Chapter Four
AN: Yeah, I know that chapter three was freakishly crappy and was only filled with romance junk but this is the chapter where it will have a little bit of both action and romance. I plan to make this story five or six chapters long, I planned for it to be four chapters before. I know the last chapter I wrote was freakishly exaggerated but this one is definately going to be way better! Read to see!
Winry Rockbell looked at Edward with a very aggravated glare and exclaimed,"All because you're jealous Ed, doesn't mean that you get to take your anger out on us! You ass!" She then looked at Alphonse and said,"Let's go and let Ed calm down... I hate it when he acts like the asshole he really is with me..."
Winry dragged Alphonse along with her and First Lieutenant Alphonse looked at his brother with a mixture of sadness and sympatising.
Edward glared at they went past him and stormed into his office, thinking thoughts of hatred and jealousy as he rushed through all of his paperwork. "All Al's fault... I bet that he made Winry think that I was evil so that he could get her to be his only... That bastard, why do I have to be related to him!"
Jean Havoc looked at Edward Elric and asked,"Are you okay Boss? You look as if you've been dumped by a pretty hot girl."
Edward Elric glared at him and answered bitterly,"Yes I am okay Havoc, why the hell would I not be okay?"
Jean Havoc looked at Edward again and said,"Whatever you say Boss!" He lit up his billionth cigarette of the day and put it in his mouth, smoking while he did his paperwork.
Everyone of the subordinates in the room, Falman, Breda, and Havoc looked at each other and started whispering about Edward's odd attitude quietly.
"Colonel Elric is acting very oddly lately, I wonder what happened..." Heymans Breda whispered in thought.
"I bet he got dumped by some pretty hot girl. I act like that if I get dumped by a girl that I REALLY liked." Jean Havoc answered in a whisper.
Kain Fuery laughed and then immediantly quieted down to not make the Colonel suspicious. "Yup, Jean's actually right you know!" Fuery whispered.
When Colonel Edward Elric started staring at them in anger, they immediantly stopped whispering and continued on doing their endless and very horrible paperwork.
After finishing his paperwork, Edward Elric looked at the book that he had checked out and researched through it very thoroughly. The book had things about switches like the one that he was stuck in, who would remember, why it had happened and how to fix the odd switch-up.
"I have to tell Al, Hawkeye and Mustang about this!" Colonel Edward Elric thought in excitement, nearly forgetting about Winry being mad at him and his broken heart.
"That jerk! He didn't even run after us or anything! How heartless is he becoming now?" Winry said to Alphonse who was sitting down with a glum expression on his face. Winry spotted his glumness and asked,"What's wrong Al?"
"Nothing is wrong Winry. It's just that Brother seems mad at me and he seems upset..." Alphonse mumbled sadly. By upset, Alphonse Elric had meant heartbroken.
Winry looked at Alphonse and said,"It doesn't matter if he seems mad or upset, he's only showing his attitude to us because he's a selfish little..." She trailed off into a line of insults and very inappropriate curses about Edward.
Edward Elric ran out of the State Alchemist Building with a smile on his face and tried to find Hawkeye and Mustang as he needed to tell them about the switch-up information.
"Damn it, where are those two? It's as if they went out on a date or something..." Edward pondered on the thought of them going out together on a date for a moment but then he shook it all out. "I have no time to ponder into their love life, I just need to get this all back to normal!"
The older Elric brother kept on searching for Roy Mustang and Riza Hawkeye, having his suspicions grow that they were really on a date with each other.
Riza Hawkeye stepped out of the kitchen in about ten minutes with two club sandwiches and two cans of soda.
Roy Mustang looked at the delicious looking food and then at his girlfriend Riza Hawkeye, he was utterly speechless.
"Don't you have something to say Roy? Something among the lines of thank you?" Riza Hawkeye asked as she put the food down on the table.
"Oh... Thank you very much Riza." Roy Mustang said in the midst of shock at the fact that Riza could actually cook. It wasn't that Roy thought that Riza wasn't a woman or a normal human or anything, he just never knew that she had such a feminine side to her. After all, Riza was wearing a frilly white apron and she had opened her hair when she had started serving the food to him.
AN: Were club sandwiches even invented in the FMA timing? (The timing was around World War II since it was somewhere in the 1800-something... I didn't learn about the World War yet and stuff because of my grade/the fact I live in Canada or the fact that I'm just stupid and can't figure it all out without common sense...XP)
"You know, I somehow have a feeling that someone very close to us in the military did this switch-up on us." Roy Mustang said as he took a bite of his club sandwich.
Riza Hawkeye nodded her head in agreement as she also took a bite of her sandwich and quickly chewed and swallowed it with great manners. "Yes, I think someone very close to us that knew something close about us decided to switch it all up this way."
Roy Mustang nodded as he finished his sandwich up with his a smile, it tasted so delicious that he didn't know the proper words to describe it.
"Riza, I don't know what to say... This is the best sandwich in the world!" Roy Mustang exclaimed, nearly knocking down Riza's flower vase because he had flung his arms.
Riza Hawkeye finished her sandwich with a smile and swallowed her last bite and answered,"Thank you Roy, it really wasn't as good as you make it seem."
"Yes it was Riza, what are you talking about?" Roy Mustang asked as he helped Riza put everything away.
They soon finished cleaning up the kitchen while talking to each other about random things in the military and stepped into the car again, with Riza in the driver's seat and Roy in the front seat as usual.
"Hey Riza, is that Full Metal?" Roy Mustang asked in shock as he saw the tiny blonde running about with a thick book in his hands.
Riza Hawkeye looked at the blonde that Mustang called Full Metal for a long time and nodded her head. "Yes, it is Roy. I have a feeling that Edward was looking for us."
Riza Hawkeye parked the car and the two stepped out and started walking towards the State Alchemist Building and realized that Hawkeye was right as the little blonde ran right up to them with a gleaming smile.
"Roy, Riza, I found it! I found all the answers to fix this puzzle, I know exactly why we got switched!" Edward Elric exclaimed with great excitement.
The finally 'somehow dating' pair Roy Mustang and Riza Hawkeye smiled at Edward in unison.
"So Full Metal, how did we all get switched into this wild game of luck or chance?" Roy Mustang asked with his usual smirking look.
"These switch-ups happen to three or more people that are close or know each other because they argue or don't get along a lot. The only people that remember are the people that truly love you." Edward Elric said with a smile as he reread that part of the book that explained their problem.
Roy Mustang laughed and said,"Oh Full Metal, you really are challenged when it comes to thinking logically! You actually believe that we got switched because we don't get along a lot? Do you actually know how this switch happens?"
Edward Elric glared at Roy Mustang angrily and flipped the pages of the book quickly until he found Mustang's question. He smirked at him and answered,"The switches happen by all of us standing together and then someone comes and sprinkles some sort of magical alchemy powder on us."
Roy Mustang laughed more heartily and smirked at the little alchemist. "Full Metal, out of all people, I actually thought that you would not believe such dumb old lies."
Edward Elric glared at him and exclaimed,"I bet you just can't believe that one of your subordinates might have done things with the magical alchemy powder!"
"We'll see who is wrong Full Metal! Obviously though, I will be right as always." Mustang retorted with a smirk.
Riza Hawkeye sighed and looked at Roy Mustang's triumphant smirk and then at the tiny aggravated alchemist walk off towards the office that was originally Mustang's.
Hawkeye looked at Mustang and whispered,"If you actually act a little bit mature and stop teasing Edward, I may decide to wear a mini-skirt for your sake."
Mustang grinned mischieviously and answered,"You have got yourself a deal, Riza. I'll even help Full Metal find evidence for that and everything just as long as I see you in a mini-skirt."
Hawkeye sighed and just knew that that was a very bad deal that she had started and agreed with for various reasons besides the fact that lots of her skin would be showing.
Edward Elric stormed into his office and looked at all of his subordinates. "You all, do you guys know who the hell is sprinkling this magical alchemy powder on me, Al, Mustang, and Riza!"
All of them looked straight up at Edward and shook their heads except for Havoc who was still frozen in his 'idiotic mode'.
Edward Elric sighed and then continued on doing his paperwork, thinking of all of the suspects. "Hmm... It could be one of the Homunculus... No, no, they can't use alchemy even if they wanted to..."
"WRATH!" Colonel Elric exclaimed as he jumped out of his chair and ran out the door.
The subordinates watched Edward run out and laughed, they then continued to try and unfreeze the completely frozen Havoc.
Edward Elric ran up to his younger brother Alphonse and his one true love Winry. "Al, Al! I know why we got switched-up and everything! I know why!" Edward exclaimed, thrusting the book to Al and showing him the pages with the information and everything.
"Oh, I get it now. Maybe it might have been Wrath..." Alphonse said as he passed the book back to his older brother Edward.
Winry looked at Edward angrily and said,"Ed, I think you have something to say to me and Al..."
"Oh yeah, congrats on being together! I hope you have some ugly children and a short, short life!" Edward exclaimed sarcastically with a smirk.
Winry glared at Edward and her eyes had gone hollow, she took a wrench out of her bag and whacked Ed's head with it. Alphonse turned his head around and started blushing.
Edward rubbed his head and exclaimed,"Fine, fine! I AM SORRY!"
Winry smiled and immediantly calmed down. "It's okay Ed, I forgive you now that you apologized."
"Cut the crap now! We need to find the person that's putting magical alchemy powder on us or else!" Edward exclaimed as he pulled both Winry and Alphonse.
The threesome of Edward, Alphonse and Winry ran quickly together in some straight direction.
"Ed, where are we even supposed to be?" Winry asked as she looked around the surroundings around her. She realized that they were in a forest and it was getting dark and noises were coming.
Edward soon realized what they were around as well and answered,"Well, I'm trying to find the person who sprinkled magical alchemy powder on us!"
"Who the hell would live or hide out here! And even if they did, how are we supposed to see them!" Winry exclaimed in frustration and anger. She was exhausted holding her suitcase and running about for hours now.
Edward and Winry started arguing and Alphonse stammered,"C-Come on, you two. D-Don't a-argue in the middle of nowhere."
Edward, Winry and Alphonse stood next to each other in silence. The noises were freaking Winry out and she was starting to get very claustrophobic.
"You guys! Get me out of here! Where are we! I'm scared! Get me out of here or else I'll kill Ed! GET ME OUT OF THIS NOWHERE SCARY FOREST WITH NOISES! I WANT AUNTIE PINAKO!" Winry exclaimed, clutching Edward's automail arm on the verge of tears.
"Winry, Winry, calm down! We'll just retrace our steps!" Edward answered reassuringly, holding Winry's hand. "Come on Al! Let's go already! We're going back now! We'll search later!" Edward exclaimed as he started to attempt retracing his steps.
AN: Who do you think did the magical alchemy powder thing? What do you think the person will face after they all find out? Some permanent burns? A violent showdown? Find out by reading the next chappie people!
