Al Hates…a Cat?

It was a rainy day in Central. Ed and Al were outside, not really enjoying the rainy weather, and they were looking for clues on the Philosopher's Stone. A cat walked by-not just any ordinary cat-it was big! Big for a cat anyway…

Ed and Al walked right past the soaking wet cat when all of a sudden Ed stopped.

"Al? Aren't you gonna stop and protect the cat from the rain?" asked Ed.

"Huh?" replied Al, and kept walking.

"Are you ok?" said Ed.

"Ya…why?"

Ed hands Al the cat.

"Meow!" said the cat.

Al screamed and threw the cat, but Ed quickly caught and gently put it down.

"What the hell are you doing! You could've killed the poor thing!" yelled Ed.

"Th-that wasn't a normal moew! That cat's an imposter!" said Al with the most frightened look that a suit of armor can have.

"An imposter to what?"

"Catkind!"

"…"

"Wait…since when do you like cats?"

"I don't!"

"Then why'd you save this 'cat' when I threw it?"

"I uhh…just shut up!"

"Why are you so mad, brother?"

"I'm not mad!"

"Sure…"

"Wanna go for ice cream?" asked Ed, trying to change the subject.

"Uhh…brother…I can't eat, remember?"

"So! You're coming anyway!"

Ed pulled Al behind him as he stomped to the ice cream store, hoping the ice cream will get him out of his bad mood.

The cat just sat there, blinking unbelievably. "Damn! Why don't they want to protect me?"

Back in Resembool, Winry had the whole town looking for Den, while she searched for him with a wrench in her hand and an evil grin on her face.
