Caught in the Act: Alex Louis Armstrong, The Drunkard Alchemist.

Alex Louis Armstrong was the strongest Alchemist in Central city, and he was prized for that strength. He happened to be bored one day to the point where he was lifting different objects to test out how strong he was and eventually he got bored with that as well.

"There is nothing for me to do today. Boredom and Amusement are two sides of the same coin, only amusement is the harder to get of the two!" Armstrong said to himself as he easily lifted his desk as if he were handling an egg.

---STOP STOP STOP---

Wait for a moment dear and devoted readers. You may recognize the phrase: "Two sides of the same coin." That came from the thing he said about Alchemy to Scar in volume two of the Manga. Armstrong states: "What destroys can also create! What creates can also destroy! Destruction and Creation are two sides of the same coin! It's the eternal law of the cosmos!" (Strange how I remember this and not get an "A" on my science tests…) any way, it's something like that, strange and funny as he rips off his shirt… but any way….

---Story? What story… OH This story! I knew that…---

Armstrong set his desk down as a knock sounded at the door. The person behind the door was lieutenant colonel Maes Hughes, one of Armstrong's best friends. (Best allies? Hell, I donno what terms the Lt. Col. And Maj. Are on…)

"Ready to have some fun Major?" Maes asked and Armstrong smiled.

"Ready and willing!" Armstrong said saluting his higher up.

A few hours later Roy came looking for Maes and Armstrong one to give paperwork to and the other to talk privately with. Roy had looked every place he could think of for the Strong-arm alchemist and the living Kodak commercial but when he couldn't find them he rubbed his temples in exasperation. Roy really needed a drink so he picked up his jacket and headed to the local bar where he and Maes usually spent their together time. No, Roy and Maes are NOT gay lovers… Although that's got a highly sexy sound to it, but no… this isn't a Shonen Ai story….

When Roy got to the bar he sat in his normal seat and slumped over the counter laying his head on his hand.

"What'll you have tonight Colonel?" The bartender asked as he wiped a beer mug and set it by the flame Colonel.

"The usual, a Bloody Mary with an extra shot on the side." Roy told the bartender and soon his alcoholic beverage was set before him. "Mmmmm…. I love that smell…" Roy said to himself as he sipped lightly at the drink breathing deeply through his nose.

"Hello Mustang, what brings you here?" the voice of Lieutenant Colonel Maes Hughes said drunkenly.

"Paperwork, Hawkeye, Ed, and loads of other crap." Roy muttered the warm befuddlement of the alcohol settling in his system. "by the way… wheres the major?" Roy asked as he chugged a bit more of his bevrage.

"'ezoberdere…" Maes slurred pointing toward a gaggle of women, his drunkenness deepened because he had drunk more while Roy had talked.

Roy sighed and gathered the papers he had brought with him. He approached the drunken Strongarm Alchemist and immediately regretted it. Armstrong grabbed Roy around the waist and began to waltz with him. After the dance Armstrong kissed Roy on the lips and spoke.

"Dizdabeztdeyobmelif." Armstrong slurred and Maes sat and laughed at the half drunk Colonel and the wasted Major, and little did they know… Ed was taking pictures…
