Alchemy, Officers, and Contests
DISCLAIMER: I don't own Fullmetal Alchemist. If I did, I wouldn't say so.
Note: Yeah, I bet you're all wondering how I update so quickly. Well, let's say that right now, I have up to Chapter seven for these random stories typed. Yep. Thanks for the reviews! -blows a kiss- Love ya all! (in the not so sick way, lol)
Episode THREE
Breda Babysits
Hughes barged into Roy's office, where all of the colonel's subordinates looked up all at the same time. The raven haired man himself kept reading a report. Hughes' eyes darted from left to right, from one officer to the next. Each one (with the exception of Hawkeye) tensed a bit, hoping he was not going to do what they that he was gonna do.
"Is there anyone here who can babysit Elicia tonight?" Hughes asked suddenly. No one said a word. "anyone?" he looked over to Fury.
"I-ah-I can't! I have to write a letter tohome!" the young man answered. Hughes looked over to Hawkeye.
"I have to watch Black Hayate."
"Me? I doubt I would be able to babysit. . .considering how old I have become. . ." (Falman) Each officer managed to make up an excuse not to babysit Elicia (although, Hawkeye's was true). The only ones who didn't speak were Breda and Roy.
"Roy? How about you? You seem to not be busy tonight." Hughes said.
"Aww. . .but then Breda wouldn't be able to meet your beautiful daughter, and be able to spend some time with her!" the colonel whined. Breda quickly brought up his hands in protest, but before he could do anything about it, he was grabbed and dragged out the door.
"You'll love Elicia! She is just the cutest thing you'll ever meet! And just the other day, she-" Hughes rambled on and on, while Breda struggled to get free from the lieutenant colonel's strong grasp.
"she has to be in bed by seven and we'll be home by ten." Hughes finally finished. You know, he never stopped to take a breath from talking since they had left the office. The door finally closed, and Breda was left in the living room with little Elicia running around and squealing. The man groaned and sat on the couch with a loud 'plop.'
"Heeeeeeyyyy!" Elicia said. Breda looked at her. "you're supposed to be playing a game with me!" The older man rolled his eyes, and then he had an idea.
"I know a GREAT game we could play! It's called 'Hide and Seek.' You hide, and I'll look for you!" Breda answered.
"Okay!" The girl ran off making airplane noises. The man jut sat there on the couch, looking for through a book.
About, oh, three hours later, there was a loud scream, and Elicia came running towards Breda, crying. She jumped on the couch and hid under one of the quilts, still wailing.
"Uh, what's up. . .er. . .wrong?" the officer asked.
"IT'S THE BOOGEY MAN! I SAW HIM UNDER MY BED!" Elicia yelled. She got up and grabbed Breda's hand. "KILL 'IM! KILL 'IM!" she began dragging him to her room.
Once in her room, she pointed under her bed.
"THE BOOGEY MAN!" she screamed in a scary tone. "HE'S IN THERE!" Breda sighed and walked over and looked under her bed. He saw some sort of dark figure, and it crawled slowly. Suddenly the light went out, and Elicia started crying again. This freaked the older man out, because the last thing he saw was something crawling under her bed, so he started screaming. They both ran out of the room and hid under a quilt on the couch.
They spent the rest of the night in fear.
"We're home!" Hughes called as he entered the house with his wife. Elicia perked up, and she jumped from the couch, and ran over to her father.
"IT'S THE BOOGEY MAN!" she cried. Breda hid under the quilt, nodding in agreement. Hughes raised an eyebrow, and the girl led him to her room. She pointed under her bed. Hughes went and looked, and reached under the bed. He grabbed the creature, and took out a blue party dress. A mouse scurried across the floor.
"Here's your Boogie Man! Your ' 'ol Boogie Dress!" Hughes laughed.
"YAY! Boogie Man is gone!" Elicia cheered. Breda twitched in embarrassment, and they let him go home.
At Breda's home, he got into his pajamas, and hopped into bed. He turned off the light, and almost fell asleep when he heard something under his bed. He quickly turned on the light and looked. A pale face stared at him.
"AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH! IT'S THE BOOGEY MAN!"
Later, as it turned out, Breda forced Havoc to go look, and the Boogie Man turned out to be a Halloween Mask, and the noise under his bed was just some stuff falling when Breda jumped into bed. Even so, the man is still keeping the thought that the Boogie Man was real.
Heh heh, I have no clue where on earth I got that Boogie Man idea, but I know it was never from the movie (I never saw it). So, tell me what you think and review! (walks away) I'm. . .too hyper to be sane. . .to hyper to be sane. . .uh huh.
