Drabble the Tenth: Can I Keep Him?

It was the middle of the night, and there was someone following Scar. But every time he turned around to see who it was, a shadow just barely dodged out of sight. It was beginning to make him slightly nervous.

"Who's there?" he called out over his shoulder. There was no answer. He frowned and began to walk faster. This was starting to get a bit creepy. Then a loud crash came from directly behind him, and he spun around. A pile of crates had fallen over, and there was the silhouette of someone trapped halfway beneath them. Time to see who his stalker was. He went over to the person, only to see that it was only a stone likeness of a person. He whirled when he heard a noise behind him, but it was already too late. A large figure pounced, and he felt a needle puncture his right arm…

The next morning, Al ran up to Ed, holding out something that made the vertically challenged alchemist's mouth drop open. It was Scar, whose expression was a mixture of anger and just plain freaked-out-ness. He was bound with rope from his shoulders to his ankles, and his mouth was taped shut.

"MMPH!" the Ishbalan was struggling furiously against his bonds, "MMM MPH MMMPH!"

"Al…?" Ed was slowly backing away. He really didn't like the expression on Scar's face; it promised a slow and painful death.

"Niisan, can I keep him?"

A/N:Heeheehee...the thought of this is both freakyAND cute. I've been playing withthis idea for a while, and thought about making it longer, but when I did it didn'tturn outso well. I like this short version better. Oh, and in case you were wondering why Scar wasn't using hisright arm to destroy the rope, Al gave him a special kind of shot so that he couldn't (this was explained in the longer version, but not here). Anywho, I'll answerreviews now.

Moonglitter2: I'm glad you thought so!
Scar's fangurl: There you are; I'd been wondering where you'd gone. :) I'm glad you liked it so much!
Anasazi Darkmoon: XD That's brilliant.I'm working on the 'drunken trio' continuation; do you have any ideas for it? Scanner still not working, but it should be soon.
Halcyon Azuminay:I like the new penname, it's verycool.Poor Scar indeed...
Sull89: Thanks!
crazyanimefreak15:Hehehe...I'm glad you liked it!
Tealie: Yay! I'm loved!
Elizabeth Kimblee: Ooo, great idea! I'm writing it, but it's turning out to be more of a oneshot than a drabble, so I'll probably just put it up as a different story once it's finished. I'm glad you thinkI'm a goodwriter!
no one's friend:That's funny...can I hear (read) the teacher one? -puppy eyes-
LadyRiona: You...are scarily perceptive (that's insanely close to what I'm going to have happen). Kudos to you!And I hope you have fun on your trip...thingy. I'll be sure to read your stuff when you post it!
Chiizu-chan: Ehe...I thinkI just keep him in character unconsciously...it's like, fifty timesharder for me to get him out of character than to keep him in it. And, yesh, I am a huge Scar fan; evenmy friends who don'twatch the show knowwhohe isby now. And yeah, if I ever get an idea, I'll write a Barry fic for you. ;)
