I know y'all probably thought that I had dropped off the face of the earth, never to update this story again, but I'm still here. Basically I got grounded from the computer again. It doesn't take much.
Disclaimer:Fullmetal Alchemist still isn't mine. I just think it's really, really cool.
Isn't she just the cutest thing you've ever seen in your life? My little Elisia just fills each day with sunshine! Here she is with a flower, and she has on a cute hat in this one, and there she is with a caterpillar..." Hughes rambled on while poor Sciezka just sat there, a blank look on her face. "That's, uh, great, but I have all this work to do, so can I look at pictures some other time?" she asked. "Oh, all right. You know, I don't think Roy's seen these yet," Hughes said, and then ran off to find the colonel. Sciezka sighed. Hughes could be so annoying. "I should have let Lieutenant Hawkeye introduce me to Fury," she thought to herself, "but what would I have said?"
"So you're not even gonna talk to her?" Havok asked, exasparated. Fury looked down. "I don't know what to say to her." "Ask how she's been, or talk about the weather, or something to start a conversation," Havok told him. "Well... maybe, but I'm not sure..." Fury began. Just then Lieutenant Hawkeye walked by on the way to her desk. "Hey!" Havok exclaimed, turning to face Riza, "you got a minute?" "That depends," Riza responded," is this work related?" Havok thought about it for a moment. "Yeah," he said, "it can be considered sort of related to working, maybe."
Riza sighed. She couldn't believe what she was about to agree to. "So let me get this straight," she said. "You want me to go distract Sciezka while you break the telephone by her desk. Then Cain will come to fix it, and the two of them will have to talk to each other." "Yep, that's the plan. Great, isn't it?" he replied. "Brilliant. So how long will it take you to damage military property and remove yourself from an area you have no business in?" Riza asked. "Like, thirty seconds, maybe a minute," Havok responded. "Fine, let's get this over with," Riza said.
"Sciezka," Riza called, "could you come here a minute. I hate to take you away from your work, but I have a favor to ask." "Sure," Sciezka answered, leaving her desk to walk with Riza, "what is it?" "I won't be home until late tonight. Could you walk and feed Black Hayate for me, if it wouldn't be too much trouble?" "Sure Lieutenant, I just need directions to your house." While Riza was giving Sciezka directions, Havok was breaking the telephone. "There, all done," Havok said to himself. He was just about to leave when Hughes came in. "Hey Havok, what are you doing here? And where's Sciezka?" Havok thought a second. "She went with Lieutenant Hawkeye," he replied, "and I was, uh, looking for you. Roy said you had some new pictures of your daughter." Havok suppressed a groan. He didn't want to suffer through a picture presentation, but there wasn't time to come up with a better excuse. Hughes whipped out a stack of photographs. "Look at this one! Isn't my adorable little girl the most beautiful thing you've ever seen. She drew me the prettiest picture just yesterday; I think she's going to be an artist. And then this morning..."
