Hi again. I'm feeling a little depressed today, because this Saturday the Fullmetal Alchemist anime series is coming to an end. It wouldn't be so bad if the movie (Fullmetal Alchemist: The Conqueror of Shambala) was coming to America soon, but I haven't been able to find a date for that.
Disclaimer: Fullmetal Alchemist doesn't belong to me. If it did, there would be more than 51 episodes (and at the rate I update, there would be maybe 5 new episodes per year).
Havoc left Hughes' office in a daze. He had spent the last hour hearing about Elisia and how adorable she is, and now he was exhausted. "You don't look so good," Riza said when she saw him, "Are you feeling well?"
"You could have come to get me after a few minutes," he replied. "I was stuck looking at pictures of Hughes' kid, and you know how he gets."
"Yes, and that's exactly why I wanted to keep away from him. Unlike some individuals, I have work to do," she told him.
"Whatever. I just hope somebody tries to use that telephone soon."
Sciezka looked at the stack of paper on her desk. At 482 pages, it was one of the longer documents she had needed to write. "Lt. Colonel, I'm finished with the papers for Colonel Gray," she announced. "Do you have anything else for me to do?"
"Actually," Hughes said, "There isn't anything I need done right now, but you can call Colonel Gray at South headquarters and let him know the documents he requested are on their way."
"Yes sir, I'll do that right now," Sciezka replied. She sat back down at her desk and picked up the phone. "Strange," she thought, "No dial tone." She tried the number, but the telephone wouldn't respond. "Lt. Colonel Hughes, the telephone doesn't seem to be working. I used it this morning, but there's not even a dial tone now."
"That's odd. I'll get someone to come repair it," Hughes told her. "In the meantime, you can go ahead and get started on these," he said, giving her a list of documents.
"I'm telling you, I can see into your future, and today's the day. You're going to have to go fix her phone, and while you're there you can ask her to dinner, or out for coffee, or something."
"You can't possibly know if that's going to happen," Fury said. If someone could predict the future, it definitely wouldn't be Jean Havoc. Just then, a young man in uniform interrupted them.
"Excuse me sir," he said to Fury, "But Lt. Colonel Hughes needs you to come repair a telephone for Miss Sciezka when you get a chance." The man saluted and left.
Fury looked at Havoc. "How did you know?" he asked.
"The same way I know you're going to need a new telephone cord," Jean responded, smiling.
Fury couldn't figure out how Havoc knew about the phone, but he got the new cord before he left. Sciezka was writing another file when he arrived to repair the telephone. She looked up when she heard him come in. "Hi, uh, I'm Master Sergeant Cain Fury. I came to repair your telephone," he told her. "So, um, what seems to be the problem?"
"Oh, it just stopped working," she said, "And I'm Sciezka."
Cain looked at the phone, and quickly found the problem. "The cord is almost completely severed here," he told Sciezka. "That's why it stopped working. I'll replace it, and that should fix the problem." He changed out the cords and got ready to go. "Sorry Havoc," he thought, "But I just can't do it; there's no way she could want to go on a date with me."
As Fury was walking toward the door, Sciezka stopped him. "Thank you for coming to fix the phone," she said, "I really appreciate it."
"Um, Sciezka, would you, uh, like to go to get some coffee with me after work today?"
Sciezka looked surprised. "Sure," she said, "I have to go feed and walk Lieutenant Hawkeye's dog first, though. Do you want to come, too?"
"Yes, it's been a while since I saw Black Hayate. So I guess I'll see you then," Fury said.
"Yeah, see you then!"
Please leave me a review. I need that little ray of light in my otherwise worthless existence (OK, maybe it isn't quite that bad, but I'd still appreciate a review).
