Kids

Chapter 2: How The Best Friends Met

" It all began one day in an average boarding school in Central, where we-"

"Hold it!" yelled Ed, annoyingly. " You can't be serious, you guys couldn't have been kids! Kids are fun and cute and playful! But you guys are... are..." Ed paused to think and then turned his head to Al " Al! what's the word?..."

" Intelligent?" Al suggested. " No, that's not it..." Ed said, stroking his fingers across his chin. The members of the military just glared at Ed " You guys are just plain... BORING!" Ed said, as he found the word that he was looking for. " Especially Mustang..." Ed said under his breath. Roy just rolled his eyes and began picking at his nails to get dirt the dirt out from underneath them.

" You know, Ed " began Hughes " It's really too bad you can't imagine Roy as a kid..." He said, walking over to Roy. "Cause he was such a cute little thing!" Hughes began pinching Roy's cheeks, which made Roy's face stretch. Hughes was treating him like he was a little child. Ed just sighed.

" If it would make you any more interested, Edward, " Began Riza " The Colonel had quite a few embarassing moments when he was younger..." Ed's head shot up in attention "Well I guess we could listen to this for a while..." he grimaced with a wry smirk on his face. Hughes smiled and began telling the story once more.

" Yes, It all began one day in an average boarding school in Central..."

" Hey! Give them back!" shouted a 10- year old Maes Hughes. His hair was a bit longer and more brown and slightly curly. He had big rectangular glasses that were so large and thick that you could barely see the rest of his Face. All you saw was these big green eyes staring back at you.

" Give them bake you meanies!" He yelled at the bullies. Then Maes turned his head to see a young boy with with short black hair that was wearing a long coat. His hair was hung over his face, so Maes couldn't see it properly. " What's wrong with you, kid?" he asked, cooly.

" They took my pictures!" Maes cried, jumping up and down and pointing at the bullies " The only pictures that I have of my Mom and my Dad and my doggies and my kitties and fishies!" he wined. Them Maes put his hands on his hips and looked at the black-haired boy in a pouty way " And I'm not a kid!" The boy raised his head.

" Hey! then I won't help you!" he puted dramatically.

" And then the brat walked away and I had to save myself by-"

----

" Hughes!" the military said out in unicen " That wasn't how it happened..." Roy said, frustrated.

" Ok..." Hughes began confessing " So I changed it a bit, but come on Roy! Why do you always have to be the hero?" Roy sighed.

-----

" This is how it really happened..."

" Then I won't help you!" Roy yelled. Then Maes got down on his hands and knees and took hold of Roy's leg "PLEASE! I BEG OF YOU! I NEED THOSE PICTURES! THEY'RE MY FAMILY! FOR THE SAKE OF MY FAMILY, GET THEM BACK! WAAHHH!" Roy sighed and looked down miserably at the boy at his feet. "Fine..." he sighed.

"And then I showed something that those kids had never seen before... I snapped my fingers and click, click... BOOM! HA!"

------

" Colonel," said Riza, inturupting Roy " That isn't how it happened either..." Roy looked down at the floor " Well it was closer than Maes' story..."

----

" They were pathetic...Ed and Al, THIS is the REAL story..."

Roy stared at the kids who'd taken Maes' photograph's. The obvious leader in front had short dark brown hair and a small, tight cycinder ponytail hanging from the back of his neck. Beside him was a small, boney boy with short black hair, who seemed to have drawn a thin moustash in black marker above his mouth. And on the other side of the leader was a pale young boy with brown hair who had small, cold blue eyes. Roy glared at them and pulled something from out of his pocket.

" Come and catch me!" The leader of the posse said tauntingly, running away. Roy sprinted after the boy and they were running for quite some time when-

The boy's small pony tail was aflame. "AHHHH!" He began running in circles like an idiot and threw the photographs into the air. The kids around him kept yelling at him useless comments such as:" Stop! Drop and Roll!"

Roy smirked. He always kept a lighter in his pocket. He loved fire. He picked up the pictures and glanced at them before they were swept away from his hands. Before Roy knew it, he was in the arm of Maes, being hugged like a stuffed teddy bear. " Thank you! Thank you! We're gonna be bet friends I just know it! You just wait! I'm Maes by the way..."

"That's how it really happened...a stupid kid playing wth fire..."

------

Ed, Al and the rest of the military were laughing histerically, except Roy and Hughes. They just glared at everyone else, their fists' clutched.

" So..." began Ed, after a fit of giggles" Who was the guy who got set on fire?" Ed began chuckling and looked up at Hughes.

Hughes looked darkly at the ground " Kimbley..." Ed and Al burst out laughing as they heard the response from Hughes, who's fist was still clenched in anger...

Ok... THIS was funny! by the way, the rest of the posse was, well maybe I shouldn't tell you guys yet... but try to guess, ok? I had lots of fUn with this... so hope you like it! I did a quick update, too! go me!

It reminds them of Riza and Winry so they drink it, when they wake up, Ed finds himself to be a cat and Roy's a ... SHRIMP! So you'll probably like that if you like this! plese read and review thanks sorry this chapter wasn't very long... I have to go on a trip for a week and I wanted to post something before I left...
