Disclaimer: I don't own FMA.
I arrived later that afternoon, going straight to the Hughes house to drop off my stuff and change into my uniform, which Pinako was nice enough to wash for me.
Of course at the door I got a big hug from Elicia, a hug from Gracia, and two enthusiastic "welcome home"s. I cheerfully prodded into my room to change but noticed something.
Frosty was here.
"Where were you?" Frosty demanded. I walked past him and put my bag down.
"Now you treat me like a runaway child." I sighed, straightening up and putting my hands on my hips. "I was at Resembool with Edward Elric. Nothing special, I chose to stay there for a bit." I sighed again. "Geez, what are you people, my parents? I don't like restrictions."
"Well, too bad," Frosty said, changing into Envy with a crackle of red lightning, "Father wants to know where you are." I snorted.
"Just so one of his lackeys like you can follow me? Invasion of privacy wasn't part of my deal." I said carelessly, jumping on my bed and kicking my shoes off.
"If it makes you cooperate, Father can always take the Hughes woman and the brat as hostages." Envy said, smiling sadistically. That I paid attention to.
I snapped up to look at Envy.
"You damn people are making it hard for me." I said, rubbing my temples. "And just as my life was going great! I swear, every time I'm happy, life loves to torture me." I cursed. Envy looked at me with eyebrows raised.
"Did something happen with the Fullmetal boy in Resembool?" He asked bluntly. My face got all red as I just barely avoided a nosebleed. I threw a pillow at Envy with all my might, but he just laughed and dodged it.
"Something did happen!" He teased.
"NO! HAHAHAHA ARE YOU KIDDING? THAT SHRIMP? HAHAHAHAHahahaha..." I said.
"That shrimp is taller than you."
"SHUT THE HELL UP PALMTREE!" I said, blushing madly.
"What happened?" Envy asked. As I relived the events, I blushed even more if that was possible.
"Nothing. Just spending quality time." I said.
"What? No kissing?"
"ENVY!" Thwack.
"So you did-"
"SHUT UP!" Smack.
"I hope you didn't go too far-" BAM.
"I think it'd be in your best interest to SHUT THE HELL UP?"
"I don't want another brat to watch-" SMACK, THUMP, SCREECH, SPLASH.
"HEY! DONT GET BLOOD ON MY FLOOR!"
"I can't help it you just stuck my bone out of my arm." Envy said. By now, from what Envy said, I had pictures in my mind, and oh, did those cross the romance barrier. My nose almost spurted out blood.
"Damn, damn, damn, damn, damn..." I muttered, going to the bathroom while Envy laughed his ass off in my room. I had stolen my uniform so I was going to change.
After I changed, I came into my room to see Envy waiting for me impatiently.
"Let's go." Envy said, as if I were to go somewhere with him. Yep, parents all over again. But at least I can whine all I want without the threat of loosing my sweet, sweet Internet.
"I have already made plans for tonight."
"What are they?"
"I am going to report in to Central Command and check up on everything. Say, have any of the hummonculi, you know... Been gone?" I said, trying not to give it away. Envy looked at me weirdly.
"No..." He said. I nodded happily. The Colonel hadn't launched his half-brained scheme yet.
"Okthatsallgottagoseeyabye!" I said hurriedly as I rushed out the door, smoothing out my uniform.
"Where are you going in such a rush?" Gracia asked as I streaked through the kitchen.
"Central Command, I'll be back later." I said, exiting the kitchen as I sped through the rest of the house and out the door.
After quite a bit of rushing, I finally reached Central Command.
"Liz, buzz me in to the Colonel, ok?" I said as I swept by the counter. Liz, the front desk attendant, had gotten to know me by now and knew I was always rushing.
"Alright." She said as I speed walked down the halls, navigating my way to the Colonel's office.
Hey! I only got lost once! I cheered as I found the Colonel's door, new record!
"Sir! Reporting in!" I said, barging in Mustangs office. His co-workers stared at me as I raced up to Mustang's desk and saluted him with my RIGHT hand.
"Lynette," Mustang said, surprised. "Is FullMetal with you?"
"No sir, he's staying in Resembool until tomorrow morning, sir." I said. Mustang nodded.
"Good."
"You're planning another half-brained scheme, aren't you, Colonel Mustang?" I said. Mustang sighed.
"It's not half-brained!" He protested. I shook my head, smiling.
"It most certainly is if it came out of your brain."
"Hey! It's rude to talk to your superiors like that."
"Oh, my mistake, COLONEL Mustang." I laughed. He sighed again.
"Trouble maker."
"Half-brained schemer."
"Amateur."
"Pyro maniac."
"Hydro maniac."
"Old man."
"Little kid."
"Womanizer."
"Shrimp lover."
"HARDHEADED!"
"Small brained."
"Stupid Colonel..." I muttered. He took victory in our insult war, amazing everyone in the room. After our little banter, Mustang quietly informed me about his half-brained scheme, which I quickly agreed to participating in. Just as I was about to leave, Mustang stood up abruptly.
"Also, WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME SOONER?" He demanded. I turned around, confused.
"What?"
"That you and the shrimp are getting married." Cue major reaction.
"WHAT?! WHERE THE HELL-" I shouted in alarm, doing everything in my power not to get a nosebleed. Mustang held up a taped paper, and I examined it.
I paled.
"HOW THE HELL DID YOU GET THAT?!" I yelled, trying to snatch the paper from Mustang. He kept it away from me, looking at me observably.
"An officer reported this after it hit him in the face when he was waiting for a train in a town in the East." He said. I sweat dropped. It really had hit someone in the face. That'd be funny if I weren't greatly embarrassed at this moment.
"I'M ONLY TWELVE FOR GOD'S SAKE!" I said, "THAT WAS ONLY A GAME ED AND I PLAYED ON THE TRAIN!"
"What kind of game?" Mustang said suspiciously.
"IMAGES! IMAGES!" I shouted, closing my eyes and blocking my ears. And since I had those in my head, I covered my face with my hands to hide the nosebleed that would follow, not wanting Mustang never to let me live this down.
"I WILL REPORT TO OFFICER FALMAN'S HOUSE IMMEDIATELY MKAY BYE!" I said as I rushed out.
I was currently sitting by Jean Havoc, dressed all in black like a ninja. We were waiting for a signal from Hawkeye.
I heard a buzzing noise from Havoc's headset, pulling out my gun and loading it.
"Copy that." Havoc said into the radio, cocking his gun. I put the bullet carriage into the gun, making sure I did it alright.
"Let's go." Havoc said to me, and I got to my feet with a grin as I cocked my own gun Hawkeye had lent me. This was going to be fun.
Havoc and I burst in to find Barry fighting with his human body, and Falman aimed a gun at us. Havoc whacked it away before he could shoot and shot at Barry's body, and I took a few shots myself.
"Smells like an ash tray... Jean Havoc? And a girl going crazy with a gun... Lynette?"
"FALMAN!" Havoc and I yelled simultaneously, pissed off, "DON'T YOU THINK WE'RE WEARING THESE MASKS FOR A REASON?!" Falman blinked as Havoc ranted on, "Man I can't stand working with amateurs..."
"OH!" Falman said frantically, saluting, "SORRY BOUT THAT!"
"Yeah, and I'm sorry you got dragged into this." Havoc said, "Just don't do anything that would give away your involvement. The could be watching us from everywhere."
"Man, I thought I actually looked like a ninja, too..." I pouted as Barry was slammed into a wall. His body pulled his armor's arm off, and I shot at the body, Havoc joining in.
"Take it outside." Havoc said as we all dashed out of the room and down the dark hallway of the apartment complex.
"But isn't there a good chance that the enemy is outside?" Falman asked, checking his gun he had retrieved as we ran.
"We'll be safer there." I said as we filed out onto the doorstep of the complex building. We got in a group formation, weapons ready.
A window above us exploded, and Barry's body was launched out. I shot at it but it dodged, and when Havoc tied to shoot his bullet got stuck.
Barry's body came at him, but was launched back when a bullet struck through his hand.
"Told you it was safer." I said, relieved.
"The hawk's eyes are watching out for us out here."
