Ok this is an experimental chapter, I have never wrote about a car-theft before so bare with me. Lol
I have no idea what kind of car they high jacked, but I tried my best to make it exciting.
PLEASE REVIEW! Only one person has reviewed and it's making me really sad… :(
Tell me what you think people! your opinion matters!
Disclaimer- I don't own FMA… blah, blah, blah… Al is MINE! Blah, blah, blah…
The Fast and the Furious
Where are they? Thought an irritated Winry as she stood by the food stand that she had told Ed and Al to meet her by, over an hour and a half ago. Is it really that hard to just stay in one spot!?
"Would you like some cotton candy miss?" the owner of the food stand asked for the thousandth time.
"For the last time- NO! I don't want any cotton candy, gumballs, hotdogs, OR pickles! Jeez! Can't a girl just stand next to your stand and NOT want to eat!" she snapped at the man.
She then turned away from him in a huff, and crossed her arms…. Why do I feel guilty! It's Ed's fault for being late!
Suddenly a familiar voice shouted her name from the other side of the crowd. Winry forgot about the befuddled storeowner behind her and stood on her tiptoes trying to get a view of Edward.
"Win-… –ry" he shouted as he jumped up and down trying to see her above the crowd. "We-…-need-…-your-…-help!"
Pushing past some people Winry squished herself back up onto the street.
"What did you say?" she shouted as loud as she could.
This time Al's voice answered her.
"He said-…-we need-…-your help!" he yelled but Winry could barely see the top of his head because he couldn't jump very high because of something he was carrying.
"With what?" she called out again.
Suddenly she heard Edward's voice.
"THAT'S IT! EVERYBODY OUT OF THE WAY!" then there was a loud clapping sound and a bright flash.
A large pillar of stone that went from one end of the street to the other erupted in the middle of the mob, then split in half and parted like the red sea, only with people instead of water. Ed and Al came running down the newly paved road with a girl in al's arms.
With one look at their faces she could immediately tell something was wrong.
"Ed are you ok?! Al who's that? What happened to you two, you look like you just ran a marathon!" she met them halfway and began searching for injuries, but other than Al being covered with the mysterious girl's blood she couldn't find any.
"Winry she got shot and I don't know how long she's had the wound! She said they had chased halfway across town, then when I next look at her she's passed out behind the dumpster! You've got to help her Winry!" Al said it all so fast that the mechanic could barely understand him.
"What are you talking about, Al? Who is she, and why were people shooting at her in the first place?" Winry brushed the girl's hair away from her peaceful face to check her temperature. Who would want to hurt someone like this…what could you have done to deserve this?
Edward put his real hand on Winry's shoulder and she turned to look at him.
"Do you think you can help her? We can't take her to the hospital- we don't know why she was being chased and we want to here her side of the story before people start asking questions."
"I'm not a doctor Ed…" Winry said as she looked back at the girl, then his hand squeezed her shoulder slightly.
"Can. You. Help. Her?"
"I can't promise anything, but I'll try."
"Ok, then lets go. We're gonna need a car…" Edward searched the streets until he spotted the fastest car he could find , and then an evil smile crossed his face.
The trio ran down the road, while Ed made a path by pulling out his badge and waving it in the air as he shoved people out of the way. after yanking the door of the car open he threw the swearing driver out of the car while saying-
"Official Military Business! This car is now mine until I ether break it or you find in on the side of the road. Thank you!" The slam of the car door and the click of the car locks made it final.
When Winry was seated in the passenger side with a 'I-don't-know-him look on her face and Al had gotten both him and the girl in the back seat Ed rolled the window so that there was a slight crack to speak through and he slid a small business card trough it.
"If you have any complaints just go to headquarters and ask for General Roy Mustang. Tell him Ed sent you and they should send you right up." And with that Ed rolled the window back up without a second glance, almost catching the man's fingers in the process.
Winry strapped on her seat belt with a worried look when Ed gave the car an experimental rev and smiled like an evil genius. Reaching into the glove compartment Ed grabbed out a pair of black sunglasses and put them on, then he looked out the windshield at the masses of people.
"Al… we're gonna need a road." He said as he grasped the steering wheel with both hands and put it into drive.
Al gave an exasperated sigh at his brother's fast-and-furious attitude. He could save the dramatics for later, when someone isn't DIEING! Opening the door just wide enough to fit his arms through, Al clapped his hands together and pressed them palm down onto the street, and just as his brother floored the car, the large boulevard reformed into a bridge that went over the entire town and ended on the country road that lead to there house.
The back seat door slammed shut just as his hands cleared the opening. Instantly he grasped the girl's limp body and held on as his brother tore over the bridge and to the house.
Ring! … Ring! … Ring! …
"Hello?"
"Hey, Roy! Just a heads up, there's a really pissed off guy down here sayin' you owe him a new car! …" Roy Mustang smiled and sent a mental thank you to God and to Edward Elric, as he always did when he heard his life-long friend and First lieutenant--Maas Hughes' voice. Thank you for bringing him back…
"Rooooy? … ROY! Are you there?" Maas almost shouted.
"Yes? Oh, sorry what were you saying?" Roy drummed his fingers on his desk, and leaned back in his office chair. Then he swiveled in his chair to look out his window.
"Some days I worry about you Roy… as I was saying that in about 15 seconds a ticked off guy is gonna break down your door because he thinks you owe him a new car."
"A new car!?" Roy exclaimed as he flew out of his chair.
At that exact moment he door slammed open to reveal exactly what Lt. Hughes had described.
The man was screaming his head off at the General. Chairs were being tipped over as he rant about how much it cost, papers where being shoved off his desk as he raged on and on about how it was a one of a kind—personalized—sports car. Roy ducked under his desk, taking the phone with him as his own nametag was hurled at him.
"Why did you let him up here!" he whispered furiously.
" Well, he had your card… annnnnnd he also said—" the Lt.'s voice was drowned out by the sound of a window shattering.
" He said what? What did he say!" Roy asked anxiously as he heard more of his possessions thrown out the window.
"He said that Ed sent him…" there was a deadly pause on Roy's end of the phone.
"Ummmm, I got to go I think my darling daughter Elycia is here with my lunch! Good luck!"
Click… Dial tone…
"EDWARD!!!!!!" screamed Roy at the top of his lungs as he slammed the phone back on the hook and threw it on the ground.
One, white-gloved hand- ready to snap, appeared out-from-under the desk and the General's furious voice rang out from beneath.
"You have to the count of five to get out!" He snapped loudly.
"1… 2…"
The man paused and stared at the hand for a moment.
"Or what?!"
"3…"
What are you going to do to me- snap your fingers?" the man burst into laughter.
"4…"
"How the hell did you survive war!?" he hooted.
"Just… Like... This…." Roy shot out from under his desk and ignited the air directly in front of the man, causing him to crash through the door and into the hallway.
Cringing in fear the man half-crawled, half-ran down the hallway.
Not seconds later a blonde soldier armed with guns came running into the room.
"Roy what have you gotten yourself into this time?" She asked as she lowered her gun and placed it back into the holster.
"You make it sound like it's MY fault, Riza." He said with a slight pout as he crossed his arms.
A smile lit her face as she bent and picked up a picture in a broken frame. Roy stood next to her, with Ed, Winry, and Al (in his armor still) standing next to him. Maas and his wife stood next to her with Elycia in their arms.
Everyone from Central and even some from Fort Briggs stood in front of the Elric Brother's new house- all with smiles on their faces… she knew everyone one of them… except the girl that stood with Alphonse… Nobody in the picture could remember her, as far as they had known she hadn't even been there. Al didn't even know and she was, and she was sitting on his shoulders, with her hands clasped on his head and her head resting on her hands! But whomever the smiling girl was… she made him happy.
"I remember this, don't you? I was so happy that they had finally gotten a house, instead of wandering around without a home… it was a fun day wasn't it." Hawkeye smiled warmly at Mustang. She may be serious but she always had a smile waiting for him.
Just like that Roy's anger disappeared. It would return later, for sure, but then- right at that moment- he was perfectly happy.
Hey did anyone Notice the pun in the title?! Anyone at all?
(I didn't notice until I got done writing the chapter! lol)
I'll give you a hint—
Edward was driving really **** and Roy was really *******-(until Riza came in.)
Peace-out people!
