Wow, I'm so happy so many people seem to like this. It was just an idea that kinda popped

into my head. Forgive me if the story is confusing, but I'm just kind of writing what

comes into my head. I'll make sure everything gets explained though. Anyway, enjoy:

Roy sighed.

"This is going to be the most interesting assignment I have ever received."

"YES INDEED IT WILL, FRIEND!"

Roy put his head down and banged it on his desk. He laid his hands face down and started

tapping them.

"Why so glum, chum?" Hughes said with a genuine concern for his friend.

"That kid…."

Suddenly Hughes' eyes got big and he covered Roy's mouth.

"DON'T EVER SAY THAT!"

He looked around nervously.

"He could be listening."

Roy raised an eyebrow.

"So now you're afraid of him?"

Hughes put his hand behind his head and smiled nervously.

"Sorta…."

Roy sighed again. He put his feet on his desk and began cracking his knuckles.

"What?" Hughes asked.

"It's just… this is an awfully strange assignment… but…"

He paused.

"These are awfully strange people…"

Hughes nodded.

"So it is the "Red Claw"

Roy nodded once and twisted his chair around toward the window.

"One thing bothers me though."

"What?" Hughes came up behind the Colonel's chair and leaned on it.

"Nothing…"

Hughes twisted the chair around and grabbed Roy's cheeks and pinched them.

"Oh come on! Tell your old pal!"

Roy swatted his hands away and sighed.

"You know they're Alchemists, right?"

"Yea."

"Well, I was thinking…"

He paused.

"Why do they want to kill Ed?"

Hughes began thinking about it.

His eyes became large and he turned around.

"I don't know, but now that you've pointed that out, it doesn't look all that good."

"You've got a theory?" Roy questioned.

"Yea…"

"Tell me…"

"Well, you've heard about them experimenting on other Alchemists, right?"

Roy's eyes got big.

"What if they don't want to kill him, I mean, he does has a great deal of potential."

"You think they want to use him?" Roy asked, with concern in his voice.

"It's possible." Hughes folded his arms and sighed.

Roy stared out the window and bowed his head in anguish.

"I've seen what they do them in there and so have you. We have to keep Edward away from them."

Hughes nodded his head.

"Agreed."

"This is gonna be one tough situation." Hughes said, with a dark tone. He started walking to the door. Roy

stared at his window and sighed.

Suddenly Hughes came up behind him and yelled, "Boo!"

Roy smiled. "Didn't scare me."

"Aww.." Hughes pouted.

"What are you thinking about?"

"Nothing."

"Liar."

"It's just…"

He paused and sighed.

"Don't worry; I doubt they even remember you."

Roy sighed and bowed his head.

"I know they do."

"Huh?" Hughes questioned.

"Nothing. We should get back to work."

Hughes nodded and stretched.

"It'll be nice to take a vacation for a while."

Roy smiled. "A vacation… yea, it'll be nice."

Edward stepped out of his room in purple pants and a white shirt. Also, with an EXTRA PADDED bra. Alphonse

laughed. Edward blushed and growled.

"Shut up Al!"

He laughed some more. He struggled to get around in the high-heels he was wearing. "This is so

humiliating." Edward tried walking towards Alphonse and when Alphonse moved,

everyone in the office was staring at Edward. He blushed and rushed to get back to his

room. Suddenly, Riza pushed her way through

the crowd holding a pair of tennis shoes. "Not even I know how to wear high-heels." She

rolled her eyes and sighed. She then noticed that Ed's "boobs" were off to the side. She

fixed them without saying anything, stood back and put her hand on her chin.

"Take your hair down."

"What?"

"Take your hair down, that's an order."

Ed mumbled something about stupid Lieutenants and stupid orders as he untied his hair

and pulled out the braid. Riza began messing with his hair. She tucked one side behind his

ear and left the other side over his eye. She pulled out a hair pin and put it on the hair she

pulled behind his ear. Edward put his hands on his hips and blushed.

"This is so humiliating."

Riza fought off a smile and said,

"This isn't even the worst part."

"That's the second time today someone's said that to me."

Edward pointed out.

"Well, it's true."

"Okay, how bad does it get?"

She began to laugh a little and said,

"You and the Colonel have to pretend to be newlyweds."

Ed's jaw dropped, and all went silent.

Just as Roy got off the phone, Edward crashed open the door to his office and declared.

"I am not kissing you!"

Roy stared at Ed. He blinked a couple times and got evil.

"Umm… can I help you Miss?"

Ed stormed over to Roy's desk and slammed his hands down on it.

"Shut up!"

He then stormed out and slammed the door.

Roy was left in dead silence.

"What the hell was that all about?"
