Chapter 9: Therapy with Mr. Rogers.
Have you ever wondered what would happen if the FullMetal cast met Mr. Rogers? Well I am about to show you what would happen. Thanks to all of you who took the time to review, I really appreciate it. Oh, one more thing, I forgot to mention that Thom is always smoking, so from now on he will always have a cigarette.
This starts with a letter to Mr. Rogers from Bradley, and Dante. It goes as follows:
To: Rob Rogers
From: Furer Bradley and Dante
Mr. Rogers, we would like to thank you for agreeing to accept the following people for therapy. I have included a short bio for each.
Patient 1: Greed- Greed is a homunculus who can make his body harder then diamond.
Patient 2: Thomas Roadruck- He is a former state alchemist that enjoys blowing things to bits. He is a wild-card that would sooner kill you then say hello.
Patient 3: Zolf Kimblee- Also a former state alchemist, he also enjoys blowing things up.
Patient 4: Jennifer Roadruck- An alchemist who can control darkness. She has anger issues with her brother.
Once again, thank you and good luck, you'll need it.
Furer Bradley.
Lady Dante.
Mr. Rogers put down the letter and walked into the room where his patients were waiting. The two that he assumed were Thomas and Greed were drinking beer and smoking cigarettes. He then looked at Jennifer, who was glaring coldly at the man beside her. The last man, who must be Kimblee, was rubbing a bright red slap mark on his cheek.
He smiled at them and said, "Hello there, my name is Mr. Rogers, and I'm your therapist. Why don't you introduce yourselves to each other?"
Kimblee said in an irritated tone, "We already know each other."
Rogers smiled again and said, "Well I don't know you, so why don't you introduce yourselves to me?" He points to Greed and says, "Why don't you start?"
Greed said, "My name is Greed. I love beer, women, money, and smokes."
Rogers said, "Alright, who's next?"
Thom says, "My name is Thom. I like drinking, killing, and blowing shit up."
Kimblee continued, "I'm Kimblee." He points to Thom and said, "The same as him."
Jen finishes, saying, "I'm Jennifer. Anything else about me is none of your business."
Mr. Rogers left eye twitches. He says, "Well, it's nice to meet you all. Now then, let's get started."
He pulls some plushy puppets out of his desk, which were in a crude likeness of the four patients. He then said, "Now, I want you to take the puppet that resembles you." They took the puppets, and he continued. "These are your new friends. I want you to use them to show how you feel."
Thom took one look at his puppet and tossed it over his shoulder, Greed used his as an ash-tray, Jen left hers sitting on her desk, and Kimblee contemplated blowing his up.
Mr. Rogers looked at Greed and Thom and said, "I'm sorry, but there is no smoking in here. You'll have to put those cigarettes out."
Greed put his out on his puppet and Thom blows his up.
Rogers's eye twitches again.
After they put out the cigarettes, he said, "Now then, I want you to switch puppets with the person next to you."
Thom and Greed switch puppets, and Jen and Kimblee switch. Greed looks at Thom's puppet and, realizing that something is missing, glues one of Thom's kunai to its hand. Thom, with a look of utmost boredom on his face, pulls a kunai out of his coat, and proceeds to toss it up and catch it.
Rogers looks over and notices that a sword is leaning against Jen's desk and that she is cleaning a gun.
He says in a shaky tone, "I'll have to confiscate your weapons."
He walks over and picks up Jen's gun and sword. He walks over to Thom, who stands up and pulls six kunai out of his pockets. He then begins to pull knife after knife out of his coat.
After making a large pile of them on his desk, he takes off his still knife loaded coat and hands it to Mr. Rogers, saying, "You know what, just take the whole damn coat."
Rogers walks over to his desk and puts them in a drawer, which he locks.
"Now then, the person you have the puppet of is your therapy buddy. They will help you express your feelings. Remember, it's o.k. to feel sad and upset sometimes. Well, I think we've made some real progress today. I'll see you all tomorrow."
The scene ends with the four patients walking out of the office, and Mr. Rogers's eye twitching uncontrollably.
