Sorry it's taken so long to update!
I've had horrible bouts with writer's block over the past couple months and my update average is pretty low...
I will finish this story, though! I promise! There's going to be a sequal too!
Please Review
Kenny jumped off the train and Seth rolled his eyes as he followed her lead, only he stepped off the train.
There they were at last. East City. The sky was cloudy, indicating that rain was soon to fall. That was making Kenny even more excited about taking her time. There was nothing better to do than dance in the rain in her opinion.
"Kenny! Don't even think about it! Can't we please just get to Eastern Command?" She frowned at her brother's whining, but didn't argue.
"Fine. Spoilsport." The Flye Siblings continued to make their way through the streets of East City, unknowing of the fact that they were being watched by a great enemy from the shadows.
"Heh. Dumb broad. You're luck's coming to an end."

Kenny sat on the couch in the Colonel's office, her arms wrapped lazily behind her neck as she leaned back.
The dark haired young man behind the desk, glared at her as she responded calmly to his shouting- by sleeping.
"Lieutenant! Wake up!" Nothing.
The Colonel's eyebrow twitched in anger as the young woman continued to sleep. He glanced to the blonde woman at his side. First Lieutenant Riza Hawkeye.
She sighed.
"Might I suggest, Sir, calling in Seth?" He growled.
"That's not an option, Riza. She's got to learn to listen, even if it's the hard way!"
"No need to get your knickers in a knot, Roy. I'm awake- now." Colonel Roy Mustang glared at the uniformed woman on the couch as she yawned and opened up one eye to stare at him.
"Lieutenant Flye, didn't I specifically tell you not to destroy anything?!"
"Everyone knows that you use reverse psychology on me. Besides, I did everything else you wanted me to do. I swear, you only focus on the negative." Roy narrowed his eyes dangerously before he placed his hands on his desk and interlocked his fingers.
"I have no choice, but to when you're concerned." Kenny gave a short laugh.
"So, what did you plan on doing to get me to wake up? Snapping your fingers and lighting my pants on fire? I'm sorry to say, but water douses fire, Roy." Her reply was quick and witty and the Colonel hated to admit it, but she had a point.
If he were to ever be in a fight against this woman, he'd get his ass kicked. However, his pride would never allow himself to admit that to anyone.
Especially not her.
She was bad enough as it was, but if she knew that he actually despised the thought of having to fight her, she'd be unbearable.
When Roy opened his mouth to retort to her, he felt his annoyance rise when he found that she was asleep. At least, she was pretending to sleep at the least.
However, his eyes soon softened.
"You know, it won't work twice, Kenny." She cracked a brilliant blue eye open before sighing and opening the other.
"Worth a shot. Well, go on with it. I'm listening." The auburn haired girl shifted her body to sit up straight, to a point where she almost looked eager.
She leaned forward slightly, locking her eyes with his onyx ones. Roy sighed.
"If you keep destroying things, your State Certification could be revoked."
"You and I both know that's a lie, Roy. I'm in the good book with the Fuhrer with all I've done and especially with my ability to cause all this havoc without a circle." She paused and her expression became somewhat serious, which was nerve racking to her boss.
She glanced to Riza briefly before a small grin made its way to her lips.
"I guess I should have mentioned this sooner, and I would have if you had of picked up the phone when I called three days ago." Roy raised a brow.
Kenny calling him? Well, he supposed that she had done stranger things- then again, maybe not.
"Mentioned what?" Her eyes flashed as her grin strengthened somewhat.
"I ran into the Elrics in Aquroya! Such nice boys! And Alphonse is so much taller than his older brother! Makes one think how that's possible-" It was then that Roy knew what she was talking about.
He brought his fingers together and rested his chin on top of his hands.
"You know why I didn't tell you. You have a habit of running your mouth."
"I know that. You don't trust me with that type of information!" She somehow continued to grin, despite the pain she felt on the inside.
She trusted him with her life and her dignity, but he didn't have the guts to even relay such important information to her.
That hurt her more than she would ever let anyone see.
Roy watched Kenny intently, wondering what she would do or say next. In truth, despite her acting like a six year old child at times, Kenny was smarter than that. Way smarter than that and she was more mature than that too.
After all, she had preformed the one and only successful Human Transmutation. Not only that, but she refused to tell him how she managed to do it. She refused to tell him, just in case someone else got news of her success and attempt to do what she had done.
Of course, at the time he just thought the girl was being selfish and immature, because she had never said why she refused to tell him such an important thing. It was over the nine years spent working with her, Roy had found himself figuring the woman out quite easily. She wasn't as hard to read as one would expect. Kenny was all about her brother and she would throw her life away for him. She also despised to see people suffer and she knew that if she gave away the secret of Human Transmutation, the world as they all knew it would come to an end.
"Colonel Pervert, stop staring at me. You're making it harder for me to insult you." Roy exhaled and then smirked.
"You know, Lieutenant, you'd probably look ten pounds thinner if you wore a skirt." Kenny raised a brow.
"That's the best you can come up with? I thought you knew that I don't give a damn about what you think." His eyebrow twitched.
"And you'd never catch me dead in a skirt, either."

Leaning back in her office chair, Kenny stared up at the ceiling as she chatted away with her fellow officers about her recent mission. In her left hand, she held a cup of coffee, which consisted of more sugar than actual coffee- not that anyone knew that.
"So, I blew the place up. I swear, if he doesn't want things to be destroyed, he needs to learn to send someone else. My middle name is Destruction for crying out loud. It's as if he expects me to not be me just for his reputation. Like hell I'll do that."
"You could be easier on the Colonel, Kenny. After all, didn't he get you this job?" Fuery implied, gaining a small smile from the woman.
"'Course he did, but that doesn't mean I'm gonna listen to everything he tells me. What am I? Thirty? No way. I've got six years to go before I begin listening to anyone who tries to change who I am." Havoc rolled his eyes and flicked his cigarette ash.
"Like anyone could change you, Ken. I bet you'll still be the same six years from now. Albeit, twenty pounds heavier." She rolled her eyes.
"Tell Roy he owes you money for that. It didn't work." Havoc's expression brightened.
"Hell, you are smart." Breda sighed.
"Tell me about it. You know she's the only one who's beaten me at chess? Speaking of which, I call for a rematch!" He waved his arm dramatically and the redhead sipped on her coffee before sitting up in her chair, grinning.
"Sure, why not? I've got nothing better to do." Falman watched as the two then set up the chess table, digging into his pocket at the same time as both Fuery and Havoc.
"My money goes on Kenny." He stated.
"Nah, she's bound to lose this time. I'm for Breda."
"So am I. She can't always win." Havoc and Fuery sat their money down on the nearby desk in a neat pile and Falman did the same.
"Alright then. It's your pockets." Breda's annoyed shouts could be heard soon after as Kenny moved her pawn and captured his queen.
Havoc and Fuery paled.
"Beat her, you moron! WE HAVE FAITH IN YOU!!!"
"GAH!!! Stop putting all the pressure on me!" Kenny sipped on her coffee and then glanced up.
"I'm waiting."
"Hey! Patience! I vow to not lose this time!"
"Which you said the last six times she won."
"SHUT UP!!!" Kenny smiled.
And this was why she enjoyed her job.
