Wrath looks down at his school lunch
Wrath: Mom packed me a lunch, but Envy stole it….

Al: Right, he stole my lunch money last week too. Well actually Greed took it, then Envy spent it….
Envy sits down with a large packed lunch
Wrath: Wha'd Ma pack?
Envy: Do you ever speak incomplete sentences?
Wrath: Not really.
Envy shrugs and opens his-… Wrath's lunch
Envy (mouthful): So where's pipsqueak, pipsqueak's brother?
Al: He has second lunch today, but we have next class together next.
Wrath looks at Envy's bag of potato chips
Wrath: Envy what's with those potato chips Envy? They're all red.
Envy: Huh? Oh, they're spicy.
Wrath: Spicy! Gimme!
Envy: No way they're mine!
Wrath: Come on! Please?
Envy: Not a chance!
Wrath: I'll tell Dante you were mean to me!
Envy: *pout* …Want a chip?
Wrath: Thanks!
Envy offers bag to Al
Envy: Want one?
Al: No thanks. I can't handle spicy things.
Envy: *evil smile*
Envy: Here take one! (puts potato chips in front of Al's face)
Al: Didn't ya hear me? I can't eat spicy food, you should really listen when someone's telling you something.
Envy: Oh it's okay, these are really good for you, they make you grow taller.
Al: Really? Maybe I should give a few to Brother.
Al takes bag of chips
Envy: But you probably want to test one, just to make sure it's not… poisoned or anything.
Wrath: …?
Al: Oh you're right, Brother would never forgive me if he got poisoned.
Al eats chip
Wrath: …? Um, Al?
Al: … (sticks tongue out) … h-hot….
Envy: *smirk*
Al: …….. AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wrath: It kinda is Envy.
Ed walks up behind them
Ed: Envy.
Envy: Ed.
Ed and Envy: *glare*
Envy: You know if one more suspension didn't mean expulsion you'd already be stuffed in a locker.
Ed: Funny I was thinking the same thing.
Al: Hi Brother.
Ed: Hey, ready for music after break?
Al: Yep, I- hic!
Ed: …?
Envy: …!
Wrath: …?
Al: hic!
Ed: What's this now? Got hiccups?
Wrath: I bet it's 'cause you ate all that spicy stuff.
Ed: You ate something spicy?
Al points at Envy
Al: They're hic! gonna make you taller.

Ed: *shrug* It's true.
Cup of water fills up in the machine
Al takes it and drinks some
Everyone waits
Al: …. hic!
Ed: Those are some stubborn hiccups.
Wrath (said thoughtfully): I heard it was good to drink water with your nose plugged.
Envy: Actually I heard it was your ears.
Ed: Let's try 'em both!
Ed covers Al's ears and Al pinches his nose
Wrath: Ready?
Al (nasally): hic! Yep.
Al drinks water
All wait
Ed: Are ya cured?
Al: No way to tell for sure….
Envy: ….
Wrath: ….
Ed: ….
Al: … hic!
Envy: Nope.
Ed: Wait I know!
Ed begins rummaging through his bag and pulls out a set of chopsticks
Wrath: …Why do you have chopsticks Edward?
Ed: This is a Japanese anime, is it not?
All look toward camera
Envy: …Awkward.
Ed: Now balance the cup on these and drink from it.
Wrath: Ya sure?
Ed: Nope! Give it a try.
Al: Okay. hic!
Takes chopsticks and tries to balance the cup
Hiccups and drops the cup
… Fail

English class:
Wrath looks over at Al
Al: hic! hic! hic!
Izumi drags chalk down the black board in irritation
Izumi: Knock it off Alphonse!!!
Homeroom:
Wrath and Envy stand around Al scratching their heads
Ed runs in
Ed: Hey! Time to go home!
Al: hic! hic!
Ed: Huh? Still have your hiccups?
Al: hic! Yeah, hic!
Ed: This means it's been going on for over two hours.
Envy: Can't ya die if you have hiccups for over a day?
Al: Die?! hic!
Wrath jumps up
Wrath: Al, please be afraid! Be very afraid! (begins screaming and flailing his arms)
Al: Sorry, hic! but that's not scaring me hic! one bit.
Envy smacks Al on the back as hard as he possibly can
Ed and Wrath: …?!
Envy (still slapping Al on the back): I heard if you smack someone on the back really hard it'll get rid of hiccups!
Wrath: Isn't that for choking?
Envy: *pause* Oh… yeah sorry about that….
Al: That was mean! hic!
Wrath: Don't hiccups happen 'cause something's, like shaking?
Ed: Yeah, spasms in the diaphragm.
Al: Where's hic! that?
Ed: Right below the lungs.
Envy: Right here! (punches Al in the stomach)
Al: …. (falls out of chair onto the floor)
Ed: H-hey! That the solar plexus!
Wrath: Isn't that a vital point on the human body?
Envy: Huh?
All watch Al, still lying on floor
Envy: A-are ya cured?
Al stands up
Al: … hic!
Envy: No good, huh?
Al shakes head
Lin passes through
Lin: Hi guys.
Al: Hi- hic!
Lin: Hiccups?
Al: Ye-hic!-ah.
Lin: You can cure it by brewing persimmons and drinking the tea.
Ed: That's just folklore.
Al: We don't hic! have any hic! persimmons anyway.
Lin: Then try holding your breath for a while.
Wrath: Okay ready, start!
Al holds breath
Lin: Now apply pressure to the eyeballs.
Envy holds done Al's eyelids
Al: Ow! Ow! Ow!
Lin: Now pull his tongue.
Ed pulls Al's tongue
Several minutes later
Al: hic!
Envy: Anything else?
Lin: Let me think… give it to someone else?
Ed: This is starting to sound a bit unscientific.
Al continues hiccupping while staring into space
Envy: What're you looking at?
Al: Dunno- hic!
Lin: If he's not getting any better it could be he's really sick.
Al: I don't feel sick.
Lin: You might wanna have that checked out.
Ed: Sick? With what?
Lin: Like… the brain.
Al: The brain?!
Ed and Envy: Oooooh….
Al: What'd ya mean?
Envy: It's because your brain might have a few problems.
Al: Like what?
Ed: Well you are a little… slow, at times….
Al: Are you talking about symptoms?
Ed: Not really symptoms… just… um?
Envy: The fact that he's not aware of the symptoms himself is sorta a symptom itself, ya know?
Al: What's that supposed to mean?!
Wrath (blankly staring at Al): Al… your hiccups are gone.
All pause
Al: Wow! I guess you're right! I must be cured! It's happily ever after!
Ed: Wonder what it was that stopped 'em.
Wrath: Beats me- hic!
Al: I gave my hiccups to Wrath!
Lin: Back to square one.
Wrath: hic! hic!
Ed: What came first?
Envy: Smack him on the back and punch him in the solar plexus.
Wrath: hic! Hold on! hic!
Envy: Man I'm gonna enjoy this!
