Chapter 8: Night Out
The battle between Roy and Rogue was fierce, but once Rogue ran out of Mustang's powers, she could no longer produce the alchemy, so they called Roy off of her. Roy trudged back up the stairs, feeling really stupid about falling for her stupid seduction. It didn't help that Riza had a huge grin on her face that Roy knew was just for him,
"So Roy, you going to date anymore ladies from around here?" Roy ignored her and waited to see what was next,
"Well, since you haven't been out of the mansion yet, we figured we should treat you to dinner outside the mansion. We'll have our senior Xmen take you anywhere you want within reason, and we'll even take you on tours throughout the region if you want.
Of course, the FMA crew nodded their pretty little heads when the offer came. The mansion was nice and all, but were all people as crazy and innovative as the Xmen?
"So, who's going where?" Logan asked gruffly, not liking this idea. It was too much work for a little pleasure,
"Brother and I are going to the library!" Alphonse said cheerfully, "and possibly the zoo, because I heard there are big cats here!"
"And I'm going to find some liquor," Havoc mumbled, "Hopefully some cigs too," Logan knew this was the ride he would be giving,
"I will be going to show off the Armstrong's line of techniques at a martial arts center or going to a gym," everyone showed signs of tension at thinking of unleashing a monster into the population. At least he's human…
"Winry and I are going to Best Buy. Someone mentioned electric cameras, so this will be very, VERY fun!" Hughes said, and the FMA crew became worried wondering if they would ever have the peace of him at least having to develop the photos.
When they all filed out, Xavier calmly asked Mustang, "Where are you going?" he did his trademark smirk,
"I'm taking Ms. Hawkeye on a date," of course, she hadn't exactly said yes, but she hadn't said no either, "Do you think I could find a suit somewhere? I want to look nice for tonight," Xavier was taken back by his thoughtfulness, because when he read his mind, he thought he didn't do much outside of his womanizing habits, but this seemed a little over the top for him,
"Yes, and I'm assuming Hawkeye will need something too?"
"Yeah, I suppose so, do you know where we can get that quick?"
"Yes, I'll have someone shuttle you there," within five minutes, they had located some drivers, which turned out to be Scott and Jean. They were driving together so they could go to a women's store and a men's store at the same time, and help a little in the fashion sense.
Mustang had finished first because he had known exactly what he wanted, and Scott had nothing to complain about in the outfit because it was very snazzy indeed. Sure, he would have never worn something like this with any of his other girlfriends. Of course none of them were Riza Hawkeye. He had also known what he wanted because he was going to have Fullmetal ask Hawkeye out for him, before Kurt had teleported them here.
Scott also bought a suit with the Professor's money to impress Jean. He figured that they had to make sure nothing hurt them; they might as well go to the restaurant themselves.
Pretty soon, Jean and Riza had come back from the dress shop with their pretty dresses. Jean had contacted Scott with her telepathic powers to see what he wanted to do while they watched Mustang and Riza. Of course, she liked the idea of them going out to dinner also, so she also bought a dress.
Since Jean was driving, Scott went to the front of the car they were driving while Riza was already in the back and Roy went into the back to accompany her,
"You look…" Roy was having difficult finding words to describe it, and Riza was just looking at him like he was crazy, "breathtaking," he thought she was the prettiest date he had ever had. Her hair was down and her dress was the color of her eyes, which he loved from the moment he saw them in his office,
"Thank you, you don't look too bad yourself, Colonel," Roy replied,
"I'm not the Colonel tonight, call me Roy," she sat there silently for a moment,
"So Roy, where are we going?" he gulped,
"You'll just have to find out for yourself," he said with a smirk, but he had just as much of a clue as her. They ended up at some fancy restaurant, and from the beginning, Roy had started with his womanizing habits, which Riza had almost found attractive, so she went along with it.
He had politely ordered for her something that she had never of before, but found it delightful. He had picked out everything for their meal from the appetizers to the desserts, and Riza liked everything. She was having the evening of her life, but didn't care to admit it.
Jean had taught Roy how to signal her, and he had sent her several signals for various items such as jewelry, roses, and other dating necessities for someone like Roy. Jean asked him mentally how he was going to pay for it, he politely said, he would take care of it later. Secretly, Jean was jealous of Riza getting so much attention in one date. Scott had never been that over the top on any of their dates.
"Riza, you know when Ed came into your office before Nightcrawler teleported us here?"
"Yes, I was wondering about that…"
"He was in there because of me,"
"He mentioned that, what does it have to do with it on this date?" Roy gave his most heartfelt smile,
"I wanted to ask you out on a date."
Meanwhile, Forge had taken Winry and Hughes to the local Best Buy, and was truly regretting it. The only reason he had agreed to it was because he wanted to buy the last season of the Brady Bunch, which he had never gotten to see. Although Winry was fun to talk to, it was quite hard to explain to her about each thing she saw, and trying to not let her dismantle everything she saw.
Hughes was having fun with digital photography and was taking pictures of his pictures with his new camera that the professor let him buy. Winry wanted to buy everything in sight, but she ended up buying some simple items like a television she couldn't wait to dissect. Forge figured he'd buy a few other DVD's for himself, and to stop somewhere for some Tylenol. He really needed it.
Over at the local bar, it looked like a tornado had gone through it on the account of two people. Witnesses that day believe they saw a game of pool that went all wrong when a man who should not be in a bar at anytime accidentally shot the cue ball off the table, and had hit a grumpy biker and broke his favorite pair of shades. All hell broke loose when the man had Havoc five inches off the ground against the wall. Logan lost it and went to save Havoc, when it became an all out fight in the bar, with everyone it versus Logan. Honestly, it wasn't much of a contest, but Logan had to gripe at finding a new bar now because of Havoc. Havoc however; found a new love in Logan for saving his life.
Rogue had bused Edward and Alphonse to the local library. She was hoping they would read silently for a couple of hours and they could go home. Like the other Xmen, this was not a fun time for her either. After fifteen minutes of searching, they could find nothing about alchemy in the library. When she politely showed the boys the computer and the wonders of the internet, they were on a surfing spree. Rogue was forced to do all the typing because Ed couldn't type, and Alphonse was getting glares from the librarian because he clanged in between the narrow bookcases. Rogue had to scroll continually in order to make Ed happy.
After FIVE hours in the library, Alphonse suggested calling it quits to go to the zoo. However, Rogue wasn't going to put up with the two at the zoo, because they would have made a scene. She had had enough of them for the day, and said that they could look up more alchemy on the internet from the mansion, and they could find another poor soul to type for them who was faster than herself. This quieted the boys down, and they left to go back to the mansion.
The last member, Armstrong, was going to go the gym, when Beast had adverted a potential crisis, by keeping Armstrong company in the mansion's weight room (I don't know if they actually have one, but can you imagine the chaos of Armstrong in a public gym room? XD) talking about philosophy. Beast had probably found out about too many Armstrong traditions, but he didn't mind it too much. After Armstrong got tired of lifting, Beast proposed sparring outside. Armstrong liked the idea, since they had similar stature, and they were both pretty agile, with power to boot. It was so evenly matched, that neither had advantage on the other. They both called it quits after they both had barely enough energy to stand.
Author's Note: Man, it's been three months 0.o!!! I finally updated due to all the comments asking me to update. Each time someone sent one, I'd add a paragraph or so, and so this chapter is very choppy. I've realized that my story in the beginning was very OOC for many of the characters. Now that I've gotten farther, I've gotten a little bit better about it. It hasn't helped that I haven't watched FMA for the longest time, but I'm still on a mission to finish this story, since there are so many people still reading it!
