GRAMMERS NOTE: no speel check :P
Teh Queen: Oh boredom strike again, and here is the result, another FMA fic. Random randm random.
Teh Slave: Don't forget bad.
Teh Queen: oh yes, that too, but please at least tell me what you think, the idea of the plot doesn't come in till a bit later
"So we're telling them we're going to see teacher, and we don't want to do anything dangerous anymore and we're going to try and find another way?"
"Yep."
"Do you think they'll buy it?"
"We have to try."
Ed pulled his boots on as his brother questioned his plans from the other side of the hospital room.
"Depends if we get given another mission or orders or something like that." Al poined out to Ed who was set on going to Ishbal instead to Dublin like they were gong to tell Mustang. There was a knock at the door.
"Show time." Ed muttered putting on a sickeningly innocent face as he called to the Colonel to come in.
"Good to see you are both well again, now, I have a mission for you." Mustang said, not looking up from the clipboard he was holding. Al decided this was a good thing as he could see Ed's eye twitching in annoyance.
"Is that so colonel, what if I say we had plans?" Ed replied trying to get himself out of the situation.
"Then I would say whatever it is can be put on hold unless it is related to the rebels in a small town called Thine." Mustang handed the clipboard to Ed who narrowed his eyes at it in hatred. "You have to inspect the base there, and be sure there is no corruption in the military stationed there. The reason I'm sending you is because you're their superior and most of the other people I could have sent are wrapped up in the case of lab 5, and besides, you worked wonders in that town Youswell didn't you?" Mustang smiled snidely as he left the room, leaving an agitated Ed.
"Who does he think he-" Ed started before the colonel poked his head back into the room.
"Almost forgot, there will be a young lady by the name of Effie Heyman from investigations going with you to investigate the rumors of an uprising in Thine and accompanying towns, so don't you boys cause too much trouble." Mustang left once again, and this time Ed waited a few seconds before going on his silent rampage.
"I say we don't do it, we just go to Ishbal anyway." Ed plotted walking back and fourth across the room.
"I say we just get it over and done with, we don't want to get into trouble when we want our going to Ishbal to be quiet." AL was always more rational than his brother, Ed knew this, but didn't like to admit it much. Giving up, Ed raised his hand in surrender.
"Fine, that Heyman woman is probably waiting for us." He pouted walking briskly from the room. Al sighed and followed. After much cursing and pouting about how unreasonable the colonel is, Ed found himself at the station, and Al, who had just been silent for there had been no point in trying to reason started looking around for this Effie Heyman.
"She probably got caught up on her way here." Al suggested.
"The nerve of the woman! Taking up the mission and then showing up late, at this rate we'll miss the train." Ed took a seat at a nearby bench looking down the tracks for the train.
"Oh settle down, and calling me 'woman' makes me sound old." A voice came from under Ed's nose.
Ed looked down to see a girl in her later teens, possibly early twenties looking up at her from the ground. "I've been here for quite a while now." She wasn't looking at them, but rather occupied with the pen she was balancing on her nose. It was almost strange to see someone older than themselves in a military uniform sitting on the ground balancing a pen on their nose.
"You must be Miss Heyman then, hello, my name is Alphonse Elric." Al said politely, nodding in greeting.
Effie put the pen back in her pocket and raised to her feet.
"Pleasure to meet you, and who might you be short stuff?" She said bending and looking Ed in the eye and he sat on the bench. Ed's eye started twitching again, and he had not been obliged to get along with her, he would have given Miss Heyman a piece of his mind.
"Edward Elric, the Fullmetal Alchemist to you, and this is our train." Ed rose stiffly and boarded the train, leaving Al and Effie on the platform.
"Well, he's rather short tempered isn't he?" Effie mentioned as she and Al both got on the train.
"He just doesn't like being called short, don't worry about it Miss Heyman."
"Just call me Effie."
They found Ed in the second carriage staring out the window in annoyance. Effie sighed and skipped upto him.
"Sorry, I guess we got off on the wrong foot, I'm Effie Heyman, please, just call me Effie." Effie held out her hand, and Ed accepted deciding to at least try to get to know the person he had to work with.
Teh Queen: So, chapter numero uno is done with if you don't like it, screw you all! Mwahaha!
Teh Slave: Malicious queen...
