It was the end of the school week and three alchemists had worked their hardest to win the wager. By Thursday Roy Mustang had resorted to stripping, which amused Ed. The Host Club and Edward, Alphonse and Roy stood in front of Kyoya. The dark haired boy pushed up his glasses and looked at the crown in front of him, they were all dying to hear who the winner was. Kyoya looked down at the clipboard.
"In first place is Alphonse Elric, who was seen by a total of 52 guests throughout the week." Kyoya said.
Everyone clapped and Alphonse blushed, he wasn't used to being the centre of attention.
"congratulations Alphonse." Tamaki said
"Well done Al." Haruhi said
"Well done!" Honey chimed
"Well done brother!" Ed said, punching his younger brother's arm.
"Thanks Ed." Al responded shyly.
"This is certainly interesting." Kyoya commented.
"What is Kyoya Senpai?" Haruhi asked
"The wager was that the loser has to wear a mini skirt? Is that correct?" Kyoya asked Roy Mustang
"Yes." Roy said with a nod.
"Well in that case . . ." Kyoya said.
"Tell us!" the Twins begged
"In joint second place is Roy Mustang . . ." Kyoya said
Roy's face fell, how he could lose? Ed beamed, "I guess that means . . ." he went to say
"And Edward Elric." Kyoya finished "You came joint in numbers, both getting 46 guests overall."
Ed's jaw dropped "But that. . . that." Ed stuttered "That can't be right?" Ed queried
"Kyoya is never wrong when it comes to figures." Tamaki told them. Kyoya smiled at the blond haired prince.
"Let me see that! I need proof!" Ed demanded
Kyoya shrugged and suddenly the light went off and a screen came down. On the screen was a graph showing the day by day numbers for the alchemists.
"As you can see, Ed, you started out the most popular, but your popularity died down as the week went on." Kyoya said
"Ha!" Roy said. Ed stuck his tongue at him.
"Roy on the other hand, started out as the least popular of the threesome, but by the end of the week, had become the most popular." Kyoya explained. "And Alphonse you were consistent throughout the week, congratulations." The dark haired boy said with a nod at Al. Alphonse smiled and nodded back.
The lights came back on and the screen slowly rolled up.
"I can't believe I lost." Ed pouted.
"It's ok brother, you were joint second with Colonel Mustang," Alphonse pointed out to Ed. "No offense Colonel." Al addressed Roy.
"None taken." Roy said with a nod. They smiled at each other.
Tamaki appeared forward with a flourish. "The winner is Alphonse Elric. The forfeit is to be completed by Roy Mustang and Edward Elric." He announced.
Ed growled, his eyes black with anger.
"What's the problem, pipsqueak. Scared the skirt won't suit you?" Roy asked with a laugh.
"DID YOU JUST CALL ME SHORT! DON'T CALL ME A PIPSQUEK, I'M STILL GROWING!" Ed yelled at the Colonel.
Roy smiled smugly at the younger boy. There were eye to eye and a fight would break out any moment. The tension could be cut with a knife.
Suddenly the twins swung through. They pushed something into Ed's and Roy's chests. They looked down at what the Twins had handed them; it was a black mini shirt.
"To match the school uniform." Tamaki explained.
"Go to the shower rooms to change." Kyoya instructed "Haruhi will show you where they are." He said
Tamaki handed Haruhi a mini skirt. She threw it on the ground "NO WAY IN HELL, SENPAI!" She yelled
"But it would suit you." Kaoru said
"We chose the colour especially for you." Hikaru said
"No!" Haruhi yelled at the Twins.
She bristled and turned away from her Senpia's.
She took a breath and calmed herself down. "Follow me." She said politely to Roy and Ed.
Haruhi walked out of the host club and they followed her, slightly confused. Why would they want to put Haruhi in a skirt, it's not like she was part of their wager, or a girl?
