Trisha and Alphonse were playing right beside the pool.
Ed and May were watching them, so that they didn't accidently hurt themselves.
Ed was twenty shades of pissed off, that the Rockbell girl hadn't seemed to give up. If he didn't see her again, it would be too soon.
Wary of the children, he attempted to not cuss, as he told May about the encounter.
May looked too cheerful.
"Alphonse will be happy that you finally found someone." May told him.
May's son looked over, briefly, before deciding that May wasn't talking about him.
"I don't like her like that! She's annoying, that's all." Edward tried to explain to his sister-in-law.
"This is the first time that you have ever mentioned a girl." May said, gleefully, choosing to ignore Ed's reasoning.
"Damn it, May!" Ed growled.
May squealed, "Can I be your maid of honor?"
"No, because there will be no wedding!" Ed retorted.
"Aw... Does that mean that you're eloping?" May pouted.
"I don't love her; I don't even know her name!" Ed growled.
"You should always get your wife to be's name." May informed him.
"I am not marrying her!" Ed ground out.
"Why not?" May asked, tears starting to fill up her eyes.
"I don't know her." Ed told May.
"That's easy; get to know her." May exclaimed, perking up, instantly.
"I don't want to marry her!" Ed growled.
May asked, "She's that pretty blond that I saw before I left, right?"
"No! I mean yes she's the blond." Ed answered.
"Alright, then. Is she pretty?" May asked, mischieviously.
"You saw her." Ed mumbled.
"I'm not you, though." May told him.
"Yeah, you aren't." Ed grumbled.
"So, I see her differently." May informed Ed.
"You have eyes; you saw her." Ed grumbled.
"Is she pretty?" May asked, excitedly.
Ed groaned, and rolled his eyes.
"Do you ever shut up?" Ed asked May in frustration.
"Then, she is pretty." May squealed.
"I didn't say that!" Ed all, but shouted.
"Do you really think she's ugly, then?" May inquired.
"No, I don't." Ed grumbled in irritation.
"Yay! You think that she's pretty!" May cheered.
"Why does it matter to you?" Ed grumbled.
Sometimes, he didn't know why he bothered, May was still annoying, and persistent in being that way, too.
"I worry about you, sometimes." May told Ed, still sounding remarkably cheerful.
"Why?" Ed asked her.
"You haven't socialized with anyone, since Alphonse's death, and even before then you never took an interest in anyone before." May told Ed, sounding much more reserved, and even a little sad.
"I don't even like this girl!" Ed exclaimed.
"Did you say that she's an Automail mechanic?" May inquired, curiously.
"Yes, she's an Automail freak." Ed answered, glumly.
"The two of you would make the perfect couple, aside from me and Alphonse." May answered, gleefully.
"A mechanic and a singer, A song writer and an ex-heiress. Are you nuts, May?" Ed retorted.
"Nope! Oh, Ed. You shouldn't call your future wife a freak." May chastised him, smugly.
"I'm not going to marry her!" Ed yelled, causing May to giggle.
"Laugh it up," Ed stated, sarcastically. "My life is not a joke!"
"It seems pretty funny to me!" May announced.
Ed slapped her with his Automail hand.
"Don't hit me!" Cried May.
"You deserved it!" Growled Ed.
