Ed was angry. Even more than before. He had just visited Mustang, who he swore knew every way under the sun to piss him off.

"Geez, the man should write a book," Ed complained. "And he should call it, 'How to tick of Fullmetal.'"

Al sighed. Ed was always in a bad mood when he reported to Mustang. ALWAYS. But he supposed that was in part the Colonel's fault. He just wouldn't let Ed alone about his height. But Ed shouldn't let those things get to him.

"Brother," Al said. "Please, try to cool off. It's not a big deal. Don't make such a fuss over tiny things."

"TINY!" Ed bellowed. "IT'S NOT TINY TO ME!"

"Ok, ok," Al said holding up his hands, defeated. He decided it was probably a good time to change the subject. "So, what should we do now?"

"I dunno. We've read every Alchemy book in the library already, the trains aren't running today, and we have no missions."

"There's a park near here, isn't there?"

"Yeah, I think so."

"Let's go there then. Please?" Al pleaded. Despite clanking around in the armour all the time, he still enjoyed such small things, and he wanted to see the birds.

He laughed. Al could be such a kid sometimes. "Ok, let's go."

"YAY!" Al jumped up roughly two inches and darted off in the direction of the park.

Ed's eyes widened. All these years, Al had complained that Ed ran too fast, but here he was, going like, 50 MPH on foot, inthe 25 MPH road that led to the Eastern HQ building.

"What the hell! Al! Get back here!" he bellowed as he too broke out into a run.

But Al was already at the park, laughing and looking at the garden. It was these kind of days when things seemed so simple, like nothing really mattered. He swore that he could almost feel the warmth of the sun as it beat down on the mid afternoon day.

"Look, brother!" Al chimed indicating the flowers when Ed finally reached the park. "Aren't the pretty?"

Exhausted, Ed plopped on the ground, breathing heavily and laughed. "Yeah, Al. They're sure something."

"Kinda like what mom used to grow, ne?"

"Yeah, I suppose. I don't remember her gardens much anymore."

Then, as luck would have it, Roy wandered into the park, spotting Fullmetal, and giving his usual smirk.

"Even the flowers look taller than you, Fullmetal," he said arrogantly.

"Damn it, Roy! Where do you get this stuff, anyways?"

"This book I wrote. 'How to tick off Fullmetal'"

"I seriously hate you," Ed spat acidly.

"I hate you too, Fullmetal. You waste too much government money breaking things. Have some consideratoin as to where that money comes from, would you?"

"No! I just do what you tell me to do and things end up broken. So too bad!"

Roy sighed. Fullmetal was a hotheaded idiot.

"Fine. Just stop making me file reports to pay for your damage."

Ed tackled Roy, chewing on his arm.

"I know you're a dog of the military, Fullmetal, but you don't have to make it literal," Roy said with a grin.

Realizing the situation, he jumpe off Roy and slammed him in the head. "Geez, Roy. You know how to make a guy's day."

"Thanks, I thought I did well."

"Go away."

"Do me a favor Fullmetal, would you?" Roy asked innocently.

"What?"

"See, there's this gift I want to give Riza," he said holding up a small bag. "But I'm rather busy right now. Would you mind going to her house and delivering it to her?"

He blinked. What was Roy planning this time?

"Sure. What's in the bag?" he asked, taking it from Roy.

"A secret. You're not permitted to open it. Understand?"

"Whatever."

"Good. Alphonse, I trust you will make sure he doesn't open it?"

"Will do," Al replied with a playfull salute.

"Good. Then there's just one more thing. Ed, you are not to tell her it's from me."

"Why?" Ed asked suspiciously.

"Because I said so."

Ed scoffed and left the park with Al close behind.


"What do you suppose is in it?" Ed asked his brother, regarding the bag.

"I dunno, I suppose we'll find out soon."

After walking along for about ten minutes, the Elric brothers reached Riza Hawkeye's house and knocked on the door. She came after a couple of minutes with a bathrobe on and a towel over her hair.

"Yes?" she asked dully.

"This is for you," Ed said holding up the bag.

She opened it and took out...a pink, lace fringed miniskirt.

"Is this an idea of a joke for you boys?" she demanded.

"No I- Mustang...he...and you...gah!"

Ed was interrupted by the couch being flown into his face.

Almost as if on cue, Roy walked past, laughing.

"You should watching what you give to a woman, Fullmetal!"

"Damn you, Mustang!" came Ed's muffled voice.

And with that, Ed decided that today was the day that Mustang was going to regret.


ok, this was completely random! Please don't kill me! I had nothing to do today, so I cam eand started writing. Don't kill me if it sucks/).(\
