Chapter 2: A Boyfriend For Hazel? Prince Charming, Maybe?
There they stood, right there in the doorway. Hazel thought that she was looking at a prince he was so handsome! Wow, what a coincidence that a stranger would just ring the doorbell and she would answer it to have someone so handsome standing in the doorway! She had forgotten the fact that she knew this boy because he had looked so familiar. The happy moment ended when he spoke after a couple of seconds that went by as she was still in the doorway staring at him.
"What the hell? What, are you just gonna stand there or move out of the way so I can come in?" he said with a grin and Hazel's face darkened, flames in the backround. Okay, so...not romantic moment. Especially after that kind of insult! What was she, a little kid? Or a woman? She could come up with a comeback easy as that!
"Well...your mom." she said. The boy gave her a questioning look while raising a brow.
"...What about my mom?" he asked sounding a little annoyed, and she blushed. 'Oh, right... This is Fullmetal world and modern day insults don't really take its toll here! Goodness I just made a fool out of myself! And worse!! I just insulted his mother!' Hazel thought as streams of tears rushed down her chibi face in her mind, and finally, slapped herself mentally.
"Oh uh...nevermind, forget it." she said with a sigh and then realized he pushed her out of the way!
"H-hey!" Hazel cried, outraged. She could hear the boy sigh and then turn around irritated.
"What is it now?" he asked rudely.
"Listen up bub, don't you dare treat me like a little kid all right?! And don't you dare treat me like some person you can just spit on and stuff! I have you know I'm the famous Bullseye Alchemist, and if I wanted to I could shoot your head off right now!" Hazel warned. At this, the group in the family room heard this and went to investigate on what was going on.
"Oh really? Well if you did that then where would that put you? Let's see now...hm, treason. Murder, what else... Jail perhaps? Maybe a sentence for death?" he countered and she blushed and flamed.
"WELL I NEVER MET AN INSOLENT BRATTY FIGISMUCKING BOY LIKE YOU! DIDN'T YOUR PARENTS EVER TEACH YOUR MANNERS?!" Hazel steamed.
"No. Not really. I learned myself. And what the hell does Figismucking mean?" the boy asked. When Hazel didn't answer he just shrugged, and walked away. The group who were eavesdropping and peeking out in the corner as the boy walked into the kitchen. Hazel sighed loudly, and then bowed her head, gritting her teeth. Man oh man...she had never met anyone so...so arrogant! SO! SO! MALE! (a/n: nothin against you males out there reading this... don't take it offensively plz!) Suddenly, she felt someone tap her on the shoulder. She turned to see a younger boy by one age with yellow hair sort of sticking out of places. He had blue eyes as well that sparkled, and a smile that was so kawaii! She wondered if this boy was the irritating older boy's brother.
"Excuse me miss... Please excuse the rudeness of my older brother. He can get kind of frustrating sometimes...but he means well! You just..gotta know him ya know? Again, sorry for the inconvenience and all... Bye." the boy said with a bow and went to join his brother. Hazel watched with black little beady clueless eyes as the younger boy rushed over to his older brother, and saw both of them greeting Pinako happily. 'Oh so he's nice to Pinako but rude to me! What the Figismucking?! Hm..I should know though that that is Russell and Fletcher...He's supposed to be like that I guess..' Hazel thought angrily and Li-san walked over to where Hazel was. (a/n: anyone figure out what figismucking means yet? XP)
"Hey, you okay Ane-san?" Li-san asked warily as she put a hand on Hazel's shoulder. Hazel's only response was looking at Li-san and then roaring like a dragon with flames coming out of her mouth. Li-san's arm immediately turned to ashes, and Li-san backed away slowly. Hazel then sighed, and then made note to Li-san that is was all right to come over.
"I'm..all right. But dammit all that boy owes me an apology big time!" Hazel steamed.
"Don't you think you're overreacting Hazel? That and a little...'not letting it go' kinda person? I saw you checkin him out." Li-san half sneered and Hazel blushed bright red looking down at the ground.
"Shaddup! I'm gonna march over there and say to him to apologize!" Hazel said, determined.
"Oh really? Well, here's your chance. He walking over to us right now." Li-san said and gave Hazel a little push as she bumped into the guy.
Hazel squeaked a little, and then looked up at the boy who looked down at her with a very very irritated look on his face.
"NOW WHAT?" he asked angrily, ready to boil.
"I...I uh...I.." Hazel started.
"Yeah?" the boy asked, tapping his foot.
"Uhh..." Hazel tried to keep going.
"Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaah?" the boy asked, eye twitching out of aggrivation. The boy behind him seemed to sweatdrop, a pointy frown on his face. He didn't like the looks of this.
"Well I uh I--"
"Oh forget this! C'mon bro, let's get outta here." the older boy huffed and pushed out of the way, knocking Hazel out of the way slightly. That was the final straw so far for Hazel, and she immediately grabbed his arm and twirled him around to face her.
"Now hold on just a minute buster! I demand an apology!" Hazel cried, anger in her eyes.
"Apology? For what? Standing in the way in the doorway when I was wanting to get in and out of the frickin snow?!" the boy growled.
"Brother!" the younger boy cried in defense.
"Russell! Was that neccessary?!" Ed roared angrily. So Hazel's guess was right, this was Russell, except when he was 18. Hazel was silent now, she seemed to be giving up. 'Maybe I shouldnt've said anything further... He is kinda cute...' Hazel thought to herself as her lip quivered a little bit with her bangs covering her eyes. She started to shake a little.
"Hey...you...okay?" he asked her, alarmed and placed a hand on her shoulder. She immediately pulled away and slapped him hard on the face, knocking him down onto the ground.
"FIRST YOU INSULT ME, PRACTICALLY EMBARRASS ME, AND THEN YOU HAVE THE NERVE TO ASK ME IF I'M OKAY?! DOES THIS LOOK LIKE 'OKAY' TO YOU?! WELL?! DOES IT!!!!!" Hazel burst, tears running down her face as it was beet red. He blinked several times, before answering.
"Maybe you should go see a psychiatrist (sp?)." he said with his eyes narrowed, and that was all that she could take. Her lip quivered again, and then she rushed out the door slamming the door open and running into the thunderstorm. The boy got up and brushed himself up all to be pushed back down onto the ground.
"I HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY! WHAT A BASTARD YOU ARE!" Li-san shouted and then raced out after Hazel. Russell felt a vein pop as he got up.
"God...what was their problem? Especially that dirty blonde's? When I see that black haired girl again I'm gonna give her a piece of my mind." he growled under his breath, and then saw everyone stare at him with saddened and aggrivated eyes.
"Don't you think you overdid it Russell? I mean, couldn't you see that Hazel had a crush on you?" Ed said, angered and upset.
"So that's her name huh? Hmph. Not my fault she kept pressing my buttons." Russell said with a huff.
"Brother! How can you be so rude?!" Russell's younger brother said with a frown and raced off after the two girls. The group was silent for a moment, and he stared at them and finally sighed as he began to fluster slightly, scratching the back of his head guiltily.
"Hmph...Fine, fine. I'll go after them all... I guess I, did go overboard." Russell said silently, and closed the door behind him. The group stared down at the ground for a moment, and then back at the door. Lil Li made a mew, and walked over to Al as she purred. He picked her up and laughed with a smile on his face.
"You must like your present Al. A kitten is what you've always wanted. But make sure now, she's your responsibility." Winry said as she waggled a finger.
"I know I know. I'm just so happy she's back.." Al said with a smile.
"You guys must really be in love. After all this time.. By now I thought you woulda gotten yourself another girlfriend." Ed said with a slight smile on his face. He had a questioned look on for a minute when Al smiled sadly.
"Yeah...I thought about that too when I waited a long time for her to come back. I mean, I know I probably made the right decision for her...telling her she didn't belong here. I was glad she went back home... but when I was waiting for her Brother, I began to lose hope. I began to think that she would never return, she said herself that there was no alchemy on their side. Truth is, a lot of times when I went out on missions I ran into a lot of pretty ladies who wanted me as their boyfriend, and a lot of the times I wanted to say yes..." Al started and Ed couldn't help but have his mouth agape slightly.
"Except...every time I wanted to, I could always remember Li's face smiling. I couldn't get her out of my head, not once. Our bond could never break even if I went out with other girls and all... Sometimes I even wondered if she had gotten a new boyfriend and had forgotten me... The thing is, I was so surprised and amazed when I saw that same clueless and go lucky face staring blankly at mine until something hit her in the head. I was so happy when I saw her, held her in my arms again...knowing that this wasn't a dream." Al said with a happy smile.
"Oh Alphonse I..didn't know you felt like this. I mean, I knew sometimes it got harder to believe and all that they were coming back but...I didn't think that you were..such a... such a-" Ed started and stopped.
"Such a what, Brother?" Al asked with a questionable look on his face.
"Such a dog, you! You and the ladies! I didn't think you had it in you bro!" Ed joked and gave Al a knuckle sandwhich. Al couldn't help but laugh with a hearty smile. When Ed grinned his famous one that girls would just swoon over, it was Al's turn to play a joke on his dear Brother.
"True. Very true Brother, in fact I did have my heart at one time set on Winry." Al said with his eyes narrowed and a sly smile on his face, making Ed's face turne red.
"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!" Ed steamed with a loud shout.
"Kidding Brother, kidding!" Al squeaked slightly, and Ed seemed to settle slightly. Winry sweatdropped and she shrugged her shoulders.
"It's true what they say. Boys will be boys." she joked with a laugh.
Li-san searched through the storm, she seemed to be running for at least an hour now. She heard footsteps in the distance, and whirled around to see the little brother of Russell standing before her.
"I thought you could use some help." he said with a smile and Li-san smiled back. As the two walked along for a bit, Li-san stopped and wanted to get to know the boy better.
"So you're the brother of Russell huh? What's your name?" Li-san asked kindly. The boy seemed to fluster just a little bit.
"My name is Fletcher Tringham. I hope that my brother wasn't that rude... I know he can go overboard sometimes." Fletcher said guiltily.
"Ah, not your fault. I bet you anythin' this is the start to a B-E-A-U-tiful relationship!" Li-san said with a laugh as the two traveled through the storm together.
"R-really? How can you tell? Your friend seemed really mad back there." Fletcher asked, surprised.
"Trust me. I know Hazel. She might've been mad at your brother, but really underneath it all I bet you anythin' she wants him to feel guilty so he can go out and find her." Li-san pointed out as she grinned with a snicker and a snap of her finger.
"Oh..." Fletcher said and the two pressed on. As they walked, he asked, "Then why are we out here?" Li-san was silent for a moment, and a sweatdropped formed.
"Uh...no idea... hehh... Seemed like a good idea when I first ran out the door..." Li-san laughed nervously and Fletcher had a sweatdrop behind his head. Li-san laughed again, but then sighed heavily.
"Now that I think about it...Maybe I shoulda brought an extra coat with me..." she said with a sigh.
"I'm sure it's not that cold. Don't worry we'll find her before we get soaking wet." Fletcher reassured her and she nodded happily, but then squeaked when a loud crackle was heard in the sky. Lightning shot, and thunder boomed.
"Ooooooookay! Let's get goin' Fletch!" Li-san cried and practically grabbed his hand and made a run for it! She just hated Thunderstorms!
Russell growled under his breath as he came to a stop in the rain. he sighed, and panted for breath. How hard was it to find a girl probably somewhere far away? Oh yeah...VERY HARD. 'Damnit all... Why did I become the bad guy? Hmph...to make matters worse I'm getting soaked to the bone..' Russell thought to himself with his eyes narrowed, and then blinked a couple of times when he noticed a shadowy figure beside a tree, crouching down low with the person's back to the tree.
He trudged over to the shadow, and placed his hand on the person's shadow, making the teen jump with a start as aqua-green eyes stared into crystal blue ones. His mouth opened slightly out of surprise, and then he sighed with guilty eyes staring at the snow. The teen blinked a couple of times, and then sniffed once to make his attention focus back on her.
As Fletcher and Li-san still basically ran through the rain, they had no luck in finding Hazel. Still, they didn't give up at all and continued their pursuit.
"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZEEEEEEEEEEEEEL!" Li-san shouted for about 20 seconds, and Fletcher's eyes were bulged slightly.
"How can you do that?! It's...It's not normal!" Fletcher couldn't help but cry in astonishment. Li-san, not hearing his question before, took in another deep breath and then shouted loudly, "HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEL!" When she turned to Fletcher, he seemed pretty pale and deaf by the time she noticed.
"Huh? Fletcher? Didja say something? I didn' hear you." Li-san said innocently and Fletcher let out a looooong sigh.
"How can you yell that loudly, and that long?! It's not possible!" Fletcher asked. Li-san couldn't help but blush out of embarrassment and out of the somewhat, compliment.
"Trust me Fletch, it takes lots of practice with the lungs I got." Li-san couldn't help but brag, but then coughed slightly as Fletcher gave her a pat on the back.
"Hey are you okay?!" Fletcher asked in alarm. Li-san took in another deep breath, and nodded happily.
"Yup yup! No worries it's just my asthma." Li-san said as she waved her hands up and down. Fletcher turned pale by now, and ran around her in circles.
"ASTHMA?! WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO NOW?! DON'T YOU KNOW IT'S BAD FOR PEOPLE WITH ASTHMA TO BE OUT IN A RAINSTORM, NO. THUNDERSTORMLIKE THIS?! WHAT ARE YOU CRAZY?! DON'T YOU HAVE AN INHALER OR SOMETHING WITH YOU SO YOU DON'T HAVE A HEART ATTACK?! WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME THIS SOONER!!!" Fletcher cried and Li-san grabbed a hold of him, a lone sweatdrop ran down her head.
"Fletch, reeeeeelaaaaaaaaaaaaax. I'm perfectly fine. Now c'mon we still need to find Hazel." Li-san said, her eyes narrowed slightly with dark lines under her eye.
"O...okay... Sorry for spazzing out like that.." Fletcher said with a sweatdrop. As the two continued their search, they wondered how far they must have been since it was getting hard to see by the minute as the storm began to pick up. When they finally were both out of breath, they looked around to try and see if they could spot anything that looked like civilization. When there was no luck, with a sigh Li-san turned around the Fletcher and he stared at her with a blank stare.
"So um...wanna go back?" Li-san asked. Fletcher felt like his dream had come true, they were finally going back to the Rockbells! Besides, if they had no luck he was sure his brother would be all right in finding Hazel, if Li-san's hunch about the two being in love was correct.
"O-okay! Yeah let's go!" Fletcher cried, and then his eyes went blank with a strange smile on his face. He then frowned slightly, going into a chibi form of a sad pose.
"But uh...Li which way did we come?.." Fletcher asked.
"Uhhh...I don't know I just ran... but uh, Oh yeah Th-this way!" Li-san cried and they trudged back to, hopefully, where the Rockbell's house was. Along the way, Fletcher stopped and sneezed, his cheeks starting to fluster. Li-san walked over to Fletcher, and put a hand on his forehead, and at this he grew even more red! He really liked Li the first time he had seen her at the Rockbell's house... Was it strange to have a crush on a girl who was two years older than he was? He wasn't sure, but if she was single he'd ask her out any time!
"Fletcher! You're really burning up! Hey did you like, catch it already in this rainstorm?! We'd better get out of it, fast! Come to think of it, we're already soaked to the bone as it is!" Li-san said and took Fletcher by the hand, rushing around the snow with him following behind. In a while, they found a house with lights lit up.
"Li-san! That must be the Rockbell's house! Let's go before I start to--to---ah---achoo!" Fletcher started and stopped with a sneeze.
"Yeah you're right. Hm.. To be honest any house would be fine! Besides I lost my sense of direction a long time ago! We'd better get there fast to tend to your cold. It's bad luck to have a cold on Christmas Eve after all." Li-san joked and they rushed over to the house. When they got closer, they realized that it was a different house. Now they clearly didn't know where they were.
"Now what do we do Li?" Fletcher asked, uncertain of what would happen next.
"Hm...Only one way to find out." Li-san said and knocked on the door. They waited for a while, and when the door opened an elderly man looked up at them and smiled.
"My my, visitors. What can I do for you fine young kids? It must be very cold outside, do come in come in." he said with a smile and they accepted happily. When they came inside, they looked around in silence slightly. They saw many doctor equipment in cabinents, and both assumed he was a doctor. It didn't take the man long to come back, and when he did Li-san raised a hand up in the air.
"Yes dear? What is it? You don't need to raise your hand, I mean, I'm pretty sure you're not still in school heheh." the old man chuckled slightly.
"Sir, I don't mean to be rude but are you a doctor perhaps? My friend has a major cold and I just want it to be taken of.." Li-san asked.
"Heheheh. Just so happens that I am a doctor miss. My name is Doctor Anderson Velshtien, but you can just call me Dr. Velshtien, also known as the Healing Alchemist." he said with a smile.
"You're an alchemist?! So am I! I'm known as the SoulFire Alchemist!" Li-san cried happily. Dr. Velshtien couldn't help but smile.
"Marvelous! Well, I used to be a state alchemist back in my day but, I'm a little bit preoccupied at the moment." Dr. Velshtien said with a smile. Li-san could sort of tell, she guessed that he was...hmmm, around 55 perhaps? Still, they were in luck...a little bit too much luck maybe? The next thing Li knew she was raising her hand up in the air remembering that probably by now if Hazel was found, they were worried about her and Fletcher.
"Yes my dear? I told you you don't have to raise your hand. Though at my age I'm sure it's respectful, still, what is it?" Dr. Velshtien asked.
"Oh ahahha... Doctor, do you have a phone?" Li-san asked right after she shot her hand back down to her side with Fletcher giggling a little.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Russell's blue eyes met those of Hazel's once more, and she immediately stood up. 'I'm not letting you get away from me this time.' he thought and grabbed her arm in an attempt to make her stand still without any struggling.
"Let me go! I can report you for abuse you know!" Hazel roared and tried to slap him but had no luck. As her hand struck, Russell caught it and now she felt like she had become a prisoner to him.
"Just listen to me for a moment will ya?!" Russell countered but Hazel didn't listen. She didn't want to listen to him anymore. Somehow she felt that he would just give out insults.
"Why should I listen to you?! Smartasses like yourselves always have time to criticize and insult others who aren't in their rank! You really think after all of those torturous insults back there I'd really listen to what you'd have to sa-" Hazel started but her eyes went wide as all of a sudden Russell's lips pressed against hers as he gave her a kiss. She began to accept and let his tongue dance with hers, but then stopped herself mentally with a slap and then physically pushed him away immediately right after. He stared at her, his facial expression was calm and collected.
"Listen to me for a moment, please." he pleaded and Hazel felt half guilty by then. She nodded, and he smiled.
"I uh...I'm sorry about all of that ruccuss back there. I didn't really mean any of those hurtful things I was saying to you. That's just...how I am sometimes you know? Once I get started it's...hard for me to stop I guess... I'm sorry. Do you forgive me, Hazel?" he asked her. She blinked a couple of times, and then blushed.
"I..I...yeah, I forgive you, Russell." Hazel said with a smile and grinned.
When Hazel least expected it, Russell pulled her closer to him. She was a little surprised for a moment, but let him do all of the talking. He wrapped his arms around her waist, and pulled him even closer to his chest. She could feel he was strong indeed, and wrapped her arms around his waist, waiting for his invitation. He removed one arm from her waist, and brought his hand to her chin. He drew her closer to his lips, and she could feel herself receive goosebumps just waiting for this kiss! She closed her eyes slowly, and watched as he did the same. All at once, their lips met, and colors of love flew. Hazel felt like she was burning up! Filled with excitement made herself want more of him in this kiss, and she made sure they locked on to eachother for a while. A few moments passed, and finally the two broke away. Russell was blushing like no tommorow now as he put his hand behind his head sheepishly, and Hazel had to look at the white snow to try and calm down and make herself cool and collected. When the two were finally settled, they looked at one another and the backround seemed to become just plain pink. (a/n: anyone besides me think it's now officially more than love? -smirks- i hope hazel likes how i did that scene, i tried my best! now if i can do better than that for a love scene with al and li... -snickers and smirks-)
"Well uh...um, wow. I've...never really... Wow." was all Russell could say really.
"Ha... Yeah I know, right? So umm...Russell... You-...You're ah..." Hazel started but couldn't find the right words.
"Huh? I'm...what?" Russell asked with a grin on his face.
"A uh...Good kisser... and um, well uh... just...amazing haha.." Hazel said. 'That was so stupid of me...Good kisser? Come on Hazel you coulda said something more romantic than that!' Hazel thought to herself as she smacked herself mentally. She looked at him and he started to laugh.
"Haha! Thanks... You're a...good kisser too." he said happily. The two blushed a little more, and then Russell grinned again as he took her by the hand. She looked up at him again, that same smartassy smile on his face made her melt. Come to think of it, his smile always made her melt really...
"I uh, guess this means we're boyfriend girlfriend. If that's all right with you." Russell said with a grin.
"O-of course!" Hazel answered quickly.
"Great! It's now official! You and I are soulmates! Ha!" Russell said happily and blushed brighter.
"Y-yeah..." she said and suddenly, she began to lose her eyesight. 'Whoa...what the--what's going on with me? I feel...all woozy...' Hazel thought to herself and blinked a couple of times, trying to snap herself out of this transe she had.
"Okay, let's get back to---hey! Hazel are you okay?!" Russell asked in a concerned tone when all of a sudden Hazel fell foward onto his chest, and he was very surprised. He felt her head, and realized she was burning up!
"OH CRUD!" Russell cried and covered her with the coat he was wearing, picking her up in his arms and covering the both of them. He rushed through the storm as water pitter pattered around him, beads of sweat combined with some water droplets ran down his face, hoping to get back to the Rockbell's as soon as possible to treat her sickness quick! 'Oh man! I hope Mrs. Rockbell still has some of her stew left! Edward you had better not eat all of it before I get back!' Russell thought through grit teeth as he ran faster through the rain. As he began to see some lights, he rushed through the door and was glad his hunch was right. It was the Rockbell's home.
"QUICK! MRS. ROCKBELL GRAB A BOWL OF YOUR STEW! HAZEL'S GOTTEN A FEVER!" Russell cried and rushed Hazel to the couch. She had her eyes replaced with swirlies as her face was red. When Pinako came over with the stew, Hazel seemed to be in pain slightly, panting a little bit. Russell managed to have her open her mouth so she could have to stew. When all of it was finished, she opened her eyes wearily to see the concerned 'Prince Charming' standing over her. She smiled slightly, and he grinned.
"Idiot. You had me worried there for a moment." he said and politely, gave her a kiss on the forehead.
"I'm sorry...forgive me?" Hazel asked playfully and he gave her another kiss on the cheek.
"What exactly happened out in that snowstorm Russell?" Ed asked, a glint appearing in his eye.
"Hey, can it short stuff." Russell snapped with his eyes narrowed and Ed flared.
"Don' call me short! I've grown for your info!" Ed roared.
"Not by my watch." Russell said and stood up. He was still taller than Ed by a few inches. Hazel laughed as she got up slightly, and looked around.
"Say...where's Fletcher and Li-san?" she asked, worried about their whereabouts. She still felt a little sick, as she was still flustered around her cheeks and face, but all she cared about now was mainly Li.
"Last time I saw them, they took off looking for you Hazel." Ed said. At this, she felt like her fever had gone away, and it was replaced with panic as reality-...well, half reality struck her. (u get what i mean, right?)
"They must still be out in the snowstorm! Oh no this is terrible! WHAT IF THEY TURN INTO ICESICLES?!" Hazel spazzed and ran around the house screaming her head off as Russell tried to calm her down. As she ran around the house frantically, the phone rang. By this time, Pinako and Den had gone to bed since the time now was getting late. Winry picked it up, and heard Li-san on the other side.
"Oh Li-san! Glad you're safe... Sooo you're where?"
(Russell in backround with sweatdrops, waving hands up in the air: Hazel calm down will you?! I'm sure they're fine!)
"Uh-huh..."
(Hazel in backround as she rushes around the house in chibi form: Oh no what do I do! What if she's dying out there!!! OR WORSE! HAVING AN ASTHMA ATTACK! NO WAIT, FREEZING TO DEATH! OH GOD WHAT HAVE I DONE!)
"Uh-huh...and Fletcher's with you?"
(Ed in backround flaming: HAZEL STOP RUNNING! I CAN'T KEEP UP THAT FAST!)
"Okay then. Yup, when the storm stops and it's light outside come back soon. You shouldn't be too far away.."
(Hazel in backround waving hands up and down with a river of tears flying: WHAT TO DO WHAT TO DO WHAT TO DO! LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!)
"You want Al to what?"
(Russell in backround: Hazel please! Settle down I can assure you that everythin's gonna be okay! I'll even go out to look for her if you want!)
". . .Oh okay no problem we'll give Lil Li some milk."
(Al in backround with sweatdrops as he is grinning nervously: Can we all just settle down? Hazel I'm sure Li's okay, she's strong she'll make it!)
"Okay then, yup we'll feed Lil Li. She's probably starving by now, so no worries."
(Ed in backround: Well Al I don't see you doing anythin' besides just sitting there with that dumbfounded look on your face!)
"See you soon. Bye."
(Al in backround: B-brother! That's so...mean! T.T )
"Hm? Hm... I'll tell them--oh? You have this weird instinct telling you you're bunking in with a creepy doctor who's an alchemist? You want us to what?" (Ed in backround: Well do something then! I'm outta breath as it is anyways!)
(Al in backround/eye twitch/ Fine! I will do something! -marches up to where Hazel is-)
"Okay..we'll do that. Okay, bye." Winry said and put the phone down. She turned to the group who were shouting the whole entire time. Winry's eye twitched, and she yelled at the top of her lungs.
"WILL EVERYONE JUST PLEASE SHUT THE HELL UP AND LISTEN TO WHAT I HAVE TO SAY!" she roared, and everyone was silent at that.
"Hazel you don't need to worry about Li and Fletcher. They're both fine, they're staying at a doctor's house that's a little bit away from where we are now. Fletcher caught a cold while they were out in the storm so they stumbled upon the doctor's home. They're gonna stay there until the storm clears up which should be tommorow." Winry said and faced away from them slightly after, lowering her voice to a slight low whisper.
"Also...Li wants us to look up this alchemist. I think we should call Mustang and ask about a man by the name of Dr. Velshtien who is also known as the Healing Alchemist... Anyways, if you'll all excuse me I have something to attend to." Winry explained, and they all watched her grab Al's present and rush upstairs with it and slam her bedroom door. They were all silent for a few moments, and then Hazel smiled brightly.
"Well that's a relief." she said happily and everyone fell on the floor with their feet up, twitching slightly. Hazel had a question mark above her head.
"What? Was it something I said? Was it?..." Hazel asked and there was no answer. Oh well she had said to herself because she was happy. She was glad that Li-san was all right, and even more happy that now, in Fullmetal World, she had a boyfriend! This Christmas would be the best ever! And the best part was, that when Li-san got back she, Al, Ed, Winry, and probably Russell and Fletcher would join them to journey to Central to give out all the gifts they had bought for everyone at Central! Could these weeks get any better? Oooooooooooooooooooooh yeaaaah...
Still...what was this about the doctor they were staying with? Weird feeling Li had? Hazel knew that with Li's bad instinct working in, she would be in trouble for the night, and conflict would approach. Maybe she spoke too soon by asking if these weeks would get better...
"Well, you heard Winry. It's time to call good ol' Mustang." Ed grimaced slightly, and dialed the number to call the famous Flame Alchemist.
