EAST CENTRAL

The state military ball was getting of the military,state alchemists and higher ups were attending and most were chatting among themselves,
listening to music, talking about events on what's going was a great night.
Except for one person.
Dressed in a black suit with a white shirt button up to his neck, Edward grumpily walked and sulked thorughout the evening not enjoying himself.
His brother Alphonse as usual trapped in armour walked alongside with Edward ignoring the stares watching him which he was quite used to it.
Al said"Come on brother, this is suppose to be relax and hang out for a while"

Ed grumpily"I'm not in a mood for social I hate wearing this shirt is killing me."

Al"Brother, we're suppose to have a good time."

"Good time, shyyyaaa right. WSe should be out searching and reseach for the philospher stone. Not hobnobbing with the rich and the power ups.
I mean look at Mustang over there, kissing up with some generals over just can't wait until he gets his all so big and mighty."

"Brother please, just relax for once and try to make the best of it."

Ed sigh"I suppose you're right, I might as well taste what's in the punch"

Al replied"Don't you think it may contain alcolhol and are'nt you allowed not to drink it?"

"Hey I'm a state alchemist, I can do anything I want since we're with the military."

"Ah, you must be Edward Elric, the famous full-metal, we've heard so much tales about you."A man came up in his 40's with receding white hair accompanied by a very young woman all dressed in white.

The couple came up to Al and said"It is true what they say, you do carry the armour of yours during your travels."

(Ed spits out his drink, face is red)

Al "ummmmm...you got the wrong person.(pointing at Ed) he is"

"What, that small thing?"

"WHO ARE YOU CALLING YOU NO GMMMPHHHHHH..MMMRMMRMRMRM..MRMRMMRMMRMMRMRMR!!!!!!!!!"

Al holding his brother restraining him and covering his mouth.

Al"You'll have to forgive him. He's very hot under the collar"

"MRRRRMRMRMRMRMMR...MRMRMRMRMMSMMRMRMR!!!!!!MRRRMRMMRMRMRMMRMMRMRMR!!!!!!!!!!"

The old man replied"i see................."

"Is there seem to be a problem mr. Ambasador?"

Col. Mustang all dressed in his military dressed uniform accompanied by Lt. Hawkeye

The Ambassador replied"Ah..Col. Mustang, I was just about to meet the Full-metal though I fear I made him upset about his size."

Col. Mustang"Ah, well you have to forgive Full-metal, though he is big when it comes to battles but his temper sure matches his size"

Ed "WHMMM YOURMMMMMMRMRMRM RMRMRMRMMRMRMMMMMRMRMRMRMR!!!!!!!!! MMRMRMRMRMRMRPH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

tHE Ambassador"oh please forgive me gentlemen, I am Theodroe Brensson, the ambassador of Warkervia and this is the Baroness Coleena of Lyvidia in our country.

A woman with pale skin with long brown hair and pale blue eyes nodded at them.
Al lets go of his brother (while Ed was in shock staring at her) and he bows to her.
(Ed does the same)

Al"Pl..Pleased to meet you."

Ambassador"Ah Col. mustang, there's something I need to discuss on our current you young genltmen excuse us."

Mustang"Yes, of course, Mr. Ambassador, oh and Edward...BEHAVE."

As the three left,Ed with his face red, growls like a rabid dog.

"Calm down brother."

Ed"Bahh!!!!!I'm getting something to drink."

Al sighs as Edward sulks to the punch bowl."

"Excuse me...Mr..."

Al stares at Coleena who was still here and went in shock a bit.

"Oh,...uh, It's Alphonse but everyone calls me Al for short."

Collena smiles ans says"Well Alphonse, perhaps you would like to tell me about your travels of yours."

"me..uh...well, it's ususally me and my brother and..."

"You don't have to be shy Alphonse, I won't bite."

"well perhaps my brother would(looks for Edward but could'nt ind him.)..I guess I can tell you a couple of my stories."

As they walk off, Coleena replies"By the way, does that armour of yours get tiring"

"Oh no, you can get used to it for a while.

-
Edward pour his drink from the punch bowl when Lt. Havoc comes by to him

Havoc"Hey ED, Good to see you're making progess with the people you're with."

Ed"eeehhh.....I'm not much of a social besides I wearing suits"

Havoc"Well, it seems to me Al is hitting with the ladies lately, especially that looker hanging around him."

Edward looks at his brother with the baroness still talking yo each other.

Ed silently say"If ony she knew.."

-
"It's very interesting that you still travel with your brother a lot."Coleena replied.

Al said"Well it's tough to keep an eye on Ed, he does rush into trouble and he does'nt realises yet.
Somebody needs to keep an eye on him."

Colleena laughs"teeheehee.. By the way, would you mind escorting me to the carriage?I have some things to do before heading back to my homeland."

Al armor's turn red and said"Ummmm....well maybe my brother.."

"It would'nt take to long, besides I see you brother is being occupied at the moment."

Al looks at Ed drinking the punch, nearly drunk and talking slurry to Havoc.

Al"well, I suppose to help you out."

"I most grateful"Colleena smiles and escort Al outside the building with her arm wrap around Al's armor's arm.
=================================================================================================================================================== Colleena"I really do appreciate this has been a wonderful evening."

Al"Oh,it's no problem.I'm happy ot help."

As they approached to a carriage and parked next to it is a huge van setting next to it.

Al"What's that van doing here?"

Colleena begins to go into the carriage and said to Al sadly,"By the way, I want to say I'm very truly sorry.."

Al looks troubled"Sorry?...Why?"

Colleena"That I'm truly sorry to do this to you."

Then all of the sudden, Al felt of a huge electric jolt and felt like as he could'nt resist falls to the pavement as two men, one carrying an electic prod, begins to finish the job as they carrying Al to the back of he van.

Colleena said sadly"But this is for my sister and the best for my country."
