White was not Edward Elric's colour Roy Mustang decided as the teen's face paled.
"Where did you get them?" Ed asked, trying to stay calm.
"They were nailed to my front door."
Edward blinked. He had not been expecting that. Mustang entered the office and drew a third calendar page from his pocket.
"Perhaps this will answer all your questions."
Edward looked at the rumpled page and began reading.
"Ambush? Pit trap? What the hell…?" His eyes widened. "Alphonse." He hissed. He had been set up.
"And Hughes." Roy said quietly watching the colour surge back into Ed's face.
They looked at each other.

When Hawkeye entered the office, she found Colonel Mustang and Edward Elric silently working.
The coffee was on and the calendar had been changed.
There was also a large gouge an inch deep across the desk that could have been caused by an automail blade and a large scorch mark down one wall.
"What happened here?" She demanded.
Two identical shrugs and two identical smirks answered her.
Simultaneous smug voices replied "I kissed him."
