{Inspiration keeps smacking me in the face for this story. I hope you are enjoying it! Ed's potty mouth is about to go on overdrive! Well, back to the story!}
"Those two are Hawkeye and... ME?!"
The room fell into silence for a couple of seconds before Sam started chuckling. Soon, it was her and Al, but instaed of chuckling it turned into a full on laugh the almost made them fall to the floor. Ed's eyes darted at them, then at Mustang.
"What makes you think I'm going to live with you?!" He stood up, yelling. He was about to crack.
"It was the Fuhrer's choice, not mine." He sighed. "We leave tomorrow at dawn. Don't be late... again..."
Sam finally stopped laughing and questions started pouring out. "How long are we going to be gone?"
He sighed, looking at Al. "From about 6 months to a year." Sam looked down at the floor. "Is Al coming?"
His eye looked away from Sam. "No. I'm sorry. He could jeopardize the mission if he came. You can call him though." Sam was now a bit happier than before.
After Mustang dismissed them from his office, they went to lunch. After Ed ate almost half the restraunt, they went back to the hotel. Sam hadn't said a single word the entire time and she didn't eat any of the food she ordered. She just sat with them, gazing out the window. Ed started to get worried.
"Hey, you okay?" He finally said. She snapped out of thought and gave a fake grin. "Yeah. I'm fine. Don't worry. I think that might be the reason you're so short. All of your energy goes into your worrying instead of growing."
Ed's face turned red and steam started to blow out of his ears. "WHO ARE YOU CALLING A SPECK THAT BARELY BE SEEN BY A MAGNIFY GLASS, YOU CRIPPLE?!" Sam gritted her teeth.
"WHO ARE YOU CALLING A DISABLE?! I AM ABLE ENOUGH TO KICK YOU ASS, YOU MIDGET!" They then had as Al called it 'A sibling screaming match'. Even though they seem different, they are actually very much alike. Ed's 'trigger' words were small, short, tiny, midget, etc. While for Sam, it's cripple, handicap, disable, physically challenged, etc. They both had short tempers when those words were said. Al finally split the two up, reminding them that they needed to pack.
The rest of the night was very uneventful. Ed then woke up to find Sam had gotten up before him. She was looking out the window, watching the sun rise. Dark circles were starting to form under her eyes from the lack of sleep.
"Hey, how long have you been up?" She smiled, turning to Ed. "I don't know... 5 hours?" Ed's eyes grew a bit before grinning on of his famous grins. "Typical Sam..."
"What's that supposed to mean?!" She defended. He started to get dressed. "You almost never sleep and when you do, it's when you run out of energy and pass out."
"Really? Says the guy who used to wet himself every night and ask me to crawl into bed with him." He glared at her, helping her get dressed. This time in a black t-shirt, a red hoodie and jeans (the pant leg on her right leg was tied into a knot so it wouldn't drag on the ground). Her hair tied into a messy bun.
They grabbed their already packed bags and started to head out the door. "We'll call you every night and give you lots of details. Love ya, Al!" Sam hugged Al tightly. Ed then pulled her away and they left out the door.
They finally made it to the train station to notice Mustang and Riza standing with their suitcases. "Hey!" Sam called out. Mustang looked up while Riza waved.
"Ah, Fullmetal, you're actually on time." Ed glared at Mustang. "Yeah I am. When is our train supposed to come?"
Riza took Sam's bag from Ed and answered something surprising. "We are still waiting for someone." Ed and Sam were confused. They replied in unison, "Who?"
Soon enough, a large shadow appeared behind Sam and Ed. Two large arms wrapped around them, pulling them into a bone crushing hug. "Oh, dear Elric twins! How great it is to see you!"
At that moment, they knew who it was... "Major... Armstrong?"
