I do not own Full Metal Alchemist; Hiromu Arakawa does. Sorry about the chapters being so short too.
Once they realised that Ed wouldn't willingly help them to make him revert back to his original size and once they'd convinced him to let Mustang down safely, the group of seven set out to see if they could find the women who had put the imprecation upon Ed. And as luck would have it, footer half an hour of searching, they came across a tall lady. Unfortunately for them however, it wasn't the one they sought (the group weren't even sure if it were a lady or a man in lady's clothing), which meant that they'd have to keep searching.
Ed hadn't contemplated things like going to the bathroom or washing himself yet but the thing he wanted at the moment was food. Now you can imagine how much food it would take to satisfy someone as tall as a skyscraper (had skyscrapers existed at that time), especially when Ed eats that much in the first place. He glanced over the city and beamed when he eyed his favourite restaurant, taking gigantic stomps until he reached it. Crouching down next to the building, he decided to use his height to his advantage and picked the roof off, examining the kitchen area.
The portions were smaller than he would have liked but it would have to do. He ate practically the entire kitchen in his efforts to get all the food.
The seven searching were starting to get weary ergo decided to take a break. They sat down on the eroding steps of Central Library. They were about to give up when Falman noticed a tall figure donned in outré clothing. From the back, Falman could only see a flowing black cape and a pointed hat; auburn curls coming from underneath said hat, bouncing with each step taken. When Al had said strange, he'd had something a bit more different in mind.
"Look!" He exclaimed and pointed at the woman, everyone's attention becoming focused on her. Al quickly jumped off of the stairs and confronted the woman. "Excuse me but my brother, Edward Elric; you may have seen him around, what with him being 300 foot and all. I was wondering if you had something to do with his sudden growth spurt."
"Oh, so that was your brother?" The woman smiled at Al as the others stood behind him. "Yes, he was being a little too obnoxious for my taste so I granted his wish."
"Ed wished to be 300 foot tall?" Fuery asked.
"Ah… Something like that. I suppose you want to know how to change him back to his original short self, no?"
"Yes, we would. Colonel Mustang" He offered his hand to the woman. "And you would be…?"
"Tired! I've been on my feet all day. Mind if we go sit over on those steps?" The woman replied and made a head-start for the stairs.
Ed was starting to get a little bit bored now so being the 'Hero of the people' he was, decided to use his height to benefit others. He helped get kittens out of trees (wouldn't Al be proud?), put fires out by merely spitting on them, easily tracked and caught thieves, all amongst other things. He was soon known amongst the people (and amongst the people only, for he'd surely kill them if he found out) as the 'SFG'; the 'Short Friendly Giant' and praised greatly.
Thank you to all who have read this far and reviewed! Please, keep them coming! They make me very happy.
