"Hey Alphonse, come here for a moment," Armony called.
Alphonse sighed, this was getting to be a bit annoying, at least Ed hadn't needed him every five minutes.
Al and Armony had been staying alone at the professor's castle for the past week. The professor has asked Al to take care of Armony for him. He still had no idea the two of them were dating and Al had no intention of telling him in the near future, especially now.
"Alphonse hurry!" Armony shouted from the bedroom. Al jumped up and ran to the bedroom. He stopped dead, staring at the room in front of him, every inch of it was covered in flowers: Roses, daisies, lilies, every flower he could imagine was in there.
"Armony, what is this?" Al asked, looking around, "Armony?" He glanced around again, "You in here?"
"Alphonse, come here." Armony shouted for the third time. Alphonse sighed, a game of hide and seek, perfect.
He started down the hall opening doors. He saw alchemical labs like the one he'd been in, storage rooms, book rooms, a small snack area, and some bedrooms, but no Armony.
He stopped at the main kitchen to grab a drink when he noticed more flowers put into every glass, which after taking out a lot of them, he found a note: Next clue in the daisies.- Armony.
Al raised an eyebrow and glanced down the hall, why hadn't she mentioned there'd be hidden clues, unless this was the first one. He really didn't want to go back and check though.
'Daisies,' he thought, going into the court yard, "where do the daisies around here?"
After looking around the garden, then the rest of the outside he was starting to get seriously annoyed. He'd found three bunches of daisies and not one of them had contained another clue or Armony's whereabouts. There was only one last place to check. He went back inside to the flower room and saw a clue, in the bunch of daisies: Where we first met- Armony.
Finally something easy, and with that he pulled on a coat and walked back out. 'Why does she have to make everything almost impossible?' He thought, if he was going to be sent on a scavenger hunt she should have at least let him know. She probably forgot though. It sounded like something she would do. She acted like her master, no wander the two always fought.
"Alphonse you finally made it, what kept you?" Armony asked, jumping from the perch on the rock.
"You didn't tell me I was going on a scavenger hunt."
Armony cocked her head, "Hunt?" she repeated, "What? Oh...oops, sorry."
"What?" Alphonse asked.
"Well it was going to be scavenger hunt, but then I decided that I would just tell you, you know, so there's no confusion, but I forgot to take down the clues, I left a note in the flower room, though, did you see it?"
"After I got the clue in the kitchen and searched to grounds for two hours." Alphonse said.
"I thought I took that note out, it was too vague."
"How many notes did you leave?" Alphonse asked.
"Ten, twelve maybe," Armony said.
"I'm sorry, let me make it up to you," she said, turning back an running up the path. Al sighed hopelessly and followed.
"Isn't it pretty?" Armony asked.
"Yea, it is," Al wrapped his arms around her, staring down at the lake before them.
