6: Lucky Laura strikes again
I don't own FMA and it belongs to its rightful owners anything else belongs to AENR13
POV of Laura Fang
I flop down at my desk and lay my head against its smooth wood to cool my headache. I close my eyes about to catch some Z's before the Führer comes in to check on some of my reports. There's the sound of laughing so I go over to investigate because why are my newbies laughing?
There's everyone jammed inside of the mess hall looking at the TVs and the projector with a video playing. I take a closer look at the video and Ohmigod. It's a video from one of the street cameras of Roy and I going out of the bar and I'm drunk. There's me telling him that I love him, I'm in horror because I would have never told him if I was sober. I remember what's going to happen next to I get in front of the projector and turn it off.
"Lucky Laura strikes again!" one of the older Officers laugh at me so I snap.
"I will ask once! Who brought this video in?! I swear I will kill you all!" I threaten but then regret it because then my head throbs a bit. No one confesses so I scan everyone's faces as I walk around, I spot a shrimp moving so I fling a knife at him. He stops in his tracks trembling a bit "Move and I swear I'll make sure the next knife doesn't miss." he doesn't so I make my way towards him and punch him. "You in my office now." he nods and leaves. I look back towards everyone in the mess hall; "I'll deal with you all later. I'd confess now that you were on this before I find out and trust me; you don't want to see me furious." I pace around my office as the shrimp stands there. "And what made you think that would be a good idea shrimp? You should know that soliciting a video showing my bad conduct wouldn't have ended well. I know I should have not acted that way towards my fellow Colonel but think about this; I'm your Colonel, I can make things a miserable place for you. So tell me; what were you thinking? Or made you to get the bright idea of tainting my image that way!?" I demand.
"I'm sorry, I only meant it as a joke I didn't mean it to ruin your image Colonel Fang." he confesses
"Now imagine if the Fuhrer sees this?! It's not only you who's out of a job put Colonel Mustang and I can be too. So I'd advise you to go and tell the Führer about this yourself and get out." he leaves so I shake my head. Great; I make my way down the hallways when my head starts hurting from walking too much so I see Armstrong, and an idea hits me.
"Oh Armstrong~!" I sing waving to get his attention. He comes over
"Yes Colonel?" I give him big eyes and ask
"Can I sit on your shoulder today~? I get headaches from walking too much and I have places to go. If you do let me I'll get you a raise~!" I try to convince him. He smiles (well I think he smiles because of his mustache covering his mouth)
"Of course Colonel." I get on his shoulder and he takes me outside with the newbies. I cross my arms over my chest as we both watch the newbies show their Alchemy so I can know where to send them off with. I hear someone calling me by my first name so I jump off of Armstrong and look towards the source. It's a regular Soldier and a smaller figure with an Alchemist running towards me. I squint my eyes and half of me dies but the others full of joy.
"Laura! I need you to do me a favor!" the Soldier yells at me as they come closer,
"What is it Dylan?" I demand and kneel down. "Come here my love~!" I talk in a baby's voice to the little girl Emi who's 3 years old. She runs up to me and hugs me so I hug her back. I haven't seen her in nearly a year. I stand up and look at Dylan, Emi hugs my leg and Dylan smiles.
"I'm being stationed out of Central for about a week and I need you to take care of her."
I frown, "It's not part of our deal Dylan. You know I'm busy and it's dangerous for her," I state as I pet her hair. He sighs and dart his eyes around
"I know Laura but c'mon, she's your flesh and blood too. We both knew but please? I know we're busy but c'mon do this for me?" he gives a begging look so I sigh.
"Fine but you owe me. You better not die on me either." he smiles and leaves. I turn around and find the shrimps staring so I pick Emi up and yell at them "What the Hell are you guys looking at?! Get back to work!" they scramble so I glance over at Armstrong "Can you keep an eye on them please?" he nods so I walk back inside talking to Emi. "How's Daddy treating you?" I ask as she waves to the other Alchemists
"Good, he's always leaving though. Where's Roy? Daddy told me that you liked him, is it true?" she makes a duck face so I shush her.
"Shush! And Daddy's really nosy isn't he? C'mon let's go to my office and talk. I'll doll you up real nice like you would always beg me too," I open the door to my office and find Hughes in there. He sets down some papers on my desk. He stares at Emi and I.
"Laura! I didn't know you had a daughter! She's so cute! She looks like Elicia but not really! She even has your hair and eye shape! Maybe I can get her off of your hands and ask Gracia to pick her up so that way she and Elicia can play together! I want to get a picture of you and your little bundle of joy!" before I can protest he grabs a camera and snaps a picture of us. He shows it to me "Look! She even has your photogenic-ness! I'm going to go and tell Roy about it now!"
"No wait!" I try to stop him but he's gone in a flash. Damn it. I shake it off to the side and close the door with my foot. I set her down and go to my closet and bring out some of her old toys out. "Sorry Emi, right now these are all that I have. I'll make sure we can buy you more once when we're home." I apologize. She grabs one, studies it and sets it down.
"It's okay. As long as Daddy lets me to see you I'm fine with it." she hugs me so I hug her back. She sits on the floor playing with her toys, and taking naps while I finish up my work for the day. We're leaving when Ed and Al see us.
"Hey! We're back!" they greet as they come over. Emi gets scared so she tugs on my leg, I pick her up and they just stare at me puzzled. I smirk and laugh
"I'll explain later. C'mon, I want to go get something to eat, you coming?" I ask so they nod and we leave the building.
Duh Duh! So looks like there's some secrets that the Illusion Alchemist hasn't revealed yet! So leave your reviews please?
