A/N: This is a starting point for an idea that I'm going to be writing about in the future. So I thought I would see how it turns out!

Watch and Learn

This couldn't possibly be happening. He was sure, beyond sure, absolutely positive that they had to be here. It wasn't as if inanimate objects could possibly take on a life of their own and walk their way out of the draw in his study. Could they? A host of stories involving fairies, elves and mysterious little people flew to his mind. With an annoyed frown he banished them quickly. He was definitely spending too much time with certain people. He smiled suddenly, however the smile soon vanished as he returned to his task. This was definitely not a good morning.

The brown haired girl stared down in confusion, while her two companions watched closely. The elder of the two watched with bated breath in both fascination and apprehension. The younger just raised an eyebrow and rolled her eyes.

"You look like a complete idiot." She stated dryly. Elicia glared at the two before her.

"Hey, it's harder than it looks." Again, the girl simply rolled her eyes, a bored expression painted on her face. Her companion looked between the two before stating tentatively.

"I'm not so sure this is a good idea." The two girls glared at him, causing him to shrink back slightly. Elicia laughed.

"You said that about climbing in the ravine." She replied, turning on her heel and proceeding towards the end of the garden.

"And about chasing that mouse" added the other girl, who strode past him to walk with her friend.

"And about sneaking into the old Fuhrer's mansion at midnight."

"And about..." however the sentence was cut off mid flow as Lysander yelled.

"And all those things got us in trouble! Elicia, you broke your wrist falling into off the ledge. Following the mouse took us into the forest where Aydan got so freaked out by the spiders that she shot her arrows at everything that moved! And when we stayed in the mansion Aydan's parents went crazy on all of us!" the two girls turned to him before stating simultaneously.

"So what?" Lysander's mouth dropped open before he yelled.

"AND YOU ALWAYS BLAME IT ON ME!" Elicia rolled her eyes and walked off towards the designated point of the garden.

"Well Lysander are you coming or not?" called Aydan before running to catch up with the older girl. Lysander hesitated for a second before running to catch up with them. Aydan smiled winningly at Lysander, flicking her honey blonde hair that never stayed put out of her eyes before saying.

"I knew you would come!" Lysander frowned and turned back to Elicia. However, before Elicia could do anything, Aydan turned and ran a few feet away.

"Now!" she called, "Watch and learn!"

Riza yawned as she walked up the stairs. It was only eleven and she was already exhausted. On the second floor of the house she paused, hearing a string of curses coming from the study. Curiously she walked towards the room. Her eyes widened at what she saw. The whole room was in complete disarray, books, papers and pens thrown everywhere while her husband was currently throwing the contents of a draw in the air.

"Roy, what the hell are you doing?" she called. Roy looked up from what he was doing, frustration shining in his eyes.

"I know it's here!" he yelled. Riza continued to stare at him as if he had finally gone mad.

"What is?" she asked. However before Roy could respond, a large explosion ripped through the air. The two exchanged a look before they sped down the stairs, out of the back door and into the garden.

"AYDAN! ELICIA! LYSANDER!" Roy yelled as he sped towards a group of figures standing stiffly as flames rose into the air. As he approached he slowed slightly as he realised that the explosion had come from the other side of the fence in the abandoned property about 400 metres away. He stopped at the sight he saw. Aydan was frozen to the spot, staring open mouthed at the flames. Her hand was still paused in a snapping position, one of his white alchemy gloves crudely placed on her hand.

"Aydan what on earth did you do!" Cried Riza, running past him and kneeling beside her daughter, carefully peeling the glove from her fingers.

"I didn't mean to! I didn't think it would actually work." She mumbled.

"How did you get my gloves?" Roy asked. Riza shot him a look that clearly stated that that was not the time for such a question.

"That was me. Sorry." Muttered Elicia apologetically. Roy frowned in confusion. Elicia had only arrived half an hour ago and he had been in the study the whole time. How the hell had he managed to get the gloves without him noticing? Well, she was a Hughes after all.

"Aydan, that was a very stupid thing to do, you know that you shouldn't play with your dad's gloves." Aydan's dark eyes brimmed with tears as she looked at her mother.

"I'm sorry mum, I didn't know it would work, I just aimed and..." she broke off, sobbing quietly. Roy smiled and walked up to her, pulling her into a hug.

"There now sweetheart, it's alright. You know you shouldn't be..."

"Wait, Aydan honey, you actually aimed for that building?" Riza asked, astounded. Aydan lifted her head from her father's shoulder and nodded.

"Wow..." Riza stated. Roy turned around and the adults exchanged a proud look, causing Elicia and Lysander to exchange questioning glances. Roy straightened.

"Right, I'll go sort this out. But after lunch, Aydan I want you to show me exactly what you did." And with that he gave his daughter a smile and went off towards the small blaze. Riza turned to the three children and held out her hands expectantly. Slowly both Elicia handed over the other glove. Riza smiled.

"Come on you three, let's go inside." She held out her hand towards Aydan, who took it gratefully, glad she wasn't in trouble. Lysander and Elicia stood still for a moment.

"I don't get it. She blew up a house! Okay, no one normal could have hit something that far away, but still she used her father's gloves, shouldn't she be in trouble or something?" he asked. Elicia simply sighed and began walking towards the house.

"She's Aydan Mustang. You sort of have to expect it I guess." She stated with a laugh.

A/N: Aydan is a girls name meaning "little fire".

Kinda couldn't resist. Please let me know what you think.
