When I got home I was listening to My Hero by Foo Fighters, full from the Triple Breakfast with hashbrown from The Cloudy Heaven. Man Kisuke knows how to make them. When I open the door to the house, Ed was already home asleep on the couch. I chuckled putting the black blanket over him. He cooed like a baby & cuddled the blanket like it was his old teddy bear. I walked into the kitchen grabbing a Dr. Pepper from the fridge. I downed the Pepper like it was water sighing "Wonder how Ed & Winry's date went" I shrugged & grabbed another Dr. Pepper downing half of it. I walked into my room & sat down in my bed & started thinking...then I realized I still got Jade's number. I took out my cell & punched in the number. It ranged twice & awnsered. "Ello?"
"Uh…Jade…it's me, Al"
"Al! What's up?"
"Nothing much, you?"
"Same here"
"Cool, so listen…I was wondering if you want to hang out tomorrow…say…5?"
There was a giggle as she awnsered "Of course! It could be…a date!"
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa…a date? A DATE!? Holy crap…
I gulped & awnsered "Uh…yeah...sure, a date."
She giggled & said "Sweet! Meet up at The Cloudy Heaven at 5?"
"Yeah sure"
"Great! See ya then!"
The line went dead
"Holy…ED!"
I ran down stairs & into the living room almost tripping over Mr. Kittypuff, our cat. I grabbed Ed & shook him awake. "Brother…Brother…wake up"
His eyes opened up like he was high or something as he yawn. "Al…what the hell…what's wrong?"
"I need advice"
He sighed & said "Al we've been through this…your 3rd leg is not a play thing"
I looked at him crazy & said "What? NO! I asked a girl out & she said yes. She's pretty & cute & her name is Jade. Got any advice?"
He said "Ohhhhhh…yeah I got some advice"
He stood up & walked to the garage & pulled out the roll around chalkboard that teacher used for us when we were kids. He wrote a number 1 on the board,
"First rule when you are out on a date, look nice. Don't look like a bum. That means: no shorts, no dumbass shirts, no tank tops, no sandals, no wacked out hairdos, & no hats. Always wear your jacket because she might be cold." I nodded. So wearing "IT'S THE FREAKING WEEKEND" T-shirt is out of the question.
He wrote a number 2 on the board & a few notes.
"Second rule of dating, always be a gentleman. Don't act like a douche or an asshole. Be yourself." So the shy, quiet, Alphonse. Great.
NUMBER 3!
"Third rule, good hygiene. That means: take a bath, put cologne on, put some deodorant on, wash your hair, & for god sakes brush your teeth." He smelt my breath "Triple Breakfast with hashbrown?" I nodded. He chuckled & said "Kisuke knows how to make them good" There was a knock on the front door as it opened "Hallo?"
Ed yelled "We're in the living room Winry!"
Winry walked into the doorway of the living room smiling "So Professor Edward, what are we learning today?"
Ed chuckled & said "Looks like Al here got himself a date with a girl named Jade"
Winry cocked an eyebrow & said "Wait, Jade? Long black hair & scarlet eyes Jade?" I nodded & said "Yeah why?" She laughed & said "That's my best friend!" I went wide eyed. That's her friend? Oh shit…Winry grabbed the chalk & eraser from Ed & erased everything off the board & wrote a lot of freaking notes on the board

"FIRST & ONLY RULE ON GOING OUT WITH JADE LEONE! Follow what your bro did with me & you'll be fine!" I tilted my head & looked to Ed. Ed smiled & said "Just follow what I told you" I nodded & looked at the clock "I better get ready.." they nodded & smiled to each other & then to me as Ed said "Bout time you got out of the house Al, I got tired seeing you always by yourself." Winry nodded & smiled "She found her good type…last boy left her waiting at the restaurant" I stood tall & nodded walking to the bathroom "let's get started…"
