Author's notes - Good news people! My computer finally stopped acting stupid, and now I can write up my stories again without borrowing my older brother's laptop! YAYYYY!

Anywho, let's get to today's chapter: Thanksgiving has finally come to Amestris, and the gang is having Thanksgiving dinner at Tomoyo's place(obviously, lol). There's going to be food, the Thanksgiving football game, and lots of fun to go around . . . until Fai breaks out the bottles of sake that he snagged out of Yuko's secret stash . . . I'm sorry, but me and KCH33 - being the crazy fangirls that you've come to know and love, thought of a very funny scene while we went skiing last February vacation that was just too good to pass up. *laughs evily*

nighthunter1220: . . . Why are you laughing . . . ?

~Chapter Nine~

I opened the oven door, the delicious smell of cinnamon filling my senses as I took the pumpkin pie out of the oven. November had come to Amestris and the weather was changing fast. The leaves were a million shades of gold, red, and orange, and were dropping off the trees. The days were getting longer and colder. But November also meant that another holiday was coming around the corner: Thanksgiving, which was today. I had just finished baking the pumpkin pie that Sarah and I were taking to Tomoyo's later this afternoon. Everyone was once again going to the amethyst eyed girl's house for dinner. It seemed like Tomoyo was going to be volunteering her place a lot for the future holiday parties.

After the whole Halloween incident, Ed had taken his brother straight to the hospital. Luckily, Al didn't have a concussion, but he did have to get a few stitches. To my relief, Ed wasn't mad at me at all. He was more pissed off at the guys who had hurt his little brother and tried to assault me.

Sarah walked in from the living room and took a big breath in. "Sweet! Mom's famous pumpkin pie!" She tried reaching for the knife to cut herself a piece, but I slapped her hand away.

"No! This is for after dinner tonight, Sarah." I scolded. The blonde pouted. Seeing that I wasn't going to let her slip a small piece she rolled her eyes playfully. The two of us busied ourselves with cooking until it was time for Winry and the Elrics to come pick us up.

The door to Tomoyo's house opened. A big grin spread across the raven haired girl's face. "Carmen-chan! Sarah-chan! Come on in!" she exclaimed opening the door up for us. No sooner had we taken a step forward when a familiar blonde shorty materialized in the living room doorway.

"CARMEN! YOU MADE PUMPKIN PIE!" Ed yelled making a beeline in my direction, the crazy look in his eye he always gets whenever he eats my cooking. His jump was cut short when Winry's wrench came flying out of nowhere, hitting him in the back of the head (1). He fell to the ground dramatically, the wrench stuck in his skull and blood spurting out of his head comically.

"HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU, DON'T ATTACK CARMEN EVERY TIME SHE BAKES SOMETHING!" Winry screeched from the living room doorway (Al, Sarah, and I watched with completely calm expressions since we were used to this while everyone else jaws dropped).

I waved my hand at a shocked Tomoyo. "Don't worry about Ed. Throwing a wrench is Winry's way of saying that she loves him." I easily dodged the bloody wrench thrown at me from a very flustered looking mechanic. "That was for making me play the guitar in Chorus." I thought, an evil smile spreading across my face.

With all of that over, I put the pie in the refrigerator and joined everyone in the living room where they were watching the Thanksgiving Day game (mostly the guys). Tomoyo then proceeded to introduce me to some people who I didn't know yet. First off was her boyfriend Eriol (2). He was a tall young man with pale skin and dark blue hair. Glasses rested on the bridge of his nose which made him look intelligent, and for some reason very devious.

Next was Chi and Hideki. Chi was a pretty girl with large brown eyes, pale skin similar to Fai's, and long gold hair that she wore down with two sections of her hair in the front tied up. In her hair were two barrets in the shape of two, fluffy cat ears that she wore on both sides of her head (according to Tomoyo, they were the latest fashion accessories). She greeted me with a small head nod but she was very quiet and often stayed close to Hideki, who I assumed was her boyfriend.

Oddly enough, Roy and Riza were there at the party sitting next to each other on one end of the couch watching the game. Rumors had been going around the school that the two of them had finally hooked up. And by the way that they were holding hands, I guess the rumors were right.

About twenty minutes later, Winry, Tomoyo, and Fai called us all into the dining room for dinner. This room was even bigger than the living room. Huge picture windows lined the wall, letting in tons of sunlight and giving us a great view of the park. A long table was situated in the center of the room and had a large chair at the head of the table where Tomoyo's older sister, Amaterasu, was currently sitting. One more crystal chandelier hung from the ceiling. Tons of delicious looking food had been placed on the table making my mouth water just looking at it. As soon as we said grace, everyone started attacking and eating the food like it would be the last meal they would ever eat (Ed of course finished off almost all of the pumpkin pie before Winry hit him again with the wrench).

After we all stuffed ourselves full, everyone piled into the living room to watch the rest of the football game and eat the desserts that had been layed out. That's when things got a little . . . interesting.

"Hey, guys! Check out what I brought!" Fai sang out loud. About ten sake bottles seemed to appear out of nowhere.

Watanuki stared at the bottles shocked. "Fai-san . . . where did you get that sake?"

"I stole it out of Yuko's secret stash in her office before school ended Wednesday. Why?" the blond asked cheerfully.

Watanuki's arms broke out in their usual spasmodic flailing. "IDIOT! DON'T YOU KNOW BETTER THAN TO TAKE SAKE FROM YUKO! NO WONDER SHE WAS YELLING AT ME WHEN WE GOT HOME!

Fai merely waved the spazzing boy off. "Don't worry Watanuki. I'll make sure to return them. She'll hardly notice that they're gone!"

"Enough talk . . . hand over the liquor." Kurogane demanded.

Twenty minutes later . . .

"I'M A BIRDIE! MEOW!" blurted out a drunk: overly-hyper Fai, who was currently jumping all over the room and rubbing up against people's legs like he was a cat (along with Sakura and Tomoyo, which was even more creepy). Syaoran had picked up a gravy ladle and was running around the house swinging it around like it was a sword. Watanuki was feverishly making out with Doumeki in the corner, and by the looks of it they were going to take it a step further in a few moments. Winry was completely hammered and had slung herself over Ed's shoulders. Edward wasn't that drunk yet, but what the mechanic said next seemed to change his mind . . .

"Hey Ed, what was that girl's name that had a crush on you last year?" Winry babbled, hiccuping and downing down another bottle of sake.

"Uh . . . I don't remember," the blond replied, but seemed cautious of the loopy mechanic.

"Wasn't her name Rose?" Sarah piped up innocently.

Ed cringed.

"~Ohhhhhh yeah~ So . . . you wanna explain THIS?" the blond then proceeded to shove a picture in Ed's face that looked like a girl ("Rose")was pinning Ed onto a bed by straddling him. Ed's face turned completely pale.

"I NEED ANOTHER DRINK!" he yelled seizing another bottle. A few minutes later he was completely gone like the others.

The ones who were still sober were Me, Sarah, Al, and Kurogane. Kurogane could hold his own when it came to alcohol, but I forbade Sarah and Al from drinking it. Anyways, Kurogane and I ended up covering the two younger members of the group's eyes when Roy and Riza got a little . . . excited on the couch.

"Ca-chan! I can't see!" the blond whined, pawing at my hands.

"No, I'm trying to protect your innocence," I said, refusing to budge.

". . . Kurogane-san? Is it really that bad?" Al asked in a small voice. Kurogane's hand was currently covering his eyes.

"Don't look kid. It will ruin you for marriage."

Since the Elrics were our ride home, Sarah and I were forced to stay over Tomoyo's because Al didn't want to leave his brother and he didn't feel comfortable leaving him there. The next morning when we did leave however, both Ed and Winry vowed that they were never drinking booze again.
