His Guard Chapter 16 The Plan, and Ling's Involvement

Lan Fan felt very, very akward. She was dressed in an Amestrian Military Uniform.

She wondered how Ed had gotten a hold of this uniform, or how he knew her size. It was very strange to be dressed as a foriegn soldier in order to enter her own country.

As she was leaving the building to go to Xing, she passed by Ling. Ling stopped and stared.

Ling quickly turned around, and headed her way, stopping her from going anywhere. "Did you think that I wouldn't recognize you?" Ling asked her.

Lan Fan blushed. "I didn't expect to run in to you." She confessed.

"You can't go to Xing by yourself."

"You'll go with me, then?" Lan Fan stated, bubbling with excitement.

"Of course. You need someone to watch your back." Ling answered back.

Ed gave Lan Fan a dirty look, as if to say 'how did you not know how he would react, when you are the closest to him?'

He led the two away, and then left them to get a military uniform for Ling.

He came back fairly quickly, and held up the uniform for them to see.

Upon Ed's arrival, Lan Fan and Ling let go of eachother's hands, looking slightly guilty.

Ed glanced at them curiously, and grumbled, "What's with that look? Act more like you're engaged, and less like criminals."

"Xing thinks that we're criminals." Lan Fan said sadly.

"Don't worry about it. We'll fix it." Ling spoke up confidently.
