It was a sunny morning as the boys were in the middle of packing their belongings.
"Good morning Edward and Alphonse Elric! Oh, how I've missed you so much!" Major Armstrong boomed out after he came crashing through the door and decided to give Ed, yet, another hug tight enough to break both his bones, and his metal limbs.
"Another broken door." Al complained whilst shaking his head again.
"Help…me…Al…" Ed gasped as he struggled to become free of this ferocious hug that Armstrong gave to him.
"Brother, you know I'm not strong enough to help you." Al answered whilst still thinking about the broken door and what to do about it. Soon enough Armstrong decided to let go of the golden-haired boy. As soon as Armstrong let go of Ed, a dark haired man appeared at the door.
"I see you three are getting along as usual." The dark haired man said in his casually deep voice.
"Oh…it's you again." Ed complained as he got off the floor to stand up.
"Good Morning Colonel Mustang!" Alphonse greeted with a cheery voice.
"Good morning to you too Colonel." Armstrong greeted in a more serious, but polite manner.
"What a fine morning it is, isn't it Major Armstrong?" Colonel Mustang asked the overly muscled man.
"Indeed it is Colonel." Armstrong replied.
"Let's sneak outta here whilst the Colonel and the Major are talking." Ed whispered slyly to his younger brother.
"Are you boys thinking about sneaking off to laboratory number five again?" Major Armstrong asked, suspicious of what the boys were up to.
"No! Of course not! Why would we do that, I mean the place has collapsed down to rubble hasn't it?" Ed asked, scared of what was going to happen if he did say they were going to sneak out.
"Indeed it has. But I don't want you boys getting into anymore trouble like last time, do you understand?" Major Armstrong asked the two boys who were trembling with fear.
"Yes sir!" The boys replied.
