ActualWeeb: WHOO, A REAL UPDATE! I'm glad I got off my ass and finally wrote this chapter, albeit a very small chapter. Sorry.
Ed: Excuse me, aren't you forgetting something?
ActualWeeb: Why must you remind me? I don't own Fullmetal Alchemist.
The can't kill your dreams, so they assassinate your character.

The next morning, Pinako happily announced that Ed was allowed to use the wheelchair. Trisha and Al spent most of the morning wheeling Ed around the Rockbell home. She had to stop Al and Winry from rolling him down the hill too many times to count. It warmed her heart, though, to see the Resembool trio back to their usual antics.
Yes, the day was going quite well, at least until there was a knock on the door.
"Hello?" Trisha smiled as she opened the door, only to be shoved aside as a man followed by a blonde woman stormed inside and grabbed Ed, who was on the other side of the living room, by the collar.
"We went to your house, we saw the floor, what was that?!" the man growled. "What did you do?!" Ed didn't respond.
"Hey!" Trisha yelled, shoving the man aside, who, she noticed by his outfit, was a Colonel. "Who do you think you are, barging in and yelling at a child like that?" The Colonel composed himself quickly.
"I'm Colonel Mustang," he replied. "Are you aware that these boys have performed human transmutation?!"
"Of course I am," she answered cooly. "As I'm the product of it."
The look on his face was something Trisha wished could be saved forever.
"Would you like some tea? I'd be happy to hear your bad excuses for why you treated my child like that." Colonel Mustang nodded numbly, looking terrified.
"Winry, would you be a dear and get the Colonel and his friend some tea?" The girl, who was warily watching the scene in the hallway, nodded and ran to the kitchen.
"You want my boys to be state alchemists?" she frowned, sipping her tea.
"Yes," he nodded. "They're extraordinary talented. Of course, their little crime will be kept a secret."
"And you'll be their superiors?" Trisha queried.
"I'm not the angry man you saw ten minutes ago," Mustang said. "In my anger, I acted rashly. I couldn't believe that a child would do such a thing." Trisha nodded.
"I'm very angry with my boys for resurrecting me," she admitted. "However, I think a lot body, leg, and arm is punishment enough."
"I wouldn't count on my children joining you, Colonel," she continued. "However, if they do, you'll have to deal with me quite a lot." The Colonel smirked.
"Fine. I look forward to seeing a pretty face like yours around."
"Colonel, are you finished?" the voice of Second Lieutenant Riza Hawkeye sounded through the room as she entered. Mustang nodded and stood before turning to Trisha, speaking his words of farewell.
"It was a pleasure meeting you. I'm sure we'll meet again, Trisha Elric."
ActualWeeb: Aaannd scene. To be continued!
