Disclaimer: Champion Jack: Thanks! Even if I don't like a ship I'll write for them, so I can definitely do some Ash X May for you : ) Lumpycheez: I'm so glad you liked it! ; w ; YOU totally made MY day with that comment X D I wish pokemon could be here when I was sad, too. Or my fave anime character. Either works. Olihmajor: I think they're really cute, too! Thank you! Yep, that joltik was named after one of the subway bosses; Lumpy mentioned in one of her reviews that she had a joltik named Emmet, so I decided to incorporate that into the story. Romantic: I love Brendan, too! Even though I squeal whenever Alexial and Steven have a moment, I think that Brendan and Alexial should get together! : 3 ThetrainernamedSilver: Thanks! Of course, I really enjoy writing the pokedex entries! Mangaanimefan4eva: Thanks for adding this to your favourites, and me to your favourite authors!

Question:

My Answer:

Characters: Iris X Cheren, as requested.

Summary: A request from Artemis.

FMA

"No," Cheren said for what he hoped was the last time.

Iris, decked out in her blonde wig and military uniform, clasped her hands in front of her. "Please, Chere?" she whimpered. Her lips trembled at the corners, her brows slanting above her large, tear-filled eyes. "Please?"

"No."

"If you really, truly love me, Cheren, you'll do this for me."

He shifted, uncomfortable. "That's below the belt."

"Fine." With an overly dramatic sniffle, she drew herself up, wiping at her eyes. "It's nice to know you feel that way." Turning, she began to walk away.

He whipped his glasses off, and growled a sigh. "Alright," he ground out, a string of curses following the words. "Alright, I'll do it."

She wiped the heartbroken expression off her face in an instant, whirling to envelope her boyfriend in a hug. "Thanks so much!" she squealed in his ear. "I knew you'd come around!"

An hour later, Cheren stood at the costume party, Iris wrapped around him.

"What are you dressed up as?" Black asked.

"Roy and Riza, from FMA," Iris announced proudly, tousling Cheren's already mussed hair.

And as Cheren recited the periodic table under his breath, trying to stop his face from flushing, Iris reflected that they should've dressed up as Ed and Winry instead.
