Plant the seeds so you can grow more lemons.
"Brother, why are you digging in the dirt? We're not lit-I mean... young kids anymore."
Ed gave Al a piercing stare for a moment, but decided not to waste time on a rant. He was in enough of a rush as it was. "I'm planting some lemon seeds. I realized I was running low on my stock, so I wanted to get the seeds in the ground before they rot."
"You do realize it's October, right?"
"Yes, and...?"
"And that means it's the harvesting season, not the planting season."
Ed facepalmed, registering too late that the hand was covered in dirt. Without thinking, he facepalmed about that, too.
Later, after taking a shower to get the dirt out of his bangs, Ed had another idea. I wonder what it would take to make soap out of lemons...
A/N: Shoutout to Griselda Banks for posting an FMA story today, so I could see it in my email, inspiring me to take the roughly 45 minutes left of the day to write something for WLGYL before the end of FMA Day.
The topic of this chapter was inspired by my rush to post something before it was too late.
God bless!
