[Spamfic] Full Meta Alice
By Henry J. Cobb
"Do you have to do that while it's attached?" Edward "Ed" Elric looked
down at his cyborg right arm, which was currently tied to the arm rest of
his chair.
"Just scream when it really hurts and I'll know I've got the connections
right. Now hold still," Hotaru Imai made adjustments to the arm with
pliers and a screwdriver.
"Your arm wouldn't have been damaged if you had just stayed on campus",
Lieutenant Colonel Roy Mustang, director of the Elementary Branch of Alice
Military Academy, leaned over to inspect Hotaru's handiwork.
"But when Mikan sensed Scar near the Academy ..." Alphonse "Al" Elric's
words slightly echoed in his empty suit of armor.
"But nothing," Mustang cut him off, "You kids need to stay in school and
learn as much as you can. Leave tracking down fugitives to the military."
"What does it matter if we risk our lives now or later, we're still dogs
of the military. Ow!" Ed flinched.
"That's it," Hotaru put her tools back in her belt and closed Ed's arm.
"Your future military obligations are not the issue here," Mustang turned
back to Ed, "The issue is your current irresponsibility."
"Um, who's the title character?" Mikan Sakura asked.
"You obviously," Hotaru answered as she untied Ed's arm, "Since you're
the only Meta Alice around."
"Then what's a Meta Alice?"
"That's it!" Ed flexed the artificial arm that Hotaru had built for him,
"Not only did the author steal the title character status from me, but he
also had to give it to this moron. I'm out of here."
"I don't mind if you go," Mikan replied, "I'd rather have Natsume anyway."
"That pervert? I'm the original tormented boy bishonen. What did he have
to put up with? At least he's still got both parents and all of his
limbs. I'm the one with the award winning anime and you guys haven't even
been released in North America yet."
"You're just jealous because he's better looking," Mikan stuck out her
tongue at Ed.
"Why you!"
"There they go again," Al watched the pair fight as Hotaru and Mustang,
being unarmored, sought cover.
