[fic] FMA: Little Red Riding Ed

[ickaimp]

We gave myself a challenge a while back... write a No Pairings Little Red Riding Ed fic.
Got a solid plunnie for the full fic... then lost the ending about the same time that the Elric brothers get lost in the fic... ^^;; Sorry.
So is a mostly no pairings Little Red Riding Ed fic. ^^;;

... ever notice that we ended up doing a Little Red Riding Hood story just about every fandom? Heh.

++ Little Red Riding Ed++

Brother is not Little Red Riding Hood.

Just making that perfectly clear before someone accidentally says something and they end up as part of a wall. ...Again.

Oh... You mean you hadn't heard about that? Never mind then. I didn't say anything.

Nothing!

Alright, alright! Just set that down and I'll tell you! You'll only get hurt if you hit me!

... Thank you.

It all started when the Colonel went to the Hughes family household and Garcia-san was reading a bedtime story to Alicia and Colonel Mustang overheard it.

And evidently started laughing so hard that Hughes-san almost called the hospital. Or Lieutenant Hawkeye. It took a while to get the story out of the Colonel, but Gracia-san had been reading 'Little Red Riding Hood' to Alicia and the Colonel had connected it to someone else.

So it may be Brother's fault that his coat is red, but the hood does come in handy when it gets cold or rains.

Do not bring up the height factor, please...

Hughes-san saw the comedy in that as well, and by the next day all of the Colonel's office had heard about it. And a few other people as well. I never would have expected Ross-san to be the type to slip the book of faerie tales into the stack of Brother's reading. I think she just wanted him to lighten up a bit...

But it got worse when we arrived headquarters from Risenbourg, Brother carrying a basket of baked goods from Auntie Pinako for 'That nice muscular man who escorted you last time' and the Colonel.

Which would have been okay if they hadn't moved the Colonel's offices because of... I think they called it an insect infestation? to several other floors away, resulting in us getting lost in headquarters and having to ask Fury-san for directions.

Fury-san is not very good with directions.

Neither is Havoc-san.

Breda-san is just terrible.

By the way, did you know that they have a karaoke room there? Neither did we. And poor Brother... everyone wanted to know what was in his basket. It almost felt like we were being stalked the entire time we were wandering around headquarters.

It took forever to finally find the right rooms, then everyone was insisting that THEY could take the treats out of Brother's hands and deliver them to the right people. Brother protested that he could take care of his own baguettes, thank you and for them to keep their hands to themselves.

Needless to say, poor Brother was very irritable and defensive about anyone getting close to us by the time that we finally found Mustang's office. It seemed like everyone was after Brother's goodies.

I think Mustang's amused look when Brother set the basket down on his desk was the last straw. Baked goods are not supposed to be used in such a manner, alchemy or not.

But that is why it's not a good idea to bring up Little Red Riding Hood around Brother.

LOL! Very amusing. Err.. contrary to the opinion above I sort of DO want to know what happened to the baguettes. At least I think I want to know, but it's possible that I'll turn about the same color at hearing the answer as I did when you explained to me the humorous part of my random comments about my gerbil getting loose..
