Step 21
A/n: Number twenty - one! I’m so sorry I haven’t written in such a long time! My computer has been down and when my Mom finally had it fixed in time for school about three weeks or so ago I had to focus entirely on school to get caught up. But now I’m back in action! I’m hoping I can keep up with my weekly updates now.
Envy: It’s about time. I was starting to get bored.
Sakura: I can’t help it. No computer, no write.
Ed: The only thing that matters is that you’re back right?
Sakura: Yep!
Envy: Until mid-terms. Then she’ll have her nose in a book for two weeks like a certain Chibi - san I know.
Ed: Envy!
Sakura: Can we get on with it? Please? We can talk about my school life later.
Envy: She doesn’t own us. If she did imagine how long you would have waited for the next episode.
Sakura: Envy!
Ed: Envy!
Envy: What?
Sakura: (Sigh) Nothing.
Step 21
A girl with short brown hair walked along the halls of military headquarters of Central. Her emerald green eyes scanned the hallways from behind her glasses as she kept herself from dropping the stack of files and from bumping into people.
Shciezska gave a smile of relief only to cry out in surprise as someone knocked into her from the front. Papers and file folders went everywhere and so did her glasses. The brunette sighed before trying to find where glasses went. “I wish I could use my photographic memory to find my glasses. Just see where they land and there I go.” She thought sighing.
A voice said. “Here you go, Shciezska.” and she found her glasses being handed to her. When she could see again she noticed the one that had tripped her was none other than Edward Elric. She could feel her mood brighten immediately.
The flaxen haired teen gave a sheepish grin before saying. “Sorry about that, Shciezska. I wasn’t watching where I was going.” She just shook her head smiling and started to pick up the papers that had been dropped. “It’s alright. I’m used to it. People are always running into and knocking me over.” She said timidly.
Ed knelt and started to pick up the files before handing them to her. “Um . . . Shciezska? Are you okay?” He asked anxiously. “I’m okay Ed. I was just feeling a little down that’s all. It happens to everyone.” She replied wisely. She then spotted an orange wrapper and blinked, picking it up.
“Oh, that’s mine. Must have fallen out of my pocket.” stated Ed. Shciezska locked her green eyes on him and said firmly. “You do realize how dangerous those Reese’s cups are, right?” Golden eyes filled with confusion as he blinked. “They’re just candy.” He said baffled.
“That’s what they want you to believe.” She said determinedly, green eyes narrowed. “Who?” asked Ed. The brunette took a calming deep breathe before replying. “The aliens.” The golden eyed alchemist let his jaw drop slightly as he stared at the mousy girl in front of him in disbelief.
Shciezska held up a hand to stop him from talking. “I know you’re probably thinking ‘Everything is so clear now!’. Let me tell you you’re not the first one realize at last what’s happening.” She explained.
“And what is that?” asked Ed weakly. “That’s easy, Ed. The aliens are brain washing us to be their unyielding slaves by using Reese’s cups. And look! Their plan has proven to be successful! Soon they’ll be coming down from the mother ship and then we’ll all be doomed!” She explained becoming depressed once again.
Ed was giving a sort of bemused look. “So . . . Uh. . How will you protect yourself from the invasion even though you won’t be brain washed?” He asked.
She beamed at him and said excitedly. “I covered the entire inside of my house with foil. I read in a book that some alien species couldn’t get pass it. I even made a helmet out of a pot just in case they try to brain wash me or make me want to eat Reese’s cups so they can try to brain wash me. I have everything covered.”
Edward gave a nervous smile and stood quickly. “Sure sounds like it. I gotta go. I have a meeting with Mustang. See you later.” He said waving as he turned the corner.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Edward glanced briefly over at his companion that was walking at his side. Long dark green hair and pale skin made it obvious who it was. Violet eyes turned toward him curiously and he looked away feeling his face heat up.
An arm wrapped itself around his waist and his blush deepened but he still leaned into the embrace. Then he noticed as they neared a store a familiar head of brown hair.
Shciezska looked around at her fellow protesters with pride then she spotted a familiar blonde alchemist and immediately walked over to him. “Hello, Edward!” She said cheerfully waving.
“Hey there, Shciezska.” He said smiling. Ed then remembered that Envy was with him and blushed but still said. “Shciezska, this is Envy. Envy, this is Shciezska. She’s a friend and a co worker.” The green eyed girl smiled at the boy in front of her who had been surprised just moments ago but was grinning again now. “Nice to meet you, Envy.” She said.
He just nodded watching her with violet eyes. “I don’t really work with Ed that much. I work mostly in the information department with Lieutenant Colonel Hughes. Ed was the one who got me the job after I recreated Tim Marcoh’s research for him. I had accidentally read it while working for the library.” She explained.
Envy looked surprised then amused and proceeded to looked down at Ed. “Naughty Chibi - san. My lips are sealed this time. You are going have to make it up to me some how though.” He murmured. Shciezscka couldn’t hear what Envy had said but whatever he had said had made Ed blushed bright red. But she did hear what Envy said next. “Thinking naughty thoughts, Chibi - san?” She felt herself blush but then mentally shook herself.
“Oh yeah? What are you doing here, Shciezska?” asked Ed curiously. “We’re trying to get the stores to stop selling Reese’s cups so we can stop the brain washing and save our planet.” She explained. The flaxen haired teen sighed while Envy was grinning widely.
“Shciezska, trust me there are no aliens. Reese’s cups are just candy. Highly addictive candy but still candy. Not brain washing candy. Alright?” explained Ed patiently as he would to a child. “Alright, but I do know aliens are real. Ms. Juliet Douglas is one! She’s an alien! Oh! She’s so creepy and scary. And no one sees her walking around buying groceries or anything. See?! Alien!” She stated fearfully.
Ed shook his head before looking at the green haired sin out of the corner of his eye. “Why did Envy tense up just then?” He thought confused. “Ms. Douglas is not an alien. She probably just doesn’t like people that much so she goes shopping really early or really late.” He said and watched as the green eyed girl nodded reluctantly and murmured. “Alright.”
“Good, see you later Shciezska.” He said. “Bye Edward. Bye Envy. Nice meeting you.” She said before turning around and starting to disassemble the group of protesters.
Ed turned toward the green haired sin and said concerned. “You were pretty quiet during the whole conversation. Why?” He just shrugged. “I noticed it at Teacher’s too. You always became quiet unless we were alone or with Al.” He stated. Envy looked down at him with a raised eyebrow. “I didn’t realize you paid so much attention to me. I didn’t talk back there because the less she knows the better and as for that M and M woman. You think I wanted to join you and you’re brother in that little game of yours? Let’s see who will pass out first the great Chibi - san or his tin can brother. Happy now, Chibi - san?” He purred.
Ed glared at the grinning sin but gave in and nodded. “For your information, I didn’t want to play that game either.” He muttered. Envy just gave a snicker and tightened his hold on his waist.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next day Ed knocked on Shciezska’s door while violet eyes looked at the surrounding area already bored. He knocked again harder this time. “Let’s go. She’s not home.” muttered a very bored sin. Edward felt a feeling of deja vu and dread filled his entire body.
The door was unlocked as he pushed it open against something. Envy looked surprised then he smirked. “That’s called breaking and entering, Chibi - san.” He stated. Ed could only let his mouth drop open at the sight that awaited him. Envy came up behind him and whistled. The room was filled with mountains upon mountains of Reese’s cups.
He blinked as he heard a small voice. “Help me. Help me, please.” His eyes widened even more then he turned toward Envy and said hurriedly. “We have to get her out of there!” Envy tilted his head to the side pensively but nodded anyway. He gave him a grateful smile and leaned up, brushing his lips against the sin’s.
He pulled back blushing but Envy was grinning again. They both start to dig the brunette out. When they had finally dug Shciezska out, Ed had collapsed panting while Envy simply drew him onto his lap causing him blush and protest. But he just sighed and gave in, leaning back against Envy’s chest. “Besides it’s not so bad being in his lap. That thought should bother me but for some reason it doesn’t.“ He thought.
“Sorry about that, Ed. I took your advice and I wanted to try a Reese’s cup but because I was at work I had to order them from the factory. And then they brought so many I had to move my precious books into my bedroom. I just didn’t realize candy could be so heavy.” She explained timidly. Ed smiled and replied. “It’s ok. Just be more careful next time, okay?”
He moved in time to see Envy reaching for something. “Envy? What are you doing?” He asked curiously. “Hmm? Just getting something.” He replied nonchalantly. Ed saw Envy grab a Reese’s cup but was too late to stop him. A sense of dread started to fill him and then he was covered in little orange wrappers.
He couldn’t feel Envy anymore nor see him. “You just had to do that, didn’t you?!” He said angrily. “Che, I didn’t know if I took that one it would fall. I thought that one was safe.” stated Envy exasperated. He let out a loud sigh and then there was silence for a few minutes while he was trying to think of a way to dig himself out. Then he heard Envy say. “I wanted you covered in chocolate again but this wasn’t what I meant.”
Sakura: There! How was that?
Envy: Chibi - san? How come you attract all the crazy people besides yours truly?
Ed: I have no idea.
Sakura: Hey! What about me! I’m not crazy!
Envy: Oh? How do you know?
Ed: He’s just mad that I was covered in Reese’s cups again but not chocolate.
Sakura: You don’t want to mess with me Envy.
Envy: Really? Maybe I do.
Ed: (Drowning out Sakura and Envy) Like old times, right?
Ed: Please read and review!
Sakura: (Stops arguing) I want to thank everyone who has been waiting patiently for this chapter and for those who have reviewed. Thank you so much.
Envy: Are you going to cry now?
Sakura: No!
Envy: Oh?
Envy and Sakura: (Starts arguing again)
Ed: (Sigh) Please read and review.
