"What?" Roy asked, not believing what he was hearing.

"We're all going Ice Skating." Ed repeated for probably the forth time already.

"Why ice skating?" Roy asked.

"Because Hughes wants to" Ed replied with a shrug.

"I don't think I want to." Roy replied in the same casual manner, hoping it would be that easy.

"Alright" Ed answered with another shrug, and then turned towards the door.

"That's it?" Roy asked, shocked that it was actually that easy.

"Yep, I'm not going to argue with you." Ed told him with a smirk.

Roy didn't' like that smirk but nodded at Edward as Ed opened the door. Roy didn't realize until it was to late that Ed had only said "I'm not going to argue with you"

"ARMSTRONG" Ed yelled out the door

"No Ed!" Roy yelled, but it was to late.

"Yes Ed?" Armstrong asked, appearing instantly at the door.

"Roy doesn't want to go ice skating. I need your help….persuading him." Ed told the big man with a wink.

"Of course" Armstrong answered walking into Roy's office and facing Mustang. "Colonel Mustang" He said with a nod. After that formality, he walked around Roy's desk, picked Roy up and walked out of the office. The whole time everyone within earshot heard "PUT ME DOWN! LET ME GO! THIS IS AN ORDER! PUT ME DOWN!!!" all the way down until he was thrown into an open car door driven by Hawkeye.

"HAWKEYE! Not you too" Roy exclaimed as the car started going.

"Sorry sir, but they had a point when they told me you needed to have some fun in your life." Hawkeye replied with an apologetic shrug.

With Armstrong on one side of him and a tin of metal otherwise known as Al on the other side of him, he knew he had no chance of getting out of the car so he sat back and sulked.

"How is this fun when I'm forced to come against my will?" Roy asked, hoping Hawkeye would see reason.

"Why are you being such a baby about this?" Ed asked from the passengers seat.

"I am not acting like a baby" Roy said, sounding offended.

"Could have fooled me. Is the great Flame Alchemist afraid of a little ice?" Ed taunted. Armstrong,

Hawkeye and Al all tried to muffle their laughter at this.

"I am not afraid. If anything you all should be afraid I'll melt the ice from underneath you for making me come" Roy retorted, glaring at the grinning blond.

Ed rolled his eyes and returned to looking out the window while Roy continued his sulking the rest of the way to the ice skating rink.

When they got there Armstrong got out first and looked at Roy, blocking the doorway. "Are you going to come in by yourself or do I have to carry you, sir?"Roy glared but answered "I'll come in myself, thank you"

"Big baby" Ed whispered loudly

"I heard that!" Roy snapped as he got out of the car."You were suppose to" Ed replied smiling sweetly.

Roy marched out of the car and straight to the entrance of the ice rink, so angry he forgot that this would be the opportune time to escape until it was to late.

Once at the entrance he was greeted by Hughes, who clapped him on the shoulder "Glad you decided to come Roy" Roy opened his mouth to tell Hughes how he had, in fact, not decided to come at all but was cut off by a tugging at his coat. "Can you hold my hand, Roy? I don't want to fall" Elysia asked, looking up at Roy with a smile.

Roy wasn't mad at her so he smiled at her and said "Sure, Elysia"

He now had no way to leave, he had just promised his god daughter he'd skate with her. He sighed but went over and rented a pair of skates and then went to put them on. Elysia came up to him grinning and holding out her hand.

Roy grabbed hold of her hand and they took off on the ice. Roy was a little wobbly, having not skated in years but Elysia was doing really well for her age. He was impressed. She led them out to the middle and Roy was so focused on keeping up with her and keeping his balance that he didn't pay attention to where she was leading them.

All of the sudden he felt Elysia let go of his hand and then he hit a bump and went flying….straight into a pile of snow.

He got up and looked around to see everyone, Hawkeye, Hughes, Elysia, Al, Falman, Furey, Havoc, and Gracia, laughing at him. The only two he didn't see were….

He was suddenly picked up out of the pile of snow by Armstrong who set him on his feet, eyes twinkling "You should really be more careful sir, if Ed here hadn't transmuted some of the ice into a pile of snow you could have really gotten hurt" Roy looked at Armstrong's twinkling eyes and then past him to a doubled over laughing, Ed and knew he had been set up. He glanced over at Elysia doing circles around everyone and Hughes laughing at his daughters antics and realized she was never afraid of falling, suddenly remember some of Hughes babble about how he took her every chance he got. He then looked back at Ed who was still doubled over in laughter and just knew he was the one who had set him up.

His glare was back as he started skating towards the laughing blond. Ed noticed just in time and started skating, quickly, in the opposite direction, throwing a snow ball from the pile, over his shoulder at , who got hit in the face with the snowball, got off balanced and try as he might to keep his balance, found himself falling towards the ice, the whole way he fell he yelled "EDWARD ELRIC!"
