AN: This is going to be a bunch of one-shots about Havoc and Breda pranking Ed. I already have a few written and they are only about a page to a page and a half in microsoft word. All of them are connected. These first two are the closest.
The Fullmetal Alchemist AKA Edward Elric did not scare easily. In Risembool, he and his brother were the ones pulling pranks on everyone and Halloween? Totally their night. It brightened up the otherwise boring town. When Ed became a State Alchemist no one in the military knew this though. So after about a year of being a State Alchemist the people under Colonel Roy Mustang, the Flame Alchemist, decided to prank the not so new newbie. It was just going to be a simple jump out of the closet as he passes by prank. Easy right? Wrong. Jean Havoc was hiding in the closet in the hallway by Mustang's office. Mustang himself knew not of the prank about to go down right outside his doors. The hallway was empty as a thirteen year old Edward walked down it with his little brother Alphonse radio Heymans Breda alerted Havoc that the target was closing in. Havoc then jumped out yelling a rather pathetic 'Boo!'. Al screamed and jumped back, too bad that wasn't how Ed reacted. He reacted rather...violently. His hand swung out, his right hand, right into Havoc's jaw. The automail fist connect slamming the 2nd Lieutenant into the wall. Ed then grabbed Havoc's arm, pulled him forward and kicked him down the hall. By then Mustang came out of his office to see what the scream and bangs were about. What he didn't expect was his 2nd Lt. laying on the ground moaning while holding his ribs and jaw. And the youngest State alchemist standing there with a look of confusion and surprise on his face.
"What happened here?" Roy was trying his hardest not to laugh at his subordinate.
"I believe that he was trying to scare me." Ed said waving his hand at the man on the ground.
"Why would you do that Havoc.?" Roy asked.
"It was supposed to be funny!" Havoc exclaimed. "And how was I supposed to know he'd react that way?!"
Mustang turned towards Ed.
"Al screamed." He shrugged while Al rubbed the back of his helmet sheepishly.
"Well, next time Al, DON'T SCREAM!" Havoc yelled.
"You scared me though." Al defended.
"We were trying to scare your brother!"
"Enough, Breda get out here." Mustang sighed.
"How'd you know?" Breda asked as he handed over the radio.
"Havoc here kept saying 'we'. Now get back to work." They all separated to continue their work.
They wanted to try again, although Havoc refused to be the person who jumped out. This time it was the same closet but Ed was walking in the opposite direction than last time. This time his left side was facing the closet. Al was already in the office waiting for his brother to come back. They came back from a mission but Mustang was out for lunch so they decided to wait in his office. Ed left to use the bathroom but was walking back now. Being on his left was a safety measure so someone didn't get slugged with his automail hand and Al wasn't there because Breda and Havoc thought Ed only reacted that way because to him his brother screaming meant danger. Havoc was waiting for the right time to tell Heymans when to jump out. 3...2...1. "Roar!" Breda yelled.
Inside the office Al heard two thumps and a slam.
Outside Ed kicked Breda with his left automail leg. He hit the wall with a thud. He was then grabbed by the wrist and pushed back into the closet making another thud. The door then slammed closed.
"Fullmetal?" He heard his Colonel ask of the thirteen year old.
"Uh, what?" Breda could hear the confusion in the kid's voice.
"Brother what happened?" Al came out of the office then.
"The same that happened last week but with Breda jumping out. The door opened let the hall's light shine on the 2nd Lt. He lifted his hand in a weak wave to his superior officer.
"Again really?" Mustang sighed. "How bad?"
"Bruised if not fractured ribs and a couple other bruises." Breda replied wincing a bit.
"Wow kid, you can cause a lot of damage with two hits." Mustang said.
"I technically hit him once then pushed him back into the closet. I hit Jean twice." Ed replied.
"Which led to a nearly dislocated jaw and bruised ribs." Jean grumbled as he walk towards them, rubbing his jaw and ribs.
"Why are you trying to scare Fullmetal?" Mustang asked of his subordinates.
"Well it was only going to be a one time thing but it didn't work the first time, so we tried again." Havoc explained.
"So are you going to keep trying until you succeed?" Mustang asked.
The two looked at each other.
"Good luck then!" He smiled then escaped from Fullmetal into his office.
"Colonel!" Ed shouted while pounding on the door.
"Brother, alchemy." Al said.
"You are evil Alphonse he could've been doing that for hours before giving up!" Roy yelled. Ed then proceeded to yell and curse the Colonel until Riza Hawkeye came along and broke everyone up. Mustang never got his report from the brothers did he? Eh, Alphonse will get it to him later.
AN: What did'ya think? Please review and if you have any other ideas for pranks let me know! They have to be ones that would backfire in some way. Hehe.
Havoc: So, are we just going to get hurt in all of them?
Me: No.
Breda: Oh good.
Me: Just most. *smiles innocently*
Havoc & Breda: *Gulps*
Me: If you have any ideas on how the pranks backfire let me know that too!
