Just a little fun, nothing really good. R&R if you would be most kind.

It was Ed's first time to Central Military HQ. Understandably, both he and his brother were very disoriented and uncertain, but with the help of several friendly young secretaries on various floors and in various departments, the Elrics had finally made their way to the office of (now Colonel) Roy Mustang and crew. Edward was understandably feeling very cocky when they finally arrived.

"Hey, Mustang!"

Al slapped a hand to his forehead.

"Hm? Oh. Are you..." Mustang looked down at a note on his desk.

"Wait." He looked up at Ed suddenly. "Edward Elric?"

Ed sprouted his huge, cocky grin and raised his right arm up to show it off.

"Didn't recognize me, huh?"

"I-...I was sure you would've grown!"

Little Edward's ego deflated like a punctured balloon.

"And that is why Brother hates the colonel."

"OhhHHhh."
