Hey guys. I was looking over this story and the reviews and I sort of felt that I left it a bit open ended.
Well, I've had my license since October 20th, YAY, and have been driving on my own for awhile and I only got 14 points off on my first driving test and passed! MWHAHAHAH! I was the first one of my friends, other than my crush but I'm talking about girls XD, to get my license and I've been carting them around and going for errands for my parents.
HOWEVER! I just love being able to drive, and it means I convince my parents to let me do more ice cream and star bucks runs. =3D
Driving Me to Insanity
To say that Roy Mustang was nervous was a total lie.
He was completely terrified.
It was d-day, the day of Edward's driving test; and based on how Edward practiced with him…
Let's just say that there was a reason for why he was having a legit excuse to be distracted by paperwork. However, his lieutenant didn't share his feelings at all as she looked up from her work with a bored, yet slightly aggravated look.
"Sir, Edward will be fine. Now, get to work already." He let out a sigh as he sat up, stretching as well, and grabbed his mighty sword to defeat the evil and cynical forest that had grown on his kingdom… alright… grabbed his pen to sign more paperwork. But: he knew that the evil monstrosity that continuously seemed to sprout up on his desk were waiting for their chance to strike. When voicing these opinions, Hawkeye merely stared at him for a minute before returning to work as did he.
He signed mindlessly as his thoughts drifted back to the possibly mobile blond teen. He mused that the kid had beaten up terrorists, passed the state alchemist test, become the youngest state alchemist in Amestrian history, survived human transmutation, survived it a second time when putting his brother's soul in a suit of armor, and that was only the half of it. How could he fail a drivers test?
Well…
There was that time when Edward crashed the car into headquarters….and the second time… plus the time when he nearly ran over that one old woman…
Havoc refused to be anywhere outside or an outside wall whenever Edward was located in a drivers seat after that one time during the winter… Roy winced as he remembered the incident and held back a chuckle about how the smoker complained nonstop during his hospital stay after that incident.
Then again…he ended up with 2 new cars…well there was only one now…
Weighing his options and pondering about past disasters, he continued to sign, ponder more, sign, worry, sign yet again, worry yet again…you can kind of get the picture…
It was about 2 hours later that Hawkeye finally had enough of the Colonel tapping his pen rapidly on his desk that she stood up, walked over, and slammed her hand down on the desk breaking the Colonel's stupor.
"Sir, worrying over Edward isn't going to help, so STOP WORRYING."
Just then, the door opened to reveal a blond looking confused as he strolled in.
"What's the Colonel worried about?"
"Fullmetal! Did you pass?"
"….is Mustang turning into another Hughes, because he's starting to freak me out right now…" Roy sighed and massaged his temples. How the hell could this kid be so calm now?
"He's been freaking out all day Edward." The lieutenant said with a smile while the Colonel glared, "So how did you do?"
"I passed with flying colors, what'd you expect?" He said with a laugh and pulled out a newly issued drivers license.
"How the hell did you perfectly pass? You ran the car into HQ, you nearly took out loads of people, and you sent Havoc to the hospital!"
"That's because you were in the car with me." He grumbled, "You've yet to remember that you'd bug me every single time and I'd get pissed off…"
"It is true sir, I've heard you two screaming at each other while you pass me on the street."
"Fine, I get it…"
"Hey Hughes…It's been awhile hasn't it? I'd like to thank you for helping me learn how to drive and everything else you did for me an Al. I know I should have told you all of this when you were alive, but I guess I sort of took you for granted; it helped me realize that I needed to at least be thankful for what we have now, instead of only focusing on getting back what we lost.
"Well, I came back to show you that I got my license now! Unlike what Mustang thought, I passed with a perfect score. The egomaniac never realized that annoying the hell out of me while I'm driving is not a good idea.
"Elysia and Gracia really miss you, you know that right? Well, I got you a little gift Hughes. Gracia was keen on getting a picture of Mustang, Elysia, and I in front of my new military issued car, which by the way Havoc will go nowhere near me now. So, here's a copy of that picture and I hope to see you again soon Hughes." As the teen set down the small photo, he stepped back as a breeze of wind whipped the portrait into the air and disappeared into the sky. With a grin, he turned and waved the to grave before heading to his car for a quiet ride home.
Sure, he was grateful to Mustang for taking over where Hughes couldn't anymore. Well, until the next day that is…
"I AM NOT A SHRIMP YOU EGOMANIAC COLONEL WITH A GOD COMPLEX!"
Well, as the saying goes: the more things change, the more they stay the same.
HA. I finished it. XD
