[Offline / Private]](http://images.Writing.Com/imgs/writing.com/writers/costumicons/ps-icon-regular-10.gif) More by this author As Roy was getting himself trapped in his office, Ed had reached his hotel room and was taking off his red coat. He sniffed the powder to see if it smelt like anything. It didn't.
"I wonder if this stuff washes off?"
He tried to rub it off, but was unsuccesful. He pulled off his boots and socks and was about to remove his shirt and pants when he felt a strange burning sensation through his body. It got worse and worse and Ed gritted his teeth in pain. Finally it was over. Ed, panting slightly, checked himself over to see if he was hurt in any way. After he was sure he was okay, he began to grow. He yelled out in surprise as his head quickly hit the cieling. He crouched down and noticed that his coat, boots, and socks weren't growing even though they had been covered in powder.
"Guess they need to be touching my body when I grow." Ed murmered as his head once again struck the cieling. He was growing more and faster than Roy had the first time he had grown and Ed was soon cramped up inside his room. His bare feet were pressed against the wall with the door while his legs were bent so that they lay flat against the cieling. His head was shoved into the opposite wall with his arms crossed around his chest. It was like being trapped inside a small box. As much as he tried to move Ed could hardly wiggle.
"This isn't good!" He said, still trying to free himself.
Back to Eastern HQ, Al, Riza, Havoc, and the rest of the group were trying to decide what to do with Roy.
"Now refresh my memory. How did this happen?" Havoc asked.
"I brought in some mail for the Colonel." Riza said. "It was an unlabeled box."
"Then, when Lt. Hawkeye left, the box exploded and white dust covered Col. Mustang, Ed, and me." Al continued. "A note was inside the box telling us that we should enjoy the experience."
"And then I assume this happened to Roy." Havoc said, indicating Roy.
"Yes, exactly." Al said.
"Alright we know what happened." Fury said. "But how do we reverse it?"
"How should I know? I don't know alchemy." Havoc said.
"Do you have any idea Colonel?" Riza asked.
Roy thought about his knowledge in alchemy and realized he had no idea.
"I'm afraid not. I've never heard of something like this happening before."
"Maybe someone in Central will know." Al said.
"I suppose it's worth a shot." Havoc said.
Fury picked up the phone and dialed for Central.
"Hello? This is Eastern Headquarters. We've had an alchemic accident down here and need help. You'll send who? Alright....if he knows what he's doing." He hung up.
"Who are they sending?" Havoc asked.
"Major Armstrong." Fury said. "He claims to have the most knowledge in alchemic accidents."
"I'd better go check on my brother. To make sure he hasn't got in any trouble."
Al quickly left, not wanting to be around when Armstrong arrived. He quickly ran over to the hotel where they were staying and found the room they were staying in. He opened it and Ed's right foot pushed out and shoved him against the wall.
"Al? Was that you?" Ed said.
Al managed to maneuvre his head between Ed's big and second toe to say, "Yes! I'm okay!"
"I'm sorry Al! I didn't mean to hit you like that."
"It's alright. But can you move your foot?"
"No. I'm wedged in here too tightly to move!"
"This isn't good..." Al said.
This entire ordeal was going from bad to worse. Enjoy the experience indeed... Where will this story go next? Your choices are below...
