A Happening Kind of Girl

"There's no help for it," Roy sighed, tugging at her shirt to try to get it to close over her breasts. "I think we're going to have to go into work to use the resources it has to investigate what happened to us."

Ed gritted her teeth and clenched a fist. "Right." She pulled on shirts. "I think I can MOSTLY hide the change, at least if nobody's expecting to see ME with BREASTS, but you..." She eyed Roy and how her shirt gaped between buttons, and coughed. "Even if you can get clothes that fit, your voice has gone all..."

Roy blinked at Ed as she trailed off. "All what?"

"...honey-thick and sexy."

"Why, thank you, Fullmetal."

"Stop smirking, ass."

Al whimpered, covered again by a cloak. "Brother, I don't want to go out like this. I can barely walk."

Roy nodded to Al and tugged on a pair of pants which fit snugly at the hips and puddled at her feet. "I don't think you should, Alphonse. Since you're supposed to be inside the suit of armour, it'd be suspicious if only the armour changed."

Al's soft, girlish voice was deeply relieved. "So I can stay here?"

"You can stay."

Ed frowned. "I'm not walking around like this, though," she muttered. "My breasts hurt. ...Oh god, I thought I'd never have to say that."

Biting down on the inside of her cheek to keep from snickering outright, Roy nodded, face deadpan. "I'll call Havoc to pick us up."

They were dressed and ready when the horn honked outside, and hurried out to the car as if afraid of being seen. Which, of course, they were.

Roy settled into her seat with a sigh. "Havoc, to the ba-- HAVOC?"

Jean Havoc smiled prettily at Roy. "Hey, Colonel. Weird, ain't it?"

"You-"

"I have tits." Havoc opened her shirt to demonstrate, cigarette jumping in her mouth. "Like you and the boss, apparently. Is some sort of bug goin' around?"

Ed made a strangled noise and Roy swallowed. "I... apparently there is."

"Huh. Still," Havoc said, refastening her shirt, "it wasn't a total loss. Remember that chick, Marianna, dumped me last week? She's agreed to get back together." Havoc smiled dreamily. "She says I'm so cute and butch."

"...Just drive, Lieutenant."
