Ed twitched again, ready to smack Mustang across the face. He held himself back in Watto's presence however. He then turned back to the toydarien to test him. "I could have made you big money if you'd let me race," he said in the alien language. He wanted to see what Watto's response would be.

Watto growled back in the tatooine native tongue, <"As if I'd risk you killing yourself on that death trap... You're much more valuable here.... Even this old man could beat you."> Roy... was appalled, to say the kindest, "What?! I am NOT old! and of course I could beat Edward! He's just a kid! He knows NOTHING about Podracing!" He looked to Ed and secretly winked, "Right Ed?!"

Ed shrugged. "Whatever..." he said and went back to fiddling with his part. As soon as Watto had his back turned, he leaned in to whisper to Roy. "So how are you going to 'injure' yourself and be unable to race at the last minute?"

Roy's smile oozed arrogance, "You let me worry about that..." Grin still in place he swaggered to the door, "Watto!.. Give Ed a break for once... Maybe he'll get a chance to rest... and grow an inch." (( :3 You may fling the thingy at Roy's head as he leaves. ))

As Roy walked out the door, Ed threw his part straight for Roy's head, the thing landed right on the mark. Satisfied, Ed smirked and went to go clean the switches.
~~~
On the outskirts where Riza and Al lived, the girl Naheela snuck over to the little hut and peeked through the window. She saw Al at the table, eating lunch with Riza and waved to get the boy's attention.

Watto, chuckled as Roy, reeling from the hit, fell against the wall, a hand on his newly wounded head. "Better watch it or you won't be able to race ahh? Heheheheheh..." The nasally laugh triggered something within Roy. Acting embarrassed, he pretended to laugh it off and waved a goodbye to Watto. Once outside, however, Roy went around to the side of the workshop, to a small window. Within Roy could easily see where Ed was working. A devilish grin spread across his face as he drew from his pocket a pair of white gloves. -------83------------------
Alphonse glanced up at his plate to look at Riza and then returned to his food. Then something clicked and his eyes nearly shot out of his skull and onto his plate. His mouth still full he slowly lifted his gaze until he looked, not at Riza.... but at the vision that had suddenly appeared at his window. Alphonse barely had the consciousness to swallow his food, oblivious to the fact that he hadn't even chewed twice. Hand trembling, he offered a tiny fingered wave, hoping not to attract Riza's attention. Fate, however, decided to pick on Alphonse that day... his hand, as it lifted, knocked into a sealed pitcher of water, which tipped and landed on a fork, which was launched into the air. Now normally this wouldn't be a bad thing, but the fork was launched quite powerfully and quite directly toward Alphonse's head. His eyes bugged for the second time that day as he watched the fork, flipping end over end, fly at his right ear. He heard it as it zipped past, only just kissing his ear, before sinking it's tines into the wall just behind him.....
(( n.n;; uhm... that was... interesting... ))

((LOL! That made me laugh so hard And what's Mustang scheming? XD)) Ed cleaned the switches out rather fast. He knew if he did this, arranged some of the merchandise out in the junk yard, and sweeped the floor, then Watto would let him go home early. Especially to get some rest for the big day tomorrow. Ed would need more rest than the toydarien would think. ~~~ Naheela gasped and covered her mouth. She tried not to giggle, for the scene before her was hilarious, but she didn't want to get Alphonse into trouble. She felt a bit bad and selfish for wanting to see him right away. She ducked low and motioned to Al to meet her when he can. Riza looked up at Al and blinked. "Are you okay, Al? Is there something wrong?" she asked, noticing Al's strange behavior. ((Okay, you were asking who Ed would get to snuggle with, right? Can I add my OC in XD; You knew this was coming, didn't you? LOL))

Roy donned the glove, the cloth gliding onto his hand until it fit like a second skin. With a smile he slowly raised his hand and closed his eyes.
For a moment, it seemed as though he were a statue, poised with his hand before him in the action of snapping. All at once his eyes opened and his hand was a blur of white and red sparks as he snapped.
The room with Edward was suddenly thrown into chaos as the very air suddenly exploded with just enough force to throw him back with little to on burns. At least, that's what Roy intended... He had held back after all...
With a satisfied smile, Roy slipped off into an alleyway, remote signaling his speeder to pick him up at the opening.
----tah dah~-----
The fork vibrated audibly until Alphonse grabbed it and placed it on the table. "Uhm... No~ no I'm fine..." His appetite suddenly ignited and within moments he had finished his plate. As soon as his utensils hit the table he very nearly yelled, "Thanks for the Food!" Realising his mistake he tried to recover with, "uhh... May I be excused?!... uhh.. I'd like to finish that Droid as soon as possible...." He wracked his brain for a good lie. He hated to do it, but it seemed necessary... He didn't know why it was necessary though.... Finally he spouted, "That way we can head to the Boonta Eve without having to worry~"
(( And Yes.. Go ahead and throw your OC in... 8c but the problem is you'd kinda be playing two people talking to each other... So... I dunno... Your call... -IDEA!- o.o; Uhh... should I play Ed in those scenes maybe? not likely you'd say yes, but... figured I should at least offer to help... n.n; ))

((I guess you could play Ed during those parts X3 Why not))
Riza nodded, still looking at him a bit strangely. "Alright. Just make sure to wash out your dishes first," she said and went back to her own food.
Naheela waited around the back door, waiting for Al patiently. She knew it was wrong to go sneaking around behind the adults' backs, but she loved Al so much she didn't care. She even had to sneak away from her own mother.

(( Only as you wish. n.n -salute- )) Alphonse was smart enough to move slowly and naturally to the sink, wash out everything and walk, not run, to the backdoor to the droid repair bay. Outside the door however, Alphonse booked it like no tomorrow, his legs pumping nearly as fast as his heart was. Thirteen seconds later he had woven his way through the maze of droids and swerved behind an abandoned sand Crawler's track.... .... and nearly collided with the reason he was rushing at all. In his attempt to stop himself, Alphonse leaned backward, lost his balance and landed on his butt... again. Staring up at her, Al couldn't even count the number of feelings that decided to bounce around in his chest. For a moment, he wasn't sure if he was still breathing. His mind kicked him with it's mental foot, COME ON SAY SOMETHING! It's your first time to talk to her! So... He opened his mouth to speak..... "...Hi..."

Naheela giggled and bent over, extending her hand out to Al. "Need some help?" she asked in her cute squeaky voice. ~~~ ((bringing myself in! Yes my OCs name is Cathy Kotonoha. )) A girl with long brown hair tied up in two ponytails hung out around Watto's hut, munching on a strangely colored fruit she had bought at one of the vendors in the market. She sighed and looked up at the sky, shading her eyes with her hand from the duel suns. "I wonder if Ed's off from work yet..." she whispered to herself.

Hoping to save some face, Alphonse stood up on his own, nearly knocking his head against hers, "Uh.. No~ no I'm fine!..." With an embarrassed stutter he added, "I-It's... not the first time I've... uh.. f-fallen today... May start wearing a pillow."
On some ridiculous impulse he took her hand in a handshake, not wanting to leave her hanging there. The moment his hand touched hers, his heart went bonkers and his knees nearly fell out from under him.
(( sounds more like He's got a case of fan-girl syndrome... even if he is a Boy... anyway~ ))
--Watto's shop--- (( I only assume Ed and Roy know about each other being able to perform limited alchemy... I can modify this post later to correct that error if need be. ))
One moment Ed was only 5 minutes away from freedom, the next the world exploded into a chaotic mess of smoke and disarray. "Took me a half an hour to clean up! Grrrrr... next time I see Roy I'll make him eat those stupid gloves...." As he marched out of the shop he barely noticed a familiar silhouette on the ground. After a double take, Ed's anger fizzled out."Hey... I know those ponytails...." Following the shadow to it's source, Ed blinked in surprise, "...Cathy?"

Naheela was a bit confused when Al took hers in a handshake and looked up at his face. She was hoping for at least a hug. "Are you busy today?" she asked hoping that he wasn't.
~~~
Cathy gulped down the last of her fruit and turned to the voice that had called out to her. "Edward!" she said, a bit surprised. "H-Hey...What's up?" she asked and blushed, a big smile growing on her face.

-Riza's Hutt, Shelter- Alphonse stuttered, "Well No... Not really... I... Uhh..." He couldn't focus, not under the stare of those incredible eyes... In his chest, his heart had resumed it's energetic percussion performance. He prayed she couldn't see just how powerful an affect she had on him, but it was a lost hope. Finally, after an awkward silence, he forced out, "I can meet you later... After I fix a... droid." 'Please don't ask how I broke it-Please don't~' (( but seriously...ask. xD ))
----Outside Watto's Shop---
Pleasantly surprised, Ed walked up to her, one hand raised in a half-wave, "Hey Cathy! I, uh, just got off of work. How are you?" He asked, stopping awkwardly in front of her. Almost subconsciously he puffed out his chest the tiniest bit when he realised...'No way... did she... get taller? again?!' (( xD inside the mind... of the shri- *PWNED!* Ed: YOU SHUT UP! KLIK: x.x;; Sorry? ))

Naheela tilted her head, still looking Al in the face, and blinked. "How did the droid break?" she asked, taking a strand of her hair and started twirling it around her index finger. ~~~ ((LMAO )) Cathy, still with the blush on her face, rocked back and forth on her toes. "I'm fine. How's Watto treating you?" she asked, blinking from Ed's strange reaction.
