Brainstorming. (StupidLegos x Username353)

Ed patted her shoulder as she stared flabberghasted at all the kittens hiding within Alphonse's chest. Her mouth opened and closed like a fish gasping for air, trying to find the right words to use in this situation. But she could not find any, at all, so Ed decided to cut the silence.

"I know the feeling, Batman.. He does it all the time.."

Al cooed, ignoreing his older brothers annoyed gaze. "Cuuute kitties...~"

Username353 vaguely recalled when she introduced herself a minute or so ago.

~A MINUTE AGO...~

"My name's ____, but you may call me... *raspy voice* ... Batman."

~Back to the present~

Suddenly she snaps out of it and realizes that Alphonse has a shit load of kitties right in front of her.  She adores kitties and proceeds to snuggle about ten at a time, all while cooing about how much this was like Greece's house...

And then StupidLego flew in from the sky!'

'StupidLego (who we shall call Mar after this) flew down from the sky like so:

"Mar!" User exclaimed, astounded that she met a friend in such a place as this. "What are you doing here?" Mar puffed out her chest in a heroic manner.  

"This is my fanfiction, so it's only natural that I would be here-" Mar's sentence was cut off as a small brown and white kitten nuzzled her ankle.  Emitting an "aw!", Mar picked up the tiny animal and cuddled it, joining the cuddle party that was already taking place with User (also known as Batman) and Alphonse.

Ed continued to watch, facepalming.

Al giggled in his kiddish voice as the three of us squealed and cuddled the kitten. "I wanna keep him.~"

Ed sighed, rubbing his face at his little brother. Sure he wanted him to be happy but.. "Al, we've talked about this... hundreds of times... we can't keep a kitten-"

He was cut off by the sound of to girlish squeals. A vein popped on his forehead as he reeled around on the girls. "And you two! Stop encouraging him with it! Put the stray down now!"

Mar stoped and squinted her eyes looking around for the source of noise. Sure, she heard him but she was here and decided to have a little fun. "Where did that come from? Al, Batman, do you see where that came from?"

Batman paused, looking at Mar in confusion before catching on to her game.  Smirking, she tilted her head to the side and asked innocently, "What? No, I can't see anything!" Alphonse interjected, oblivious to what the two girls where doing.

"See what?" He asked, stroking a black cat that perched on his head.  Ed caught on quickly, his eye twitching as the two girls continued their banter.  

"I heard something though.  But it was such a small voice, it must have come from something really small~" Batman ventured, looking at Ed out of the corner of her eye to see his reaction.  Anticipating an explosion, Batman nonchalantly stepped behind Mar, hoping she would be a human shield from Edward's impending wrath.

Mar bit her lip, trying to hold in her fit of giggles as he looked over at Al who was legitly innocent to the act. "Al, didn't you hear it?"

He titled his head wih a clank, staring at the two of us for a moment as we shook violently, trying to hold in our laughter. "No...?"

Batman snorted and quickly slaped her hand over her mouth, holding onto her human shields back. The shield gasped, puting her hand on heart. "Oh Al, you didn't!?" She received a small shake of the head. A smirk grew on her features as she looked pointedly at a murderous Ed. "I'm not surprised. I don't think even a microphone would have picked up a noise that small.."

Al twitched and sweat dropped as he figured out just what we were doing when Ed grabbed the fronts of our shirts, ranting in our faces. "WHO ARE YOU CALLING SO SMALL THAT A GRAIN OF RICE WOULD BE UNLIFTABLE TO HIM?"

Batman yelped in surprise and laughed as Ed yelled in her face. "Pfft, you said it, not us!" Ed looked like he was preparing to explode. Mar and Batman continued to be throttled by Edward, with Alphonse watching on the sidelines.

"You guys..." he sighed, putting down the cat he was holding. "Stop trying to set him off."

Al walked over and swooped his brother up, trying to hold him back from the laughing girls. "Brother please, they're just messing around."

Ed growled and tried to scratch at us from far away, like the animal we once were cooing over. "I DON'T CARE! LET ME AT EM', I'LL SHOW EM JUST HOW MUCH OF A SHORTY I AM!"

Mar snorted lifted her self off her back, sitting up straight. She looked over at Batman with another grin. "I wonder if every part of him is short.." She busted out laughing again at the mixed looked on Eds face at her comment.

Batman let out a hoot as she understood Mar's joke, clutching her stomach as she sat up laughing. "I wonder how he intended to 'show' us how much of a shorty he was." Batman relapsed back into a fit of laughter, laughing even harder at the nauseated expression on Ed's face as the innuendo registered.

Ed searched for something to say, sputtering out nonsense as he failed to think of a decent reply in his enraged state. "WHY... YOU...!" He managed to spit out, struggling furiously against Alphonse's steel grip.

"Brother, calm down...!" Al said, trying to subdue his raging sibling.

Mar clutched her sides, pointing at Ed as she still shook with laughter. She snorted, slowly dyeing down with laughter as she looked over towards Batman. "His amazing Alchemy skills compensate for it." She said giggling.

Al deadpanned, tightening his grip on his brother as he almost slipped out. At the moment Al was glad he was full armour or this would be extremely painful. "Guys comeone.. that's not very nice.."

Edward let ota series of growls and shouts, shaking his fist the air at the girls. And a certain one being the way she is tuned it out, looking around with a sad expression, calling out for her two calm friends. "Batman.. Al.."

"DONT IGNORE ME WHEN IM YELLING AT YOU!"

Batman ceased laughing and curiously looked at Mar. "Hm? What's up?" Alphonse stopped for a second too, not loosening his grip on Ed but still acknowledging Mar with a tilt of his head.  Even the formerly enraged Ed seemed to stop thrashing around for a moment, noticing the sudden change in the atmosphere.  

Batman came up behind Mar and peered over her shoulder to look at her face.  "Mar?"

She just sat, staring off into the distance for moment with a straight face before slowly turning her head and looking at all three of them. She took in a deep breath and slowly let it out, dragging it along - possibly more than needed - as she opened her mouth. And in the most serious, meaningful voice she had ever used she said, "The kitten ran away.."

A look of despair crossed Batman's face as she wailed to the sky. "NO!" Onto her knees Batman collapsed, burying her face in her hands. For a moment, Ed forgot his rage and looked like he wasn't sure how to react. Alphonse responed in a similar fashion to Batman, though (however he was much less dramatic). He tone was sad and dismal as he looked for the cat's sillouette over the horizon.

"The kitten ran away," he repeated Mar's words. In the midst of all of this, Ed's head spun from the lightening quick change of atmosphere. He still desired to throttle Batman and Mar, but seeing the genuine dissapointment and melancholy in the girls' faces, he felt his anger die down a bit.

Mar growled, suddenly standing up, she swiftly turned around and pointed her finger at the blonde, milk hating Elric. Who looked a bit confused at her new antics. "Its his fault it ran away! His fault!"

Ed rolled his golden orbs at her outburst. Shifting in Als arms to get in a better, comfier position he huffed at her. "It was not! You two started this stupid thing anyway!"

Mar sniffled -unknowest to him - fake tears as she dramatically feel down, putting her head in her hands and 'sobbing'. "He yelled at me! The small, mean midget yelled at me!~"

"Ed! How could you do such a thing! Scaring a kitten away and making poor Mar cry!" Batman scolded, slyly winking at Mar as she gave her "sympathetic" pats on the back. "You should be ashamed! Kitten-scarer!"

Alphonse, not knowing Mar's tears were fake, attempted to console her: "Mar, don't cry, there's more kittens! Ed didn't mean to scare one away, right brother?" Disbelievingly Ed gawked at him. "Who's side are you on, Al?!" "Brother, just say you're sorry!" "But I didn't do anything!" Ed objected, pausing suddenly as his mind replayed what Mar said.

"Mar..." he began. Mar looked up at Ed, her eyes wide and watery. "*sniff* Y-yeah?"

"Did you just call me a midget?"

She stopped sniffling, the fake tears still present as her and him stared at eachother. She coughed once, wiping the back of her sleeve on her nose. She but her lip and batted her eyes at him. "You.. uh.. love me anyway..?"

Al releases a sigh, hanging his head and reaching towards his brother again to grab him if need be.

Ed's face became red and his eyes dark as he slowly walked over to Mar and Batman, his expression dangerous.

"Mar...?" Batman asked, ducking behind her so she could use her as a shield once more.

"Yeah Batman?" She replied, the two girls slightly trembling as the infuriated Elric made his way over to them.

"We should run."

Mar swallowed, watching the angered brother walk towards them slowly. She giggled nervously and grabbed Batmans hand. "Oh yes, let's." Clinging onto her friends hand, she swiftly turned and took off down the road screaming.

Ed fumed, steam coming out of his ears as he took off after them, shaking his fist theateningly in the air. "GET BACK HERE AND ILL SHOW YOU JUST WHAT MOUTHY LITTLE ANT CAN DO!"

"Brother, please! She didn't even call you that!" Al yelled, frantically flailing his arms as he chased after his angry sibling.

And that, dear friends, is the riviting tale of Mar and Batman. They dashed into the sunset, the two Elric brothers following them into the horizon. There is a moral to this story, friends. Never make fun of a legal midget, and kittens are, and always will be, the answer to everything.

What? What happens next? Dear reader, that's the end- oh, fine. They found the cat that ran away, and Ed's rage diminished as Al, Mar, and Batman all cuddled the kitten close.

THE END.
