Writing on Ribbons with Ink
that awkward moment when you look out the window, and realize that you can’t tell if you’re looking at the sky or a thin cloud

“Oh, that’s easy. I’m sure Reid’ll do it. So! You should probably tell him, or have the Fuhrer do it or something, because then he’ll know it’s true.” She nodded. “And I’ll go look into beaches. And things.”

“In which case, you have my blessing.  Go find the best man-made beach in Amestris, or enjoy your stay in Xing.  I expect a postcard or two.  And maybe a photo upon your return of any of Roy’s embarrassing moments.”

“Excellent~! I’ll be sure to take lots of them, then.”

“But if Roy’s off on a vacation with me, then he’s not trying to kill homunculi and stop your evil plans to rule the world or whatever. So by taking him off on a date-vacation, I’m clearly working for you.”

“That’s actually partially true.  Listen, I’ll make a deal with you, Leanne.  If you can find someone to do his paperwork for him, I’ll force him into vacation for two weeks.  That should be plenty of time for you to travel somewhere, seduce him, and then come back home.”

“I might have to go out of country for that. If I do, you’ll have to convince the Fuhrer to let him take the vacation. But! If I can find a man made beach, that works too.”

“I’d convince the Fuhrer, but at the end of the day, he’s working for me, thus Roy is working for me, thus you will be working against me.  But go on ahead.  I hear that the Xingese desert that you’ll have to cross is lovely this time of year—beautiful sunsets, mysterious dunes, killer plagues of insects.  Perfect for a date.”

“Well, first I need to invite him to the beach, so I need to pick a good one. With lots of guys and no women. You know, so there’s no one else for him to look at.”

“I’m addled as to how you’re going to be finding an all-male beach in the middle of a land-locked country, but do go on.”

“I might have to go out of country for that. If I do, you’ll have to convince the Fuhrer to let him take the vacation. But! If I can find a man made beach, that works too.”

“Well, that certainly explains things. I hope all of that sun didn’t go to your head and burn your brain as well.”

“Of course it didn’t. In fact, it helped me think of a fool proof plan to turn Roy into my boyfriend!”

“A fool-proof plan?  Oh, this’ll be good.  Do tell.”

“EVERYONE NEEDS ADVICE. Also, yes it has. I went on a vacation to another country to escape my lack of a boyfriend. Unfortunately, all the hot guys were jerks so I came home once I got a tan.”

“Roy says it looks very nice.”
