Drabble Post - Something New (FMA)
This year's drabble for October 3rd went through a few mutations before the final version. Here's a sillier early version that I decided was worth posting here.
Something New
"Remember, no matter how many stupid questions they ask or even how stupid they are, you have to be patient.”
His brother glared at him. “I know that.”
"And, I know you," Al answered as he felt the train beneath them lurch into motion. Outside, Resembool's green hills began to roll past. "And, what you learned from Teacher. So, no throwing the chalk. Or the erasers. Definitely no chairs.”
Ed scowled, though it was half faked. "Do you want me to cancel this lecture? I already don’t like it. I'm not the teaching type."
"It's one guest lecture." Al smiled. "Besides, it'll be a good day to try something new."
Ed frowned, adding dates in his head.
Tomorrow, the day of the lecture, would be the third.
October 3rd.
He shot Al a rueful smile.
Maybe it would a good day for something new.
And, Al hadn’t forbidden throwing shoes.
