14th Teddy Bear [Video]

[asobouyo]

[Elicia woke up, stretched with a wide yawn, and then discovered sleepily that it was cold and her bed was a familiar tree log. Oh—

Oh, they let her go...! She remembers being confined to a cell, but they hadn't really done much but feed her really nasty food. And give her nasty syrup. So when she starts walking through the forest, she finds they actually gave her shoes and a long-sleeve for her troubles. Her hair was let down from the usual pigtails, giving a little extra protection for her ears. So... she was actually doing pretty well.

Hm. Which way was home...

She puts on her best brave face and opens her journal.]

I'm sorry I got lost, but the bad guys let me go... Papa, are you there? Don't worry! I'm okay! I was really brave!

[The sudden realization that she's okay and back in a safer place brings a few tears to her eyes, and she wipes them away.]

I'm sorry I left, but I'm here, s-so... I wanna go home now.

I missed you too, Elicia, and... and we can spend the night some other time okay?

Are you alright?

[asobouyo]

I'm okay, sis. I just woked up out here in the forest, but I know where it is, 'cause it's where I woke up when I very first got here!

[How could she forget this little patch of land, what with the blue people and umbrella-hat-wearers and the cool guys with swords and dragons...]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Can you tell me where that is? I'll bring you a jacket. It's pretty cold out there.

[asobouyo]

Uuuum...

[Okay, so it's not as easy as she thought it'd be. 8|a]

I don't know exactly... But I know which way home is!

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Do you know where you'll be when you come out of the forest? Even a picture would help, Elicia.

[asobouyo]

I'll see the school! I'd run into the back of it!

[She's seen it plenty of times, and when she was led back out by Alphonse and Keiichi, that was the first sign of civilization she'd gotten to see—which was also quite exciting, mind you.]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Okay, I'll get your dad and we'll start looking for you from there. [She'll keep her journal open if Elicia needs her, and throws a coat on. Quickly she'll hurry over to Hughes' place.]

[idkmybffroy.livejournal.com]

[ No worries, Winry- Hughes will meet you on his way out of the building!

He's even got Elicia's coat ;^; ]

[asobouyo]

[Well! Since you're on your way, Elicia decides it'll be good if she just sits on that log and waits. Maybe kicking her feet and humming and wanting that jacket you have, papa :')

It sure is chilly out here.]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

[Winry won't take time to talk to Hughes. Instead she'll simply give him a nod as she heads from there to the school. She'll be power walking, but if Hughes sprints she will to.]

[idkmybffroy.livejournal.com]

[ Power walking is good. It's very good. He's saving the sprinting for when she's actually in sight. ]

[asobouyo]

[Like she is now? Because tick tock—not even a few minutes later, there they are, and she's already up and on her feet when the two are finally in view, hands up and ready for some hugs.]

Big sis! Papa!!

[Honestly, there's nothing worth being upset over to her anymore. She was kidnapped, yes, but... she was back now. And there was part of her family. So it was all okay.]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Elicia! [Winry will quicken her speed, but allow Hughes to reach the little girl first. She is his daughter after all.]

/starts tracking >__>

[idkmybffroy.livejournal.com]

[ Were there supposed to be words to express his joy at the moment? SORRY, NAH. Expect to be scooped up in short order, Elicia. ]

[asobouyo]

[SCOOPED UP.

And hugging for dear life, papa.]

Are you okay, papa? The bad people didn't hurt you, did they??

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

[Winry will simply watch from about a foot away and smile. Thank goodness they were back together. It was only right. Also she's trying not to cry because this is so damn heartwarming.]

[idkmybffroy.livejournal.com]

Of course they didn't! I'm absolutely fine! [ And making doubly sure that you are as well, h-he's so glad you're back ;_; ]

[asobouyo]

Promise? Pinky promise, even?

[And glad to be back! ;_;]

[She gives Hughes a smooch on the cheek, because this is definitely something a papa would need after an ordeal like this!]

Big sis! You came, too!

[She lowers her chin into papa's shoulder, frowning.]

But it's cold outside, so you shouldn't stay out too long.

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

You're right, Elicia. Why don't we go inside? Then we can talk about the sleep over we wanted to do.

[idkmybffroy.livejournal.com]

That's a very good idea. [ He has the best daughter ever, sob. ] Why don't we get your coat on before we get moving?

[asobouyo]

[Waaaa, my coat! The one with the pink fringe!! 8D]

You brought it for me, papa? Thank you!!

[She'll just bounce down to the ground and continue her little dance with her hands up. Now that he brought it up, it was kinda... cold outside! Fancy that!]

We can go inside and have some hot chocolate! Can we, can we~?

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Sure, I'll make it!

[idkmybffroy.livejournal.com]

[ Big smiles while Papa helps you into your coat, little lady.

Like he could say no to anything right now. ]

[asobouyo]

I'll help you, big sis! I'm good at making chocolate milk, so I can help you with that, too, I think!

[She nods, and once that coat is on clings to Hughes's leg.]

[asobouyo]

[Her smile falters under the mask of her father's pantleg.]

I really missed you, papa... Thanks for waiting for me...!
