Trooper Station - Saturday

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

Roy wasn't sure what was going on, but it had to be some kind of Fandom oddity or what not as he was certain you didn't randomly wake up with an eye you lost years ago. Every so often his hand would go up to touch his cheek, feeling the smooth line of a bone that had been shattered.

He was nearly at the end of his pile of paperwork when the door opened and a young, black haired woman strode into his office, carrying reports. She was wearing a uniform that looked suspiciously Amestrian if it weren't for the fact that the skirt of the dress uniform was way, way shorter than he remembered. "Here you are, sir," she said politely, placing the files on top of his pile.

Roy tore his eyes away from the long, smooth legs and forced his brain to focus. Women in miniskirts were nice and all, but this wasn't exactly normal. "I don't mean to be impolite, miss, but what are you doing here? I'm certain it's the Sergeant's job to bring those in."

The woman blinked and stared at Roy as if he'd lost it. "I am the Sergeant, sir."

Roy stared.

"Are you not feeling well, sir?" the woman asked.

"I'm fine," he waved it off. "What's your name?"

"C-" the woman stopped and scowled. "Ralph. Now please stop wasting my time and finish those reports," she said tersely and strode out of the office.

Roy was still staring... and appreciating the view he got as Ralphette left. Sure, this was weird, but one should never complain about a staff in miniskirts.

((Yes, Roy made a wish and all the troopers turned female and are wearing wee miniskirts. Post open, of course.))

Aly had decided that one day spent brooding was enough. More than enough really given that there were plans to be made and actions to be taken and none of the plans involved her trying to kill Umbridge by herself just because she was pissed off.

So she headed down to the station to see this surprise that Roy supposedly had and blinked as she saw the black-haired girl in the troopers' place. Trying not to give away her shock, there was a short conversation before Aly found her way into Roy's office.

"The girl out front wanted to know why I didn't bring Ow. Was Ralph a girl this whole time?"

Roy glanced up from the report he was reading and smiled at Aly. "No, I believe it just happened today," he said. "I'm not complaining."

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

"I would be surprised if you were," she said, stopping in her tracks. "Hi."

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

He tilted his head, having a vague idea what made her stop and for some reason that widened his grin. "Hey."

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

Aly eyed him, scanning as closely as she could for some trace of magic explaining what was going on. She didn't forget to smile back, but she was almost too concerned to say much more. "What happened?" she asked softly.

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"I'm not sure," he admitted, reaching up to touch his cheekbone again. "It happened Thursday evening. I don't think it's Umbridge related. It's not a bad thing," he added quietly. Truth was, he didn't really want to know what had happened.

She smiled and moved closer, forgoing a chair to sit on the opposite edge of the desk. "I wasn't thinking that," she said. "Either that it was an Umbridge thing or a bad thing."

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"I could get used to this again," he said quietly, glancing down at the desk for a second before he forced his tone lighter. "And the miniskirts. I knew it would work well for the amestrian uniform."

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

Aly chuckled. "I don't think I can get used to Ralph as a woman though."

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"No," Roy sighed. "It's the one drawback from all this," he agreed. "Not as much fun as seeing you in a miniskirt for example."

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

"Oh, I don't pull off a uniform very well," Aly teased. "You'll have to forgive me."

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"I don't believe you," he argued.

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

"I'm afraid you're just going to have to trust me on this one," she smirked.

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

Roy shook his head. "Why would I let you underestimate yourself?" he asked.

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

"Knowing my limits is not underestimating," she told him. "And I'd be horrible in uniform."

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"No, you'd look quite lovely," he argued. "Especially in the miniskirt version." Even more so while sitting on his desk.

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

Aly grinned. "Wearing a uniform and being in uniform are two different things as you should know, General. And I think you'll have to settle for Ralph."

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"I'm only thinking of the wearing," he assured her, leaning back in his seat. His eyes flicked up and down her body for a moment and it was a shame she was sitting on the wrong side of the desk. "I don't settle."

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

"If you say so," she told him, far too amused.

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"Mmmmmm, I do," he nodded. "How's your week been?"

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

Aly's face tightened. "I came for my surprise."

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

He glanced up, regarding her for a moment. "That good, huh?" he asked, getting up from his chair and moving around the desk.

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

"That good," she agreed, sliding off the desk to see where he was going.

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

He looked worried, but he didn't ask. Not yet anyway as he motioned for her to follow him. He nodded at Ralphette as they passed by the front desk and lead Aly down to the stairs leading to the jails.

Aly smiled at Ralph and followed Roy down the stairs. "Don't think I would have come if you'd tol me you were going to lock me up," she teased, trying to distract him from her week.
