December 1st - Riza Hawkeye -
It was a crisp day in Central. The park was covered in leaves and children ran around in coats and scarves, playing tag and chasing their pets while parents watched closely as they talked to one another.

In the midst of brown, dull reds and yellows, whites and dark green, there was a women standing alone in a bright blue uniform. A loyal dog by her side. She didn't know why she decided to take her lunch break here instead of the lunchroom at HQ, Bu here she was. 'Colonel Mustang had better not try to skip out early.' she thought grimly, then a group of children ran past and she smiled.

One girl stopped in front of her. She sharply looked down and raised an eyebrow. The girl was around seven years old, light brown hair and green eyes. Riza could barely see her face because of her hat and scarf. The girl giggled out a 'Hello!' the first-lieutenant kept her face and replied.

"Hello, may I help you with something?" The kid's eyes got a bit larger and bit her lip.

"May I pet your doggy, please, lady?" at that the dog in question look up at his master as if in question. She let out a tiny smile and moved down to her knees.

"Of course you may, may I ask for your name?" The girl beamed and started to scratch Hayate behind his ears.

"My name is Holly, I was born on Christmas, I can't wait, it's coming soon! How about you lady, what's your name? Do you like Christmas?" Wow this little girl could talk. To be honest, the blond women didn't so anything for Christmas outside of making cookies for the rest of the command and Mustang. But his girl, Holly, was just shining in a way she had to smile at.

"My name is Riza Hawkeye, and yes, I love Christmas."

"Do you have a tree, are you going to get to see your family?" Hawkeye was glad she was good at keeping a mask.

"Not for my apartment, I buy one for the office, and only get to be around my command, but they are like children…"

The girl patted Hayate on the head one more time and stepped away. "I have to go, bye! And Merry Christmas! I hope you have fun with your friends!"

Riza watched with a small smile as Holly left, skipping and humming a Christmas song. Maybe, just maybe, she could try to try to have a better outlook on the holidays this year and maybe even go easier on Mustang…with that thought she turned on heal and started her walk back to HQ, Hayate on her heals.
