A/N: Here is my tribute to Halloween. I tried to proof read it and I changed some mistakes, but I don't know if I got them all so tell me if you see any! Enjoy!

Riza stares out the window of an autumn day. She saw many people out in costumes. It was Halloween, a holiday she was not looking follow to enjoy. Her Halloweens had the same old tradition, around six to eight; she would pass out candy for all the little kids on her street. From eight to midnight it would be the Halloween Costume Party at Central Headquarters. The party was going to be the worst. All she would do is sit and stare at Colonel Mustang dance with all the girls in the military except her. Sometimes he would bring his latest slut to the party and make all the men jealous and all the women personnel want to grab a gun and shoot the slut dead. She doesn't even know why she goes. Maybe it was because she believed that there was a chance for her to get a dance with the colonel. But it was hopeless. He doesn't even care for her anymore. Roy just treated her as his subordinate. There were many times when she wished that she could go back to the times when her father taught Mustang alchemy. They were so close, like friends but when her father died, the Roy Mustang she use to know change and moved on.

Back when Roy lived with her and her family, she used to love Halloween and can't wait for it to come every year. Every year she would pick a costume and got trick-or-treating with Roy. Roy usually complained because he thought that his was too old to go trick-or-treating but Riza always changed his mind. The best Halloween she had with Roy was her last. She could never forget want had happened. It made her realized that her crush on Roy turned into love. But now she wanted to forget. Roy had made her feel lonely and lost in the world when he left for the military and she had to made her make her own decisions about life since her father was gone. Then when she finally found him again in the military, but by then, he started to date other women. He didn't care for her anymore. It was as if their friendship had been ignored, as if they had never met until they were stationed in the same unit, and that Halloween night they spend together was just a dream. She felt heartbroken and hated him, but she could never leave his side. There was still some love that was still left that kept her by his side.

It was going to be a couple of hours until the kids start to go trick-or-treat so she decided to take a nap and dream about that Halloween night.

---Riza's-Dream---

A girl with blond cropped cut hair stare out here window waiting for the sun to set. She was excited. It was Halloween; she had a cool costume, and a very handsome friend coming with her. When she saw that the sun was setting she run toward her room. While running she bumped into someone in the hallway. They both fell on the ground.

"Ouch that hurt. Riza, you should really watch out where you are going," the black hair teen said getting up.

"Sorry Roy. I just got excited. It is Halloween and the sun is setting. I want to get in my costume and you should too," Riza responded. She too got up from the ground.

Roy sighed, "Do I have to go trick-or-treating with you? I mean, aren't we both too old to go trick-or-treating?"

"We are never too old to go trick-or-treating!" she protested.

"But you are fourthteen and I'm seventeen, most people stop when they are thirteen and you keep making me go," he complained.

"Please! I bought you a costume and everything! Just go with me for one more year!" Riza begged.

"You said that last year. I'm tired of it." Roy started to walk away.

"If you don't go with me, I'll tell my father that you told people you taught yourself alchemy and that you wanted to learn alchemy just stay here because you like me and want to get laid by me," Riza black mailed. A smirk appeared on her face.

"Hey that's a lie you made up! Why would I want to have sex with you?" Roy argued back. His face turned red in the thought of having sex with Riza.

"Well, who do you think my father will believe? His only daughter who he knew that she would never lie to him or his apprentice who is known for making up excuses at school just to get out of doing work and tends to flirt with girls a lot?" Riza stated. Roy was outsmarted. It was written all over his face.

"Fine, you win. I will go with you," Roy gave up in defeat.

"Good! Now get into your costume." Riza run along into her room. She heard him groan but she knew when the night ends they would both be happy.

When Riza was ready, she waited for Roy to come downstairs. She was wearing a spy costume that had its own working pistol that shoots out beads. She loves guns. She was not one of those girly girls who wanted to be princess or mermaids. Riza heard footsteps coming. She had picked out Roy a costume and he was going to be a super hero. She couldn't wait to see him in that. When Roy came down she was disappointed. It was not he costume that she had got him. He was wearing something else.

"Hey! That's not the costume I gave you! It looks like a military uniform," she complained at the sight of Roy.

"Well it is a military uniform. In fact, it's my military uniform" he told her.

"Why do you have a uniform? You're not in the military," Riza said.

"I will after I finish my alchemy training. I will become a State Alchemist and help out my country." He grabbed Riza's arm and headed out the door. "Your father said that my alchemy training is almost complete so I signed up for the military. I will be leaving in early January."

"But that's in a few mouths! I don't want you to leave. You are my friend! I don't want to lose a friend!" A tear ran down her face. "You could die!"

"Don't worry Riza," he said trying to calm her down. "Once I become a State Alchemist, I will be a major and have subordinates to protect me. Anyway, I won't die so easily."

"But you are useless at doing paperwork if you are a major. I heard they have lots of paperwork!" Riza said. Roy face turned irritated.

"I don't care if I have paperwork. I will protect my country and stop trying to make me stay!" Roy yelled at her. She started to cry more. "Riza please stop crying. Let's go out and get some candy."

Riza nodded, "Ok." She wiped the tears from her face and they left the house. After they rounded the neighborhood twice, they decided to head back to Riza's house. On the way there Roy spotted on of his friends.

"Hey Roy, you still trick-or-treat?" his friend called out. "Are you still a kid or something?"

Roy felt embarrassed that he had to find him trick-or-treating. "Well I have to watch after this kid right here," Roy replied and pointed at Riza.

"Hey! I'm not a kid!" Riza defended herself.

"Whatever, kid. Roy you want to come to a Halloween party it is down at the next street. There will be lots of cute girls there," his friend beckoned.

"Alright, but what about her?" Roy asked.

"We could let her come too," Roy's friend suggested. "Hurry up and make up your mind kid before I get ticked that all the hot girls are already taken thanks to you."

"You want to come?" Roy turned to Riza.

"But I'm still in my costume," Riza state. She didn't want to get embarrassed that she was the only one wearing a costume. Roy wore a uniform as his costume but that didn't look strange since he knew lots of hid friend were joining too.

"It's ok Riza. Look my friend Josh is wearing a costume too." Riza looked at the guy you asked if Roy wanted to go to the party. He was wearing a costume too, he was a zombie. There was fake blood on him.

"Ok," Riza answered and they headed toward the party carrying their candy bags.

The party was loud and there were many people Roy's age. She felt nervous being in a room full of juniors and she was the only freshmen there. Roy walked to one of his other friends and they talked, laughed, and talked some more. There were girls who came up to Roy and flirted with him and he flirted back. Riza sat in a chair against the wall alone. She wanted to leave so she got off the chair and headed towards Roy. When she got there she saw that one of his friends had poured alcohol in a glass and dared him to drink it and Roy agreed. She couldn't believe that Roy was going to drink. Riza didn't want him to be drunk or have a medical problem for drinking under age. She pulled out her toy pistol and aimed at the glass. As Roy was about to jug it down, she shot the glass and it broke. Everybody turn to where that had come from and were surprise to see a little girl holding a pistol.

"Riza what are you doing?" Roy yelled at her.

"I should be the one saying that! You tried to drink alcohol!" Riza yelled back.

"So what? Why can't I?" Roy asked with sass in his tone.

"You are under age and I want to go home now!" she claimed. Roy let out a sigh and said bye to all his friends and left with Riza.

"You really know how to embarrass me and ruin my fun don't you?" Roy whined at her.

"It is not that, it is because I care and that if you did do that I would just tell my dad the story I told you earlier." Riza let out an innocent looking smile.

"It's not a story it's a lie," Roy said.

"Whatever let's go and eat our candy," Riza said carry her candy bag and Roy's. When they got back to Riza's house, Riza eagerly dumped all the candy onto the floor and sorted out her favorite candy and the candy she didn't like. Usually all those candy were given to Roy. After the sorting was done, Riza immediately started eating her candy. Roy on the other hand had to clean after her. "Roy you should eat some candy too." Riza handed him a chocolate bar.

"Uh…ok. Thanks," Roy responded and grabbed the candy bar. He ate the candy bar and once he was done Riza handed him another.

"You are going to help me finish all the candy before midnight," Riza declared. Roy took a deep breath and ate the candy bar. Candy bar after candy bar, Roy started to look sick. Maybe she had gave him too many of them. She went to the kitchen and got him a glass of water and handed it to him. He drank in down. It didn't help much, Roy couldn't sit straight anymore. It looked like he was drunk, drunk from the sugar of the candy.

Riza got worried, "Roy are you ok? I think you should go to you room and lay down. I'll help you up the stairs." Riza lift Roy and put one of his arms around her shoulder and dragged him up the stairs. If her father wasn't busy doing his research, she would have gotten help but she had to lug Roy up the stairs alone. I was hard because he was heavier than she was but she made it up and to his room. She laid him down on his bed and tucked the covers over him. As she left something grabbed her arm, it was Roy. She felt shocked that he could still move his arms since he could barely move his legs. Roy pulled her in hard and she landed on top of him. She got scared. Roy looked at her and kissed her on the lips and then passed out. She was in shock did he wanted to kiss her or was it because of him being intoxicated by sugar? But it felt good.

---End-of-Riza's-Dream---

Riza woke up and yawned. She looked at her clock to see that it was 5:45. The kids would be coming to trick-or-treat soon. She poured two big bags of candy into a bowl and left it on her coffee table. That night always confused her even today. Why did Roy kiss her back then? Was it on purpose or just because of the sugar? All she knew was that he kissed her and she liked it. But she knew it would never happen again. Roy doesn't notice her feelings, he doesn't even notice her. He only notices her when he wants her to finish his paperwork or when she saves him for something.

She was deep in thought until she heard a knock on her door. It was time for her to pass out the candy. As Riza opened her door, she was surprise that it was Roy.

She saluted quickly. "Good evening sir," she said in a neutral tone.

"Good evening Riza," he said with a smirk on his face. She was getting tired of that smirk. He does it everyday and that smirk also got him many dates. But none of the dates were with her.

"So what are you doing here sir?" she asked. Roy frowned, he thought, 'Why does she have to act all serious whenever I'm around? What happened tot the happy Riza Hawkeye I knew back then?'

"Come on Riza. We are not in the office so you don't have to act all formally." Roy walked into her house and sat on the couch.

"I didn't say you could come in, Col-, Roy." She slammed the door and walk towards the couch. She felt annoyed. She thought about Roy just awhile ago and now he is here?! How can this get any worse? Roy grabbed a piece of candy from the bowl, unwrapped it, and ate it. "Roy those are for the kids!" she scolded. "You can't eat them!" She took the bowl away from his reach.

"But one piece won't make a difference!" Roy whined.

"Well if you were a kid in a costume maybe I would give you some candy," Riza mocked. "Anyway, you didn't answer my question. Why are you here?" she demanded.

"Well I just passed by and thought I could talk to you." Roy stood up and walked towards Riza. He place one of his hands around her waist. It made her feel nervous. "I want to talk about us," he said in a soft sweet tone. Was he going to kiss her? Then something hit her.

"Roy, your seductive ways won't get you any candy you know," she whispered in his ear softly. Then she slapped him across the face and pulled away from his grasp.

Roy rubbed his face. "Your good, you saw right through that. I guess that is the reason way you are my right hand woman," he complimented her.

"Shouldn't you be with your date right now and choose out your costumes?" she asked. There were traces of annoyance in her voice.

"No not this year. I think I will make at the guys of the military jealous and mad that I took their dates." An amuse look appeared on his face. He could imagine the men looking desperate that they were left dateless because of him. Especially Havoc.

"Alright now can you leave now?" Riza was getting more irritated by every minute that was passing.

"Sorry I can't. I want to see your costume for the Halloween party," he said.

"Wait until the party." She grabbed him by the arm and dragged him to the door. Roy clung to her body to stop her. It looked like he was hugging her. When she was about to open the door, there was a knock. She knew it was from a trick-or-treater. Riza opened the door. There was a little girl with dirty blond hair dressed as a black cat and a man with blackish brown hair wearing glasses carrying a picture of his daughter and was dressed up as Cupid with pants.

"Trick-or-treat!" the two cheered. The man caught a sight at Riza and Roy.

"So Roy, you finally chose a wife?!" the man said. "I can't believe it would be your own lieutenant!" Both Riza and Roy blushed. They just realized that Roy was still clinging on to her like a hug.

"Hughes, it is not want it seems," Roy defended himself.

"It is true sir, I was just trying to make him leave before he eats up all the candy," she said.

"Aw! I thought you two were finally together!" Hughes whined.

"Hughes, are you going to wear that at the party tonight?" Roy asked.

"Of course I am! Gracia is going to be my goddess." Hughes smiled.

"Auntie Riza! Are you going to go to the party?" Elysia asked. She was carrying a huge bag.

"Of course I'm going. I promise Maria I would go. Do you want some candy, Elysia?" Riza smiled at the cute little girl. She really loved kids. Sometimes she wished she had kids of her own but that would mean getting married. Also having kids would mean she couldn't be with Roy as much to protect him. The little girl nodded and Riza gave her a hand full of candy.

"Isn't Elysia cute! That costume is perfect for her!" Hughes bragged.

"I think I will leave now Hawkeye. The more I spend here, I more I will be annoyed by Hughes," Roy said. She saluted him and he left.

"You know, he does like you. He is just denying his feelings," Hughes whispered so Roy couldn't hear if he was trying to listen in on the conversation. That surprised her. Was it a joke?

"Sir, I think you had too much candy," she suggested.

"No I didn't. I think you are denying your feelings for him too," Hughes said and left to the next house with Elysia. 'It was going to be a long Halloween,' Riza thought.
