I do not own Fullmetal Alchemist or any of the characters in this story.

It has been 10 years since the promise day. And Roy Mustang is now the Fuerher. This is the story of a simple phone call from a friend.

The phone started ringing. Roy couldn't be bothered he had a ton of paper work and Riza wasn't getting off his back anytime soon... Why not it'll just be a quick chat.

"Hello?"

"Roy'm boy! How are you doing!"

"Listen Hughes I'm buried in paperwork-"

"Bah your just gonna put it off anyway! You haven't forgotten about ol'Hughes yet have ya?"

"No Hughes how could I? Your always bugging every other hour on the military line..."

"Anyway You can't believe how cute Elysia looked in her decetives club uniform! Her cute little monicle and trench coat..., did you know she's the head of it? But she met some kid there and they started "DATING"... I swear to God if he comes within 15 meters of this house I will shoot him Roy! I have 10 acres of land, a shotgun, and a shovel and nobody will miss the little punk... Plus with my best friend being the Fuerher I'm sure I'll get away with it!

"Hughes... Even if I am the Fuerher that doesn't mean you can go around killing people, or anything illegal in that regard!"

"Oh Roy your no fun though... If you let me I'll give you a 5 hour documentary on Elysia's life with pictures and everything in between!"

"OH GOD NO HUGHES! I can't take a single phone call let alone a 5 hour documentary... Plus you'd probaly end up going over your time limit anyway..."

"You know me to well Roy! It's actually a 24 hour Documentary/Epic/ActionMovie! You should see my little Elysia's acting shes so cute!"

"Hughes you better come down before your Kawaii level goes over 9000..."

"Roy Now is not the time for context incensitive refrences!"

"Oh but it's apparently the time to rave about your daughter!"

"It's always that time Roy!"

"Hughes!"

"Roy!"

"(sigh...) Fine Hughes is there anything else?"

"Nope except one thing... I'm proud of you Roy I always knew you would make it to the top... Now all you have to do is find yourself a wife!

"Goodbye Hughes I'm hanging up!"

*Click*

Roy sighed heavily. As he laid back in his chair his eyes widened open with shock. He quickly called back the number.

*Were sorry but the number you dialed is unavailable!*

"No way.."

Roy ran out of his office at full speed. He bumped into Riza on his way out."

"Sir where are you going-"

He ran past her running non stop, and just kept moving.

He finally arrived at the soldiers cemetery in Amestris. He walked and searched frantically until he came upon a tombstone. It was decorated with flowers from loving family and friends.

A wonderful Husband...

Roy's mind went blank staring at it.

A loving Father...

Roy stared at the place where He was buried.

And the best friend a man could ask for...

Roy dropped to his knees. After all this time his chest still burned when thinking about it. His best friend was buried here, his annyoing, noisy, sometimes bossy, loyal, and loving friend. He was his idiot friend. His name was...

Maes Hughes

1885-1914

As Riza got out of her car and walked up to him she said this.

"Sir we should leave now before you catch a cold. it's "raining" again..."

Roy sat on the ground not being able to stop the "rain".

"After all these years it still feels so normal to talk to you, my loyal friend... Thank you."
