Hey readers! Welcome to the slightly edited version of All That I Got! I don't really listen to Fergie, but I was listening to 'All That I Got (The Make-Up Song) and it kind of inspired me, so it goes from there.
Disclaimer: Sadly, I don't own Fullmetal Alchemist or Fergie or her songs. Maybe I will someday… *starts plotting*
Riza Hawkeye walked right past Roy Mustang and his date, pretending not to notice they were there. She sat down at an empty table and graciously took a menu from a waiter. Yes, Riza was dining out at an expensive restaurant. Alone. She knew there were plenty of men who would enjoy taking her out, but no, the one man she wanted wasn't available.
Riza could clearly hear the flirtatious laugh of Roy's date. She cautiously looked over at his table. What she saw did not surprise her.
Seated across from Roy was a gorgeous young woman. Her honey coloured hair fell in perfect waves to her elbows, her shiny blonde locks framing her heart-shaped face perfectly. Her eyes were blue – a cold, icy blue, in Riza's opinion – that lit up with every word that came out of Roy's mouth. Her flawless face (no doubt caked with make-up) was not at all hard to look at. With every girly giggle, the woman revealed straight, pearly white teeth. Of course, she was clad in a low-cut designer blouse and a micro-miniskirt. Perfectly beautiful and perfectly disgusting. A perfect match for Mustang.
Riza sighed. Would the Colonel ever notice her? Would he ever think of her as anything more than as a friend and subordinate? Probably not. He could have so many other attractive women, why would he choose her? He had no reason. Riza didn't wear much make-up, she wasn't flirtatious, and she wasn't one of those bubbly, perky girls who were never seen in anything other than hot pink miniskirts; why would Roy be even at all attracted to her?
The waiter came back. Riza ordered her food and handed the menu back. She stared down at the neatly folded napkin. 'You know what? Screw him. If Roy wants to waste his oh-so-precious time with whores who are just looking for a good time, he can go ahead. I'm not going to stop him'. Riza felt blood rush to her cheeks as she grew more agitated. 'We'll see who protects him now. It definitely won't be me!'
Realizing what she had just thought, Riza gasped. 'No! What am I saying? I don't care who Roy dates, I always have to protect him… because I have to, because I promised him, because I love him…'
Riza shook her head to get rid of the ridiculously strange thoughts as her food arrived. Her meal looked absolutely scrumptious - too bad she had no one to share it with. Before she dug in, she couldn't help but look over once again at Roy and his date.
They looked pretty damn happy. Roy was wearing his trademark charming smirk and little-miss-perfect was giggling like a schoolgirl, most likely over something he had just said. Ugh, how repulsive. But wait, what were they doing now? Roy's date was smiling and staring into Roy's eyes. The blonde leaned forward and…
Riza looked away, disgusted. She didn't want to see Roy and his date anymore. Their lips had locked, and even though Riza wouldn't admit it, she felt a pang of jealously and resentment as Roy and his date continued kissing.

Riza silently put the accurate amount of money on the table after she had received the bill. She didn't care how much extra cash she was leaving on the table, she just wanted to get away from the Colonel and his stupid, trashy date as soon as possible.
What was wrong with him? Didn't Roy see that woman was only in love with him because of his looks and his charm? 'When will that idiot start thinking straight? He needs to go for a real woman, one that'll be there for him… nurture him… protect him.' She sighed and shook her head. 'Hopeless.'
Riza got in her car, and a second before she closed the door after her, she heard a very familiar voice. "Lieutenant!" Riza stepped out of her car to see Roy, arms linked with his date. "Riza! What a coincidence you're here!" Roy smirked his mischievous Roy Mustang smirk and looked back to his date. "Amy, this is Riza Hawkeye. She's my First Lieutenant."
Roy's date, now classified as Amy, smiled sweetly at Riza, but said nothing. Riza managed to plaster a polite smile back and said, "Hello, Amy. It's a pleasure to meet you."
Roy looked back to Riza. "So Riza, who's the lucky man accompanying you tonight?"
Riza smiled back nervously. "There is no man, Sir. I'm just enjoying myself, here, on my own." 'He just had to say that in front of Amy, didn't he? Oh well, I guess Roy will never learn to think before he speaks.'
Roy blinked, then raised his eyebrows and flashed an easy grin. "Ah, I see. Well it must be nice to get away from everything once in a while. I hope you enjoyed yourself. Oh, and by the way, it's Roy outside the office, not Sir."
"Yes si- Roy."
"Well, Riza, have a good evening."
"Yes. You too."
"See you at the office on Monday."
"Goodbye."

Riza drove home furiously. Amy! So that was her name. Just thinking about her made Riza's blood boil. How Roy looked at her… how his eyes sparkled when he looked at her… how he kissed her so passionately… it made Riza so angry to see the man of her dreams with another woman. Oddly, Riza somehow felt betrayed, as though Roy was cheating on her. She shook her head furiously, trying to get rid of her ridiculous thoughts.
Riza wanted tonight to be a relaxing evening for her to forget about work and the stress that accompanied it. Unfortunately for her, it had an opposite effect – thoughts were whizzing though her frazzled mind, and she couldn't seem to stop feeling sorry for herself. To sum it all up, Riza felt awful. And the only person who could make her feel better was the source of her problems.
What was her solution?
