A/N: Ok so I am way rusty, I haven't written a fanfiction in forever. Please be nice, the format, grammar and punctuation will get better as I go. Not being in school blows. I think my IQ has dropped substantially. My apologies if this story blows hard, I haven't read/watched/cosplayed or even thought about FMA since mid-2006. I recently started to want to get back into it. So I am re-reading it as I write my little story. The original anime sucks so I am not bothering to re-watch it. If you notice any of the cast breaking character too much or if I kill their names let me know and I will fix it ASAP. I am not a noob just a lazy bastard. Please write me reviews with how I can improve my writing or flow. I would really appreciate it. Thank you for reading my fiction.

Disclaimer: I do not own FMA (Full metal Alchemist) I simply own this fictional story that happens to have its characters in it.

Rated "m" just in case. There may or may not be a lemon. I will be sure to make a note of it on the chapter before it happens in consideration to my younger readers.

Setting the Scene: It takes place in no particular time era during the manga or anime. This fiction is loosely based off the manga.

Romance within the Ranks

Chapter 1

The Adventure Begins

Central Headquarters

Her heels clicked together as she brought her hand over her eye in a salute. "Stand at ease Lieutenant Hawkeye." She was nervous; it was uncommon to be pulled into General Grumman's office, even if he was indeed her grandfather. The General smiled as the door behind the sharpshooter opened. "Ah! At last, Colonel Mustang, Now we can finally begin." The Flame alchemist stood next to his first Lieutenant and saluted. "At ease Mustang." The general readjusted himself in his seat and folded his arms on top of his desk. "I am sending the two of you out on an undercover mission." The old man shuffled through some paperwork before handing each of them a packet. "Recently in Drachma, Women have been going missing left and right. The people of Drachma are nervous and suspicions are leaning towards alchemists. They are in a state of unrest and if Amestris sits back and does nothing while their women go missing, it could endanger the already shaky peace treaty we have with them." The old General sighed. "Right now they will not let us or any foreigners into the country to investigate. That's why we are sending you in undercover as two Drachma citizens."

"SIR!" Roy snapped his heels together. Grumman nodded as if to tell him to continue. The flame alchemist then cleared his throat. "How are we going to fool their government, without the official passports and birth certificates required for crossing the border?" Grumman grinned.

"I was hoping you would ask Colonel. " He pulled two more files out of his desk, quickly scanning both of them and handing one to Roy and the other to Riza. "We were asked for help in the investigation by a high-ranking couple within the Drachma government. That couple will be staying here posing as you two and you will return to Drachma as them." He cleared his throat and quickly drank a sip of water. "They are ranked high enough, that if you stay below the radar you won't have to worry about investigations or searches at the border." Roy nodded. "This will also give you better resources for gathering information." The blonde stepped forward.

"Permission to speak, sir!"

"What is it, Lieutenant?" General Grumman coughed.

"Not that I am complaining, but why were we the ones chosen sir?" Grumman chuckled.

"Look at the photos on the files." He pointed at the papers in her left hand. Both officers glanced through the paperwork. "You're most certainly not identical to them, but you are both outstanding soldiers who both look quite similar to the people in these photos and you two work together quite well." He shrugged. "My decision was quite easy, though it will be sad to miss our Sunday dinners first Lieutenant. I think you two will do an excellent job." He poured himself a glace of water. "Read over your profiles carefully, due to those two's political standing you will have to stay in character the whole time, to not arose suspicion. If you get caught we will have to deny sending you, or that you have any affiliation to the Amestrian government. You will take the fall. We cannot risk anymore tension between our two countries."

"Yes SIR!" Both Riza and Roy saluted in unison.

"The military will be putting your luggage together for you. Please wear what we send. We need you to look as much like them as you can. Please Show up here at Central tomorrow at 0500 sharp! Do not be late!" The aging General glanced at Mustang. "We have to get you your makeovers done in time to get you on the first train out." He wiped his forehead with a cloth he pulled from his pocket. "This is very important, so do your best! You are dismissed."

Riza Carefully analyzed the photo laid out in front of her. It's not too much of a change I suppose. This is going to be a bit odd. She sat the photo down and began reading over the files of information on the person she was to become. She licked her thumb and began skimming through the pages. I have to be an entirely different person! How am I going to do this! The sharpshooter rubbed her temples. Pay attention Riza! You only have tonight and the four day train ride to get this down pat. I am not going to endanger Roy and blow this mission!

Truthfully Riza hated undercover missions. She rather enjoyed easy-going desk work, and watching over her fearless leader from the shadows. She was a soldier, not an actress. I guess it won't be so bad. At least I can still watch his back.

Roy looked down at the small photo on his rather messy table. He grinned smugly. This will be easy! All I have to do is dress snappy and get a little scruffy! Finally a chance to see what I look like with facial hair! He rubbed his chin as he skimmed over his profile. "HA! I am married to Hawkeye!" His grin flipped into a frown. "Dang! This guy is way different then me! This mission is going to be very long!" He tossed the files on the ground next to his shoes. "This should still prove to be amusing; I will deal with this in the morning." The flame alchemist stretched and jumped into the shower.

Chapter 1 End
