Hi Readers,

Ok chapter 2 is also going up today, I am working on chapter 3, 4 and 5 at the moment and just for the record the chapters will most likely get A LOT longer as I go along and get back into the swing of writing.

Hope you enjoy the chapter, like I added at the end of the first chapter I am not overly happy with it, but I will eventually come back to edit it the way I like because right now I just need to get the words out of my head and onto my computer screen!

Love,

.Wicked.


It had been 3 weeks since I had come to Eastern Command under Colonel Roy Mustang and so far I was enjoying it, except Mustang took every opportunity he got to rub me the wrong way.

"Good morning Kitten, how we feeling this morning hmm?" Mustang asked as I slumped into my desk next to his office.

I simply glared at his chipper expression.

"Colonel, I realise you take great delight in my inability to function before 9am, but if you continue to get in my face I'm going to have to kill you" I replied stonily.

Mustang laughed loudly, I winced.

"Kitten you couldn't kill me if you tried"

"Don't test me sir."

"Good morning Cat" Havoc called as he walked into the room, I smiled and waved.

"Morning Havoc, how did you pull up after last?"

"Now, now Kitten don't tell me you're fraternising with your colleagues hmm?" Mustang tsked.

I rolled my eyes "Why? Are you jealous Colonel? If you must know Havoc had a date last night and stop calling me Kitten!"

"Why on earth would I be jealous of any poor sap you've sunk your claws into Kitten?"

"I pulled up ok, the date didn't last very long though" Havoc sighed looking dejected.

"You're so funny Colonel. Oh no! How come Havoc?"

"She used to date Colonel Mustang, and when she found out I worked for him he was all she could talk about" Havoc slumped into his chair.

"Ahahaha I have stolen another one of your girls Havoc, my apologies Second Lieutenant but what can I say the women love me" Mustang winked.

I scoffed "The only women that love you Colonel are the ones with IQ's that I can count on my hands"

"Am I sensing jealousy from you now Kitten?" Mustang smirked

"You're confusing disgust with jealousy" I spat.

"Come now children, theres work to be done" Hawkeye walked in, a stern look directed at Mustang and myself.

"Yes Lieutenant" We said in unison.

"Haha you two are as bad as one another" Breda laughed at us as he strolled in with Falman and Fuery.

"Two peas in a pod" added Fuery

"WE ARE NOT!" We screamed in unison, which caused the others in the room to giggle.

"Colonel, we have paperwork to do" Hawkeye gave her icy stare to Mustang.

"You're right Lieutenant, come on all time to work, you to Kitten" He winked at me.

I shuddered and Hawkeye sat down at her desk next to me.

"Would it kill you guys to get along for just one morning, I dislike playing babysitter, dealing with the Colonel is enough" Hawkeye sighed.

I laughed "Sorry mother, I just can't help it he likes to rub me the wrong way"

"He is like that with everyone"

"I don't take shit from anybody though, particularly not my perverted superior."


Mustang's phone rang loudly startling both myself and Riza. When he hung up Mustang cleared his throat and turned to us all.

"Team! We have a very important mission, we are taking a trip to Rush Valley!" Mustang yelled excitedly…as he does =_=

"Why are we taking a trip Colonel?" I asked

"Well my little Kitten, you see the Fuhrer has decided to send us there because there seems to be a bit of an uprising in regards to a shortage of automail parts and metal, apparently the trucks and trains are mysteriously losing all the cargo going to Rush Valley and that being the main source of income there, well its causing a problem."

"So are we going there to find out where it's all disappearing to then?" Falman asked.

"Yes, we have to discover who is taking it, where they are taking it to, find it, bring it back and arrest the bad guys, sound easy enough? And then we get a full week of paid holiday at the hotel we will be staying at once the job is done, any more questions?"

"When do we leave Colonel?"

"3 days from now, so get packing we'll be gone for several weeks"

"So you're saying I have to spend the next few weeks living and working with you!" I cried out in dismay, Mustang smirked.

"That is exactly what I'm saying Kitten, you'll enjoy it I promise"

"I highly doubt that sir."


It was the night before we were leaving for Rush Valley and Riza and I had pretty much exhausted ourselves packing for the trip.

"Who knew I had so much crap!" I said exasperated, flopping down onto the couch.

"I know the feeling" Riza said attempting to zip up her suitcase.

"Well I feel we have earned dinner out, I really don't feel like cooking right now"

"Sounds good to me Cat, I'll feed Hayate and we can go, ok?"

"Ok, I'll meet you out front."

Riza and I were walking around Central's main tourist area looking at all the restaurants, trying to decide what we felt like. We ended up deciding on this cute little restaurant with a very attractive waiter, which I promise had nothing to do with why we chose to eat there...really.

"Good evening ladies, can I take your order this evening?" The waiter asked.

I flashed my best smile at him and quickly had a look at his name tag.

"Sure thing…Adam, my names Cat and this is my friend Riza, what would you recommend for us this evening?" I asked batting my eyelashes.

He blushed "Er lovely to uh meet you ladies, I would recommend the pasta its really delicious, oh or the pork!" he added quickly.

Riza smiled "I'll get the pork then thank you"

He nodded and wrote it down, then looked at me.

"I'll have the pasta thanks Adam" I looked up through my eyelashes at him and Riza smirked.

"No worries ladies I'll bring that out to you as soon as they're ready" he said, smiling at us both before whisking off to the kitchen.

"Damn I forgot to order drinks" I huffed.

As if on cue Adam came back out with 2 glasses of wine and placed them in front of us.

"On the house ladies."

We watched him walk away and I grinned at Riza.

"Well I think we made quite the impression there"

"You made the impression you mean?" Riza said with a laugh.

I shook my head "You don't give yourself enough credit lady, you're a strong beautiful woman, men notice that, trust me"

"Haha whatever you say Cat."

Adam brought out our mains rather promptly and got us another round of drinks on the house, it was only when I was about to tuck into my pasta that I noticed a couple directly behind Riza. Sitting there was none other than Colonel Roy Mustang with what I could only assume was one of his dates.

"Oh god"

"Whats wrong Cat?"

"Colonel butthead is right behind us, with a date"

Riza turned her head, spectacularly subtly might I add, to take a look.

"Oh goodness, I hope he doesn't drink too much we have to leave so early tomorrow morning" Riza said with a sigh.

I sniggered "Maybe we could leave him behind"

It was then that Mustang looked up from his date and noticed me, at first he looked taken aback but then he grinned.

"My, my, my is that my little Kitten I see over there" He called out.

His date turned around excitedly "I didn't know you had a kitty cat!"

I couldn't help but laugh out loud and even Riza had to giggle.

"No sweetheart, he is talking about me" I said to the buxom blonde with a wink.

She looked confused so I helped her out "My names Cat sweetheart, but Colonel Mustang over there calls me Kitten."

"Oh, well hunny bunny, if they're your friends we should sit with them" She added

Mustang look briefly in horror and then the smirk returned "I think you're right doll"

It was then my turn to look on in horror and Riza had to stifle a giggle and hide it with a cough.

"Good Evening Colonel" Riza nodded to him as they pulled up to our table.

"Good grief I can't escape him" I muttered

"Good evening Hawkeye, Kitten"

"Good evening Colonel"

I was playing with my pasta not looking up as I listened to Mustangs girl, Crystal, talk.

"And so I said to her, my hair has ALWAYS been styled this way so she had to have taken the idea from me and then she said that she didn't want it anyway because apparently it was out of style, totally ridiculous right? I mean I look great and I don't mean to brag but it's the truth people like her are just totally jealous right?" The girl said looking around at us.

Riza just nodded politely and Mustang was too busy staring at this womans HUGE personality so I offered some advice.

"Crystal, honey, you are so totally and completely right I mean, people they just take out their own insecurities on girls like me, you and Hawkeye but its just because we're blonde and we have more fun you know what I mean? Its not our fault our hair is superior to theirs in so many ways, we can't help the fact our hair is beautiful" I mocked her, not that she noticed.

She seemed enthralled and nodded vigorously.

"You are so on the same page as me Kitty Cat, I mean I know I'm gorgeous and I'm sure being ugly is like totally hard but girls just need to not judge me I can't help it if I'm prettier than they are, they should just aspire to be like me you know? I'm like an idol, anyway I have to go to the ladies room, be right back babe!" She added sliding out of her chair.

I made a muffled cry as I bashed my head on the table.

"Something wrong Kitty Cat?" Mustang smirked

"Don't you dare start calling me that you bastard, GOD that woman didn't even notice when I was taking the piss out of her! How do you date these women Mustang!"

"She's hot, who cares how smart she is."

"You're an idiot Colonel" Riza added, shaking her head.

"I'm back hunnies! Saw a totally yummy waiter on the way back, oh don't be jealous baby I meant for the girls" Crystal giggled.

At that moment Adam came over and started clearing our plates, he flashed a smile.

"Is there anything else I can get you ladies tonight?"

I winked at him "Nothing else but heres your tip doll, you're doing a great job keep up the good work," I slipped my number in with the cash, he smiled widely at me and winked back. As he started to walk away I called after him "Oh and Adam, I'm out of town for a few weeks, so just leave a message and I'll get back to you."

"You gave the waiter your number Redgrave?" Mustang asked, eyebrows raised.

"Not that its any of your business sir but yes I gave him my number, problem?"

"No, it just seems like you have low standards that's all"

I laughed, hard.

"Ok sir whatever you think, but Riza and I are heading off, Crystal enjoy your date make sure he treats you right"

"Later babes!" She called after us.

I left laughing with Riza.

"Oh gosh, he sure can pick them"

"Cat, she seems nice enough"

"True but not smart enough to work out he's just a playboy"

"Ok I'll give you that."

"Ah well, tomorrow is a new day, I'll just try not to kill myself tonight thinking about spending the next few weeks with Colonel Bastard"

"If I didn't know better Cat I'd say you had feelings for the Colonel"

I scoffed at Riza "Oh come on! You're kidding me right? Me and him? No way in HELL!"
