Author's Note: Okay, here is chapter two. I really took a long time but I waited to put up chapter one until I had chapter two done so yeah. My friend isn't going to write hers anymore, she said she couldn't stay concentrated on it. Maybe if you guys ask for her to try enough and I tell her she'll write it. Anyways, to the story.

Chapter 2 A Little Bet Never Hurt Anyone… Right?

Riza got out of the car, putting Hayate on the ground as she did so. She looked up at the mansion like house in front of her and smiled. It was the same as it was the last time she had saw it, if you minis the little snow that was every where, it was winter after all.

"Hey, Riza. You want to give us a hand with the luggage? After all some of it is yours." Roy stated from behind the car.

Riza turned around and gave him a soft, warm smile. "Of course."

Roy was surprised to say the least as she walked back and grabbed her luggage. 'Since when did she get in such a good mood?' He thought as he grabbed his and went to catch up with her and Hayate as Grumman closed the trunk, then following after them.

"So, did you bring you guns with you, little Riza?" Grumman asked as soon as he caught up with them.

"Yes. You do still have the target range set up, right?" Riza replied with a smile, looking back at her grandfather.

"You really brought your guns?" Roy interrupted before Grumman could speak. "You're on vacation. Don't you want to do something else?"

"No, I enjoy shooting. It's relaxing. Why do you care?" Riza asked with anger in her tone.

"N-No reason. It's just you always do it." He stuttered as he got a glare from her.

"Now, Now, don't fight." Grumman said as he knocked on the door with the to young military officers and Hayata standing behind him.

The door opened revealing a old woman standing there. She had gray hair down to her shoulders and was wearing a little blue dress that went down to her ankles. She had a soft smile on her face as to gestured for them to come in.

"Hello, grandmother." Riza said as she hugged the woman that let them in, after she setting her luggage down.

"It's good to see you again, little Riza." Her grandmother replied, kissing Riza on the cheek when Riza let go of her.

"Hello, Mrs. Grumman. It's good to see you again." Roy then said, smiling at her.

She looked to him. "If I've told you once I've told you a million times, call me Nana."

"I guess you have." Roy replied with a smile, noticing Riza smiling.

"Honey, why don't we let them go put their stuff away?" Grumman said as he walked over to his wife and putting his arm around her waist. "Your rooms are the same as you left them from to last time you two came."

"Thank you, grandfather." Riza replied, grabbing her luggage. "We'll both be down for supper, once we finish unpacking."

She walked up to the staircase, with Roy and Hayate following. Roy smiled, knowing that their rooms were right next to each other. 'One of the generals little plans.' He thought as the walked down hallway. He looked at Riza and was pleased to see she was in a good mood again.

She turned around to him, smiling. "When you're done come to my room and we can go down to supper together, okay?"

"Yeah, that's fine." He replied as he watched her and Hayate go into her room on the right.

Roy walked in to his room. It was fairly large with light blue walls. It had a wooden dresser, closet, a wooden desk, a bathroom of it's own, and a bed with blue quilt on it. He also had a window in his room, close to his bed. He sat his luggage down on his bed and began to unpack.

Roy opened the door to Riza's room, without knocking, and walked in. Her room was similar to his but with red quilt on her bed and has one more window then him. He looked over towards the window on the right side where her desk was. She was sitting there cleaning one of her guns, the setting sun shining in through the window making her hair glow ever so slightly.

"Well, you're done then?" She asked, absently, while putting her gun back together.

He walked over to the bed and sat on the edge of it, Hayate crawling up to him to be petted. "Yep, it's all done. I don't know about you but I'm hungry."

She put her gun down on the desk as she turned to him with a smile. "Well then, we should both go to supper now."

She stood up and started to walk to the door but stopped when she noticed Roy wasn't following. She turned around and looked at him. He just sat there on the edge of her bed, looking down at Hayate as he petted him.

"Is something wrong?" She asked with concern in her voice.

He looked up at her and smirked. "Just thinking." He then stood up, leaving Hayate on the bed, and walked over to her.

"About what?"

He began to walk out the door but stopped to hold it open for her. "Why the General had us come for this week and not some other week."

"Why do you think he did that?" She asked walking past him in to the hallway, after telling Hayate to stay.

"I don't know but I think it's going to be interesting to find out, don't you?" He asked as the walked back to the staircase. "Guess we'll find out later."

After they all ate, Riza and her grandmother went to their rooms for the night. Roy and Grumman went to Grumman's Study to play chess, something they did all the time. So far the General is winning, like most the time.

"So, tell me what you got planned for us this time, General." Roy said as he moved one his chess pieces.

"What do you mean?" Grumman asked, innocently, moving one of his pieces.

"Oh, C'mon. You always have a little plan."

"Oh, really?" Grumman asked, waiting on Roy to move his piece.

"Yeah." Roy answered finally moving his piece.

"I don't have one this time. But let's make a bet, shall we?"

"What kind of bet?" Roy replied, watching Grumman move another piece.

"If I beat you, you tell me how you really feel about my granddaughter but if you win, I'll leave you alone about you two. Deal?" Grumman asked, moving another one of this pieces after Mustang.

"Deal." He replied, full of confidence as he moved his piece.

"Alright then, Checkmate." Grumman said beaming as he moved his piece into place.

"What?! How the?!" Roy then exclaimed, staring shocked at the broad.

"Alright, now the truth." Grumman stated calmly.

"First, you have to promise you won't tell her."

"Promise."

"Fine, I love her. I love Riza." Roy stated softly with a blush.

"Then tell her." Grumman replied, happily.

"I can't!"

"Why not?"

"Because… I'm afraid." Roy admitted in a whisper.

"Well then, get your courage and tell her before your vacation is over." Grumman demanded.

"… Fine, I'll try." Roy muttered, trying to think how to do that.

"Good boy. Now lets go to bed." Grumman said, cleaning up their chess broad.

"Yeah, alright." Roy replied, standing up and walking to the door but stopped there and turned to Grumman. "Good night, General."

"Good night." Grumman replied, watching Roy walk away and smiling, then muttered, "So, this time my plan is working."
