Yo! I asked sunarose which she wanted updated, and she said this, so that's that.

AND WTH? I have 5 favorites ALREADY (none ofg them are people I know?)! I love you guys. Now go love sunarose too.

So yea. Would you like the story of my life? I had written out this page long explanation of why I was mad at my padre, (Yay for foreign languages!) but my author's notes are already too long- I never seem to shut up.

FMA still isn't mine, because I am a unicorn fairy princess and not a cow with glasses.

Ed was breathing heavily, trying desperately to think of a way to fake an injury while doing a plank.

"DOWN!" He collapsed gratefully. "Two minutes for water, everyone! If you aren't back in that time, pushups!" There was a mad rush for the drinking fountain. Ed heaved himself up, his body screaming protests. "ELRIC!" He groaned and turned to face Mrs. Curtis. "You left this here yesterday." She said, flicking one of her micro braids out of her eyes and handing him his science homework.

"Oh, thanks Mrs. Curtis."

"You're good at science, aren't you? You only made a few mistakes." Ed looked down at the crumpled mess. There were streaks of red pen across it- Izumi Curtis had corrected his science homework.

"Next time, try a little harder. Don't flunk just because it's cool." She paused. "And cut your hair. If it's long enough to braid, it belongs on a girl." Ed twitched and resisted the urge to flip her off. He wanted to live outside of detention, not die in it. Izumi turned back to the panting class. "Water break's OVER, people! Time for drills!"

"LanFan, I'm huuuungryyy…" Ling whined.

"You should have brought food, then." LanFan said, biting into her sandwich and shrugging.

"Do you have any food?"

"Not unless you want carrots." She said around a mouthful.

"Gimme gimme!" He bounced up and down, holding out his hands.

"But you hate carrots!"
"So? I'm hungry!" With a sigh, LanFan reached into her lunch box and tossed the carrot sticks at Ling. He didn't eat them, of course- he never did.

"Ugh, LanFan, these are even more foul than yesterday." She barely even looked at him, but for the second she did, she saw the girl several yards behind Ling with black hair and six long braids.

"Chang." She mutters. As if hearing her name, Mei scans the cafeteria, spotting Ling and LanFan almost instantly. Her eyes narrowed and her mouth curled into an unsightly scowl. She let out a small huff and turned back to her lunch.

"Damn, you're right. What's that brat doing here?"

"Pleeeeease, Gracia!"

"How many times do I have to say no, Maes?"

"As many as it takes for you to say say yes!" Gracia sighed and looked over at Maria, who shrugged apologetically. Gracia looked back at Maes. He was sweet, really, but she knew if she caved, all hell would break loose. Riza would not be very happy with another tie to Mustang, and Maria was craving an excuse to drop a few hints for Denny, and Rebecca…

Well, no one ever knew about her.

Maybe this would be a good idea, though. Through all Riza's insults and glares at Roy, if sh wasn't paying enough attention to her actions there would be a softness in her eyes when Roy was mentioned. Those two had history. Riza wouldn't tell anyone, but Gracia was positive about that. Besides, Gracia compensated, Maes was ridiculously persistent, and chances were that he'd keep asking until she finally caved. Gracia would have to go through the entire process every week- heck, sometimes twice a week- to get to the same conclusion. Her heart said yes, her brain said no. Today, against all her brain's protests, she finally caved to her teenage heart.

"Alright, fine Maes." The look of exhilaration in his face was nice. At least he contained his whoop of joy.

"So are you free Friday? We could go see a movie, or have dinner, or walk in the park, or-…"

"Calm down! Friday's great." He practically leapt out of his skin.

"So what do you want to do?" Gracia shrugged.

"Surprise me."

"I'll pick you up at 6!"

"Do you even know where I live?"

"Oh…Nope!" Gracia giggled. She had a feeling that even if the date itself was awful, she was going to have a great time.

"You did WHAT?" Riza screamed into her phone.

"Hell Riza, I said yes. It's not the end of the world." Riza looked around for something to smack her head against. It couldn't make her budding headache any worse. A knock on the door pounded into her head.

"Ugh, Gracia, I have to go. He's here." She could almost hear Gracia's smirk.

"Good luck with your date!" The line went dead before Riza could object. Not a date. It'll never be a date. She put her phone in her pocket and yanked open the door, scowling.

"Hey Riz." At least Roy didn't try to flatter the hell out of her like he did with every other girl he came across. Ho knew better than that- a black eye or a broken nose came with every sickly sweet compliment.

"So why are you here today?"

"Chemistry, like always."

"He'll be out in a minute." She disappeared for a second, reappearing with an apple and a calculus textbook. So she still liked them.

"What college are you thinking about?" She took a bite out of her apple and opened her textbook.

"I was actually considering the military. I want to make a difference." He sat there, staring at the cover of his chemistry textbook, wondering if Riza was in a good mood, or trying to gather some decent blackmail material.

"That's very noble of you." She whispered. "But they're never going to accept you with that GPA." He was shocked.

"I-I'll work on that." The ghost of a smile tugged at her lips.

"RIZA!" They both jumped, and the half eaten apple tumbled from Riza's hand. Roy noticed the color drain out of her already pale face. Berthold Hawkeye stormed into the kitchen, his face the color of a tomato. His fist was curled around several papers. When he spoke again, his voice was low and dangerous. "I thought we agreed not to think about the military. Riza." Shit. Roy thought. He hated it when stuff like this happened. If he stayed silent, Riza would hate him. If he spoke up, there would be a week or two that he wouldn't get the help he needed in chemistry.

"No, we didn't decide that." Her voice was the same as her father's. "You decided that for me."

"The military is not an option, Riza." Roy clenched his teeth. Speak? Don't speak? His mouth decided for him.

"Why isn't it?" Riza looked over at him, surprised and relieved- he knew she had planned to fight this war alone, and he wasn't going to let her. There was a tiny shake of her head, and as much as she wanted the help, her eyes told him not to proceed. You need his help to pass Chemistry. Don't sacrifice that for me. Did she really, actually still care about him?

"Roy, this is a family matter. Stay out of it." He sat down and sighed, heeding Riza's warning. Her eyes whispered a silent thank you.

So there we have it! A very confusing relationship… Tell me if it's too confusing. Please. What I think is happening (lol, I'm the author and I don't even know for sure) is that Roy and Riza were really close, then he was a jerk, and then he felt bad, but she still kinda hates him for it, but she's kinda beginning to realize that he'd never ever do that again and he feels really bad about it and stuff. And of course, he's fallen in love with her, and she's not so sure if she has or not. XD
