"Guess what May." Leo said with a wide grin on her face.
"What ma'am?" The girl looked up from her paperwork, amused to see her boss in such a lighthearted mood.

"It's Friday. I love Fridays." Leo gave a satisfied sigh before a dark shadow passed over her face. "But you know what would have made this Friday even better?"
"No ma'am I don't…"
"If every other thing I've heard for the past week hadn't been 'Oh my god!?! Can you believe it! That is the Flame Alchemist! Roy Mustang! I can't believe he's here. Here!' I swear if I see one more person go into a fit of giggles over that man I am going to take a gun and---" she stopped suddenly and slammed her head into her desk out of frustration.

"All well and good ma'am…but your aim is notoriously horrible.

"Thanks for the vote of confidence…" Leo grumbled. "What's so wonderful about him anyway?" She pouted propping her head up on her hand.

"I'm sure once you got to know him you'd like him. Your friend Hughes sure seems to."

"You didn't answer my question! And besides, Hughes is sweet but he's a bit of a loon." She pulled herself from her chair and grabbed an umbrella. Opening the door for May they exited the office and Leo locked the door.
"Be careful driving home," May said with a wave before walking down the dark hallway. Leo went the opposite way, towards the main entrance. She was heading down the marble stairs case and zipping up her coat when she heard the echo of footsteps not far behind her.

When she turned she say it was Mustang.

"Don't you have something better than that or an umbrella," she asked, noticing that all he had was a light coat. He looked surprised when she had said something. She guessed he either had not seen her or was not expecting her to say anything to him, might of even been a bit of both.

"I didn't think it would rain." His voice was almost completely washed out as a huge crash of thunder went through the air. A flash of lightening illimanted the room for a brief moment.

"The weather here isn't as predictable as Central. It'd be wise to keep at least an umbrella in your office. Where is your car?" All Leo really just wanted to go home but even she was not heartless enough to leave Roy to the mercy of the storm, although with all the annoyance he had cause her this past week she had considered it.

"I don't have a car until next week." He ran a hand through his hair sheepishly.

"You were planning on walking home in this," she gave him a skeptical look, "are you insane?" He chuckled a bit and shrugged. "Come on I'll drive you…" she sighed before pushing open one of the doors. When they were both outside she opened her umbrella and the pair made a mad dash for her car. The wind was blowing around, she almost lost the umbrella several times and by the time they made it to her car they were sopping wet. She quickly pulled out her keys, unlocked the car and the two jumped into the car.

"Well that was fun…" she murmured while catching her breath. After a moment she tried to take off her coat but it was so soaked that all she really accomplished was a bit of flailing. He laughed at her, received a glare and then helped her.

"So I take it if I laugh at you I'll be walking home?"

"You catch on quick," she smirked before putting the key in the ignition. "Crap.."

"What's wrong?"
"The car won't start…" With a groan of defeat she laid her head on the steering wheel.

"You've got to be kidding me…" he sighed. "I'll go out and look at it." Roy stepped out of the car and opened the hood. After a minute or two she joined him with the umbrella.

"What's wrong with it," she yelled over the pounding rain and rumbling thunder.

"No idea."

"Piece of crap." In her frustration she kicked the car and amazingly enough they heard the rumble of the engine starting.

"That works I suppose…" Roy said as she gaped at the car.

Once they were on the road the car was silent, other than the pounding rain and the occasional directions he gave her. When they reached his apartment building he gave her a grateful smile before dashing for the warmth of the building.

Roughly five minutes later Leo was parking her car and running into her own apartment building. The water was now well above her ankles and she wrenched the door open and dived inside. Brushing the wet hair out of her face she walked up the stairs and fumbled in the dark with the lock on her door. When she was inside she flicked on the light switch. Nothing happened. It took her a moment to realize the power was out and once she had she muttered a few choice words. Finding some candles she set them around before stripping out of her soaked clothes. Grabbing a warm blanket she curled up in a big chair and fell asleep to the beating of the rain and purring of her cat, who had curled up with her.
