A.N.: This is the alternate ending. I like this ending much better. (hehe) Tell me which one do you think is better too!

You should know where this picks up! I didn't bother copying and pasting the rest… It's the same. Should I post the rest? Anyway, I think I did this poorly and I'm confused if I should do another chapter- as in the continuation. Could there be a continuation? Ah well.

"R-Riza… were you cheating on me?" Her date approached Roy and took hold of his collar and lifted him in the air. Roy looked smug and he didn't look scared at all.

Riza, on the other hand, was still stunned at what the Colonel had said. If she married the Colonel what would happen? She pictured it. She's cooking, the Colonel is reading the newspaper. The house was normal. She could see Black Hayate all grown up, playing with the kids. The Colonel was not a Colonel but the General, and she had quit the military to become a housewife. Not bad. But what's this? Beside the Colonel, three other women are with him; flirting with him. She takes the shotgun and bang bang and bang. The kids are scarred forever, and they all live happy every after. She snapped back to reality. Scary. Her eyes twitched as she stood and approached the two men.

"Stop!"

They didn't seem to be listening. The Colonel took his glove and with his fingers, fire was on the tuxedo.

"Ahh!" He let go of the Colonel, causing him to fall on the floor; butt first. Eric tookhis tuxedooff and violently stepped on it to put the fire away. Riza just stared at what had turned to be a disastrous night.

"This isn't gonna stop me!" He regained his composure. He knelt facing Riza. Now, the Colonel had no fish and had given up, his butt hurts and he wanted to stop it but something told him; It's up to Riza to decide. Eric took hold of Riza's hands,

"Riza Hawkeye, will you marry me?"

Riza was shocked. It wasn't like she didn't see it coming, but, shocking nonetheless. As if by instinct, she looked at her superior; who was slowly standing up, she looked at him still. He didn't say anything. He looked as well to Riza. He looked pleading. Was he telling her to say no? But this was up to her, if she would spend the rest of her life with him. Questions ran through her head.

Her eyes softened, as she looked down. It seemed like she realized something as she pondered on her decision.

"Sorry, but no." she said. She looked feminine and happy as she said it.

"W-what? Eric was shocked at what Riza had just said. He fell to the floor, his eyes covered his eyes.

"Can I go home now Eric? It was just such a hard night and I'm very tired."

He didn't say anything, obviously still shocked,but Riza headed for the door and so did Roy, tailing her; happy as ever.

The two headed home.

The Colonel peeked at the Lieutenant, "Aren't you going to shoot me Riza?" Riza breathed deeply, "No, I'll let you go this time." Really?

"Are you going soft Lieutenant?"

Riza then looked stiff, "Do you want me to go hard on you, sir?" she implied, slightly looking at her higher ranked officer. Roy was taken aback, "Just a question, Lieutenant, just a question."

Minutes of silence passed, and Roy's mind wandered. He suddenly remembered what he had said earlier, surely the Lieutenant was shocked, so was he with himself, so he decided to say, "1st Lieutenant, you haven't answered my question..er..order yet." The Colonel didn't look at Riza, slightly embarrassed at what he had said, but he was curious of what did his subordinate think, he could see her at the corner of his eye and the Lieutenant looked disgusted for some reason. She had remembered what she had pictured earlier, and it was not pretty.

"The answer is: We are off-duty and therefore it is not the time to give orders, Colonel." she said, as if she was mocking herself. The Colonel laughed; a nervous laugh. "What if during work I would've said it?" Roy looked straight at his subordinate. She looked as if she was thinking.

"Y" -es. His eyes widened and approached her more, anxious and eager to hear her answer.

"You should finish your work before giving such orders, sir." The Colonel put his hand over his eyes. He knew he wouldn't get a straight answer no matter what the conditions were. His eyes wandered and landed on Riza, he could see her calm and composed as she was looking at the distance. He was puzzled why she was calm and not angered of what he had done.

"Colonel," Riza said softly. Roy was surprised; he was too busy looking and admiring Riza. Did she notice him looking at her? "I shall protect you all my life, no matter what path you choose, and will not hesitate to pull the trigger for anyone who blocks that path you choose. Shall that be enough for you?"

Roy was stunned. He didn't know what to say. He expected something like "You're so perverted." Of course, he knew the Lieutenant would be by his side all the time, but, he didn't really expect to hear her say it. There were things that were best left unsaid and were best to be seen, you can understand things like that more that way. The Colonel closed his eyes as he let out a faint smile as his mouth opened, "Yes."- was the answer to a lot of questions in Roy's head, but one in particular. Riza smiled too, a motherly smile.

A.N.: Yesterday I watched the FMA movie. Yes, you must think I suck so much, being such a fan and only watching it now. Shoot me now Riza!

Bang Bang Blood

There will be no more fanfics from Pichie, no more updates, for she is dead! Blame Riza!

(I also just figured out a day ago that the one created FMA is a woman. I know I am pathetic. You learn something new everyday)

Comments about the movie: I hate it. The manga rules! (I also realized I don't do disclaimers, you should know by now that I don't own FMA. Did you ever think I owned FMA?) (Aren't you supposed to be dead?) (Last breath: R-review!)

Review to revive Pichie!
