"Wow Colonel, you actually arrived to work on time, again!" Havoc pointed out as Roy and Riza entered the door.

"Aw shut up!" Roy was defiantly annoyed by this point. Havoc was the fifth person to point out him arriving on time recently. Luckily nobody pointed out him arriving with Lieutenant Hawkeye. That defiantly would have started some rumors.

Riza had been staying with Roy for the past week, while her house was under construction. Roy had never slept better. It was true that after that first night he slept on the couch while his lieutenant was in his bed, but it didn't seem to matter. All he knew was that he didn't have any trouble sleeping at all. Strange, he was somehow thinking that he sleeping problem might be linked to his lieutenant. It sounded crazy, but the only times he had been sleeping recently had been when she was around.

"Sir, you're starring at me funny again." Riza noted, not that she minded though, she was just pointing out the fact.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I was just thinking." Roy replied as he straightened back up.

"I warned you about that, sir" Riza half joked.

"Why are you so cruel to me." Roy pouted playfully.

"What am I going to do with you, sir." Riza sighed. This little game had been going on for a while.

"You can go get me my coffee." Roy smirked.

"Yes sir." Riza left to fetch his morning coffee. Ah, he loved the way she always went and got his coffee, even if he didn't ask for it. If only he was good enough for someone like her. He sighed Oh well, he had a date tonight with Betty, maybe she would take his mind off of Riza.


"Yo Colonel, you got a message from some chick." Havoc announced grudgingly handed Roy the paper. Why did the Colonel get all the babes?

"Oh thank you, Havoc." Roy chirped.

"You know dating other women just to make lieutenant Hawkeye jealous isn't a very good idea." Havoc relied as a matter of fact. Roy spit his coffee half way across the room.

"What?!. . .psh! . . .Who said I was trying to make Hawkeye jealous?" Roy suspiciously defended.

"No offense, sir, but everyone here knows it but her." Havoc was enjoying this.

"Shouldn't you be working, Havoc?" Roy changed the topic.

"Aye aye, sir." Havoc half saluted before during a half turn and leaving.

Roy sat in his desk pouting. How had everyone found out what he was up. Oh well he would be the judge of whether or not it was working.


A few hours later the phone on Riza's desk rang.

"Hello, this Colonel Mustang's office." She answered in her slandered greeting.

"Hello, this is Betty may I talk the handsome Colonel Mustang?" the voice on the phone giggled.

"Just a moment please." Riza set down the phone, and looked into her superior's office. She was all of a sudden struck. "Hello are you still there?"

"Why yes I am. Where is Roy?" the voice demanded. Riza looked at Roy one more time.

"He told me to tell you that he doesn't want to speak to you anymore. He said that he is seeing somebody else, and that you should get lost." Riza relayed with holding back a grin.

"He What!! How dare he! Who does he think he is?!" The angry voice screamed before hanging up violently. Riza gently set down the phone. Looks like her Colonel wasn't going out tonight.


About an hour later, Riza walked into Roy's office to give him some papers to sign. When she arrived she found her Colonel sitting at his desk completely dumbstruck.

"Is something the matter, sir?" Riza calmly asked while setting the stack down.

"Yes, I called Betty to see what time she wanted to go out tonight, and she cussed me out in about three different languages, before hanging up on me. I have no idea what I did wrong this time." Roy sat completely baffled.

"I'm sure you'll find another woman soon." Riza sighed. It was probably true. Roy thought for a moment.

"I know! Why don't you got out to dinner with me tonight, lieutenant." Roy delightfully announced as the idea struck him. Riza nearly dropped the next stack of papers she had picked up.

"Colonel, surly you don't really want to go out to dinner with me?" Riza blushed while stumbling over the papers that had fallen.

"Why would I ask if I didn't want to?" Roy inquired. "You're moving back into your apartment. It's the least I owe you for keeping me company this past week. Besides you went to dinner with me while we were young, so why not now?" Roy skillfully asked. Riza debated about his proposition in her mind for a minute before finally agreeing.

"If you insist, sir"

"Excellent!" Roy clapped out of excitement. He was finally getting that date with Riza that he had wanted for so long. Riza, out of amusement of her Colonel's behavior, revealed that same smile that Roy hadn't seen in years.


Their date was nearly perfect. Riza wore a beautiful black cocktail dress that had been in her closet for years. Roy couldn't recall her ever looking more beautiful. He himself wore a white tuxedo with a black bow tie, and they ate at one of Central's most exquisite restaurants. Roy was now walking Riza back to her apartment. That was the only bad part of the evening. This was the first night in a week when Riza wasn't going to be coming with him. It was that fact that put a slight damper on the evening, especially as the arrived at Riza's front door.

"Thank you for dinner, Colonel. It was very nice." Riza thanked him while blushing ever so slightly. He was looking at her funny again.

"Please, call me Roy while we're off duty." Roy said coolly.

"Very well then. . . .Roy." Riza answered nervously. Roy noticed this.

"Why are you nervous, Riza?" Roy quietly inquired, while carefully brushing her bangs out of her face with his hand. Riza looked up into Roy's eyes and saw something in them, something she had never seen in his eyes before when he told his other date's goodbye. "Goodnight Riza. I'll see you in the morning." Roy kissed her gently on her forehead, and waved goodbye as he headed back to his own house. Riza just stood there for a few minutes, stunned. Had her Colonel, just kissed her? She was sure that anybody walking by would think that she was about to faint, with all the different shades a pink her face was turning. Riza decided it was best that she should go inside and sit down before she actually did faint. Riza slowly opened the door and turned on the light.

"Good evening, Riza." an all too familiar voice cackled. "You didn't think I forgot about you did I? Little miss Sharpshooter."

Riza froze in her tracts, knowing exactly who the voice belonged to.
