"aren't you glad i did this?" someone throws a can at my head

"ow... ... thanks a lot.

ok here's the chapter!! enjoy!" (me talking)


Roy was just coming up the steps of Maes' house when the doors suddenly flew open and four hands grabbed his jacket and pulled him inside and locking the door shut. Roy was then greeted by Maes, Ed, Havoc, and Bloch. Al was in the kitchen helping Glacia and Elicia with dinner.

"Okay we're all here now, right?", said a smiling Hughes.

Roy, ticked off, "Yes we're all here. Now can you tell us why we are here?"

"And what was with those comments earlier?", Havoc added.

"Yeah!" said Bloch

Ed just stood there confused, Maes had said nothing to him about what had happened today.

"Alright, alright. Make yourselves at home."

They all went into the living room, Roy and Ed were sitting on the couch, Bloch sat in a chair and Havoc sat on the floor. Maes stood in the middle of the room, explaining everything that happened that morning. He was then at the part when Roy had set his coat up in flames and ran out of the room screaming. At this point, everyone was laughing hysterically.

Maes, SD (sweat-dropped) face red, coughed and replied, "WELL, after I ran out of Roy's office, I went to the locker room into the shower to put it out..."

Flashback (Maes pov)

Damn that Colonel! Thought a very stressed out and exhausted Lieutenant Colonel. He turned off the shower and examined his coat. After seeing that there was basically nothing left but the collar, one and a half sleeves, the outside pocket and top half of the front of the shirt, he threw it out and went to his locker to get another one. As he put the other coat on, he mumbled, He really needs to find a wife that can tame, and set him straight. Maes thought as he came out into the hallway, walking to Roy's office. I should go to him right now and...

"ROY?!?!?", he heard. Maes stopped in front of the girls locker room, and put his ear on the door to listen. Anyone saying anything having to do with Mustang, Maes thought it to be important... (blackmail or just curious otherwise), to listen no matter what. He couldn't make out who it was who talked about Roy at first, but continued to listen no matter.

"It's already embarrassing enough that you two tricked me into playing this game, don't scream everything I say, someone will hear you!"

"Ok sorry, we just can't believe that you finally admitted it."

"What do you mean by "finally"?"

"Oh nothing, just that everyone has been suspicious about it for a while now. And you finally admitted it now, when you should have said it to him instead of us."

"Ok what about you two then? Who do you guys like?"

"You're supposed to ask "truth or dare" you know . . . ", one said in a "matter-of-fact" tone of voice.

"Let's see, do you really think you will survive my dare without a scratch?", she said grinning evilly while her right eye twinkled.

The two women laughed nervously and shook their hands in front of them defensively. "No, no!" "We choose truth!", they responded.

"Good. Now then, who you the two of you like that's in the military?"

They both looked at each other and then one said, "Denny"

The two others stared at her.

"What?"

"Nothing, how about you Scieszka?"

She mumbled a response.

"What was that?"

"I said Havoc!"

"You two would make a cute couple."

"You think so Maria?"

"You would both make good couples..."

"Thanks Riza"

"...But you two have to promise to not say anything about this conversation. I know I'm not going to."

"We won't say anything either.", Maria said

"Promise!", responded Scieszka

Realizing who they were, Maes grinned to himself already making wedding plans in his head where his daughter will be the flower girl. Aw... so cute! 3 he thought. But that went away as soon as they started talking again.

"Oh, Winry is coming up today. Should we invite here to come along with us to your "conversation" tonight?"

"Sure, its fine with me. We all know who she likes right?" All three women nodded and spoke in unison, "Edward"

Riza went to get her things so she could change and said, "Okay come on, we've better get going. It has been about three hours since we got out of work to practice."

"All right."

"Lets go."

Maes then leaves the door and goes back through the hallways to Roy's office, smiling the whole way back.

(End Flashback)

Back in the Hughes' house, everyone in the living room had their mouths open in disbelief. Maes continued, "as I was heading back to Roy's office, I had assumed that you wouldn't want Breda, Fury, and Falman there to hear. I then remembered that Alex wanted to talk to them about his family since they were always too busy before, so I told them to go see him about something. And here we are now, trying to figure out all of your next moves"

Roy and Ed both blushed and said in unison, "No way! Riza / Winry and I are just friends!"

"Yeah, yeah. Keep telling yourselves that. You both do and you know it."

"NO I DON'T", Roy and Ed looked at each other then quickly looked away with a 'humph'.

"Well I'll admit that scieszka is kind of cute, I don't mind the thought of going out with her either." Havoc said putting his hand under his head as he lied down.

"Great! Ask her out tomorrow at lunch", Maes said excitedly.

Nonchalantly, Havoc responded, "Sure, why not?"

"I guess I'll ask Maria out next week sometime . . . They'll all be suspicious if we ask them out the next day they had a discussion about it, plus Riza would kill you for eaves-dropping Maes."

"Yeah you're right, good idea. Now that's two down and two . . . Huh?", Maes started as he turned to a now empty couch. A second later the front door was heard closing and a note was now on the door for Al. The note read:

Al, go back to the hotel when you're done over here. See you there. Ed

"They are so stubborn I swear!" Maes sighed. "Well, lets start planning ahead for them now shall we?". The others looked at him, confused. "For their dates", Maes finished.

"Oh" Havoc and Bloch said.

Meanwhile

Roy and Ed walked back to the hotel and Roy's house in silence. (Roy's house and the hotel are about a block or two away from each other here... nothing perverted here!). They were just glad to be out of Hughes' house.

On the way, Roy saw Riza through a window, in Ross' house. Roy stopped and went to take a closer look. Edward saw Mustang, stopped and fallowed him to the window. There inside were Riza and Winry in the bathroom, doing each others hair, while in their nightgowns. Roy and Ed's eyes were wide and they were both blushing. Riza was in her two piece pajamas. It was consistent of blue pants with a matching blue long sleeved shirt. Winry was wearing her white nightgown, it went down to her knees and there were no sleeves. Both of their hairs were down also.

Roy and Ed were blushing like mad, and they started to get nosebleeds. Both of them turned and ran to their own places as fast as they could and tried to go to bed
