Hey, seeing as I took so long to upload the last chapter I thought I'd do this one quickly to compensate.

"YOU SAID WHAT?!" Rebecca screamed down the phone. Riza winced as she held the receiver further away from her ear to prevent further damage to her eardrums.
"Rebecca please go easy on the phones!" The blonde woman sighed and slouched onto the couch, the phone now held to her ear.
"So he asked you to the ball and you said no?" Rebecca said loudly, not even bothering to cover up her disbelief.
"I said no! Have you got a problem?" Riza asked hotly as she watched Black Hayate trot into the room.
"You're my problem Riza Hawkeye, you're too damn stubborn," Riza laughed loudly as her friend spoke.
"Oh that's rich coming from you, Miss 'no man is good enough for a girl like me unless he has a lot of money'!" Riza huffed and scratched Hayate's ears as he climbed up beside her on the sofa.
"Someone should slap you," Rebecca mumbled.
"You can try," she paused for a short second. "But I may shoot you,"
"Gun fanatic," Rebecca chanted.
"Lonely sod," Riza retorted, forcing herself not to burst out laughing at her friend's childish behaviour.
"Miss 'Dense as a plank of wood'!" Rebecca growled. Riza swore she could hear her teeth grinding through the receiver.
"Nice one, at least I'm not as thick as one," Riza leant back contently and ran a hand through her loose hair.
"I'm hanging up now," Rebecca mumbled sourly.
"You do that," Riza chuckled.
"No, I have nothing else to do," Rebecca whined.
"Just as I thought," Riza sighed heartily. Black Hayate whined and rested his large head on her lap, his eyes closing for a brief moment before opening again. "You really are the limit
Rebecca Catalina,"
"That's why you love me!" Rebecca said happily.
"Yeah you keep telling yourself that,"
"Riza! Riza!" Rebecca shouted. A lot of scuffling was heard on the end of the line which meant Rebecca had dropped the phone.
"What?!" The blonde sharpshooter yelled back.
"You're song is one the radio, turn it on!"
"My song?" Riza asked, clearly confused.
"Just turn it on woman!" Rebecca groaned. Riza stood up and walked over to her radio, turning the dial. She turned it for a while, only picking up static. Finally words began to come clear.
"It's that one that played that day you and Roy first kissed!" Rebecca said, using a rather irritating sing song voice. It reminded Riza oddly of Maes.
"well never again! Besides, I thought I told you never to remind me of that," Riza sighed and propped herself on the arm of the sofa, listening to the song.
"You remember right?"
"How could I forget?" Riza smiled softly and leant forward turning up the radio.
Every minute from this minute now, We can do what we like anywhere, I want so much to open your eyes, 'Cause I need you to look into mine.
"I better go," Riza sighed and closed her eyes. The music played on in the background.
Tell me that you'll open your eyes, Tell me that you'll open your eyes
"Alright Riza, I'll see you tomorrow, think about your answer to Roy's question, okay?"
"I will," She laughed softly and set down the phone on the table. She sat in silence for a while listening to the final words of the song. "And I won't waste a minute without you," she
whispered and stood up. A loud sigh escaped her lips as she leant forward and switched off the radio.
"Morning Hayate," Riza sat up, rubbing her eyes groggily. The small dog barked loudly and wagged his tail as he scrambled over the bed covers towards her.
She groaned as she swung her legs off the bed. She felt a wet tongue run along her hand and she looked down.
Hayate whined and nuzzled into her side affectionately. "What's wrong boy?" She asked as she lay down, smiling as he crawled towards her frantically. He barked and rested his paws on her stomach, his ears pricking up at her voice. "I need to get ready for work, you coming in today?"
He barked loudly and leapt off the bed. He reappeared moments later, holding his leash in his mouth, his tail wagging wildly. "It's easy for you but I have to get dressed and eat,"
"Good morning Hawkeye," Havoc looked up as the blonde woman entered the office, her dog trotting happily at her side.
"Morning Havoc," She smiled at him and walked towards her desk. Breda groaned as he spotted the canine companion, lifting his legs sutomatically off the floor. "Good morning Colonel," she said loudly, sounding more confident than she felt.
"And to you Liuetenant," He looked up and smiled at her. Phew, I thought he wouldn't talk to me after last night.... she sighed in relief outloud and began on her paperwork.
"So I was thinking," Roy stated, standing up as he looked around the table at his subordinates.
"Never a good sign," Havoc mumbled through a mouthful of potato.
"Silence Jean, for I have a speech that will blow your mind," Roy said loudly, putting on his formal voice. "I have booked our holiday,"
Riza was thankful that the canteine was now undergoing renovation after it had been re stocked. The subordinates instead had pushed their desks together and now sat around them in the office.
Roy continued to speak loudly, removing her form her thoughts. "We are going to a quaint little town down in the South, there are lakes and forests, so I'm sure we wont be lost on stuff to do, I have got...." Roy gulped, his eyes straying to Riza. "7 tickets,"
"Seven?" Fuery asked, looking up from his bowl of pasta.
"Yes, Miss Catalina will be joining us," Havoc grinned and took another mouthful of potato. "Sood be a funble of raffs," He muttered, spitting potato on the table.
"Jean that's sick," Riza scowled as she took a bite out of her apple.
"Well, I look forward to going on this holiday with you all after the ball," Roy's voice seemed to drop on the last word, his dark eyes straying to Riza as he sat back down.
Why is this so hard? Riza sighed and looked blankly at the table before her.
Thank you for reading (: I love the comments I have been getting, I was asked why Riza said no, i'll be sure to answer that soon okay :D
So please review tell me what you liked and such, etc...
The song was Open your eyes by Snow Patrol. I love that song and in light of recent FMA chapters I thought it would be perfect for this pairing.
Thanks again
