AN: Hey guys! :D Finally another chapter up! Not much action in this one but I like it. Please R&R! :D

Riza was sitting in her new cell alone. Havoc had his own also. It had been three days since they were freed from Furnace. Riza had her injuries taken care of but the pain still came. She didn't complain though. She could breathe again. The only thing that she could not do was sleep. She had nightmares almost every time she fell asleep. She couldn't get the Wardens face out of her mind. Riza sat up slowly.

'I want to go home.' She sighed. Things were not in her favor. She still had no idea what Roy had wanted to say to her. He had said it could wait, but she wanted to know. She missed sharing a cell with Havoc, at least then she could talk to someone. Her trial was coming up fast. She was going to be after Havoc. She heard footsteps and looked outside the cell. Havoc was being taken away. He looked at her and smiled.

"See you on the outside Hawkeye." She smiled back. They had gone back to using their last names.

"See you soon Havoc." He disappeared out of sight and Riza laid back down. She didn't feel like facing the higher ups at the moment. Her body ached. Two guards came up to her cell.

"It's your turn Lieutenant Hawkeye." She got up and followed them out of the cell. They gave her crutches since she could barley walk on her leg. That dog had really bit down deep. It took them about five minutes to walk down to the courtroom. The guards opened the doors and let her in. She walked up to the stand and faced the Furher. He looked right back at her. She could see that Edward and Roy were in the room.

'Witnesses I guess.' She held back a smile. Roy had said he would be with her every step of the way.

"First Lieutenant Riza Hawkeye. We will now start your trial." The Furher said. "The case says that you shot Edward Elric and then shot your partner Jean Havoc. Is that the case Lieutenant?"

"No sir."

"Did you pull out your gun on the day of the shooting?"

"No sir."

"I see. We will allow the witnesses to speak." Roy walked up to stand beside Riza. "General Roy Mustang tell us what happened on the day of the shooting."

"Yes sir. My team were walking back into HQ, after the previous Furher had finished the meeting about Furnace, when we heard a gun shot. Everything went crazy after that and I had to find out what happened. The next thing I saw was Hawkeye, Havoc, and Elric down. They were losing blood fast. I sent some of my men to investigate." Roy paused a moment to take a drink of water.

"When we had regrouped back in my office, Havoc and Hawkeye told me their guns were missing. General Raven walked in and claimed they shot Elric and dragged them away. Later on when Raven was shot he told me how he staged the entire thing." The higher ups listened carefully to every word Roy said.

"Yes we are aware of Raven's betrayal. The next witness may approach the stand." Roy walked off and Ed came up. "You may speak."

"Well for one I'm not dead so that should count. We were walking up to the building when I heard a shot. I looked around and saw Lieutenant Hawkeye fall to her knees. I started running to her but then I felt burning in my gut. I had been shot second. I blacked out after that." The Furher scratched his chin.

"So she was shot first. We always wondered who got hit first." The higher ups started talking among themselves and Ed walked back to his seat. Roy looked at Riza. He smiled and she looked away. She heard him sigh and she stifled a laugh.

"Well seeing as Edward Elric is not dead and we found Raven's men guilty. You are free to go and return back to work Lieutenant Hawkeye." Ed cheered and Roy smacked the back of his head. Riza sighed and fell into step beside Roy and Ed. They opened the door for her.

"You're free now Hawkeye. Where do you want to go?"

"Home." He chuckled.

"All right then. I'm positive Hayate wants to see you." She smiled as they went outside. The sun was shining and it was perfect.

"I'm going to head back to Al and Winry. Congrats on being set free."

"Thank you Edward." He grinned and walked off. Roy drove Riza home and opened the door for her. Hayate came running at her. Roy stopped the dog from jumping on her.

"Hey Hayate. I missed you so much." Hayate barked and licked her face.

"Did you have fun with Mustang?" He barked again and jumped down.

"I think that's a yes." Roy said grinning.

"Thank you Roy."

"It was nothing. The dog listened very well."

"Not just for that, you saved me and gave me hope." He pulled her in for a hug.

"Riza…you know I'll always be there for you."

"I know but I gave up!" He could feel her tears.

"You went through hell. I would have given up as well."

"You would have kept fighting. I know you would."

"Well what changed your mind?"

"You and your dream to reach the top." He chuckled.

"You're strong Riza. You won your own war." She smiled.

"By the way, did I hear Grumman call you General?" She looked up to his grinning face.

"Yep! I'm now a General!" They both started laughing.

"What did you want to say when we got out of Furnace?"

"I'll tell you later." She frowned and gave up.

"All right then. I'm going to bed." He laughed at the look on her face. He wasn't going to tell her now. She would have to wait a little longer.

…...

"Edward Elric! Come here now!" Ed was hiding under his bed. He didn't want to face Winry since he lost her wrench.

"Ed!" He heard her footsteps getting closer to him. He cowered even more. Finally the footsteps stopped. He sighed. Suddenly the bed he was hiding under disappeared and he looked up at Winry and screamed.

"Don't kill me!"

"Where is it!?"

"I don't know!" She dropped the bed and dragged him out of the room. He was deathly pale.

"I can believe you lost it Ed." He only needed to hang on until Al came back.

"Sorry Win." She glared at him. Al walked in holding a box with a bow on it. He handed it to Ed and left to hang out in town for awhile.

"What's that?" Ed smirked and handed it to Winry.

"A thank you present." She opened the box and pulled out a shiny new wrench.

"Your other one was old." She hugged Ed tightly.

"Thank you!"

"Winry."

"Yes?"

"I love you." He pulled her in for a quick kiss. He pulled away blushing.

"I love you too Ed." She wrapped her arms around him and kissed him again.

…...

"So Rebecca, you took up Hawkeye's position?"

"Yeah. Someone needed to. Mustang needed the help." He laughed.

"What?"

"It's just that you hated that guy and now you're friends."

"We went through a lot to get you guys back. We're lucky they freed Breda."

"Yeah I know and he's with Ava."

"It's quite cute."

"Becca I love you."

"I know. You have said it hundreds of times since you got out." She smiled and kissed his cheek.

"Just making sure you know." She snuggled closer to him and drifted off into sleep. Havoc followed her quickly.

…...

"Maes?"

"Yes?"

"Were we going to throw a party?"

"Of course! We won!" Maes grabbed Gracia and spun around in a circle. She laughed at him and hugged him.

"I can't wait to get Roy married off."

"I know. You have said that since you met the guy." He grinned.

"Let's go plan this party out."

…...

"You gave up!"

"I'm alive. Leave me alone."

"I don't think so. You killed me. I will always haunt your dreams."

"You tried to kill me first."

"That doesn't change anything!" She could hear his evil laughter. Riza was having another dream about James. This time he was showing her images of all of her friends dead or dying. She knew it was just a dream, but it was hard seeing them.

"How does it feel seeing your dead lovers face?" She growled at him.

"He's not dead!" James laughed again.

"It's all your fault too."

"Stop!" She screamed.

…...

"Riza." Roy came in and held Riza. She was shaking and tears streamed down her face.

"Riza! It's okay." She finally calmed down thanks to Roy's soothing words and the fact that he was holding her.

"Hey what happened?"

"Another dream." She frowned.

"What about?"

"Furnace…or more specifically, James showing me images of everyone I care about. They are all dead."

"Is this the dream that always haunts you?"

"No. James shows up every night mocking me."

"He can't hurt you. We are all fine." She shook her head.

"I know that, but it is difficult to block the jerk out of my head."

"I have an idea." Roy laid down beside her and wrapped his arms around her. Riza snuggled into him as best as she could without hurting herself. She fell asleep saying to herself that Roy was there for her.

…...

"Ava!" She turned around to see Breda running towards her.

"Hey Breda." He hugged her and she laughed.

"I'm so happy that we're free. I never thought I'd see the sun again." She looked up at the sky. She felt so much happiness.

"Have you heard from Isabella or Mia yet?"

"No, but I'm sure they will be at that party we have to go to."

"Yeah. We'll all meet up again."

"Haven't you been at work?"

"No. None of us have. Mustang has been taking care of Hawkeye. Havoc is with Rebecca and I'm with you." She smiled.

"So what to do today?"

"Live each moment. We have awhile to decide on things." They sat down at a park and stared at the sky holding hands.

…...

"So why were we invited to this party anyway?"

"Isabella, we are friends with them now."

"We don't need friends."

"They saved us." Isabella refused to budge.

"I know that."

"You're just shy." Mia laughed at her sister.

"I am not."

"We're going so deal with it." Isabella sighed.

"Fine."

…...

Riza woke up and yawned. Roy laughed at her.

"Hello sleepyhead."

"Roy."

"No dreams?"

"I had one."

"What was it about."

"Us." She got up and limped to the kitchen smiling. Roy rolled over and found Hayate.

"It's almost time to tell her boy." Hayate barked and jumped off the bed. Roy grinned.

'I can't wait.' He got up and found Riza. She was sitting on the couch reading a book.

"You get out of prison and you want to read?" She laughed.

"I was waiting for you to get up. We have to get ready for that party at Maes' house." He sighed.

'It's going to get crazy and I'm going to have to deal with Hughes and his cameras.' Riza looked at Roy. He was smiling like an idiot and it creeped her out.

"Let's get going before you smile yourself to death." He ran out the door followed by Hayate. Riza stared at the two of them.

'What's up with those two?' She sighed and followed them out the door.
