CHAPTER 21: Two Left Feet
Monday morning, the Fountain Student Council all woke early and had breakfast at 6 so that they could join the classes that day.
"Alright, good morning… I got your schedules and which classes you're joining. And may I remind you that tonight there is a social ball for us… oh how touching." Ms. Ramirez said addressing the group. Ed and Victor snickered at the hint of sarcasm in what their adviser said.
"Mr. Elric, I do hope you behave yourself today." Ms. Ramirez said handing him the schedule.
"Don't worry Ms. R… it'll be fine." Ed said before taking a look at the schedule. His eyes grew big at what he saw. "Hold on!! How come I have Chemistry?" He exclaimed.
"Is anything the matter, Mr. Elric?" Ms. Ramirez asked as she continued to hand out schedules.
"I forgot to mention that Ed… they have a rather advanced program here and second years take chemistry. The freshmen take Intermediate algebra and Biology, The second years take Statistics, Geometry, Trigonometry and Chemistry… Third years have to take Advanced Algebra and Physics, while the Seniors take Calculus and a science elective of their choice." Riza, who was seated at the same round table as Ed, explained. Ed sulked in his seat.
"Thanks for enlightening me…" Ed said gloomy as he clutched his schedule.
"You have the same schedule as me?" Roy asked Riza, who started reading her schedule.
"Trade?" She answered before handing him hers. Smirking, he handed her his.
"Well that's good, we're in the same class." Roy said.
"I think we're in the advanced class… Oh no." Riza replied, before realizing something.
"What is it?"
"We'll be in the same class as Michael."
"That's fine. As long as he doesn't bother you, then I'll leave him alone… if not, then I'm serious about what I told him." Roy simply said, taking a sip of his orange juice. "I did notice though… we have geography class and French class?"
"Yes… students here are required to take a language course every year… I guess they gave me my old language course and gave you the same class as well…" Riza simply said.
"Alright, if you're all done, go back to your rooms, wear your uniform and then report at the lobby." Ms. Ramirez said from her table. They all finished up and went back to their rooms and put on their uniforms. Afterwards, they went back down with the things they needed and waited patiently in the lobby.
"Geez, we still have to wear the uniform." Ed grumbled.
"Ease up, Ed… we're here to learn and represent the school." Maes explained with a grin.
"Yeah, yeah… sure." Ed said, putting his feet on top of the small coffee table in front of him.
"Mr. Elric! Feet off the table!" Ms. Ramirez shouted as she came down the stairs. Ed who was startled, dropped his phone on the floor.
"You know Mr. Elric… someone should get you a footrest for Christmas. It is less than a month away." Ms. Ramirez commented.
"Sure, if you say so…" Ed muttered as he stood up and got together with the group. A moment later, Mr. shaw entered the building and led them to the school.
It was now bustling and full of activity. Students were running up and down the halls, chatting and collecting their things from their lockers and cramming last minute reviews for quizzes.
"I do hope your first night was enjoyable and comfortable. Today is a long day for you." Mr. Shaw told them inside a small conference room. "Basically today and tomorrow, you will experience the academic programs offered here in Green Grove. On Wednesday and Thursday, we'll have the training together with the Green Grove council. On Friday, you'll attend classes once more, and then on Saturday, it's your free day. Any questions?" No one replied.
"Alright then… I'll show you to your classes." He opened the door and they left the room. As they were going to the rooms, they ran into Francis and Louisa.
"Francis, Louisa, kindly assist me in showing them to their rooms." The two nodded and Riza's group split into three. She, Roy, Maes, and Aurelia went with Louisa, while Stella, Ed, Ryan and Annika went with Francis. The rest, including Ms. Ramirez went with Mr. Shaw.
"Hey Riza… you'll be in the advanced class once more." Louisa told her as they went up the stairs.
"I'm perfectly aware of that." Riza replied. Louisa was only a year younger than Riza and they knew each other.
"You had a bit of an argument with Michael."
"I know." Riza replied stiffly as they arrived in the third year corridor. "I can take it from here, Louisa, thanks. You can take Maes and Aurelia to their rooms."
"Alright then… see you later, Riza!" Louisa greeted as she, Maes and Aurelia went up another flight of stairs. The corridor of the second floor was big, and the classrooms faced large windows showing a small garden below. Each room had two doors as well, and there were only three classrooms on that floor. Riza led Roy to the other end of the hallway, and stopped at the first door she saw.
"You ready?" Riza asked with a smile?
"You still ask that?" He replied smugly. Riza shrugged and knocked on the door before opening it.
"Ah… You must be the council members from Fountain Hill… welcome to 3-1. I'm Ms. Jessica Cross the homeroom adviser. Please come in." Jessica Cross was tall, and had curly chestnut brown hair. She wore red framed glasses and a black blazer over the prescribed teachers' uniform. Riza didn't know her so she immediately concluded that she was new.
"Please, introduce yourselves." As Riza entered the room, she saw surprise etched on some of the students' faces. The room was airconditioned, and there were books neatly arranged on the shelves. There were maps on the walls and a bulletin board at the back with announcements pinned on them.
Riza and Roy made their way to the middle of the room, near the teacher's table. From there, Riza could see Michael, seated in the second row. She also saw two empty desks beside his desk. Riza also saw her best friend Camilla waving happily from the back. Riza smiled, she missed her best friend a lot.
"Please, introduce yourselves." The teacher repeated. This time, Roy made the first move and introduced himself.
"Hey there, I'm Roy Mustang, vice president of the Fountain Hill Student Council."
"Hello…" Riza began softly. "I'm Riza Hawkeye, Third year rep of Fountain Hill. It's great to see you guys again."
"You were a student here?" Ms. Cross asked, slightly surprised.
"Yeah she was… she was supposed to be the third year rep." Michael answered loudly, sounding very bitter.
"I see… thank you, Michael. Please, take a seat. I'll finish with homeroom and then you will have your first class, Geography." Riza and Roy went over to the second row, and Roy immediately sat on the desk beside Michael's.
"Thanks…" Riza muttered softly so that only Roy could hear. He just nodded as she pulled out her notebook. Ms. Cross went on with her announcements, which included an announcement on the ball. Upon mentioning the ball, students started chatting and giggling, exchanging stories on what they will wear, who they will go with. Michael pretended he was going to talk to someone about the ball. Riza didn't seem to care less. If her friends was going to act plastic, then she wouldn't care.
'As if asking other girls out will faze me… who is he kidding?' Riza thought to herself annoyed. Roy saw the annoyance etched on her face and gave her a pat on the back and an encouraging smile. Riza just let out a small smile. When the teacher was done giving out announcements, she left the room, and the Geography teacher, whom Riza recognized, entered.
"Good morning, we're going to have a game the entire period seeing as you guys are so busy thinking about the ball."
"Mr. West, we have 'new' students." Riza recognized that voice from anywhere, and it was the class rep Gianina Thompson. Upon hearing that they did have new students, Mr. West craned his head and looked around. His eyes landed on Roy and Riza.
"Riza Christianna Hawkeye, is that you?" He asked. Mr. West was one of Riza's favorite teachers because of his funny antics.
"Yes, Mr. West, it is me… I'm on the Fountain council now."
"You're very powerful and skilled, Riza dear… anyways, hopefully, you'll enjoy the game today. We're playing Geography taboo!" Many of the students were happy to hear it.
"This is how we'll do it. Four groups, first two rows right side, last two rows, right side, you get the drill. Now, one member will stand up, get a piece of card here from this box…" He held up a small wooden box and shook it. "…Then try to help your group mates guess the country by giving them clues. However, you can't give them the capital, where the country is, what you call the people, the food, the language and other factual things. You can choose to use trivia, or famous people or landmarks for the factual clues, or you can use the syllables and tell your group mates what the word sounds like. But, you cannot explicitly say the word it rhymes with. Ready? Group with the most points wins. 1 minute to guess as many countries as you can, no stealing. If you commit any of the taboos, 10 seconds pause. If you pass, 10 seconds also. Group 1, let's go." He pulled out a stop watch from his pocket as a boy with black hair stood up from the left hand side of the room and rubbed his hands together, getting ready to play the game.
"You have one minute group 1. Pick your card, James." The boy stuck his hand into the box and pulled out a card, he read the country and smiled.
"One minute, starts… now!" Immediately, the boy went to giving a clue.
"Has the name of a biblical king in its name!" He shouted. His groupmates were racking their brains for an answer. "Come on guys, it's so easy!!" He shouted.
"Solomon Islands!" Someone finally shouted from the group.
"Correct!" The boy shouted as he pulled out another card. "Um… maple leaves!"
"Canada!"
"Um… wounds like a word synonymous to starving!"
"Hungary!" Before he could get another card, time was up and they only got 3 points. It was now Riza's group's turn.
"I can do better than that." Michael confidently said, looking at Riza.
"You sure, Mike?" A girl asked him. "Maybe Riza can do it… she's always been good with countries." Roy smiled.
"Or maybe Roy can do it… you look smart! Why don't you do it?" The girl turned to Roy. Michael looked disappointed.
"But, I can do it."
"Shush Michael, you'll get your chance… I mean, come on, it's so that he can experience it."
"Okay fine." Michael said with a disappointed tone as Roy stood up. The teacher looked surprised when Roy stood up.
"Ah… the new student, what's your name son?"
"Roy. Roy Mustang."
"Pleasure to meet you. You understood the rules, yes? Alright, get a card and then we'll start." Roy got a card and immediately smiled. Riza noticed that her female schoolmates were giggling and blushing.
"Start!"
"Mount Fuji." Roy calmly said.
"Japan!" The group replied almost in unison. Roy picked out another car.
"Leaning Tower of Pisa." Roy asked once more.
"Italy!" Riza answered with a smile. Roy nodded and picked out a card. They were barely twenty seconds in and they already had two points.
"Mahatma Gandhi."
"India." Michael answered before anyone else did.
"The ancient Persian empire."
"Iran!" Riza remembered that lesson in their world history class. They were a point up.
"Smallest country…" Roy asked with a smirk.
"Vatican City." Riza calmly replied.
"Country spanning two continents." Roy asked, sensing that time was almost up.
"Russia!" the group replied in unison, and their turn ended.
"Amazing… six points! Impressive, Mr… erm…"
"Mustang."
"Impressive, Mr. Mustang." Roy put his hands in his pockets, and went back to his seat. Their group mates patted his back and congratulating him. Only Michael was unimpressed. The other groups had their turn and they had another turn, this time with Michael playing for them.
"Start, Michael."
"Fifty states."
"USA."
"Eiffel Tower."
"France." Michael was trying to be cool and calm like Roy. All that went away when he pulled out his third card.
"Oh shoot. Pass." Roy shook his head, a smirk evident on his face. Michael picked another class and waited for the ten seconds to pass.
"Pass." Michael said getting frustrated. He knew Roy was indeed better at that than he was. Before he could get another card, time was up. Rather angrily, he went back to his chair and was in a bad mood the rest of the time.
--
As soon as classes let out at four, the group went back to where they were staying to prepare for the ball.
"You could hear his tone… he wanted to impress me." Riza said stiffly as she and Roy went up to their floor.
"Yeah, and he was trying his hardest to beat what I did." Roy said with a laugh. "But sadly, he failed."
"Alright Mr. Geographer… I'll be in my room."
"You'll be pretty to me no matter what." Roy said complimenting her.
"Oh don't flatter me." Riza said, her eyebrow rose as she pulled out the key and opened their door. "See you later Roy."
"Alright… see you."
--
A few minutes later, Aurelia knocked on the door and Riza let her in before going into the bathroom.
"Help me fix my hair will you Riza? I'll fix your hair too. So you can knock them out." Aurelia said with a grin.
"Sure thing." Riza replied before closing the door to the bathroom. When Riza was done, Aurelia took her turn and Riza dried her hair while seated on the bed. As she rummaged through her bag for lotion, the letters fell out. She stared at the letters lying on the floor, some written by her father, some by her mother. At once, questions went in and out of her head. Why did her aunt not allow her to go back to their house? What were they hiding? Why were the house surroundings looked well-kept? She picked up the letters and examined them. The papers were turning light brown, but whatever was written was well preserved. Before she could open one of the letters, she heard shouting and laughing outside.
"Oh come on, Ed!" She heard through the door. It was Maes. She toweled dry her hair and put it on a chair and opened the lock.
"Aurelia, I'll step out for a moment." She called out and left the room. When she left the room, she saw Roy, Maes and Ed standing outside Roy and Maes' room.
"Am I interrupting anything?" Riza asked as she closed the door.
"Edward here has a small problem, and doesn't want to get over it." Maes explained. Roy was laughing so hard.
"Well, it's easy for you to say, since you can dance!" Ed complained.
"Is that the problem? You can't dance?" Riza asked as she approached the group,
"It's not that I can't dance… I don't dance. I hate it." Ed said with a pout.
"I can help you…" Riza offered.
"There's no need to do that. I won't dance at all tonight." Ed replied, defiant.
"No can do, Elric… Ms. R. won't allow it." Roy answered, now able to speak properly.
"Then I'll find a way!"
"You know Ed, you can just learn to get over that… Riza's offering to help." Maes pointed out. "And besides, a lot of girls might want to dance with you and you might disappoint them."
"But I--"
"No buts…"
"I have two left feet! I might just step on girls' toes."
"That's why I'm helping you. Come on." Riza replied, stepping forward. Ed, although reluctant, did.
"Take her hands Ed." Roy told him. Ed reluctantly did, taking her right hand and putting his left on her waist.
"This is so damn hard…" Ed complained.
"Why? Is it because you're short?" Roy taunted.
"I dare you to say that again."
"You're short." Roy bravely said.
"Ed, you have to learn to dance properly without any fears." Maes interjected.
"You step forward with your right foot." Riza instructed. He did so, but it was too wide and he ended up stepping on Riza's toes.
"Ouch!" Riza exclaimed as she stood on one foot and rubbed her toes.
"See! I told you! I'm an embarrassment!" Ed shouted.
"Ed, come back here! We're not done yet. I can take care of my foot, but I'm not going back to my room if you don't learn to get over your fears." Riza commanded.
"Yes, ma'am!" Ed said, surprised and scared at the tone used. He took her hands again and tried once more. He got the first step right.
"Now step your left." He did so, this time making sure he didn't step on her toes, still slightly nervous. Ed would hesitate once in a while and check if he was stepping on anything soft. "Then your right… then your left…" Ed closed his eyes, not wanting to see Riza's face if he stepped on her toes again.
"See Ed? You're dancing!" Riza said with a smile. Ed slowly opened his eyes, and saw that he was, although very slow, dancing. Ed then stopped.
"I can dance! HA! I TOLD YOU." Ed shouted, stomping his foot and once more stepped on Riza's toes.
"Oww! Ed!" Riza's face showed the pain. Roy and Hughes laughed hard.
"Now you need to learn how to make sure that you won't step on a girl's toes!" Roy exclaimed, laughing.
"I'll show you Mustang! You'll see! At least I can dance!" Ed proudly said as he went back to his room. When he closed his door, Riza turned to go back to her room.
"Hey Riza… you okay?" Roy asked.
"Yeah, nothing a little massage can't do. I'll take care of it. Thanks for the concern Roy. I'll see you later." She said as she entered the room and closed the door.
"Haha, you better be a good dancer, Roy. Your date knows how to dance." Hughes joked.
"Oh shut up. I can dance well thank you."
--
"What was that?" Aurelia asked Riza when she entered the room. Aurelia was sitting on her bed, drying her hair.
"It's a boy thing…" Riza simply said with a grin as she retrieved her comb and combed her hair once more as she sat on her bed.
"If it's a boy thing, what were you doing outside, hmm?" Aurelia asked, a tone of suspicion in her voice.
"Let's just put it as me helping out sort things… after all, girls sometimes know the best answers to boy problems." Riza said before laughing. Aurelia joined in and laughed as well. Riza looked at her watch and saw it was already five.
"Hey, we better get started with our hair… we have to be downstairs before six thirty. And it's almost sunset too." Riza said. Aurelia nodded, stood up and went over to her bag. Much to Riza's surprise, Aurelia pulled out a lot of things from the smaller of her two bags. A whole make- \up kit, some hair spray, curling irons, a blow dryer and a lot of other things.
"You brought all that from Midgale?" Riza asked.
"Of course… we need to glam up! And I can't not take that chance. I'll do you first, since your hair is almost dry, then you do mine."
"Aurelia, you sure about this? Um, hair spray? Doesn't that damage the environment."
"Oh hush, hush… I'll only use a few sprays don't worry." Aurelia said assuring her and pulling out a chair for Riza in front of the cabinet where a large mirror was stored. Riza sighed before standing up and allowing Aurelia to do her hair.
"What color is your dress?" Aurelia asked as she ran a comb thorough Riza's hair.
"Periwinkle."
"Ah I see… Okay, so I can fix your make-up." Aurelia said as she plugged the iron and the blow dryer.
"Just make sure you won't overload the system." Riza warned.
"Of course…" Aurelia said, very happy. "Alright, I'll dry your hair first." She said as she used the blow dryer to quickly dry Riza's hair.
"Would you mind if I curl your hair?" Aurelia asked.
"Um… don't curl it too much. Maybe slightly curl the ends, make it a bit wavy. But don't curl my hair entirely… I don't like the idea of that." Riza replied. Aurelia nodded.
"I'll let you borrow one of my special barrettes alright?" Aurelia said as she turned off and put down the blow dryer and went to her accessory kit and pulled out a silver, ribbon-shaped barrette. It had little pink and white gems all over it. She put it beside the table, near her reach, and then she grabbed the curling iron.
"That's beautiful, Aurelia. You sure you don't want to use it?"
"No… it looks much better on you!" Aurelia said as she got locks of Riza's hair and slightly curled the ends.
"Alright then.. if you say so. How do you want your hair later?" Riza asked as her friend worked on her hair.
"Curled." Aurelia said with a smile. "As if my hair isn't curly enough." She added with a small laugh. Riza just smiled.
--
After a while, Riza was all done, hair and make-up. Then she stood up and switched seats with Aurelia.
"Thanks so much, Aurelia!" Riza said as her friend sat down. "Um… one thing though. I'm not too good with make-up. Hair and curling, I can do, but make-up is something I don't do."
"It's okay." Aurelia said. "I can do it on my own."
"Alright." Riza replied as she started fixing her friend's hair.
--
When they were both done, they got dressed and got the stuff they needed then went down to the lobby to meet up with the rest of the council. They saw that all the boys were there and were busy chatting.
"Hey there, is Ms. Ramirez done yet?" Aurelia greeted as she and Riza joined the group. Immediately, the conversation stopped and silence fell on the guys.
"What, it's like you've never seen girls in dresses before." Riza commented as she sat down on one of the chairs that Roy vacated for her. She noticed that as she sat down, Hughes elbowed Roy and winked.
"Um… no it's not that. You both look pretty." Roy complimented.
"Thanks." Aurelia answered. "So we're waiting for Nika, Stella and Ms. R.?"
"Naturally…" Ed answered. "The last person I'd expect to be all pretty tonight is Ms. R."
"I beg you to repeat that, Mr. Elric." A voice said from the stairs. Ed immediately froze and slowly turned to see that Ms. Ramirez was coming down the stairs wearing a simple black dress.
"Oh, you must have heard wrong, Ms. R!" Ed made an excuse.
"I assure you my hearing is fine. Ms. Hawkeye, please go up and tell Annika and Stella that we are leaving in five minutes." At once, Riza stood up and left the group. She went up the stairs and knocked on the door of her co council members. The door opened and Nika opened the door.
"Oh sorry, we're just fixing up the room." She said. Nika had her hair in a neat bun, and she was wearing a simple, but elegant white dress. Stella, who exited the room, was wearing a golden hair band and a strapless, light pink dress.
"You go on ahead; I'll just lock the room." Nika said. Riza nodded as she and Stella went down to rejoin the group.
"Nika's on her way." Riza informed them as she and Stella joined the group.
"Alright. Now, I am reminding you of your… behavior. Please I'm hoping you won't embarrass yourselves or the council. You are representing the school, I'm sure you're tired of that, but I must continuously stress on that. And yes, as much as Mr. Elric does detest it, I expect all of you to dance tonight. If a student from Green Grove asks you to dance, please, for your sake and mine, just accept it." Ms. Ramirez reminded them. They all nodded and once they were all there, they left the building and made their way to the convention hall inside the school where the ball was going to be held.
--
When they got there, they could see that students were still getting dropped off at the venue. Some we chatting and taking pictures of each other and just waiting for the event to start. They quickly made their way up to the main hall where they were quickly ushered into the hall and greeted warmly by teachers and administrators. Riza saw that the students were there, looking at them. Looking at her. The big hall was beautifully decorated with flowers and lights. There was an area for photos and the round tables were all around the hall. There was also a huge space for dancing, then there was the stage.
"You'll be seated at table three." The usher told them as she led them to their table. Each table was good enough for ten people, and they filled it up.
"Okay, go on and enjoy. Be back before the event starts." Ms. Ramirez told them. They just stared at her, no one wanting to go. "What's wrong with you? It's so simple to get up and mingle." And she herself stood up and went over to the administrators. One by one, they slowly stood up and went around. Roy offered his arm to Riza.
"I suggest we go over to the photo booth first?" Hughes suggested. They all nodded in agreement and went to one of the photo booths for a group shot.
"Everyone ready? Let's have two formal, and two informal shots." The photographer told them. The quickly arranged themselves and posed for the pictures. Just as they were about to leave, Hughes whispered something to Ed. Ed had a huge grin on his face and nodded. Maes cleared his throat.
"Excuse me sir, are couple pictures allowed?" The camera man looked up from his camera and the rest looked at Hughes. Roy and Riza definitely knew he was up to something and Roy opened his mouth to protest.
"Of course it's okay! Who wants to go first?" The photographer answered and at once seven fingers pointed to Roy and Riza.
"Oh you guys are just so funny." Roy said sarcastically, glaring at Hughes and Ed who had huge grins on their faces.
"Oh go on, Roy. You know you want to. Hurry up, there's still a lot of us here."
"Then you go ahead." Roy retorted.
"We insist. And it doesn't seem to bother Riza." Roy turned to Riza.
"I'm fine with it." She answered with a soft smile. He sighed and quickly led her to the photo area. He straightened out his suit and fixed his tie, while Riza fixed her hair.
"You two ready? Two formal, two informal." The photographer said.
"Roy come on, be a sport and pose properly." Hughes shouted. Roy, wishing that his best friend would stop just went with it. Form the corner of his eye, he also saw Michael and his friends approaching the booth, and so he quickly posed, putting his arms around Riza. Hughes and Ed whistled and clapped. They finished the other pictures and he saw that Michael was watching them the entire time. When the others were taking their picture, Riza asked Roy.
"You saw Michael didn't you?" She asked.
"Haha, yeah I did." He replied with his smirk.
"So you decided to play along?" She answered, still quite serious. His facial expression changed when he saw her seriousness.
"You didn't like it?" he asked. She was silent, then her lips broke into a smile.
"Got you." She said happily and Roy just stared at her. It took a while to register.
"Oh you're so cunning and funny, Riza Hawkeye."
"Lighten up. I know you enjoyed it." She replied as she held his hand and looked at their friends enjoying. Soon their fingers were intertwined.
--
Soon after, they had dinner. A band played live music and the photographer was moving around to take table pictures. Once in a while, someone from Green Grove would approach them and ask if everything was okay and if they needed anything.
"It is customary that whenever we have guests, we welcome them in a let's just say glamorous fashion. We want to make you feel welcome. To strengthen the bonds between students, we have the traditional dance after dinner. May I request the student council members from both Green Grove and Fountain Hill to please stand up and go to the dance area. They stood up from their chairs and followed the Green Grove members to the dance area. They had previously discussed who was dancing with whom. Maes was dancing with Nika, Roy with Riza, Victor with Aurelia and Ed with Stella. Ryan was dancing with Andreia Silviatti. They took their positions and formed a circle. They were arranged alternately around the circle, and Roy noticed that Michael and his partner, Kaitlyn were to their right.
"Look who's watching you like a hawk. Pun not intended." He said.
"I won't mind him. Let's just have fun, okay Roy?" He looked at her before finally saying okay. He took her in his arms and the music started to play. They slowly waltzed first in place, and soon they were moving around the circle. They would both glance at the others once in a while. They danced and enjoyed every moment of it. Ed had a huge grin on his face, telling them both that he was doing just fine and that he was enjoying.
"Looks like the shrimp is actually enjoying himself." Roy told Riza.
"He wouldn't like it if he heard you."
"Exactly. He didn't hear me." Roy justified. "Mind if I share something?" He asked them as they went around another time as the music was slowing.
"Sure go ahead." Riza said as they slowed down.
"I got a 1 out of fifty on my last quiz." Roy admitted. Riza just looked at him, disbelief on her face.
"What happened?" She asked, concerned as they were coming to a stop.
"I got a one out of fifty… because you're the one thing that's right in my life." He replied with a smirk. They finally came to a stop.
"Oh you are so corny, Roy Mustang."
--
WHEW! I have to end it there guys! I have a lot of stuff to do. As I said, the sem is ending. So probably the next chapter will be up middle of October. The corny pick-up line is all my classmate's fault. I do hope you guys review! Thanks so much for reading! Hope you enjoyed it.
