I forgot to make Zoisite from "Sailor Moon" one of the member of Riza's family. Oh, never mind, he could be in another fanfic. Now, another chapter, quite long, with maaany mistakes. Please comments all of them (and action too).

Chapter 6

The Date

Roy never loved Riza. He knew she did, but he couldn't. It was good and useful to have her around you. She was smart, clever and good marksman; she often saved his valuable life. That's why he couldn't love her. She behaved like she was his mother and he didn't want to have another mum. She sometimes complained about him and she always had right. And calling him "Colonel" in every situation was annoying. Of course he didn't mind if the girl would have called him "President" in the hottest moment, but why absolutely always "Colonel"? If sometimes she would had said "You are wrong, Roy", things would be easier (but she would better say: "You are handsome, Roy"). He simply knew he was an attractive person. Girls fought for his one smile. She's got him every day and that had to be enough for her. But, something had changed...

That night, she was sexy and so cool. She begged for love and offered all herself. He couldn't resist. It wasn't he was "easy". He simply lost his head for beautiful women. He never thought that Riza would be "beautiful" woman, but when he called that night... She had come back from lady's room. She had looked at him in special way. He never thought he could be so exciting for woman. He had seen it in her red eyes. In that moment he had thought he was stupid. He had rejected beauty and love so many times. And it didn't matter that she invited him for date.

"She is quick, she can't resist my charm any longer" he thought.

"Sorry, brother, I don't understand what you are talking about" Al was sitting in front of Ed and carefully listing what his older brother had to tell.

Ed turned around. Riza was in the corridor, watching her mirror image and checking which necklace suited her best. She was smiling and singing a song - song about love. She put her best dress - red, which highlight her eyes. She was very happy and Al didn't know why. She came back earlier from work yesterday, in great mood. She went to bed and sleep over ten hours. Ed came after her, not as happy as she was. He told Al to wait for further explanation and went to bed too. So, Al waited. He asked mother Riza, when she woke up, if she didn't have to go to work, but she only smiled and started to sing. And then she gave him a lightly kiss.

"Today is my day, Al" she sang. "I'll go out with the most important person in my life! Al, I'm so happy and want you to be happy too. You can invite Winry, if you like to."

"M-mother Riza!"

Ed was watching her. He didn't seem to be as happier. He was smiling, but looked at Al time to time and gave him some signals. At last they found one minute alone and they talked about what happened"

"It's simple" Ed shrugged "Envy changed into Riza and Roy and arrange the date."

"Envy?!" Al asked "This homonoculus?"

"Yes, this bastard."

"So, Envy decided to be good character, didn't he?" Al smiled.

"Envy never did anything good. He is the worst person I ever met. Even his kiss is bad!"

"What?!"

"He decided to break Colonel Mustang party from the inside. Roy will think that Riza picked him up and want her to continue it and Riza will think that Roy told her about their love. They will argue, Riza will be very disappointed and leave the Colonel. It's simple; only such stupid like Envy could make up this plan."

"You will make mother Riza suffer!" Al didn't enjoy that evil plan.

"Don't be ridiculous, Al. She is that kind of person who will soon find someone new to protect and love."

"But, look at her – she is happy and beautiful now. You will break her heart!"

"Not we, the Colonel"

"You force him to do it. Please, brother. Still, you don't like homonoculus, especially this Envy. Why do you cooperate with him?"

"I don't cooperate with him! We have only the same aim, that's it!" Ed's face turned red.

Riza entered the room. She was wearing that nice red dress and amber's necklace.

"How do I look?" she asked and turned around. Brothers looked at each other. Roy will be shocked. Or maybe delight.

"You are beautiful, mother Riza" said Al.

"Yes, very beautiful" Ed gave her a smile.

Riza blushed. Again she turned around, improved her hair and bit her lips.

"Thank you boys!" she was smiling to them. "I wish all your dreams came true too. I will be happy when you will find your true love."

"Thanks" said Ed thinking about Envy and his kiss.

"Thank you, mother Riza" Al said thinking about Winry.

"Do you really love him?" Edward was carefully looking at her.

She screwed her eyes.

"For me, he is the most important person. I simply can't avoid it. Maybe it's ridiculous" she laughed "because many women say they are in love in him, but for me... I think my love is different. I love him not because he is handsome. Of course he is, but it doesn't matter for me. I have known him for many years. We are like an old married couple."

"So, he isn't devoted husband." Ed remarked.

"Brother!" Al shouted but Riza only smiled.

"Till this day, it didn't matter for me. Those women maybe had him for these two or three days... and one night, but I had got him always. He and I were always together, we understand each other without any word. I'm happy he loves me too, even if it took him so much time to understand it."

"That's beautiful" Al was touched.

Ed said nothing. Then suddenly rang doorbell.

"Now?!" Riza looked at the silver watch on her wrist. "He arrived quite early."

"Maybe there is mrs Peacock?" Al asked.

"Maybe" Riza glanced at the door "Alphonce, could you open the door, please?"

"Ok, mother Riza"

Al went to the corridor to open the door. Ed was still sitting on his bed and watching Riza. He knew she would be very disappointed after the date with Roy.

"Good evening!" they heard loud voice from the corridor "The telephone's line in this area is broken. Mrs Peacock, the housekeeper, sent me here to repair it."

"Telephone doesn't work?" Riza left boy's bedroom and went to the corridor too, when the telephone was placed.

Ed heard when she lifted the receiver.

"Yes, it doesn't work. Please repair it."

And she went to her room. If telephones didn't work, Roy couldn't call to her if something important happened. But luckily she heard a sound of car's horn. She looked through the window. Roy was there, standing alone near the new car and happily weaving to her.

"Good evening, First Lieutenant!" he shouted.

"Good evening, Colonel!" She waved back and smiled.

"Are you ready, First Lieutenant, to the night adventure?"

"I'm always ready, sir. It's my duty!"

"Good, First Lieutenant. Be loyal and you will be promoted soon!"

"Hey, what's happening down there?" one tenant, major Slope, was angrily looking at Riza from his window.

"Sorry, major Slope" Riza smiled to him "I'm just talking with my boss. I will be down in few minutes" she turned to Roy "Please wait for me, sir!"

She quickly put on her light, blue coat and left the room. Ed was standing at the corridor with his arms crossed on his chest. Telephone repairer was doing something with the phone. Only Al shacked Riza's hand.

"Good luck, mother Riza. You are so beautiful; he won't resist your charm. And won't come back before the morning."

"Thank you, Al. I will do my best!"

Ed only muttered something like "Hi!" but Riza kissed his cheek.

"I know you don't like the Colonel, but he is a good person" she said, looking deeply into his eyes "And he loves you, I know it."

The door was shut.

"I'd like mother Riza to be happy." Said Al and went back to his room.

Ed looked at the strange telephone's repairer.

"You are the worst mechanist I have ever met, Envy" he said.

Envy looked at him.

"And you can't hold a secret, you shrimp. You have already told everything this sexy lady, haven't you?"

"Don't call me short, you bastard!"

"Brother" Al shouted, still sitting in their room. "Can you come here?"

"Yes" Ed shouted.

Envy stood exactly behind his back. He felt his soft breath on his ear. Slim Envy's hand slipped into Ed's pocket on his back.

"Here, two tickets" the breath stroked alchemist's hair.

"What are you doing, you pervent?!" Ed shouted.

"You stupid, it's for your brother and his pitch!"

"Winry is not a pitch! You are a..."

"Hey, you little, we have a work to do. So, please don't argue. Now" he put his hand out of Ed's pocket "come and give it to him."

Edward entered the room. Al looked at him.

"Is the telephone repaired?" he asked and stood up. "I want to make a call."

"Yes, I know." Ed felt a horrible hot on his cheeks "No, telephone hasn't been repaired yet and I don't think so it will be repair. But, anyway" he reached for his back pocket and drew out two tickets. "It's for you and Winry."

Al was surprise, but glad. He quickly took the tickets from Ed. He looked at the title and suddenly started to jump with great happiness. Then he hugged Ed.

"Oh brother, I love you so much! You are the best brother, I will do everything for you! Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you..."

"Al, please, calm down!" Ed was smiling but hard breathing. "It's not from me... never mind."

"How did you know I have always wanted to go to opera version of Dragonball !"

"I hope you will enjoy it. I know you have always wanted to see solo of Songo – kun. I myself don't like that sort of thinks. And always prefer Sailor Moon . Or maybe Slayers , but ballet version. Oh yes, Goury in tights."

"You are sweet, brother!"

"Hey, shorty!" Envy put his green head into the room. He had changed into his normal, cute male form.

"I'd like to go now or we will miss all the fun."

"Yes, I'm going too." Ed said turning around. Then he looked up at Al "Good luck!"

And he lifted his automail thump.

Riza was feeling like she was in heaven. She was sitting opposite to Roy, who was smiling to her. The restaurant was nice and quite anonymous. The candle was glowing between them.

"You have beautiful eyes" he whispered.

"Thank you, Colonel" she answered blushing.

"We will still talking to each other using our ranks? Ok, it doesn't matter if I have to call you MY Lieutenant"

"Please call me Riza" she said. "But I will always be YOUR Lieutenant, YOUR Major, YOUR Lieutenant Colonel... "

"You are holding such a big goal."

"I will do my best for MY president and country."

"And what if your president dismisses you?"

"It depends"

"Depends of what?"

"Of the president and kind of dismiss."

Roy smiled. He was thinking why he hadn't dated with Riza previously. She was a woman definitely in his type, why he didn't see this obvious thing before?

"You will look nice in the miniskirt."

"You will not force me to wear miniskirt."

"Of course I will."

"I wonder how."

"It will be an order. You have to follow an order, even when it is stupid."

"That's why I will be dismissed."

"But you told me you will protect me. How you want to do it if you don't belong to the military?"

"I will think about it, don't worry, sir." Riza screwed her eyes.

She was so happy about being alone with Roy. She enjoyed flirting with him and behaving like that.

"So" Roy said "I have to buy bigger bed. You must protect me even in the night, in my bedroom. I have so many opponents."

"Thank you, but I will sleep in an armchair."

"No, you won't. And if something happened to me in the bed, what would you do?"

"I will fire."

"You are hot, miss Beautyeye."

"And you know I never miss the aim."

"Excuse me, could I take an order?" the waitress suddenly turned up near their table.

Riza lifted her head, opened her mouth and then...

"Vicki!"

Redheaded Vicki looked down at her older sister. She shouted happily:

"Riza!"

Then she hugged her.

"What are you doing here, Vicki?" Riza asked.

"Hellsing doesn't work at holiday so I had to find a new job. But what are YOU doing here, Riza?"

Vicki turned her head into Roy. He smiled at her.

"Good evening" he said.

"Oh, sorry" Riza stood up. She was a bit nervous. Vicki appearance was like brutal awakening after very good dream. She didn't know if she had to first introduce her sister to the Colonel, or maybe the Colonel to her sister.

"Vicki, this is my boss, Colonel Roy Mustang..."

"THAT Roy?" Vicki gave him strange look.

"Colonel, this is my sister Victoria. She is working in the Hellsing organization."

"I'm impressed" Roy said and kissed Vicki hand.

"We are here in the business matter" added Riza quickly.

"I see." Vicki was looking at her nice dress. Then she turned to Roy. "I have always wanted to meet you, Mister Roy. Riza always tells me fantastic stories about you. There is no letter without even one paragraph about you."

"Really?!" Roy was surprise and gazed at Riza. "I'd like to know what my subordinate is writing about me to her sister."

"Oh" Victoria blushed "Many good things. One, constant topic is how extremely handsome you are."

"Vicki!" Riza took a glance of Roy. Only she had so bad luck with men – when she is on a date, all universe decide to screw it up.

"And am I?" Roy asked.

Vicki was blushing and Riza was thinking about committing a murder on her younger sister. Vicki was wearing REALLY short miniskirt and had so tight blouse which highlight her big breasts. Riza wouldn't ever wear such things. Her dress was long and not tight on bust. But Roy was enjoying the sight of REAL female officer.

"Riza's got always right." Vicki said.

He laughed.

"And if she hasn't got" he said "follow the point first."

"I see you know her very well."

"Yes, we are working together. I'm her boss, but sometimes I think she is the one who gives an order."

"All Riza."

"Excuse me" Riza felt like she was unnecessary in this place "I will go home now. My sons are waiting."

"No, you can't!" Vicki turned to her "Cher and Hubb are here. I will call them. HEY, CHER, HUBB, RIZA IS HERE WITH HER BOYFRIEND! COME HERE AND MEET HIM! HE IS SO CUTE!" And she went somewhere for looking another part of beloved Riza's family.

Riza sat down. She was confused and angry. Roy smiled at her.

"You have nice sister." He said.

"Thank you."

Roy sighted and started to look for sight of Vicki.

"Don't say now that you invite me here to match me with your sister." He glanced at Riza "That this all was only to attract me here and introduce to this lovely Vicki. But, anyway, your body is the most dangerous weapon you have ever had. When you want to, you are quite seductive, First Lieutenant."

"I didn't invite you here." Riza was surprise "It was you who proposed me a date here."

"No." Roy was surprise too "I remember that you, between one kiss and another, told me that you know nice, anonymous restaurant for us."

"No. You told me about it throw the door, because I was locked in the lady's room."

"I never..."

"Good evening" Cher and Hubb suddenly appeared near the table, just like Vicki before.

"Ehm" Riza was confused and embarrassed "Family, this is my boss Colonel Roy Mustang. Colonel, this is my family: my older sister Cher, her ex – husband Hubb, and their children: Kiba, Tsume, Hige i Toboe."

"Good evening"

"Good evening"

"Hello"

Roy gazed at the Cher's stomach. Like Elrics before, he didn't understand why this pregnant woman went out with her ex – husband and her four children. But, it was the mystery of Riza's family. Cher, Hubb and children sat around the table. Riza was squashed between big pessimist Tsume and always talking Toboe. Cher sat on the left hand of Roy but jealous Hubb sat on the right hand.

"Ok!" Vicki, with her pen and notebook was ready to take an order "What would you all like to eat?"

"Raw meat."

"Hige!" Mother angrily looked at her son.

"I don't want anything to eat" Tsume said.

"Tsume, behave yourself" scolded him Hubb.

"I don't want too" Kiba said "Especially meat. It is made from animals. We can't eat our brothers and sisters."

"Kiba, you have read some stupid book again!"

"It wasn't stupid book!" Kiba felt offended. " Way to Paradise isn't a bad book. It opens my eyes for..."

"I'd like Mickey Mouse's Set" Toboe said.

"Everyone will have Mickey Mouse." decided Cher.

"Ok, four Mickey Mouse" Vicki wrote.

"But, mum, why..."

"Discussion is over!"

"We have never kissed" Riza was looking at Roy.

"Yes, you kissed me that night, when you had tried to seduce me." Roy was still surprise.

"No, I've never seduce you, you know me."

"Why I have to eat meat?"

"Because it is very healthy."

"It was you who tried to seduce me. You called me sweetheart and went to lady's room to check if I'm still alive."

"No, of course not. It was you who started it. You have called me dear and looking at me like you wanted to eat me!"

"I'll not eat anything that was ever alive!"

"No, you asked me something like why are you so cold? and hugged me!"

"Oh, look!" shouted Vicki "K is coming. Hey, K!!!"

Another member of weird Riza's family entered the restaurant. He waved to happy Vicki.

"Hello!" he shouted.

Riza jelled. Something bad was going to happened and she felt it. K came to their table.

"Hello everyone!"

"Hi K!"

He sat between Toboe and Hige. He looked at Cher.

"Are you still pregnant, Cher – darling?"

"As you can see!" Cher stood up and showed her big stomach.

"I sometimes think" K turned to Riza "How does Cher look when she is not pregnant."

"Yes" Vicki said "One day we won't recognize you. You have to always wait for a child."

"And what name did you choose?" K turned back to Cher.

"I have told you before – Cheza."

"And if it won't be a girl?"

"Hubb and Cher will try until they finally get one." Vicki said with a smile. "But maybe Riza will be first."

"You are pregnant too, Riza – darling?" K asked.

"N-..."

"She is on a date with THIS Roy." Vicki shouted and pointed to Roy.

"Oh!" K turned to him. "I don't know you. Are you someone famous?"

"K!" Riza was nearly to cry. She was shacking and didn't know what to do. Personally she wanted to escape but she knew she couldn't.

"He is the Colonel!" Cher said "Riza never goes out with anyone uninterested."

"Colonel? Roy the Colonel? I have never heard about you, sorry. Did you sing something?"

"I think no" Roy answered.

"That's why I didn't hear about you. So, what are you doing here, Roy?"

"I told you he is on a date with our Riza." Vicki answered quickly.

"Ha, at last Riza finds someone! Good girl! You will no longer tell us about this stupid your boss who never even noticed you. Good girl. So, we know, what you are doing now, Roy, but what's your job?"

"I have already told you, K" Vicki said "He is the Colonel, an alchemist and this stupid boss of Riza."

"K! Vicki!" Riza stood up.

"Oh" K turned to her "So, why did you arrange to date with him?"

"I didn't arrange anything!"

Roy's face said opposite.

"But, more important, Riza – darling: are you pregnant with him?"

"No! Listen, K, I'm on a date and I want to be alone. Please, could you leave me and Colonel alone?" Riza's voice was still low, but they all knew she was furious.

"Where do we have to go, Riza – darling?"

"Just go out, please!"

"We can't" Cher shaked her head "We have already order."

"I can't too" said Vicki "I'm working here."

"Ok, fine." Riza was looking like she was loosing control. "So, everyone, please excuse me, I must go."

And she took her beg and went out.

"Riza!" Roy stood up too, but he was sat down again by Cher.

"Hold on, Roy the Colonel." K smiled. "We – the only living Riza's family want to know what you are planning to do with our sister."

"It's obvious" Cher said "He wants to go to bed with her and then leave."

"No, he can't" Victoria smiled at him "I know he is good."

"He will marry her if she gets pregnant" Hubb said.

"Definitely" K looked deeply into Roy's eyes "But, tell us the truth: why are you with Riza and why weren't you before? And would you like to sing something?"

"Ehm..." Roy was confused and embarrassed just like Riza before.

Um, I just want to add something. That flirting had much more sense for me in polish, because in my language lieutenant colonel is like – under colonel (podpułkownik), so Riza's utterance "I would be your Under Colonel (będę twoim podpułkownikiem)" with a little of imagination can be treat like talking about some sexual experience (Riza will be "under"). I don't know, if I made a good explanation for it, but believe me, in polish it sounds really good.
