Sorry about this late update but I don't have enough time to write fanfic! There are the reasons:

1.Schooooooooool!!!!!! (Everybody have to suffer it!)

2. The Sims 2 (Ehm, no commends, but you know that there is one hairstyle looking exactly like Riza's?)

3.My own book – maybe one day I'll publish it and then translate into English. It is a story, title: "Nesti", about one monster, called Nesti who is totally crazy and fun. One day he decided to run orphanage, although he is very young – 19 years. But he makes a friendship with a woman Basia (Becky in English) who is very shy and have scary mother. Basia and Nesti are best friends. They help each other and together struggle difficulties. Nesti fell in love in one journalist who wants only takes advantage of him. Ok, Nesti in some way is very similar to Envy, but in character he is slightly different.

Chapter 8

Scieszka and Scar

The night was beautiful just like the day before. Stars were glowing on the perfect black sky. For many people this night was the best in their lives. But not exactly for Ed. He was sitting on his bed and tried to find out what Envy was planning now. But pale face was mysterious for him.

"Envy…"

"What, shorty?"

"Don't call me…" Ed began but Winry entered the room.

"She left" she said.

Now everyone was looking at cute homonoculus. He took a glass of milk from Winry and drank it. Ed trembled, he didn't like milk. Envy sat comfortably on Ed's bed and stretch on the white bed–clothes.

"What are you planning to do, Envy?" Al asked. "I don't want mother Riza to be hurt."

"Sorry" Envy gave him a smile "I simply like to make people suffer. I like to mess around."

"You bastard!" Ed stood up and went to the door. "You are..."

"Your boyfriend, shorty."

Winry and Al laughed. Ed turned around. His face was red. He pointed his finger on Envy and shouted:

"You are NOT my boyfriend! Neither I yours!"

"Oh, come on, sweetie, there is nothing to be shame about" Envy put his hands behind his head. "Everybody has known that."

"What do you mean everybody ?" Ed was upset. He looked carefully on Winry and Al. They both turned red and glanced at their shoes.

"This sexy Colonel known, his comrades, all military..." counted homonoculus with evil smile "...everyone who bought today Gossip . You are quite famous, Full Metal Shorty."

"Stop calling my brother shorty!" Al squeezed his hands into fists "He doesn't like it."

"How the newspapers could write about relationship between Edward and you Sin?" Winry asked.

"I have many useful friends" Envy stood up too "You know K, don't you?"

"K?! Mother Riza's brother?!"

"Sorry, I'd love to stay and chat" homonoculus changed his shape into tall, looking like he was absent-minded solider "but I have a work to do. You can follow me and see the greatest show about love and envious. Come on!"

Riza was sitting next to the most dangerous men in Central City - Scar from Ishbar. She tried to think that he wasn't this well known murderer but just an ordinary guy who was dating with her now. That was hard, especially for a woman who was subordinate of alchemist, but thinking about Roy…

Restaurant was good, no one from her family was working hear - she had checked it. Scar looked very serious – in a suit he was hart to recognize. Only this scar on his forehead could betray him. Riza was pleased. She liked to be seen in a company with some smart guy. That gave her lots of confidence. They had a talk about Ed and Al. Riza found out that Scar really liked them. Yes, few months ago he planed to kill Edward because he was national alchemist. But after that he realized Ed was someone worth to live. He had a brother, really nice and cute. If Edward had died, Alphonce would have been sad. Scar had got a brother, long time ago, and he knew the pain of loosing someone very important to you. Riza enjoyed talking with him. It didn't bother her that his all second word was "God". He was quite intelligent guy, maybe religious too much, but for her it was ok. He wasn't cocky, conceited and irresponsible like someone... never mind.

If Riza really had wanted to forget about Colonel Roy Mustang, she should escape from Central City, from Amestris, from this world because all universes (in Envy's person) decided to match her with him. Mysterious power made that in this minute to this lovely restaurant entered Flame Alchemist with his scared young woman. He glanced at the tables and quickly found out one with Miss Hawkeye and her friend. He smiled to himself and went in this way. At firs Riza didn't see him but when he stood in front of her and said:

"Good afternoon, First Lieutenant"

She jumped and gave him an odd look.

"C- colonel!" she stammered out. "What are you doing here... sir?"

"Oh" Roy made room for his girlfriend and himself "The night is beautiful, miss Lieutenant so I'm on a date. Aren't you too?"

Riza lifted her look to Roy's partner. It was nice, quiet girl with big glasses, not exactly in his type. She couldn't be much older than Winry or Ed. But she was pleased she was asking to date with THIS Colonel, the famous alchemist. But now, in front of beautiful grown woman (he was giving her suspicious looks, like he was… jealous?) she felt really uneasily.

"Sorry to forget about my partner" Roy turned to her "First Lieutenant, ehm… Scar, this is Scieszka."

"How do you do" Riza was polite, Scieszka felt that her cheeks were hot. Scar was behaving like gentleman. He offered Scieszka a chair. Roy sat near Riza. At first they had nothing to talk about. Roy said something unimportant, Riza answered. Then Scieszka began to ask Scar about his homeland Ishbar. It maybe wasn't very polite to ask, but...

"In the centre there was a big library" he was describing "There were so many books, only my brother read them all."

"What sort of books were there?"

"Many, I can't exactly remember, but sometimes it was hard to get one. For example I was waiting two and half a month for Jenny Black's "Ice""

"You read "Ice"!" Scieszka was amazed.

"Yes"

"Wow! Not many people have read it. It is really difficult book with many deep minds."

"I see you are the one who read it too" Scar was interested in this strange girl. "And what you think about it?"

"In chapter four was written that…"

Riza and Roy looked at each other. They didn't know anything about Jenny Black's "Ice". They even didn't know that someone like she ever excited. Their two companions quickly forgot about them and talked about books that they had read. Scieszka found out that Scar was really educated person. He knew lot about everything which had deep meanings. Roy raised his eyebrow. Riza was feeling stupid.

"You know what they are talking about?" he asked her.

"Sorry, I don't sir"

"In chapter eleven of "Humanity"…"

"So, I'm not alone. You are with me like always, First Lieutenant." He smiled.

"It is a dishonor that we – officers don't know what the talk is about."

"It's rude that on the date my and your partner is interested in someone else."

"Are you always interested in only one woman when you are on a date, sir?"

"Am I?"

Riza said nothing. Roy was watching her face. Now, when she was angry, she was more beautiful. His heart bit faster. They would now stand up, leave this place, go to his or her house and have unforgettable night. Why this couldn't happen?

"I'm impressed!" Scieszka said "I've never met so smart and intelligent person before! It's unbelievable that you read this all books in Ishbar!"

"Why? I don't know why all people think that Ishbar was barbaric civilization? Our religion was only against alchemy."

"I have always thought that you are rather close for other civilization."

"No, we are not. Please, don't think like that, Miss Scieszka. We only took good parts of other civilizations but being close to God is obliging. We can understand many thinks better, for example woman's beauty."

Scieszka blushed.

"What do you mean, mister Scar?"

"And what do you think?" Roy whispered maliciously.

"Sir!" Riza hissed.

He turned to her.

"We are unnecessary here Riza."

"Sir!"

"They won't notice if we leave them. Oh, come on, don't be so official all the time! We are on a date and can have a little of fun!"

"Enjoy your date, sir!" Riza was pissed of "You always try to make friendship with others when you are with someone, don't you?"

Roy thought that he would never understand women. You go on a date with them - you do wrong, you ask another to go out - you do even worse! He thought Riza was different - no, she wasn't. She was like all women he met, adding she was blonde! That made her the most mysterious for men. The only one thing that he knew about her was that she wanted to protect him. Sweet, really, but he'd rather have some pretty girl to have a sex with! He could protect himself!

"Ok" he stood up "I will walk myself."

And he left the restaurant. Outside there was small party waiting for him. The leader of a group, tall, little absent-minded guy saluted to Roy.

"We are waiting for you orders, Colonel!"

"What Envy is planning to do?" Winry asked from her safety hiding place on the roof.

"I don't know and I don't care about it!" Edward shrugged.

"Maybe we should intervene?" Alphonce's voice was full of worry. "If he wants to do something Mother Riza..."

"If he does, I'll punish him!" Edward lied on his back and started to watch the stars.

"They are on the left" Roy was explaining something "Scar and two women. If they put up resistance..."

Everybody in the restaurant jumped when armed soldiers came in. Riza glanced at them.

"It's all Roy's fault!" she whispered "Scar, run away! I will talk to them and get theirs attention."

"Please stay calm! We are looking for dangerous murderer!"

"Run away!"

"Will I see you again?" Scieszka was looking at Scar in very special way.

"I will pray for that moment" Scar put her hands in his. "I will find you, miss Scieszka."

"Oh, mister Scar!"

"RUN AWAY YOU FOOL!"

Too late, the party noticed them and aimed their guns. Scar just wanted to use his arm, but Scieszka stopped him.

"No, mister Scar, please no!" she cried.

"What are you doing?" Riza shouted to the party. "Who gave you an order to interrupt someone's peaceful life?"

"Colonel Mustang, miss." Absent-minded leader went to her.

"Good. I'm his subordinate, First Lieutenant Hawkeye and I want to see him."

"Don't be overconfident, bitch!"

"You will be punished for talking in such way to an officer!" Riza was wrathful "Your name and rang?"

"Arrest them all!"

Soldiers surrounded theirs table. The handcuffs were put on Scieszka's and Scar's hands.

"Please, do not harm anyone!" Scieszka was crying to him.

And he really did nothing. He let them drive them into jail and put them in one cell. He and Scieszka sat quietly on the back of the cell and tried to end their interrupt talk. But Riza didn't give up.

"Hey!" she shouted to prisoners' guardian, who was reading a newspaper "I know Colonel Mustang!"

"And I know President Bradley!" the guardian answered.

"Excellent, I know him too! Please telephone to our common friend and tell him that someone has made terrible mistake and First Lieutenant Hawkeye was prisoned!"

"Ok, sweetheart!" man was interested only in his reading.

"Fine! Please, give me a phone, I'll make a call to someone who will explain all thing, please!"

"No, madam. You were found with dangerous guy and you will stay here until everything will be explain."

"OH, I HATE YOU ROY!"

She looked at Scieszka and Scar but quickly turned her red face to the guardian.

"Hey, I'm a virgin! I'm not used to watch porns! Please let me free or my virgin nature will be harm!"

"Shut up! Don't you see I'm busy!"

Riza was trying not to look at Scieszka and Scar. They were enjoying themselves. Suddenly something came up to Riza's mind. She remembered that one's she took a book about alchemy from her sons. If her memory was good, she would have had it still in her pocket. She reached for it and yes, it was there! She quickly glanced at guardian and opened a book.

"If Roy and even children like Ed and Al know alchemy, it can't be difficult."

She began to look for some useful information. She found a chapter, about building a hole in an object. Then she found some piece of chalk. Another glance at Scieszka and Scar being completely in love with each other, and she began to draw a transmutation circle on a wall. Then she put her hand on it. The circle shined. After few seconds there was a big hole instead of it. Riza was satisfied.

"Maybe I'll be an alchemist?" she thought.

She went throw the hole. She stood on a narrow mould. Carefully Riza began to go to the safety exit. There was a nice drainpipe looking quite trustful.

"Wait, Flame Alchemist" she whispered throw her teeth "I'm coming!"
