Jaz: I got a couple of reviews asking if Mustang was Kernal or Colonel. Well, thanks for seeing to my mistakes… He's suppose to be Colonel.. I accidently put Kernal… (Ya.. Ive only seen 3 episodes in the whole series… and I didn't think Kernal or Colonol would be a big of a difference….) I know.. Im a big loser am I?
And this story is too cute… I mean… waay too cute… (glares at hands) What have I created?! Anyway, luckily Im going to put some angst in it.. (ssh.. it's a secret!) .
And thanks for yur wonderful reviews!!! I love you people!! .

Chapter 4: Day before Tomorrow
Roy sat in bed flipping through the channels looking for something to watch. He yawned while covering his mouth with his hand.
Riza sat in bed next to him glaring at him. "How could you?" She said. The tone of her voice was like a piercing needle going under Roy's skin.
"What?" he said lazily, trying to hide his intimidated expression. He continued flipping through the channels with his eyes sucked on the tv.
"Roy! I know you're listening!" She said continued glaring.
"No seriously, what?"
Riza sighed. She snatched the remote and turned the tv off.
"Hey!"
"You're teaching Gabriella alchemy aren't you?!"
Roy cringed in an oops-she-found-out way. "What alchemy?" He said trying to not act suspicious.
Riza hit over his head with the remote.
"OW!" he rubbed his head.
"I saw you in the backyard with her from my bedroom window… don't lie to me.."
"Oooh… THAT alchemy…" Roy couldn't help but smirk.
"Didn't we have this talk before? I don't want my daughter running around using alchemy… she doesn't what power alchemy is capable of!! She could hurt someone… or herself…." Riza scolded.
"I'M the Flame Alchemist… she's learning alchemy from a pro…" Roy informed.
"But still… SHE'S 4 YEARS OLD!!!" Riza said almost yelling.
"Look, Riza, the military is getting a lot of friction from the public. Anytime, or maybe any minute, they could attack us… and family and friends along with it.." Roy said acting serious. "I want my daughter to defend herself… I care and love her just as much as you do… but this is for a good cause…. I don't want anything to happen to her…"
"But—still.."
"What happened if something happened to us? Like Hughes…. He died leaving his family unprotected… I want my children to be able to defend themselves when we're not around.."
Riza hesitated for a moment. "Let's just talk about it in the morning…" She dug into her covers and turned off the lamp.
It was dark and silent.
"Can I have my remote now?"
"No. Go to sleep."
It was 4 AM, and everyone was sleeping soundly… not a sound was heard.
"Daddy?" Gabriella was tapping softly on her dad's head holding a giant teddy bear. "Daddy?"
Roy grumbled as a reply.
"Daddy?"
Riza nudged him half-asleep. "Honey, you're daughter wants you…" She said hoarsely.
Roy sighed. "And these are the advantages when you're the only man in the house.." he mumbled and went back to sleep.
Riza kicked him off the bed.
"OW!" Roy sat up and rubbed his head.
"Daddy?" Gabriella whined again.
"What is it?"
"I had a bad dream…"
Roy cracked his neck and sighed. "Okay. I'll put you to sleep.."
Roy held her in a cradling position and walked to her bedroom. Gawd she's getting heavy.. he said eyes fighting not to close.
Roy then set her gently into her bed, and began to head for the door.
"Daddy?" Gabe said in her soft voice. "Could you stay here until I fall asleep..?"
Roy rolled his eyes, but who couldn't resist the cuteness.. I mean—the way she said it was irresistible.
"Fine…" He sat at the end of the bed reluctantly.
Five minutes passed..
"You're still awake?"
"Yeah."
Roy ruffled through his hair. "What did you dream about..?" He finally asked.
"I dreamed that we were on the cruise ship and some bad men came and burnt it…" Gabe explained reminiscing the dream. "And then, you drowned and mommy and I went away on a little boat."
Roy rubbed his temples. He knew he shouldn't have watched Titanic with her.
"Daddy…" Gabe said. "Are we going to drown on the cruise ship?"
Roy smiled. "Don't be silly… of course not!"
"okay.." Gabriella yawned and cuddled in her sheets. "Good night daddy.."
