Wow…it's been a long time since I've updated…I've been kind of lazy lately, so I didn't work on any of my fics with an actual plot for a while…sincere and neverending thanks to az4ever for offering ideas and suggestions for the story so it actually makes SENSE. I can't thank you enough! Thanks are also due to Kaiya-Chan (go read her fic The Way to a Man's Heart…) and KikyouxInuyasha for putting up with me during chats. Thanks to my reviewers, Keitorin (see? I updated), heart of flame (I'm really glad you like it), Rukusho (I'm glad you like it too), The Air Alchemist (I actually wrote more!), and micro-bee (I'm not sure what's going to happen next myself). And to anyone else I forgot to mention. Oh, and as for the nurse…I'll let you know who she really is in the next chapter. Whenever I get that posted…

Disclaimer: I don't own FullMetal Alchemist or any of the characters. Not yet, anyway...

It had to be the one of the worst ten minutes of Roy's life. In just a couple of seconds, his whole world had changed, and he no longer knew where he was. Riza seemed to be trying hard not to keep glancing over at him every five seconds or so, but she wasn't doing a very good job at it. He could feel her eyes watching him. Eventually, they stopped in front of a large brick apartment building. Roy got out, slowly, and followed Riza to the door.

"Do you have your keys, sir?"

Roy groaned inwardly. How on earth and I supposed to find my keys if I don't even remember where I live? "Uh…no, I must have forgotten them or something…"

Riza smiled. "Hughes was right." From her pocket, she took out a keyring with several shiny keys hanging on it. "He said I'd be needing this one day."

Roy stared. He gave her my keys. What I really want to know is how he got his hands on them in the first place. I mean, it's not like he should have had any reason to get my keys. In return, he got only a small smile from Riza, then she turned and entered the building. Somehow, she also knows which apartment is mine too. How does Hughes know all of this? It's like an invasion of privacy…Riza had managed to find the door to his apartment, and was now fitting the key in the door. Roy watched her open it with a feeling of apprehension. Wonder what it's going to be like. Knowing me, it's probably a total mess. He wasn't completely right. While the room was covered with dust, it wasn't quite as bad as he'd been expecting. With a good vacuum cleaner and some elbow grease, it could be turned into a decent place to live. Riza was looking around with a faint expression of disgust on her face.

"I don't mean to be rude, Colonel, but….how can you stand to live in a place like this? There's dust all over everything." She turned to face him. "Oh! Sir, I think there's a bump on your forehead." Her eyes focused on a spot on his forehead. "You must have hit it on something in all that smoke. I should probably call a doctor soon."

She's probably right. I do have a headache…he touched the spot on this head, and found out that the Lieutenant was, in fact, correct. He did have a small bump on his head. Then he noticed her eyes on him. She's looking at me again. Only…its not the way…she usually does. Why? Of all the punishments that God could have given me…Please…don't take away Riza too. He stepped closer to her, hoping that there was something, anything in her face that would let him know that she, at least, was still the same. She glanced up at him, and then realized that he was staring intently at her face. She flushed red, faintly, and then walked over to the window, which, like almost everything else, was covered in dust. Carefully, she rubbed away the dust to form a clean spot. Then, looking out, she brushed away more of the dust. Roy took a deep breath and then quietly stepped up behind her and slipped his arms around her. Almost instantly he could feel her stiffen in shock.

What is he thinking? I knew he was acting strange, but…I…I can't seem to make myself move. Why is he doing this? She didn't move away, though, even when he began to kiss the back of her neck gently. She closed her eyes, and tried to push away the thoughts that told her to move away, to stop him. She wanted this so badly……But something inside overcame the part of herthat didn't want it to end. Riza pulled away from him, and spun around, trying to read his face.

"Sir…" she hesitated. What was she supposed to say?

Roy didn't reply, he just met her eyes for a moment, and then slowly took a couple of steps backwards.

"I think…it would…be a good idea to call the doctor now." Riza tried to stop her voice from trembling. She walked away from him, then turned back at the doorway.

"I'll be back in a few minutes," she said, then, softer, "I'm sorry, sir."

It was worse then Roy had expected it to be. The doctor did say that he had suffered a hard blow to the head, but when Roy had tried to explain how things didn't seem right, all the doctor did was look at him for a while, slowly nod his head, and then ask to speak to Riza in private. Roy, not having much of a choice, left the room and began to look around the other rooms in the apartment while they were talking.

"Is there something wrong with him?" asked Riza. "He seemed…a little unfocused."

The doctor nodded. "It's probably from the blow he got to the head. It's natural for him to be a little out of it for a while. Just be patient with him for a little while, and don't pressure him if he does something that seems odd to you. He just needs some time for his real memories to come back. If he tries to hurt himself, or if you need help, you can always call me."

Riza nodded, then looked over into the adjoining room at Roy, who was methodically digging through a drawer and examining its contents.

"So he'll be…normal again in a while?"

"Yes. I can't say how long it will take; it's different for everyone. But he should show some signs of improvement soon." He smiled at her. "It'll be all right."

I hope so, Riza thought, still watching Roy. Even though…it was nice to have him kiss me…for a little while, it was like he really…cared about me. I wonder…was that really him kissing me, or was it just…the part of him that's changed now? What does he reallly think of me?

It's done! For now, anyway. I'll be working on the next chapter…when I get around to it XD Light and Angels really needs an update too, and I haven't even STARTED on that yet. Sooooo…please leave a review and tell me what you think! Thanks again to az4ever (this is her idea, not mine).
