Disclaimer: I don't know how many times I've gotta say it, I won't own FMA and never will, lucky Hiromu Arakawa does! If I did own FMA though, I'd so put in a scene where there's only yaoi. :o

A/N: Okay, last chapter I made Roy all OOC. I've been putting off the chapter "Ambush" for a while now... blah! Gotta stop procrastinating! T.T;;

I was in the car on the way to Central, Armstrong was sleeping and Basque Gran was in the front seat, talking to someone on the phone.
I gazed out the window looking out at the endless hills while the sun crept up on the horizon. Daybreak.
I could still feel small tingles all over after the incident that had happened with Riza.
"You just looked gorgeous, okay?"
Damn, why did I have to say that to her? No, DAMN, why was I even THINKING of that! I mean, I WORK with her for god sake! What's wrong with me...
God, but it feels like I can't stop thinking about her now. Riza, Riza, Riza. That name played in my mind like a broken record player, over and over, yet I wasn't tired of hearing the name.
The kiss, the potpourri, the Bistro, the poem, her dress, her hair, the kiss...
Was riza just a co-worker? Just Lieutenant Riza Hawkeye? I don't know anymore.

Finally, bed. I sat on the side of my bed and took a deep breath then relaxed myself.
I removed the black tank top and the white skirt and sighed. I took off the black high heels that I ran in and slipped into a satin white nightgown.
I crept under the covers and tried to sleep, but there was only one thing on my mind right now.
Roy Mustang.
I couldn't stop thinking of what happened. No, my mind kept playing back those moments I had with Roy.
What was I thinking of. Roy could have any other woman that would be more beautiful than me. A woman that wouldn't try to always rig him with bullets all the time, a woman that would crawl over him like ants on a cake...
...a woman who's heart he would have yet to break. I'm not going to be left heartbroken though. I'm not that stupid like all the other women Roy dated. No, I'm not going to give in to this crap. It was just a kiss because I looked beautiful, nothing more...
...was it?
I stared at the ceiling and remembered Roy's coat. He had dropped it in the hallway.
I crept outside in the hallways when I saw a jacket in the middle of the hallway. I ran over, picked it up, then scurried back into my room as if I never left it.
Still warm. The smell was cinnamon. A enticing, spicy cinnamon scent. Enough to drive you mad with lust. I curled up with it, as it helped me go to sleep.
Does he really love me though...
"...don't wait for love, let it find you..."
I looked up at my clock. 6:05 AM. I need to be up by 8AM. I felt my eyelids get heavy and then drifted to sleep.

We had arrived to Central, but it felt like there was something terribly wrong.
"We have arrived at Central... sister..."
I looked up at Armstrong as he transformed into a woman before my very eyes. Basque Gran was a Homonculus, specifically Envy, a shapeshifter. The driver was a boy, that looked much like the woman.
The driver got up and exited the car then dragged me out.
"What the hell is this doing?"
The other three got out of the car, and I got a better look at them. Envy was dressed in black, a tight fitting sleeveless shirt, and had bands on his ankles and wrists. He wore what seemed like shorts and on his right leg was the mark of the Homonculus.
The woman had a crimson red dress that went to her knees, strapless, with boots and gloves to match. Her hair was of a raven black, almost unreal, that went to her neck and covered one of her eyes. Her lips were of a blood red and her eyes of an ebony black. It seemed like she was almost, unhuman. All at once... she was strikingly beautiful in a creepy way...
The so called driver took off the drivers uniform to reveal a boy with short untame hair, black, and with red eyes. He wore a coat similar to Ed's, but black... he wore a dark blue muscle shirt, and pants and boots the same color.
"Well, is anyone going to answer me? What the hell's happening?"
The woman had snapped her fingers and then Central had faded away. The car faded away and it looked like they were in some kind of underground dungeon.
"My name is Kesenai. The Homonculus is Envy, as you may know, and your so called driver is my brother, Ochirou. I'm here to kill you, basically. I'll do it swift and painless... oh but you do look so handsome... I wish I didn't have to do it."
Kesenai walked closer to me as I raised my right hand, ready to create sparks.
"Oh please, Coloniel... you don't really think that will wor–"
Before she finished her sentence I snapped my fingers, exploding half the dungeon. Ochirou and Envy dodged it, while the girl was nowhere to be seen. I smirked. Guess she couldn't evade my attack.
Then she appeared in my face and pushed me into a nearby chair. She sat on my lap and toyed with my hair.
"Don't you look so handsome..."
I got agrivated and snapped my fingers in front of her face. Ochirou and Envy laughed and giggled. Again, she was nowhere to be seen. She wrapped her arms around me. Damn, she was behind me! Kesenai whispered into my ear.
"I wish I didn't have to kill you..."
She then turned me around and planted a kiss on my lips. I felt confused for a moment. WHAT THE FUCK WAS SHE DOING! I wanted to pull away, but my body wouldn't move.It felt likeshe was sucking the life out of methrough the kiss.My vision blurred and I felt life slip away from me. I felt so weak, then she broke the kiss. I fell to the floor and went into complete darkness.
"Sister, why did you hesitate like that?"
"Aww brother, I was just having a little fun. So, Envy... how did you like my little play?"
"You killed the Coloniel in... less than fifteen minutes... impressive my dear. We'll talk."

Sunlight crept through the windows and my clock sounded. 8:00 AM. I went to go to the bathroom, since I was always the first one up. I washed my face, fixed up my hair, put on my uniform, took out my gun, and got ready to wake up the rest of the military.
First off, Major Feury. I knocked on his door.
"FEURY! EIGHT O'CLOCK, WAKE UP SOLDIER!" He was already up. I moved on to the other rooms.
Breda, and Falman were already up.
I went to Havoc's room, and found a girl in his bed. I shot at him 5 times and missed purposely. The girl ran out, and I sawmore than I needed to see.
"Lieutenant Havoc, I don't think you should be messing with women today. We've got a lot of work to do."
"Man, Riza, you sure know how to ruin the morning."
I rolled my eyes as Havoc got out of bed.
I then went to Hughes' room. He was always oversleeping, he always stayed up late talking to his beloved wife and his daughter Elysia.
"Lieutenant Coloniel Hughes, time to wake up!" I shot through the door and he woke up with a scream.
Alright, so everyone's up now.
Everyone headed to the meeting room.
Feury, Havoc, Breda, and Falman all looked like they slept late. Hughes came in with a whole bunch of pictures with Elysia and a sunny expression on his face.
"Look at her on her tricycle! Doesn't she look so adorable?"
Everyone backed away from Hughes, as he continued to admire his pictures of Elysia.
I took out my clipboard and started to read from it.
"Coloniel Mustang is on a mission with Alex Armstrong and Basque Gran, and will be back in time for the State Alchemist Entrance Exam. As you know, since the Entrance Exam is coming up, we have to prepare the grounds so that the alchemists can preform their alchemic skills. Feury, you have to prepare the judge tables and print out the judging sheets. Breda and Falman, I want you to set up the dueling grounds."
Breda raised his hand and waved it in the hair. Sigh...
"YES, BREDA?"
He looked back at me with a scared expression.
"I thought that the Exam didn't have dueling in it."
"Oh, yes, about that, this year, instead of creating something from scratch, this year there will be dueling in the second part of the exam."
"Wicked... let's see who dies first!"
I shot an icy glare at Falman.
"Don't speak unless given permission. Moving on... Breda and Falman sets up the dueling grounds... oh yes, Hughes, please go call the Elric's. They are in Rizenboul at the Rockbell's place, tell FullMetal that he has to organize the participating alchemists in the exam."
"Sure thing, Hawkeye!"
Sigh! Hughes' always being so happy.
I stared at all of them for a while.
"Well, what the hell are you guys waiting for? GET TO WORK! I WANT ALL OF THIS DONE BY SUNDOWN! THE EXAM'S TOMORROW! Dismissed."
Everyone scattered out of the meeting room and I headed to Roy's office. Now that he was gone, I was left to do HIS work AND mine.
I looked at his desk. Holy god, it was buried in paperwork.
I cleaned it up and something fell to the floor. It was a picture of me and Roy, we were celebrating White Day. The boys were supposed to give the girls a white ribbon to the girl they loved. If they put the ribbon on for you, it is said that your love will last forever. I looked at the picture, Roy was putting a white ribbon in my hair, as I was smiling. I shoved the picture back into his desk. Nobody must ever see that side of me... not now.
I started on the paperwork as the ticking of the clock went by.
