Chapter Nine - Girl's Night Out
The following day, Anna and Riza lounged around the house. Waking up at 1000, they decided to just make the first part of the day all relaxation time, catching up with the old times. Both took showers and cleansed themselves for a lovely night out. They were planning to go to a beautiful and fancy restaurant where they could spend their last few hours together.
"Girl, where are we going?" Riza called from her bedroom, yet again cream on her face, this time it was pink.
"I don't know, what's fancy around here?"
"Not much. It's a military run town, mostly businesses and houses."
"We'll find something, even if we end up walking ten miles."
So the two high school girl friends sat in the rooms cleansing themselves for a beautiful night on the town. Around 2100, Anna walked from the spare room wearing a cute little outfit which consisted of a short red dress with straps that hung off the shoulders. Red heels added about two inches to her height and an earring and necklace set added to her look. Her hair was pulled back into a bun and she looked extravagant.
But, nothing was comparable to when Riza stepped from her bedroom wearing the new short black strapless dress. Her hair was down and flowed graceful along her shoulders. A simple cross necklace adorned her neck and her everyday diamond post earrings. She borrowed a pair of black heels from Anna.
"Girl, you look so fine. I hope we find some cute boys. I wouldn't mind finding myself a cowboy to ride..."
"Anna!"
"What? You want a cowboy, or would a 'Fuhrer' do?" Anna smiled and Riza blushed.
"Actually, I wouldn't mind a certain 'Fuhrer' as an after dinner snack." Riza smiled and winked.
The girls laughed as they fed Hayate then left the building, walking to downtown. As they left the building, Roy Mustang was sitting outside across the street in the park. He watched the two girls walk, laughing and giggling.
"Wow, that blonde looks hot. Wait... is that Hawkeye? It can't be. She don't dress like that, not to mention, were is her gun?"
So Roy carefully watched the girls and the girls didn't even notice. Once around a corner, Roy lost sight. The girls continued to laugh and smile as they made their way to a fancy restaurant called Sky Diamonds. They were given a window seat which was a small table with a single candle and red rose. They ordered wine and salads and enjoyed the soft music.
"Okay, so this Roy fellow, do you like him at all. And don't give me 'it's illegal'. I want your heart's truth." Anna asked.
"Well, I really think he's cute. And when he isn't being a total jerk and flirting with everyone in sight, I can really see myself... with him. I wouldn't mind giving him a try, if only I could get him away from his 'playboy' habits."
"Good luck. Remember Jonathan from tenth grade?" Anna asked.
"Yes."
"Well after high school, when you joined the military, I gave him a try. But just the same, after about two years, I gave up. He was always a playboy in high school. Would have thought things might of changed, but Nope." Anna smiled and took a sip of her wine.
"But that was Jonathan, remember his dad was the same way. Thus the reason his mom left."
"True, but boys are boys."
"Cupid works for the devil. Be suspicious if he cries..."
"Shoes don't stretch and men don't change."
"True true." The girls said together laughing.
"So when...wait just a minute." Anna's voice lowered.
"What?" Riza leaned closer to the table with Anna as Anna started to smile.
"Isn't that 'playboy' over there?" Anna pointed towards the bar room and Riza turned to look.
There across the fancy dining room and in the bar room sat a man with black hair. Riza turned and stared and sure enough it was Roy. He was wearing plane black pants and a tan jacket. He was drinking some kind of whiskey and talking to a man next to him. Riza squinted her eyes and saw the man next to him was Jean Havoc. Riza blushed and turned away when Havoc looked her way. He leaned into Roy and whispered something, causing Roy to turn in Riza's direction.
"Girl, they are looking this way." Anna smiled and turned back to Riza whose face was as red as the wine in the glass she was holding.
"I know, this isn't how I expected to break the ice. If he sees me in this outfit, I'll never live it down."
"Good. Come on, let's lead them." Anna paid for the dinner with one of her cards then turned back to the men in the bar.
Havoc was watching them, trying to be secret about it, but Anna knew. She was an expert. She smiled and winked at them and Havoc's face went pink. He raised his glass to his mouth and whispered something to Roy. Anna couldn't read the lips from the glass being in the way. When Havoc turned back, the girls were gone.
"What are you planning?" Riza asked as they walked quickly across the street.
"The park. Isn't there like a small woodsy area in the middle?"
"Yes. Like a mini forest directly in the middle of the park. There are no paths in it though. The path goes around it."
"All the more fun."
So Anna grabbed Riza's arm and pulled her down the street and around three blocks until they finally came to the park. Before entering the park, Anna stopped and turned around slightly and she saw Havoc and Roy casually walking down the street behind them. Anna smiled and moved quickly into the park.
