The streets of Central weren't too crowded during the work day, which made it pretty nice. Roy had decided to take the rest of the day off, seeing as how Riza had called in sick and no one else was brave enough to bring him paperwork. He decided to stop for coffee at a local café when he saw a familiar face sitting outside it.

"Miss Rockbell?" He said, almost forgetting the name. She turned around, only to be greeted by a face she recognized faintly.

"Yes…Colonel Mustang isn't it?" He nodded.

"It's been a while, Winry." It's Winry, isn't it? He hoped for his sake his memory served him well.

"Yes sir it has."

"Please, I'm off work today. Call me Roy outside the office."

"Okay." There was a long pause in the conversation; neither of them knew what to say.

"Do you…wanna sit down?" Winry asked hesitantly.

"Uh… sure," Said Roy, taking a seat next to her, "So what's new?"

"Nothing much."

"What brings you to Central? Did Fullmetal break his arm again?"

"WELL I CERTAINLY HOPE NOT!" Winry started to think of hitting Ed yet again. This outburst made the colonel a bit scared.

"Uh… sorry."

"No, no I'm sorry. Anyway I'm here on vacation. I'll get Ed to take me shopping later. Central has such a wonderful selection of stuff! I think it's just so amazing."

"Well… I'll take you shopping, Winry."

"Umm… ok." Winry finished her coffee and they headed off to the shopping district.

.later, in the shopping district.

Roy was carrying what seemed like a million boxes and bags of 'souvenirs' and 'oh but I need it for work!' And all Winry did was make the pile bigger.

"AND THIS! AND THAT! AND OH ROY LOOK AT THAT! OH CAN I GET IT? PRETTY PRETTY PLEASE!"

"Yeah, of course Winry, anything."

"Oh thank you so much Roy! I owe you so big for this!" They moved from store to store, buying anything and everything Winry wanted.

"Hey Roy, why are you being so nice to me today?"

"I dunno Winry. I guess… Uh… Something about you. You're just cool. Ya know?"

"No…I don't think I really do. But…thanks. For everything." Winry smiled. Roy thought it was beautiful.

"We should hang out again sometime, Winry." Roy said hesitantly.

"Colonel, thank you for all the gifts and things, but…"

"What?"

"Well I'm a little young for you…"

"And how old are you?"

"Sir I'm 15."

"Ah. Hm. Well. See you around I guess!" Roy walked Winry back to her hotel and dropped her things in her room. They both said goodbye and he left, scribbling her name off his list as he did so.
