A/n: I'm posting this in celebration of the 4th! And I'm bored. :)
Lil-Kudo-I love that! And it's even more meaningful cause you're not trying to sell me a Master Card XD :)
Saffiremoon21-I have been called a boy. Once at Bath and Body Works, and once at Subway. The Bath and Body Works woman realized I was a girl pretty quick and avoided me the rest of the time I was there. I don't look like a boy, but I always tie my hair back, aren't feminitly pretty, and back then I wore mainly guy clothes. But still…:)
Also thanks to gundamjunkierx780, Fireness, Amazonian Anime Queen, seto'sgal29, Maylin-Chan, and invisible johnny. :)
#8 Favorite Daughter
Her father had been a soldier, fighting in the name of Amestris. He died fighting, only weeks before he birth.
Her mother had also been a soldier, just like her father, and her father's father. She had been forced to take temporary leave during her pregnancy. She had taken permanent leave after she died giving birth to Riza.
She had no other living relatives, save her grandfather on her mother's side. She was grateful for him taking her in, raising her. But still…
She would rather have her real mother and father any day.
She knew nothing of them, her grandfather found it too painful to speak about them. She didn't know if they were strict or lenient, serious or fun loving. She preferred to think of them as kind and loving.
On the humid nights she couldn't sleep, she'd lie in bed and imagine the life she'd never have with them.
They were always smiling, always happy. Her mother had the same hair as Riza, and her father the same eyes. They would kiss and hug her, tell her how much they loved her.
They would tell her she was their favorite daughter, and she'd giggle and say she was their only daughter.
When she dreamed of her parents she cried.
Her grandfather was always confused as to why his granddaughter's pillow was always wet.
