Roy: If she owns FMA, all the women in the military will be wearing mini-skirts...
Riza cocked her gun and pointed it at Roy.
Roy: Sorry, Riza... No... She doesn't own the FMA or Selena's Dreaming Of You.
Phayne: Thank You, Minna-san for the reviews! It really made my day and I decided to write this second chapter despite the fact that I am real hungry. Also, this chapter is for my friend, Tiffany who was depressed by some relationships problems similar to Riza's, so cheer up!

I just wanna
hold you close but so far
all I have are dreams of you
Riza Hawkeye tossed in her bed, with thoughts of yesterday's flurry of activities in her mind. She had actually approached Winry Rockbell to be her coach on how to make chocolates. The automail mechanic was surprisingly good at baking even though Riza thought Winry's forte was in fixing Edward's automail. "Lieutanent, first you have to add in butter, cocoa, milk, sugar..." Winry instructed her by the side while Riza poured in the ingredients. With the chocolate mix ready, Winry told her, "Just make them into any shapes that comes to your mind." The lieutanent pondered a while before finally deciding to make the chocolates into a certain shape.
So I wait for
the day (wait for the day)
to take the courage to say...
The next morning, Riza was called into Roy Mustang's office.
"Lieutanent, I need you to work as undercover as a secretary to Professor Wilhem Eiselstein. He's is the professor who was currently involved in the research of the Philosopher's Catalyst,"
"Professor Wilhem Eiselstein?" Riza repeated the name.
"Yes, I suspect there's something sinister going on, alchemists are being attracted to that town for some reason." Roy Mustang said, without a trace of amusement.
"So you want me to spy on the Professor?"
"I have absolute trust that you're the ideal person for this mission," the Flame Alchemist flashed his killer smile which no woman could withstand till this time. (Except the Lieutanent, of course.)
Riza nodded and waited. She was waiting for Roy to give her an answer to what she has done yesterday. The Colonel ran through the papers on his table quickly and said, " Oh yes,"
Riza's amber eyes lit up and her body was gripped with tension.
"Major Louis Armstrong is also escorting the Elric brothers to the Central Library. Just in case, they run into Scar again."
Riza's face fell, but she tried her best not to show. "Yes, sir, I knew about this."
"You're dismissed then, to prepare for your mission," The Colonel picked up his phone and punched in some numbers.
Riza saluted and turned, her mind having a mental struggle of whether to ask or not to ask. She decided to do it anyway. Before she could face her boss again, she heard Mustang's voice saying, " Hi hon, what are you doing now? I've just dispatched my subordinate to settle the new mission and the troublesome kids are out of my jurisdiction. So I'm kinda free now..."
Meanwhile...
"Achooooooo..." Edward Elric sneezed. He and Alphonse Elric were travelling in the train to the Central library with the muscular Major Armstrong. "Edward Elric! You poor thing! You must have caught a cold," The Major boomed into the Fullmetal Alchemist's ears. I don't think I've a cold, but I'm certainly deaf... Edward thought to himself. Before he knew it, the Major was looking at him with his eyes watering like a tap. Armstrong came forward with his arms open. "ARFFGGGGGGGHHHHHHH... GET OFF ...ME..." Edward's muffled voice was drowned out by the rumbling of the train.
how much I
love you
Yes I do
Riza froze in her movement. Her heart sank. The blonde-haired lieutanent then took her leave quickly, while trying her very best not to let the tears escape from the edge of her eyes.
I'm dreaming
of you tonight
Till tomorrow, I'll be holding you tight
And
there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be
than here in my room
dreaming about you and me...
Riza stared at the papers in front of her desk. She scoffed at the codename for her mission, "The Broken Angel" Yeah, I'm broken now, though not much of an angel, but broken nonetheless. Riza then packed her things and left the East Headquarters for home.
End of Chapter 2. To Be Continued...

Phayne (dying of hunger!) : Whew, my 2nd chapter is done. Subtlely, Riza still suffers from heart wrench. To put it bluntly, save her with your reviews! If anyone can rescue her, it'll be YOU! If this chapter sucks, shoot me.
Easter Eggs for FMA fans: The 1st and 2nd Chapters are titled after FMA movie opening and ending themes, Link and Lost Heaven by L'arc en Ciel. Also, the mission, the broken angel, is inspired by the FMA 1st game, Fullmetal Alchemist and the Broken Angel. And those who played the game should know that Armstrong WAS escorting Ed and Al before Ed blew up the train indirectly. Sorry, but my fic don't cover that part. If you're interested to know why, go buy the game. (Don't shoot me!) So long, readers. And don't forget the reviews!
Winry: Miss Hawkeye...
Riza: No, call me Riza...
Winry: Riza, what's the shape of your chocolates?
Riza placed a finger to her lips and mouthed the words, "Hit...mit...su..."
A/N: Hitmitsu - secret
