Ed: Why did you have to make the Major squeeze me!

Al: Ed... you're always getting into trouble... Alphonse sighed deeply...

Phayne: If I own FMA, Gluttony would have eaten chibi-chan. By the way, Dreaming Of You belongs to Selena.

Ed: WHO ARE YOU CALLING OCHIBI?

Phayne: The reviews were appreciated but I demand MORE! My greed is insatisable! If I don't get at least 10 reviews for this chapter, the fourth chapter will take slightly longer time to be posted up. (evil grin) Just a point to note: If this chapter is good, do REWARD me for early completion! Any questions can be posted via reviews. I'll try to answer them!

Acknowledgements: For the third time for this fic, arigatou blustrilight... for editing, enjoying, inspiring and companionship.

To don'tbreakme: Wrong guess, the chocolates are of some other shapes... You'll find out soon...

To all those who reviewed: I'll try my best to make this chapter longer than the previous two. Thank you for your continous support...(smiles!) Maybe it'll be a happy ending if I get my ten reviews! If this chapter sucks, flame me.

Corazon
No puedo dejar de pensar en ti
Como te necesito
Mi amor, como te extrano

(translation: Sweetheart, I can't stop thinking of you, How I need you, My love, how I miss you)

East Headquarters

Roy Mustang's forehead creased. He stood unfazed at the sight before him. Although it has just been only a month since Hawkeye had left for another mission, there was no reason for his office to be so cramped with documents that it can be considered a fire hazard zone. "Havoc!" Roy barked coarsely at the spiky-haired soldier. "Where's the report due for Central Headquarters in the afternnoon?"

Jean Havoc snuffed out his cigarette and lifted his head. "The report for Furher? It's in charge by Lieutanent Hawkeye." He answered in bored voice. These few days, the East Headquarters are deprived of its fair share of activities. Probably because of the Elrics were out of Resembool. Havoc chuckled at the thought. "Sergeant Havoc, I believe you should be more enthusiatic in your work, " Roy Mustang's tone was reproaching.

"Aren't you the same too? Once Lieutanent Hawkeye is out of here, you show your true colours," Jean Havoc murmured under his breath. In the East Headquarters, everyone knew that Riza Hawkeye was the only person that could deal with the Flame Alchemist. Just then, the phone in Roy's office rang.

"Havoc, find that report and send it to me by eleven," Roy ordered before picking up his phone. Havoc sulked, lit a cigarette and began his hunt for the lost report.

"Roy?" Major Hughes' voice was heard over the phone.

"Yeah?" The Colonel answered absent-mindedly, his hands arranging the papers on his desk.

"My daughter, Elysia, is 2 years old! Oooh... My cute Elysia... Daddy loves you so Much!" Hughes made a smooching noise after he spoke.

Roy Mustang's forehead darkened instantly. "Major..."

The obviously-I'm-pissed-with-you tone of the Colonel's voice caught Maes Hughes's attention.

"I wonder if my flames can roast people across the phone?" Roy said, pulling his alchemy gloves on.

Having caught his drift, Maes said sheepishly, "Ok, ok... There's something I want to talk to you about..."

"Oh shit!" Havoc's voice could be heard over the phone. Roy peered over his mountains of papers and saw the Sergeant busy putting out a small fire. The ash from his cigarette must have fuelled that.

"It's about Lieutanent Hawkeye..." Maes continued, meanwhile patting Elysia on her head. The toddler was learning to walk now.

The fire spreaded like wildfire and consumed every documents in its way. Havoc called for help and Roy barked furiously from his desk.

"Maes, I've got trouble here, call you back." With that, the Flame Alchemist slammed his phone down.

A long dead tone. The Major replaced his own handset and sighed. He wanted to tell Roy about the time he saw Riza's calendar and how he felt she was having some problems. After all, being Riza's superior, Roy might be the best person to talk to her or something...

A good one hour later...

Havoc stretched his back after spending the past forty minutes cleaning the soot in the Colonel's office. He had to tidy up the place and remove the soot off the walls before Roy fry him. He meant it literally. Just then, Mustang entered the office, inspecting the cleaning job. "Sergeant, there's still some ashes here." His hand indicating an area near the edge of the wooden desk. Havoc grabbed the broom and proceeded to do his work.

"Huh? What's this?" Havoc exclaimed as he almost flattened something as he rested his hand on the desk. He dug out a buried box and began to examine it. Roy shifted his gaze to the spiky-haired soldier.

"Give it to me," Roy ordered and took the box from his subordinate.

"According to my experience in courting, that's exactly a box of chocolates." Jean Havoc said, while taking out a stick of cigarette. Roy glared at him, poised ready to snap his fingers and Havoc got the hint. Roy turned over the box a few times checking for the identity of the sender. Anonymous... He peeled off the wrapper and opened the box. Then the ends of his lips curved into a smile. He knew exactly who the sender was.

"Who's it from? And what's that odd shape?" The sergeant said as he peered over Roy's shoulders.

Roy glanced at his wall calendar, his eyes lit up mischievously as he saw the date. Without answering Havoc, he grabbed his trench coat, the box and bolted out of his office. Havoc sighed. All superiors have their ways of doing things... He turned to the same wall calendar and the date was, "March 14,"

End of Chapter 3 - To be continued...

Phayne: Well guys, hope this is a long enough chapter for now! For information, March 14 is White Day, where guys give girls something in return for the chocolates they received during Valentine's Day.

Easter Eggs: The conversation between Maes and Roy was edited a little by yours truly for the sake of this story. But the factual conversation was more or less about the same. So go watch the FMA anime. The title for this chapter: Returnable Memories comes from the Hagaren Song File.
