AN: Well, I've finally decided to update. In my opinion, Ed is a bit OOC in the following chapters after this one.

Chapter 6: Liar liar

"Why are you being so quiet all of a sudden?" asked Winry as her, a walking armor and a headstrong boy walked to their apartment building.

"Oh it's nothing," Ed replied, he blushed at the thought of his dare. He loved Winry, but what would she think if he just spontaneously kissed her? Obviously not as someone who liked her just as a friend and the fact that he was screaming a confession to every military person in Central wasn't going to prove he didn't like her that way either.

"Ed, you look flushed. Maybe you should go to bed early tonight," Winry suggested, clueless about the dare. Ed had refused to tell her and knowing him and his stubbornness, Winry decided to give up on trying to know. She wasn't the type to give up, but knowing how tired Ed was after running around the building, just let him be this time. She would find out sooner or later anyways.

They reached the hotel, Ed and Al entering their room and Winry entering hers. They said their goodnights and went to bed.

Mustang wasn't having much luck with Riza either. She had nearly shot his head off with just the mention of going out.

"It's fraternization, sir," Riza simply answered. Then left with a frightened Roy still occupying the room. The next time he would order her to, as a Colonel ordering his Lieutenant. He failed to realize why he didn't do that in the first place, but with that aside he would try his new plan tomorrow.

The next morning started with a kick-start, literally. Ed demanded that Winry went with him to breakfast, since Al couldn't eat and Winry kicked him out into the town and told him to go by himself. It was a simple matter really, if Ed had asked nicely, Winry would have gladly gone with him.

Looks like another day failing to complete the dare, Ed thought to himself. He was going to check on Roy before his stomach protested. He went to the cafe across the street and ordered something.

He entered the building and saw Roy in his office. Lieutenant Hawkeye was paying him no mind and Roy was faking doing his work.

"Hey Roy, how goes the dare?" Ed asked as the Colonel.

"If you would excuse me Hawkeye, I have some business to attend to." Riza grunted as a sign of acknowledgement and was too preoccupied in her paperwork to care, she knew they were talking about the dare. She had no idea what Ed dared her commanding officer to do, but she had a feeling it has something to do with her.

"So, Mustang, as I said earlier, how goes the dare?" Ed asked.

"Not going as smoothly as I planned, but don't worry Full Metal, I will win and you will be following Winry around in a doggy suit!" Roy laughed maniacally.

"Why Winry?" Ed said after he gulped.

"Because I have a feeling that you would hate that," Roy smirked. He was right, Ed would hate following around his childhood friend and crush around in a dog suit. Just imagine, a dog of a military dressing up as a dog, oh the irony.

"How's your dare going, Full Metal? I have a feeling you and Ms. Winry haven't kissed yet, am I right?"

"And how would you know! As a matter a fact I did!" Ed lied. Okay, well maybe lying isn't the best thing to do, but hey, I'll tell Mustang that I lied AFTER he wears the suit. Ed smirked at the thought of Mustang in a dog suit.

"Oh really? How about I ask Ms. Rockbell about this?" Roy threatened. He knew Ed was lying, he didn't have the guts and wasn't a very good liar…but if he wasn't Roy was one screwed Colonel.

"Okay, okay, you caught me," Ed confessed. It looks like it wasn't as easy as he thought. Winry would never lie to someone of the state.

"Tick tock Full Metal," with that, Roy walked back to his office. Edward would try again later that night, he decided.

He was going to make the bastard Colonel eat those words.
