BOO FOR SLOW UPDATE! XDD I know people update muuucch slower than I do. But I hate it when they have a really good story going, and they just stop updating. I would've updated last night, I was typing it then. But my brother just had to come and tell me this:

"I need to use your laptop because I need to type up my report"

"Umm...You have perfectly good computer, AND a new laptop"

"Well I don't have the Microsoft Word installed"

"Well install it, dummy"

"you had it last. I dunno where it is"

so I had to give my brother my laptop, leaving me with nothing to type with. I know you're thinkin "why not just use wordpad on my bro's laptop?"

It's cuz I'd rather have all my fics in one place in case I need to go back to them for some reason. So my brother was typing his report (and getting majorly distracted along the way) and was finally done at like 12am. I had to get to bed cuz i had to wake up early the next morning. So here I am after school...(supposed to be doing homework) but what my parents don't know won't hurt..zz and i have to make my friend a birthdaaay present..so much to do...AH! So much space taking and I haven't even staarted writing yet.. slaps head

"So. You're colonel Mustang?" she asked slightly relieved.

"Yeah. That was 2nd Lieutenant Havoc. And this is Sergeant Major Fury," Mustang pointed him out. From where they were sitting it looked as if Fury fell asleep.

Only a 2nd lieutenant. No wonder he hasn't been promoted.

"So. What's your name anyway?" Mustang asked, looking at her.

"Oh. I never told you did I? I'm May Harlen," May replied, smiling at Mustang.

Chapter 7

"I see," Mustang said leaning onto his desk.

Ugh, I think he likes me. May thought as she sat on the other side of the desk. It SURE feels good to know BOTH my subordinates are love-crazy. But what about that Fury person? May gazed at Fury who was still looking as though he had fallen asleep.

"I'm sorry about your other 1st lieutenant," she said looking down. Having a loss hurt so much. She had felt that feeling before. Mustang was silent, still leaning forward on his desk.

"Yeah. The funeral's in less than a week," Roy said lifelessly.

"And the Brigadier General's death. It has to hurt for two people you really care for die both at the same time. I know how that must feel," May said calmly, "Both my parents died when I was young. I didn't get to know them well,"

"How?" Mustang asked suspiciously.

"Well they went on a vacation from working all the time. They wanted to go over the border to the country of Shin. They left me behind with my aunt and uncle since I had school and such. They were fine until they started coming back. That's when trouble started,"

"Trouble?"

"The East Area Civil War was just starting then, when they were coming back. It caused a lot of trouble since they needed to come back here," she said.

Mustang could see where this was going. His eyes were wide but May didn't notice them since her eyes were facing downward toward the ground.

"They actually made it back to our home, but the police wanted to take them back for some reason. Last time I saw them. My aunt and uncle took me back and then later that week we got a phone call saying they'd died,"

"But if the disappearance seems to have been caused by the military, why are you siding with them?"

"My uncle worked in the military for a short amount of time. Also I'd like to know what happened to my parents,"

It didn't make sense to Mustang though. If she wanted to do research on what happened to her parents why not just go to the Investigations Department like Hughes had? It would've at least saved her some trouble of snooping around.

"Well why don't you go get some rest. You'll need it for later," Roy said pointing his finger toward the door.

Does he want me to leave that badly? May asked herself as she got up and walked over and through the door.

"If her parents were killed by the military, then they must've done something wrong. But the military should be able to track criminals friends and family. It doesn't make sense. Why do they trust her?" Roy muttered under his breath. He would've thought the higher-ups wouldn't allow it since her parents were criminals.

"Fury," Roy called over to the Sergeant Major. He really IS sleeping...Am...Am I pushing him that hard?

"Edward, it's nice to see you again," Gracia smiled as she opened her door.

Ed forced a smile out. He didn't want to overdo it though, and make it look as though absolutely nothing was wrong.

"I thought that I'd stop by. You know," Ed scratched the back of his head. Well, I look like a complete idiot. Ed stepped inside and Elysia grabbed his hand.

"Huh?" Ed stared down at her but Elysia just smiled back. So carefree. She just...doesn't understand.

"Come on, Mr. Ed!" Elysia said happily, leading him into the Hughes's home. Ed nearly fell and saw Mrs. Hughes laughing, while Ed was being dragged away.
