Chapter Six:
Roy looks at the reports given about his cousin seeing that she's been doing well at the apartment. Sighing as he reads over the other papers before himself seeing that he'll be staying for a good while. Hearing a knock at his door fire looks up to see Riza, "I'm going to be leaving early sir, I promised Flower and Winry that I'd Help them get ready for the ball tomorrow."
Roy nods, "I see, you may leave for the evening." Watching Riza slowly leave quickly eye balling him and closing his door. 'Thank GOD! That woman's finally dismissed herself early! No one to breath down my throat.' Thinking about what he just thought about, 'But what a woman to have breath on yea…' Roy slowly rolls into a daydream of his assistant breathing on his neck saying his name while pleasuring her.
"Colonel!"
Roy jerks up looking at who ever stole his lovely dream away from him. Seeing that it's Havoc, "What do you want solider?"
Havoc salutes his higher up, "I'm here to say that I'm leaving for the evening sir, and I think you should do the same sir, it's very late!"
Roy salutes Havoc giving his permission to let the man leave. Looking at the time it was obvious why he was leaving 'eleven forty-five, I better get going as well!' grabbing his coat and what ever work he could take home and work there with him he quickly leaves his office with Havoc.
"So sir who are you taking to the dance this year, a foxy young lady?" Havoc grins slightly elbowing Roy.
Looking at Havoc with little amusement, he quickly remembers that day when he almost hurt his little cousin. 'I feel like I should have chopped off my hand.' Quickly clearing his mind he responds with, "I've decided to ask Hawkeye to the ball this year. I made her promise to wear a dress instead of an honorary uniform this year as well."
Havoc looks to his commanding officer slightly stunned. "She accepted?" Roy smiles nodding slightly in response, Havoc grins a bit, "So what are your plans after the ball?"
Roy sighs, "Most likely we'll end up saying good night…" just the thought of no fun after the ball seemed depressing enough to not want to go.
"Oooh I see," He thinks about it for a moment, "well yea it IS Hawkeye we're talking about, so it's understandable that she's a bit, unreachable." Havoc grins even wider looking to Roy.
"It's not that she's unreachable, it's a matter of timing really my good man. Also with some women it's very hard to see when that right moment is. Hawkeye being a VERY large example of that." Roy sighs getting a little depressed again.
Havoc watches his higher up, "I see…" Getting to the car Havoc gets into the drivers seat ready to drive Roy home, and waiting for his boss to get in. After he gets into the car the lieutenant starts the engine and leaves the office.

"Where's this ball going to be?" Winry asks looking at the card, "I know it says that it's going to be at the Central City Main Hall. But does that mean we have to take a train to Central City?"
Risa smiles working on Kat's hair putting it into rolls for the night. "No, there's a building right here in East City called Central City Main Hall, it's a building basically made for this, parties. I find it pointless to be there but it's there all the same, and it's used more than once a year at least, so at least there's that." Risa pats Kats' shoulder showing her that she's done. "I know it looks silly now but you'll look beautiful tomorrow." Risa smiles at the two of them both their hair in curlers.
"What are you planning on doing with our hair?" Kat asks picking up on the circles in Winrys's hair.
"Well I was hoping that with Winry I'll put her hair in a half pony tail and leave the rest to settle giving it a layered look, with a bit of hair spray, maybe put some flowers in her hair to hide the rubber band. Also with yours Katherine, I'd put it into a full ponytail, pin up some of the ringlets of hair, giving your hair a bit of a chandelier look. I may not look it but I'm very good with hair." She begins working with her own hair, putting the ends of her hair into curlers.
Winry smiles, "Well I'm sure it's going to look great!"
"Thanks again so much for having us over!" Kat bows, "And you can call me Kat you know…" Kat smiles nervously.
"Alright, which reminds me where in the world did Colonel Mustang come up with the name Kitty-Kat for you?" Hawkeye speaks up getting her bed ready for the night.
"Oh it's a silly story, well it's more of stupid really." Kat looks at her nails trying to get whatever dirt is underneath them.
Risa and Winry look very carefully at Kat waiting for her to spill the beans. Looking at her like little spies, she blushes, "What!"
"Tell us!" Winry grabs a hold of Kat's pj's .
"Hey!" quickly smacking Winrys' hand from her pants she returns to her nails, "It was a long time ago." Sighing heavily, feeling the two stare at her for another ten minutes, "Fine! It started when Roy-Roy and I were younger…"

Four year old Kat runs along the fields of her house chasing her cousin Roy, "ROY ROY! WAIT UP! I CAN'T CATCH YOU! NO FAIR!" Kat stops and pouts looking at the ground in her blue overalls and white shirt, gasping, "OOOooooh a kitty!" Kat moves the bushes around seeing the cat just lie there.
Roy smiles and turns around his baggy light blue shirt swaying in the wind his black pants all dirty from playing around in the dirt, "Kat? KATHERINE?" seeing the little girls hand wave into the air, he smiles and runs up to his cousin seeing that she's looking at something, "Whatcha got their?"
"This kitty wont move Roy-Roy." Kat looks up to her cousin, "Why?"
Roy takes a closer look at the cat seeing that it's dead he picks up his little cousin, walking away with her, "The kitty died, we'll have to bury it ok?"
Kat looks to Roy, "Isn't the kitty sleeping?"
"No the kitty is not sleeping, it's in a better place now where it can run and play forever." Roy pinches his little cousin's chin.
"Oh I see, well why don't we go there!" Kat smiles brightly.
"What!" Roy looks at her and smiles nervously "No not right now, maybe some other day."
"When Roy-roy? I wanna see what it's like!" Kat pouts again.
"You are such a curious kitty! When you're older, and if you're a very good girl then you can go there." Roy smiles at his little cousin.
"REALLY! Ok! I'll be extra good!" Kat hugs her cousin.
Getting back to the house Kat pushes away from her cousin to get down, "Uncle, I need a shovel."
"Why's that my boy?" Roy's uncle a tall man with short black hair, his dark blue overalls showing that he'd been working on the farm, his black red plaid shirt not helping in hiding the fact. He pats his daughter on the head as she hugs him.
Kat speaks up this time; "There's a kitty in the field that's sleeping, though Roy-Roy says it's in a better place now."
"I see! Well We'll have to make sure Roy-Roy sends that little kitty cat on its way to that better place ok? Now you go help your mother little lady." Patting his daughter on the head she runs back into the house.
"Ok papa!"
(SC)
After about half an hour Roy walks into the house with his hands all dirty, "Hey Aunty!"
Roy's Aunt turns to him and smiles softly, her hair black as well, long and elegant, and in a ponytail, "Hello Roy, did you help that kitty?" Unrolling her sleeves from her light pink dress, and taking off her orange apron.
"Yes Ma'am I did. So how's the other Kitty Kat doing?" Roy looks around, "I don't see her."
"Oh she's hiding you know Kat and mouse." Roy's Aunt smiles at him, while she finishes putting away the dishes, she slightly points him in the right direction.
"Ooooh I see." Roy hunches over and stalks over to the dinning room ready to pounce at her. "Oh Kitty-Kat come out come out where ever you are."
Kat pounces on his leg letting out a loud "Meow!"
"Hey you two no playing around in the house!" Kat's father speaks up. "The out doors are right out that door!" He points out the back door.
"Sorry Uncle."
"Sorry papa."
Roy looks to Kat, smiling a little, "You better run outside Kitty-Kat or I'm gonna get yea!" Roy spreads his hands like he's going to tickle her.
Kat screams and runs outside, with Roy following her. "HEY NO RUNNING IN THE HOUSE YOU TWO!"

"That's how I got it, not that really big just something that he thought of." Kat points out.
Winry sits up and smiles, "That sounds so cute! He must have been so sweet! All Ed talks about him now is that he's a big jerk trying to order him around. I think it's funny that Ed thinks he shouldn't be ordered around, by his boss!"
Risa smiles, "Well it's nice to know that he was a little bit innocent in one time of his life. Now he's just a womanizing jerk! I wonder what goes on in the man's head sometimes." She speaks up from her bed already lying down.
"Well I haven't seen him in so long, I'm not surprised that he and I have changed so much. My father tried his best to keep him from going to the military, I never knew why." Kat plays with her fingernails. "Anyway its late lets get some sleep!"
Winry nods yawning at the thought of sleep, "Good idea…"
Risa turns off the light, "Good night ladies."
"Night," both speak up in unison. As they slip into a blow up mattresses, which could also be passed as a floating chair in the pool.
With lights out they all quickly fall asleep for the night.

The next morning everyone became so busy from the moment they woke up getting ready for the big day, though it was more of the girls needing to take all day to ready themselves for the big event.
Ed on the other hand tries to situate his tux shirt to make it look like he has a regular arm instead of automail. "Don't worry about it brother unless you're going to take off your jacket it shouldn't be a problem right?" Al speaks up.
"That's the problem when I'm in doors it IS too hot." Ed complains as he moves the shirt around. "This is why I hate this so much! If I keep on my jacket during the night I look like an idiot and if I take it off I'm going to get a lot of odd looks."
"Then try to bare it for tonight?" Al asks nervously.
"I guess." Ed sighs in defeat.
