Author's Note: This chapter and the next one are both going to be at the same time. It's just following two different groups. So don't worry about sequential order.

"Fullmetal, you take her. I'll get this one." Roy said, grabbing Aria's arm. All she did to fight back was blink.

"Fine by me...meet you two back here in two hours." Without waiting, Ed grabbed Eternity and walked off. Roy turned to Aria. "So, I guess we should start with the basics, huh?" He led her to the pants. "What size are you?" Aria, suddenly shy without her friend, pulled free and found some nice black pants she liked.

"I'll be right back," She said quietly, her face burning red. She prayed that Roy didn't see her blushing. She rushed into the unisex dressing room, and heard the door open as she struggled into her first pair.

"Let me see you in them. Do they fit?" Roy asked, apparently waiting outside her dressing room door. Aria was glad for the door to hide her tomato-red face, and forced herself to calmness before she walked out, her face calm and serene. "They look good. Let's get some of those." Aria walked back in and changed quickly, cursing herself for being so pathetic around him. He's just another guy! Her mind screamed. But her otaku side intervened. But he's not just any guy. He's Roy. Hottness and power, in one package... She stepped out and got more of those pants, heading to the shirts.

"Look!" She said later, without even realizing who she was talking to. She held up a shirt that was tight and black. Across the top it said "I hate you", but the A was a heart. She was grinning in happiness at this find, until she remembered who she was with. But, to her surprise, Roy looked like he might smile. But unfortunately, he recovered quickly and regained his composure.

"Let's go then, if we're done." He told her, the sides of his mouth twitching. She stared in awe. Was he about to smile at her! Quickly he whirled and walked away, and Aria had to trot to keep up with him.

They met Ed and Eternity back where they started, Eternity with tons of clothes and looking slightly taken aback at the amount she ended up with.

"Find anything?" Ed asked Aria, completely ignoring Mustang. Aria shrugged. "Let's get going."
