Alexis Hawkeye soon became a Mustang shortly after moving in with her new family. The star necklace was cleaned up from the mud and the picture inside was changed and a small image of Ryan, Emiko and Kendra was placed inside. (After taking to Rose, Kendra was brought into the city for the one photo.) The initials were also changed, thanks to Roy's fire alchemy, he cleared the initials and placed in Alexis' initials. Alexis visited her father once a month every month. She even baby sat Kendra now and then when Scar and Rose needed to go visit another town for something.
Riza was able to return to the military with no one second guessing her. Maria kept the secret to herself and the subordinates never believed Roy when he had his little temper tantrum when Alexis was discovered. So the secret was safe inside the Mustang household.
Like Roy said, when Emiko grew up, Ryan was out numbered...
"Alexis, Joe is here!"
Roy called up. Joe was standing in the doorway holding a red rose as he waited patiently for his date to arrive. His dashing blue eyes and jet black hair made him look like every girl's dream guy and the black suit helped. As Joe and Roy talked in the hall, Emiko walked up wearing an oversized night shirt. It looked as though she attempted to put her own hair up from the messy looking ponytail and the random ribbons. She tugged on Joe's pants and Joe looked down.
"Hi Joe..."
"Hi Emiko..."
Emiko smiled and attempted to flirt with her sister's boyfriend, for a five year old, she wasn't half bad. Roy picked her up just as Ryan came running down the hall.
"Dad, Emiko painted my hair with mom's nail polish again. And Alexis threw her hair brush at me."
"Were you bothering Alexis?"
"Um..."
Roy smiled as Riza dragged Ryan into the bathroom with a bottle of nail polish remover. Emiko followed because she had polish in her hair too. Soon, Alexis came into view. Riza emerged from the bathroom just in time to see her eighteen year old daughter leave for the dance. She looked smashing in a purple skirt and matching tank top. Her hair was brushed back into a bun with her silver streaks down and framing her face. She swore the star necklace around her neck. Joe greeted Alexis with the flower and a shy kiss on the cheek.
Like his best friend, Roy snapped of many pictures. He had picked up the hobby of taking pictures since Ryan was born. Alexis blushed as did Joe. The door bell rang and Roy opened it. A now much older Elisia Hughes entered the house. tonight, she was baby sitting Ryan and emiko while the couples went to the military ball.
"Welcome Elisia and thank you."
"Any time."
Emiko came running out and jumped into Elisia's arms. Ryan attempted to flirt with Elisia even though he was much to young for her. Riza came out of the bathroom and removed her house robe revealing a smashing black dress.
"Be careful Elisia, he takes after his father."
Riza smiled as he pinched Roy's cheek. Roy grabbed his suit coat and escorted Riza out of the door behind Alexis and Joe. The military car pulled up with Havoc driving, Maria in the passenger seat. They filed into the car and drove off, leaving poor Elisia with the flirting Ryan and 'angelic' Emiko.
