A.N. hello again, it's me. I haven't checked my email yet, so the thanks, (if I have any reviewers) will be next chapter. Ok, a little story about what happened yesterday. I had to type up and post two chapters in an expanse of one hour. Now that might seem like a lot of time, but my typing skills suck, and I have the world's slowest computer when it comes to internet (56k) so it took me more than 1 hour. I'm really not supposed to be typing this, but I really want to get this posted. shrugs shoulders well, on with the fic!

Warning: I like to pick on Roy a little. I only meant to do this in a negligible amount, but it kind of grew. So, please try to not be too offended ;.

Disclaimer : I don't own Full Metal Alchemist. Sorry, no witty disclaimers today.

Tee hee, my snowman shall start the chapter…

Dec. 4

East City HQ

Weather- Yay! Snow!

"Havoc, what are you doing?" Fuery had seen Havoc post something up on the bulletin board the past days, but he had no idea what it was.

Havoc jumped. "Oh, this is just the weather for the day." (A.N.-it was havoc who wrote the first three .) He grinned, cigarette clamped between his teeth. Fuery sweatdropped.

"Umm, okay then. Can you help me out with this?" he held up a decoration that was supposed to be hung in a place that was too high for Fuery, but Havoc could easily reach it.

Havoc shrugged. "Sure."

And so, they continued decorating.

Roy had snuk out of the office. Well, maybe 'snuk' wasn't the right word. He was extremely tired, and crawled along the floor. But nevertheless, he was free. He picked himself up off the floor and headed out. He felt like talking to Maes.

He unknowingly walked out into a storm.

"Whoa!" He ran back inside.

"Better get my coat." He looked back outside. "And scarf." So once he was adequately prepared, he walked out into the storm.

Maes Hughes sat at his desk, admiring photos of his family. His desk was conveniently located next to the window, so he could see Roy trudging up to the door. He ran to the door and let the slightly frozen Colonel in.

"Why are you here?"

"Felt like escaping for a while."

"Don't you ever think of the consequences of your actions?"

"Ah, crap."

"Exactly what I mean."

"Well all we can do is hope, no, pray that she doesn't call"

As if on cue, the phone began to ring. Roy began to back away slowly as Maes reached forward to grab the phone. He picked up the receiver and answered.

"Hello, Maes Hughes speaking. Hello Riza! Yes, I am aware of that. Fine, I'll take the pictures down. Roy? You want to know if I've seen him?" At this point, Roy was waving his hands wildly, mouthing 'I'm not here.'

"Yes, he's right here. would you like to speak to him?" He handed the receiver to Roy.

"Hello, Riza."

"Colonel, please come back. There is still a ton of paperwork for you to do. And if you don't comeback quickly, I'll add more on."

Nothing like threatening him with paperwork to get Roy to move quickly. He ran out the door and back to the office.

Ahh, another successful day completed.

yay!

Chappie 5 coming at cha! (hopefully…)
