I go crazy

When I look in your eyes

I still go crazy

No my heart just can't hide

That old feeling

Deep down inside

Oh, baby

You know when I look in your eyes

I go crazy…

The office had been silent for too long as Lt. Hawkeye finally finished her story of a romance between a soldier over enemy lines and a woman that tends to him without the knowledge of the soldiers captors. The two people start to fall madly in love, but as the soldiers time is growing thin as his captors start pondering his fate, the woman knew she had to do something. Sadly, in the end, the soldier's men rescue him and whisked him home where he still ponders the women over enemy lines.

The passion he felt for the woman that was waiting for him at home was gone due to the passion he had felt for a woman over enemy lines…a love that was forbidden by all boundaries of love.

"Nothing, but a hopeless romantic tale," Lt. Hawkeye said as she closed her book and placed it on her desk and looked around to realize that the Colonel still wasn't back.

On Mustang's desk there was still a stack of paperwork on his desk that wasn't getting done, but it was nothing more then simple orders to be passed out particular soldiers that were being transferred to Central or the South Headquarters.

Lt. Hawkeye made her way out of the office and towards the Mess Hall where she figured she would find the Colonel still talking with Lt. Colonel Hughes and Lt. Havoc, but as she walked into the Mess Hall, there was no sign of Mustang to be seen.

She decided to take a walk around the compound to look for him, but the only hint she had finding him was officers talking about some secret date with a hint of Colonel Mustang and Lt. Hawkeye thrown in now and again. She disregarded it as nothing as she walked back towards the Mess Hall and grabbed a bite of lunch and as she sat at a table she could hear two female officers gossiping about something but to the Lieutenant it seemed like nothing. As the conversation between the two ladies started to grow more intense, Lt. Hawkeye couldn't help, but wonder what they were talking about as she started to slight tilt her chair back to listen in without being caught by the two gossiping women.

"Have you heard the latest about Colonel Mustang and Lt. Hawkeye?" the first officer asked.

"No, what do you have?" asked the other officer.

"I don't mean to gossip, but it's the latest thing, compliments of Lt. Colonel Hughes."
"Tell me more, tell me more!"

"Well, word is that even though the Colonel and Lieutenant have been dating for a number of months or almost a year now, word has been spreading about one of them finally popping the question!"

"You're kidding!"
"No, but according to the Lt. Colonel, he says that Colonel Mustang plans to, well, 'here comes the bride…all dress in white.'"

"NO! You really mean it!"

"What's to say it isn't true?"

Lt. Hawkeye about lost it as her chair fell backwards and her feet went flying up over head as she kicked another officers and her own plate of lunch all over her uniform and her hair. It was a tornado of disaster as Lt. Hawkeye lay on the floor with a bump on her head, unconscious, but she wasn't as she tried to hide the fact that she had overheard the plans of possible marriage.

"Lt. Hawkeye? Are you all right?" asked one of the officers in the Mess Hall.

Lt. Hawkeye tried to avoid the question….

"Someone, go and get the Colonel!" shouted another officer.

Lt. Hawkeye lied on the floor in a heap as she fought back tears of pain from hitting the floor and from the pain of learning the Colonel's plans for them tonight and it was hard not to cry out in pain as the officers tried to clear the area where she had fallen. Her mind drifted to the novel of the soldier and the women over enemy lines; she dreamed of being the soldier and Colonel Mustang being the woman that saved the soldier.

"Don't worry, I'm here to help you wounded soldier," whispered the sweet voice of her hero.

"Thank you, you are a true love that anyone man would love to embrace and have for all time," whispered the wounded soldier.

"Lt. Hawkeye, Lt. Hawkeye?" asked the sweet voice of Colonel Mustang as he watched Lt. Hawkeye's lightly flitter open as she woke up on the couch in Mustang's office.

"Colonel Mustang….?" Lt. Hawkeye asked shocked as she tried to sit up, but all the blood rushed to her head.

"Careful Lieutenant, what happened in the Mess Hall?"
Lt. Hawkeye tried to hide her tears and her knowledge of the conversation between the lady officers as they gossiped about the date between the Colonel and her that night. She tried not to answer the Colonel, but his eyes pleaded to know what had happened, but she couldn't answer him as she pushed him away and ran out of the office and out of the Headquarters as she hid her tears.

"I'm sorry Colonel, I can't do this," Lt. Hawkeye thought as she ran for home with tears in her eyes and food from her lunch and the lunch of the other officers that she bumped fell off her uniform and her hair.

It was too much for the Lieutenant to handle as she let the tears flow from her eyes as she rushed into her house and shut the door behind her as she slid down the wall with her back to the wall as she buried her face in her hands and wept openly for the first time in her career. Black Hayate noticed that his master was hurt as he moved towards her and licked her hand to give her some comfort, but no matter what anyone said about dogs being man's best friend wouldn't be enough to help the saddened Lieutenant.

Mustang stood stunned in his office as he pondered what could have possibly happened in the Mess Hall and why the Lieutenant had stormed out of the office in such anger and emotion as she pressed him away. His uniform jacket was covered in food from her hands and they had left a hand imprints on his jacket, but luckily for the Colonel he had extras in his closet as he got into another jacket and headed over towards the GYM to find Major Armstrong.

"I need to talk someone about what is going on around here," Mustang said as he headed in the general direction as he passed by Lt. Ross and Lt. Bloch as the two of them were heading over to the Mess Hall.

Lt. Ross and Lt. Bloch walked into the Mess Hall to find some of the officers cleaning up a mess on the floor where the scuffle with lunch meal and Lt. Hawkeye had happened, but no one noticed them walk in as they walked over to where it happened.

"What happened here?" Lt. Ross asked as she saw a table turned over and the chair the Lieutenant had been sitting in slightly broken.

"Lt. Hawkeye took a tumble out of her chair at lunch and knocked her lunch and another officer's lunch all over herself and the floor," answered one of the officers.

"Man, she must have done a number on herself to make such a mess," Lt. Bloch started to say as Lt. Ross elbowed him in the gut.

"Where is Lt. Hawkeye now?" Lt. Ross asked the officer.

"The Colonel took her to his office to look after her…" the officer started to say, but Lt. Ross was already headed towards the Colonel's office.

When she got there, she noticed that neither Colonel Mustang or Lt. Hawkeye were in the office and as she looked around the room she noticed the couch and the ruined uniform jacket and started to piece together what might have occurred. Lt. Hawkeye left the office after pushing the Colonel way as he tried to help her with her problem from the Mess Hall and she left the office and the Colonel was left with her handprints on his jacket.

"What did you find?" Lt. Bloch asked as he walked in behind Lt. Ross.

"Just a case of love gone wrong, it seems that after Lt. Hawkeye fell out of her chair the Colonel brought her back here and when she woke up from hitting her head on the floor, she saw him watching her, she pushed him away and then ran for home," Lt. Ross said as she looked out the window and noticed Ed and Al were sparring with each other before walking into Headquarters.

Mustang found the GYM to the far east of the Headquarters and as he walked in he felt the wind of hot air and sweat hit him as he walked in found Major Armstrong working out alone by the weights. The room was a place where Major Armstrong tended to work out a lot lately; the room smelled of blood and sweat of those that had used the GYM for sparring matches and weight lifting and other strenuous activities that happened in the GYM.

"Major Armstrong, do you have time to talk?" Mustang asked as he saluted Armstrong.

"Anything for you Colonel Mustang," Major Armstrong said as he placed the weights down and wiped off the sweat on his chest and forehead and put a clean uniform jacket on, "what do you need to talk about Colonel?"

"It's Lt. Hawkeye….I think she's mad at for something I didn't do…..I don't know, she was covered in today's lunch when I found her," Mustang said as he sat on a nearby bench and placed back against the wall.

"Why do you think that happened?" Major Armstrong asked as he stood in front of the exhausted Colonel.

Mustang went onto explain his explanation of why she might be upset, he was planning to propose marriage to her during their date that evening, but Lt. Havoc and Lt. Colonel Hughes had become involved in the general situation. Mustang figured that word may have spread to the other officers and word had been spreading like wildfire around the office and Headquarters.

The next thing he figured, was that Lt. Hawkeye may have finished her novel and walked over to the Mess Hall to grab some lunch and she overheard some others talking about his plans. Lieutenant Hawkeye had overheard the officer or officers, and her chair broke and she kicked the table and that was how lunch happened all over her….

"And that's about all I can figure out why she could be mad," Mustang said as he looked up to see the Major.

"Sounds like you have quite a problem on your hands Colonel…is there anything I can do to help with your date?" Armstrong asked.

"No, not really," Mustang said with an air of disgust and fear in his tone.

"There must be something! I know, I can serenade you two at dinner!"

"No, that's not---"
"I'll see you tonight Colonel Mustang!" Armstrong said as he ran towards his dorm to get ready for the date.

Mustang sat in shock of the chaos that had erupted in one day, two of his closest officers had spilled the beans all over Headquarters, the woman he loved was mad at him and now the Major was involved in this chaotic tornado that had started that morning.

"What have I done to deserve this?" Mustang said out loud as he stood confused in the GYM doorway and headed back towards his office to wait for Ed and Al to show up to make their status report.

Next time, don't spill the beans to your two closest officers Mustang. Okay, that was fun! Ed and Al are coming to make their report and Lt. Hawkeye is going to receive some motherly advice long distance about how to face the Colonel and how to deal with the situation at hand on whether or not to accept the Colonel's offer of marriage that evening.
