Disclaimer: I do not own any or all characters of the top anime Fulllmetal Alchemist or the troubles that these characters get into in this romance/drama fan fiction featuring Colonel Roy Mustang and Lt. Riza Hawkeye. This is the one chapter all readers have probably been hoping and waiting for….THE DATE! Here it is Fullmetal Alchemist fans!

Mustang had been sitting in his dorm since mid afternoon looking over old photos and things from the past; he was wearing a black dress suit with a white dress shirt and black tie with a diamond tie pin in his tie. His hair was as it was always, but he smelled of a very rare men's perfume that he had worn on all of his dates with Lt. Hawkeye, but tonight was a special night for him and he hoped for the Lieutenant.

"Tonight's the night Mustang….don't screw this up," Mustang kept telling himself as he made sure he looked good in the mirror.

"Hey in there, anyone home?" came the familiar voice of Lt. Colonel Hughes as he knocked on the door.

"Hold on a second Hughes," Mustang said as he moved to the door and opened it to reveal Lt. Colonel Hughes and Lt. Havoc dressed in waiter uniforms of a local outdoor restaurant that they had borrowed special for the evening.

"Evening Colonel," Havoc said as he saluted the Colonel upon entering the room.

"At ease Lt. Havoc, you two seemed ready for the occasion," Mustang said sarcastically.

Lt. Colonel Hughes could tell by the way Mustang was walking around his small dorm he was nervous about at the date and that he was nervous about proposing to the Lieutenant that evening. As Hughes saw his friend slowly pacing the room, he knew there was only thing he could do was by helping his friend calm down by giving him so friendly advice.

"Lt. Havoc, I need to go get something for a second," Hughes said as he started to leave the room he leaned close to Havoc and whispered something in Havoc's ear, "I suggest you talk to the Colonel to calm his nerves."

"Will do Lt. Colonel," Havoc whispered as he moved towards a nervous Colonel as Mustang sat on the edge of his bed and fumbled about with something in his fingers.

"Big night tonight, isn't that right Colonel Mustang?" Lt. Havoc started to say to break the ice.

"I know what you are trying to do, but I think it's not going to work," Mustang said as he hung his head.

"Colonel, sir, I know that any advice that I could give would seem useless, coming from someone that has never had a chance to date a girl, but I haven't known you as long as the Lt. Colonel, but I feel that I can say this, no matter what Lt. Hawkeye says in response to your proposal, just remember that you two will always be meant for each other and no matter what happens she will love you either way," Havoc said as he placed a hand on the Colonel's shoulder as he tried to hide his tears.

"Thank you Lt. Havoc, even the words of a bachelor such as yourself can say the most meaningful words of advice for someone that is preparing to make the biggest decision in any man's life," Mustang said as he placed a hand on Havoc's shoulder.

"Thank you Colonel," Lt. Havoc said as he got up and headed towards the door as Hughes walked into the room.

"What happened while I was gone?" Hughes asked as Mustang got up and moved towards his friend.

"Havoc was trying to give me some words of advice, but I think he was a little overcome with emotion because he has never had the chance to go out with a girl and have the chance to propose to a girl," Mustang said as he stood against the door.

"You're a very lucky man Roy, Lt. Hawkeye is a very special woman and I can't imagine any other man going out with such as you and I hope that tonight you get your wish," Hughes said as he headed out the door with Mustang soon in pursuit.

Lt. Hawkeye had spent the day preparing for her date with the Colonel and upon her bed were different outfit ideas strewn upon her bed as she struggled to find the right outfit, but without making it obvious that she knew about the special thing Mustang had planned for her at dinner. It was a big mess upon her bed as she threw shirts and skirts and dress slacks around the room as Black Hayate attempted to avoid getting covered in his master's clothes.

"This is harder then I thought, it needs to be perfect," Lt. Hawkeye said as she scrambled still to find an outfit, "Black Hayate, I need some help."

Black Hayate saw that his master was in need of help as she sat on the floor next to her closet as she sorted through the clothes she had thrown to her bed, but had missed as she sifted through the outfits. Black Hayate moved towards a charcoal gray poncho as he dragged towards Lt. Hawkeye as she picked up a nice dress shirt and saw what Black Hayate was carrying.

"This can work, now to find the perfect lower half to go with the outfit," Lt. Hawkeye said as she moved her hand over a black green skirt that hung to her ankles and the next thing she saw were a pair of black, zip up the side, boots with a slight heel to them.

"Thank you Black Hayate," Lt. Hawkeye said as she gathered her clothes and got dressed in her outfit and soon came back out in her outfit, "How do I look Black Hayate?"

"Ruff!" Black Hayate said as he admired his master in her outfit.

Ed and Al were preparing to leave the house they were staying at while they were staying in East City Headquarters as Ed made sure he had all his things in order to ruin the Colonel and the Lieutenant's date that evening, but unbeknownst to the brothers, Lt. Ross and Lt. Bloch were hiding out in the next room as they waited for the Elric brothers to make their move towards Lt. Hawkeye's home.

"You ready Al?" Ed asked as he made his move towards the door.

"Sure brother," Al said sadly as he followed his brother out the door and towards the street as Lt. Ross and Bloch soon made their move after the brothers.

Mustang made his way towards Lt. Hawkeye's house as Hughes and Havoc made their way towards the restaurant where they were going to have dinner that evening, Mustang felt pretty proud of himself for this was a big step for him, but sadly he felt he had no one to share his newfound happiness with. His father had died a few years after Mustang had joined the Military and his mother hadn't spoken to Mustang in a number of years and she was feared dead at home. The only ones he could turn to share his new happiness with where his fellow officers and they were trying to make the moment of happiness just right for the Colonel.

"Hello, anyone home?" Mustang asked as he knocked on Lt. Hawkeye's front door.

"Coming!" Lt. Hawkeye shouted as she made her way to the door as Black Hayate stuck his nose out the door and barked at the Colonel in a gleeful bark.

"Evening Lieutenant," Mustang said as he stood in amazement at the image of beauty that stood in the doorway.

Lt. Hawkeye was dressed in a white dress shirt and a charcoal gray poncho with her hair hanging to her shoulders with a hunter green skirt that hung to her ankles with black dress boots with a zipper on the side of the boot. In the light of the lamplight, her emerald green earrings sparkled as they danced with the beauty of her hazel eyes and blonde hair, around her neck was an emerald necklace to go with her emerald earrings. A light of moonlight bathed her as she stood in astonishment as the Colonel stared at her radiant beauty in the light of lamplight and moonlight.

"Thank you Colonel," Lt. Hawkeye said as she slighted blushed.

"Shall we go?"

"As you wish Colonel," Lt. Hawkeye said as she took the Colonel's hand and they handed off towards a local movie theater that the two officers had often gone to on their dates previously.

In the shadows, Ed and Al watched as the Colonel and Lieutenant made their way towards their first destination on their special date and as Ed watched the Colonel having too much fun having the Lieutenant hanging off his arm as they walked towards the theater. Ed watched the glow starting to form around the Lieutenant and the Colonel as they walked together in the moonlight.

"That is just enough to make me lose my lunch," Ed said as he watched the romance blooming between the two officers.

"Brother, you are still immature for being an older brother," Al said as he watched his brother turning ill at the mere sight of the Colonel and Lieutenant's love.

"Come on Al, we have a romance to ruin," Ed said as he quickened his pace.

"Oh brother," Al said as he slowly followed as Lt. Ross and Bloch silently followed Al.

Chaos comes in many forms, but in this story, it comes in the form of the shortest alchemist in the State Military and now what awaits the Colonel and Lt. Hawkeye as they prepare to sit and watch a romantic movie in the darkened theater this evening? Find out in the next chapter when the movie turns to dinner and dinner turns into a dinner theater for the patrons of the restaurant that they plan to attend….find out readers! Read and Review!
