Author's Notes: well, well..I can't beleive I've gotten such awesome feedback on my first drabbles! Well, here's a nice little thing..some minor spoilers for episode 15..nothing big though..may not wanna read if you don't like thinking of Riza liking Roy...


It seriously ticked First Lieutenent Hawkeye to see her secret crush chasing a younger, newer girl around headquarters, ones who could barely hold a gun or a knife, much less draw even a shaky alchemic array. Not that she knew much about it herself though...

It peeved her more when she knew that when it came to guns, she was the superior over everyone else and whenever a new girl would come in, claiming to be able to use one, they never could and that so-called Colonel never seemed to care. How many people could say they were First Lieutenant in the military and never miss their marks after all?

And if that wasn't bad enough, the young lieutenant hated it when, of all things, Mustang would try to use his gloves to create a spark...when it was raining.

But it wasn't just bad things that came from that. It did grant her the chance, just once, to be able to drop him..kicking his feet out from under him..shouting 'stupid man' at him and causing him to land firmly on his little tush. Even these days, she'd smile at that memory..

and then remember WHY she had to do it in the first place. She sighed and turned back to her desk and the piles of paperwork there. She must remember if she ever met that Ishbalan again to thank him..for giving her that once-in-a-lifetime chance...


Author's Notes: well, well..wasn't that fun to write? ; I wrote that RIGHT after watching that episode..well, finished it..it was sorta..sitting there on my bed..half finished..and that was the perfect thing to end it..that I could think of. Same request, RR!
