Ed and Roy came out with the first course, which of course, were appetizers. They brought it on a huge platter, and the presentation of the meal was awesome. They received praise from everyone in the room, including Riza. Riza looked at Roy, trying to figure out where he had learned to cook so brilliantly. After the appetizers were eaten, Roy and Ed had a grin on their faces. They walked into the kitchen, and came out with the mail course.

Everyone had such a good time with dinner. Laughter had filled the air, and the adults had Champaign while Ed, Al, and Winry had soda. By the time the main course was over, and it was time for desserts, you'd think it was a miracle Roy could see straight. He had so much to drink, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was wobbling around. Ed and Winry thought it would be best if Roy just sat down, and let them get the desserts. For dessert, there was an assortment of ice cream, and fancy cookies. Winry thought that Edward and Roy had been to some sort of cooking school, because of the meal they prepared. Edward and Winry had served the deserts to Roy, Riza, Pinako, Al, and themselves, and had a nice, relaxing dinner.

After the food was eaten, everyone decided they should go to bed. But first, Edward had to clean up the mess he made.

"Why isn't Mustang going to help me with this mess?" Roy yelled out with anger.

"For a few reasons, Ed. The first being: He's a guest, and guests do not do work in this house. And also, he's drunk. He'd more likely make a mess than clean it up. Don't you agree?" Pinako replied calmly.

"I'll help you clean up, Ed," Winry said with a huge smile on her face.

"Are you sure? I don't really want to bother you," Ed replied.

"I'd love to help," bolted Winry.

Edward and Winry started to clean everything used in that night's meal. That meant almost everything had to be cleaned. The whole kitchen was used for the task of cooking. At the time they started cleaning, it was 10:00, but they didn't finish until 12:15. Being tired, as they were, they went to bed. Winry went to her room, after kissing Ed's cheek. Ed wished her sweet dreams, and went to the couch. Since Roy and Riza were in his room and in his bed no less, he had nowhere else to sleep. Al was already in the living room, sleeping wrapped up in a blanket near the corner of the room. After dinner, Al had taken off quite abruptly. He must have been tired. There he was, sleeping like a baby.

The following morning, Ed was woken up at 6:00, but Roy Mustang, saying that they must go back to Central. Ed realized he was given a one month leave of absence. His month, it seems, was up. Ed said he'd be ready in 45 minutes.

He went to go wake Winry up, and inform her he had to go back to Central. She got up, and told him she wanted to go, too. Ed said that Winry had to stay, and take care of Pinako. Winry went and asked her grandmother if she could go. Her grandma had said she had Den, and would be fine. Also, he grandmother had said she had to return in one week. At that, Winry was excited. Just being able to leave for a week was freedom. Winry started to pack.

Meanwhile, Edward was already packed, and was getting dressed. Roy and Riza, it seems, got up much earlier, for they were both already in military uniform, and you could tell that they were clean, as if they had already showered. The uniforms had no wrinkles, so they obviously were not slept in.

As the clock struck 6:45, Roy had called for Riza, Ed, Winry, and Al. They were all ready to depart. The walk to the train station was about 15 minutes, and from there, they got on a train straight to Central. While on the train, Winry went to sleep, and her head was on Ed's shoulder. Ed fell asleep, too, but his head was against the window. His arm was around Winry's waist, as if to protect her. Al was asleep as well, on the other side of the compartment.

Roy and Riza were both wide awake, but Roy had somewhat of a hangover. Riza and Roy were staring into each other's eyes. Just sitting there, saying nothing, but gazing into the depths of each others eyes.

Roy asked Riza if she was ready to go back. She said she was ready to go anywhere, as long as she was with Roy. Roy smiled at that, and kissed Riza on the forehead. Riza smiled, and kissed Roy's cheek. They were happy, and no one could stop that happiness.

Finally, the train arrived in Central. Ed, Winry, and Al were awoken by the loud whistle that alerted them to their arrival. Everyone got off the train, and got in one of two cars. Roy had called, while on the train, and arranged for a spare car to pick up both Elrics, and Winry. That spare car was driven by Jean Havoc, Roy's right hand man. Roy ordered Havoc to follow him. Of course, he did so. They arrived at Central, and Edward and Winry went on a walk, to find Winry a good hotel. Riza and Roy went to their office.

Finally, they had seen a very nice looking hotel. Ed walked in, and showed his pocket watch. The man instantly called for a bellhop, and gave Ed the key to the presidential suite. Ed took the key, and headed that way, behind the bellhop, who had taken all of Winry's bags on a big cart, and handled them with the utmost care. He had unloaded the bags carefully in the room "Ed" was staying. Really, Winry would be staying there, and Ed couldn't.

Ed lived in the military dorms, and he wasn't allowed to stay with Winry. The reason for this, it was so no one in the military would impregnate someone they were not married to. Obviously, Ed and Winry had no intention of doing anything like that, but rules like this one were not to be broken. Ed kissed Winry on the cheek, and said he had to go back to the office. He had paperwork to do, and had to see Mustang. He decided to see Mustang first.

Meanwhile, in Roy's office, Roy had a serious look on his face. He was once again staring at Hawkeye.

"Riza," he said calmly.

"Yes, Roy?" She replied.

Roy had gotten on one knee. "Will you marry me?" He asked her, and pulled out a little box.

"Yes, I will," said Riza, her eyes sparkling, and a smile spread across her face.

Just then, Ed walked in, without knocking or anything. All he saw was Roy slipping a ring onto Riza's finger. His eyes got big, and all he did was turn around, and walk out. Roy had seen Ed out of the corner of his eye, and knew what he had seen.

"Riza, Ed saw us," Roy said.

"So what? He knows we are in love. He won't mind," Riza replied.

"I hope you're right."

"I know I am."
