Hello there! Thank you for dubbing my story worthy of having a second chapter! I still have this flu, though, (I just had to catch it two days before the GEPA testing, didn't I?) So my brain still isn't working at 100... Any who, enjoy!

Disclaimer: I own a box of flu medicine and a glass of lemonade but, not the FMA story line...

–Outskirts of Central city late afternoon–

"Your sure the message was relayed correctly?" said a tall, slender woman.

"Of corse, now all we have to do is get to our position and wait." The man smiled evilly as he spoke. The tall woman nodded in agreement and tossed back a lock of her long, jet-black hair.

'This could be fun.'

–Central Headquarters, dusk–

Havoc, Fuery, Breda, and Falmen wished The Colonel and the 1st Lieutenant good night as they abandoned there work and left.

Mustang grumbled angerly as he tried to rush through his paper work. Like so many other times, the Lieutenant had refused to let him go home until he had finished all of his work. "Please,"asked the Colonel, though he already knew the answer, "let me go home Hawkeye!"

"Sir, You know as well as I do that-," someone knocked softly on the door. Hawkeye opened it and was greeted by one of the gate guards. "I was asked to deliver this file to Colonel Mustang, ma'am." Hawkeye took the file and dismissed the soldier.

Mustang's eyes widened after he read the file's contents. "What does it say ,sir?"

"You and I are going on a field trip." said Mustang with a smile. Truly, anything was better then paper work. "What do we have to do, sir?"

"We are to travel to the town of Aldeca in the East. Supposedly, Eastern Headquarters has been receiving threats from a small terrorist organization. I've been ordered to infiltrate the organization under an assumed name. You will be my back up."

"Why doesn't Eastern send their own people, sir?" Mustang shrugged and grabbed his coat from a closet. "Sir! You haven't finished your papers yet!"

"We have to catch the 5:45 AM train to the East tomorrow. I'll pick you up at 5:20 AM." Mustang waved half-heartedly and whistled as he left Riza alone in the office. Hawkeye sighed and sat down at the Colonel's desk to complete his neglected work.

When Hawkeye awoke the next morning, the sky was still pitch black. She willed her legs to move her body to the bathroom where she took a quick shower. After finishing the Colonel's work, Hawkeye had trudged home and used her last bit of energy to pack. Hawkeye slipped on a pair of civilian clothing and ate a quick breakfast. At exactly 5:20, someone knocked on Riza's door. She was greeted by a groggy Colonel Mustang. He yawned and offered to take her bags to the car. One bag was fairly light while the other, which was most likely filled with the Lieutenant's guns, threatened to drag him to the ground.

Hawkeye's dog pawed at his master for an explanation. Riza smiled brightly and stooped down to pet Hayate. "Be a good boy while I'm gone and don't give Sgt. Fuery too much trouble." He barked obediently and scampered back into the apartment. Hawkeye hopped into the passenger seat of Roy's car and they drove off in the darkness to the train station.

When the pair stepped onto the train platform, the sky had just begun to take on a lavender tint. Within moments of their arrival in their assigned train car, Roy fell into a deep sleep. Riza watched him from the other side of the car. She had to fight extremely hard to stifle a giggle when a strand of saliva escaped from Roy's mouth. Riza pulled a napkin out of her bag and gingerly wiped away the drool. 'He looks so content and peaceful. I wonder what he's dreaming about right now... I wonder if he ever dreams about me...' Riza slapped herself mentally for thinking that way about her superior officer.

It took Riza a moment to realize how close she was to the Colonel. Her face was only inches from his and it made her breath quicken. Her heart beat faster as she leaned closer to the Colonel. Her lips barely grazed his forehead but, it was enough to open Mustang's eyes.

Mustang opened his eye fully just as the Lieutenant took her seat. She had her face buried in her paper, so Roy assumed that she had only gotten up to stretch. It was odd but, Roy could of sworn that he felt something warm on his forehead just as he awoke from his sleep. He shrugged and fell back asleep.

Riza let out a long held breath after the Colonel finaly closed his eyes again. 'That was way, way too close! What was I thinking?...of how handsome the Colonel looks when he sleeps... No! No! If I lose my head like that again we could both end up dead. We're on a mission for God's sake! I have to control myself better.' She glanced at the Colonel on last time before falling into her own world of dreams.

Riza rubbed the sand out of he eyes after emerging from her much needed sleep. Mustang was standing over her with his arms full of sandwiches and water bottles. "I thought you might be hungry so I bought us some food." He grinned like a child awaiting praise and this made the corners of Hawkeye's mouth form a small smile. She took the food gratefully and bit into one of the sandwiches. Roy took his place across from Hawkeye and dug in to his food. "Thank you ,sir." Mustang frowned at the mention of 'sir' and he stood and took a seat right next to Hawkeye. He leaned his face towards her ear and whispered softly. "Remember Riza, this is a covert mission. Call me Roy so we don't draw too much attention." Riza nodded slowly and she couldn't help it when a thin smile spread itself across her lips. "I never knew you took field missions so seriously, Roy." Mustangs insides tingled when she said his name aloud. He ignored the sensation and leaned back on the seat cushion. His trademark grin appeared as he spoke.

"Well, you know as well as anyone that I'd do anything to get away from paper work. And unless you packed it in your suit case, I wont have to look at one of those boring documents for another two weeks."He laughed nervously, "You didn't takethem with you right?" Hawkeye shook her head and fiddled with the wrapping on her sandwich.

"No, I finished your work last night after you left." Mustang's jaw dropped and his face turnrd pale.

"B-but I had hours of papers left to sign."

"Yes, I believe I finished around mid-night." Mustang's face hardened as he lifted her chin with two of his fingers. Their eyes locked with their faces only centimeters apart.

"Don't do that again Riza. You all ready do way too much for me and I don't want you to have to clean up after me." No matter how hard she tried, Riza could not break away from his gaze. She wanted to kiss him so badly that it hurt. Unbeknownst to Riza, Roy had the same desire sweep over him. They felt there heads get closer, the gap was almost closed.

"We are nearing Aldeca,"said the conductor's voice over the loud speaker, "All passengers please gather your belongings and prepare for arrival." Roy and Riza leapt away from one another and shakily got out their bags. Somehow, Riza couldn't help thinking that this was going to be a very interesting mission.

Well, I hope you liked it. I would type more but, I need to get sleep for the GEPA tests (wish me luck!) tomorrow. That last part nearly killed me... but don't worry, it'll happen eventually!

On another note– REVIEW ME!...please?
