Reviewers make me happy  I really appreciate everything… And I have to mention some more random details that are implied or simply not stated again: The military school was a one-year training program. You automatically rose to the rank of Corporal if you passed, because you took all that extra drilling. Riza and Jessica just graduated. Also, Riza is a bit timid around boys, so that's why she's a bit OOC. Also, she keeps some of her hair out of her eyes with hairclips. This will be important pretty soon, just thought you should know. I've drawn some illustrations that might help with visualization, and I might put them up. I don't own FMA, so on with it!

"So Roy, what do you do in the military?" asked Jessica.

"I train the rookie privates and all, but I have other aspirations. Well, I'm thinking of taking the state alchemists exam. I'm pretty good at alchemy," said Roy.

"Interesting…"

"Hm… someone so good-looking as you being here and all… Why don't we go out on Saturday?" suggested Roy.

"Sounds perfect," said Jessica. "When can you pick me up?"

Roy frowned. "I can't drive."

"Neither can I," said Jessica. "This is a problem."

Roy didn't say anything, but glanced at Riza hiding behind Jessica.

"Who are you?" he questioned.

Riza blushed. "R-Riza Haw-"

"She's my friend Hawkeye," Jessica cut her off. "And she can drive a car!"

Riza wanted to roll her eyes, but she didn't want to offend anybody. She was now to be addressed by her last name instead of the friendlier first. If she ever had a chance with him, that would have to change.

"Perfect!" yelled Roy, snapping his fingers.

Roy had forgotten that he had been wearing his gloves, so his, Jessica's, and Riza's were now somewhat charred.

"Darnit… I've got to work on my memory."

"Ha!" Edward cried. "Colonel Idiot isn't all that cool and suave after all."

Riza shot him a sharp glare, and Alphonse was just confused. He still didn't exactly know who Roy was, even though Edward had explained the story.


"So, Hawkeye was it? Pick me up at this address at 7:30 Saturday, then," said Roy, handing Riza a slip of paper.

"All right," she said almost in a whisper.

"See you, Roy!"

"And you, my lady," Roy kissed her hand, and went off.

"Riza, he's so dreamy! I can't wait for Saturday," she sang.

"Would you like me to advance this a bit?" asked Destiny.

"Fine," said Riza. "But don't miss anything."

"Jess, let's go! Don't be slow!"

"I'm coming, hold your horses," moaned Jessica. "I'm finishing up my eyeliner."

"I'm driving, and if we don't go soon, we'll get held up my traffic!" Riza shouted through the door.

"Traffic for what?"

"I don't know, they said something about it on the radio, but your hair dryer blotted the sound out," she replied back sharply.

"Okay, moving on," said Destiny.

"This is confusing, Brother," Alphonse whispered to Edward.

"We're at the restaurant," said Roy, tapping Riza on the shoulder.

"'K," she said, stopping to pull into a parking space.

The three got out of the car. Roy was wearing a stylish blue button-up. Jessica was wearing a simple yet elegant pink camisole with a darker pink skirt. Riza was wearing a lavender tank top with black pants with a wide bottom. She wasn't going on the date, but she was going to have a table to herself in the restaurant.

"Oh yeah," said Roy. "My friend Jean is going to meet us here. It can be a double-date."

'Great,' thought Riza. 'A blind date with this Jean character."

YAY! Havoc's in the story! I hate Havoc x Riza, but I wanted to throw him in… Oh well, it won't end up so well.
