It's the second! So now, it's Riza's first Christmas drabble...
December 2nd -- Riza
Riza was humming Christmas songs to herself as she sat on the floor of her apartment with Black Hayate, cheerfully wrapping presents. She'd made sure to get her shopping done early, just like she always did. She chuckled softly to herself as she wrapped Elysia's gift, imagining the little girl playing with it.
With no family to shop for, she bought gifts for those people that were the closest to family she had. That meant the rest of Mustang's crew, as well as the Hughes family. But Riza didn't mind. She enjoyed buying Christmas gifts. Often she shopped almost the entire year. It wasn't unusual for her to start in January, provided she came across something that someone was bound to like.
Like Edward's present. That had been bought all the way back in February. Riza's smile widened as she picked up what she'd bought Roy. It had been the most difficult for her to find. Just deciding what to get him had been a challenge. She wanted something special. They'd put up with each other quite a few years now.
She laughed again, seeing Black Hayate had managed to get himself tangled up in some ribbon. Then she stopped, remembering suddenly that she hadn't picked up the last gift yet. It was bought and paid for, but not in her possession. She untangled Hayate and carried him with her to the car. Better to go make sure there was somewhere to hide that last present before she forgot again.
