Samantha ran, her eyes blurred by tears. She only stopped when she was at a bridge leading out of Central. Rain began to come down in buckets in the early morning, covering the town in a thick blanket of fog. Samantha leaned over the bridge and cried, and wondered why these things happened. She felt sudden warmth on her shoulders and looked up. Roy had placed his cape/ black jacket over her shoulders. He smiled down at her, and drew her into an embrace.

"Shhh, its okay. It'll be okay."

Samantha stopped crying and looked up at him. He smiled, "Let's get you cleaned up." He said, and led her back to the military dorms. Samantha was shivering as they walked into Roy's room.

"Here, you can take a shower in the bathroom and I'll get you some clothes to borrow from Lt. Hawkeye." He said, and opened the bathroom door for her. Samantha nodded, shut the door, and let the hot water run over her shaking sad body.

Ed ran through the rain, searching for Samantha. 'How could I have been so stupid?' He thought, recounting the memories of him and Winry. He never knew that she had felt that way about him. "SAMANTHA!" He yelled. As if in response the sky decided to rain buckets on him. "Great! That is JUST what I need right now!" He yelled at the sky. But while Ed was busy yelling at the sky he forgot to watch his footing. Ed fell hard on the bridge, slipped and fell with a SPLASH into the freezing water.

Al, Lexi, and Havoc sat at the table in Ed's room thinking things over.

"I think that Winry just doesn't like Samantha," said Lexi, beginning to make some tea at the stove. "She's just mad that Ed likes Samantha more then her."

"I think that Winry needs to get over herself," said Havoc, lighting another cigarette.

"I think Brother, Winry, and Samantha just need to talk things out." Said Al.

Samantha stepped out of the shower, a towel wrapped around her thin body. A note was sitting on a pile of clothes neatly folded on the floor.

"Dear Samantha, I hope this fits. I went to get us some coffee. Roy"

She smiled and picked up the clothes. It was a white mini dress with a longer black dress underneath it. Samantha slipped them on and began to braid her hair in the mirror, remember the soft way that Ed had braided it. Silent tears began to crawl down her cheeks. She grabbed a Kleenex, dried her eyes and walked out of the bathroom.

"Feel better?" Asked Roy, giving her a kind smile and passing her a cup of coffee. Samantha nodded and smiled at him, taking the coffee. Now why don't you tell me all about it…?"

Ed walked into the room, soaking wet and fuming.

"Brother, what happened to you?" Asked Al as Ed stumbled into the room looking like a wet and lonely puppy.

Ed shook his head, and they couldn't tell if he was crying or if it was just the rain. "I'm an idiot." He said, sitting down in a pile of the water that had dripped off of him. "I can't believe what I did."

Lexi passed him a mug of warm tea and passed him a towel. She sat down next to Ed, and tried to look him in the eye.

"Brother, tell us what happened." Said Al, sitting down on the other side of Ed.

"I….I don't know. Winry just asked me if I was going out with Samantha, and I said no. Then she just…kissed me. I just sort of sat there, and for a moment I thought it was Samantha I was kissing, so I kissed back. Then she came in and…" He broke off with a sigh. "Now I don't know what to do."

"Well," said Havoc from his spot at the table. "I saw the Colonel run after her. She might be in his room. Don't forget that all of us need to go to the formal dinner tonight. You might need to find someone to go with before Mustang steals every girl in Central."

Ed nodded, and stood up. "I'm gonna try to talk to her." He said, and walked out the door.

"Lexi," said Al shyly, "Would you…go with me to the dinner?" Lexi smiled and nodded.

"Then who am I supposed to go with!" Whined Havoc loudly, putting out his cigarette and lighting another one.

Samantha finished talking to Roy with a sigh and looked down at her empty coffee mug.

"Wow," said Roy, draining the rest of his coffee from his mug. "You really do like the shrimp don't you?"

Samantha nodded slightly and stood up. "Thank you Colonel sir. I really am glad that you came and got me, otherwise I might have jumped into the river."

Roy smiled and stood up, ruffling his hair with his hand. "This may be a little short notice but… there's this military thing tonight. A dinner and I was wondering if you would like to come with me."

Samantha thought about Ed's comments about his superior officer. "'He'll get any girl he can in bed!'" He had said about Roy. "'Watch your back when you're around the Colonel.'"

Samantha quickly shoved those thoughts out of her head. "Yes. I would love to go with you."

Ed ran towards the Colonel's room, fuming. He did like her yes, and he DID NOT want Samantha to be seduced by the Colonel. "I'm such an idiot!" He told himself as he ran towards the Colonel's room. Just as he reached the door it was opened by Samantha, who was panting slightly and looking flushed.

"Oh, hello Edward," she said, shutting the door and brushing past him.

"All I get is a hello? I came to apologize and save you from Colonel and all I get is a HELLO!" Ed was panting slightly as Roy opened the door, and ignoring him, addressed Samantha.

"I'll be there to pick you up at around seven." He said with a dashing smile. Sam smiled back and leaned in to give him a kiss. Ed groaned and slumped against the wall as their tongues darted in and out of each others mouths. They broke the kiss, and Roy, a smile on his face shut the door.

I see you've already given in to the Colonel," said Ed dejectedly.

Samantha ignored him and began walking towards the room.

"HEY! I'm talking to you! That man will sleep with any woman he meets!"

Samantha whirled around to face him, anger in her eyes. "And you won't? I know you like Winry, so just leave me alone." She ran towards the room and shut the door locking him out.
