Out of little Black eyes

Chapter 4: Where is Roy? And why is Kindergarten hell?

The day ended not as peaceful as expected, but it never happens like someone plans.

Riza woke up with new energy. Today she would go to work and Ryan would start in Kindergarten. She walked out of her room and heard a frying pan?

There was no Ryan on the sofa. She went into a kitchen were there a little 5 year old was standing on a stool trying to make eggs. He still was in his PJ´s. Riza chuckled and startled the boy. He hopped from the stool and said while looking up with little black eyes

"I wanted to make breakfast for you as an apology. Are you still mad about yesterday?"

How sweet he can be Riza was happy.

"Of course I not angry any more. Just promise me you won't play with fire."

He nodded and gave her a toothy grin. She took the spatula from the little hand, put the stool back to its place and finished the breakfast. After they ate Roy changed for his 1. Day of Kindergarten I lost my pride. Well nobody will fined out so it's half as bad as it seems Riza and Roy walked through the ally but instead of walking through the park she turned right to an uptown. There they stopped in front of a VERY colourful gate that said:

Welcome to Fun-Road Day-care

Roy didn't want to believe his eyes. This was the place he was going to stay. That was the mot embarrassing building he ever saw. It looked so childish.

"I will pick you up at 4, ok?" He just nodded.

"Have a nice day little guy"

He watched as she left. Leaving him alone with all the little children. He walked to the room picture which Riza gave him. It was a soccerball. He liked soccer so at least it was not one of the other ridiculous pictures. He came into the classroom and found...

Riza was on the way to the Military Building. She walked through the little park and thought about the Colonel. Where he could be and why he doesn't call if something happened. Seemingly only Hughes knows where he is. Maybe she has to ask him. She walked up all the stairs to the Office to see Havoc smoking one of is cigarettes. Well he always smokes so it isn't something special. The others sat silently at their desks doing their work. Without the Colonel there is no action in the office. Maybe that is why he does all those things also meaning why he doesn't do some things.

It was very boring without him...

He came into the classroom and found chaos. A bunch of little children, screaming, playing, running. All hyper on some illegal drug named cookies. He watched everything. 3 of those children caught his eye. They were at least a head bigger than him and twice as wide and everybody tried to stay away from them. The teacher walked up to Roy and tried to calm the class. Only a few noticed the new kid but it was not big of an interest. She said that Roy could draw something for the classroom. Bad that the pencils were at the table were the big kids sat. But Roy was not scared. He was in Ishbal War and he would take those 3 with a snip of his fingers. Poor Roy forgot that he didn't have any gloves. So he went up and the trouble begins.

"Look it's a gnome"

"Hey watch it fat ass" Roy said while he was taking a pencil out of the box.

"Well, well another brave one. Do you know what we do to brave little kids like you?"

"No but I tell you what I say to jerks like you: kiss my ass"

And with that the little black haired boy walked away with his pencils and took seat to start drawing something for the classroom. Actually Roy was only doodling on a paper when he saw what he drew. It was a house by a lake which he remembered from his childhood. Roy was a very good artist and the teacher was very pleased of his drawing. Because he didn't find an activity that he liked he stayed by drawing.

Riza was yawning. It was half past 3 o'clock and she would get ready to pick up Ryan from Fun-Road Day-Care. At first the name scared her but she heard a lot of good things about this Day-Care. She trusted the words of the mothers which worked in the military. She put away the last document and started to leave. Black Hayet following her foot.

Roy stood outside the Day-Care. In his hands some of his pictures. There was one of Riza and Black Hayet, and one of Ishbal War. He hid that one from the teacher, so she wouldn't think he is some war crazed kid. The war was the worst experience in his howl life. He folded the picture and put it in the pocket of his jacket.

He looked up the road as he heard a dog barking. It was Black Hayet who happily ran towards him, Riza right behind. Black Hayet greeted Roy with a big wt kiss on the cheek. Roy took his sleeve to wipe of the dog slobber. He then walked to Riza and showed her the picture he drew.

"Oh Ryan that is awesome! You have talent" she smiled that sweet smile he used to dream of.

"I want to give it to you" He said, a faint blush on his cheeks.

"Well thank you very much. When we come home, would you sign it?" He nodded. She took his hand and started to walk home.

On the way Roy told her about his day. How there was havoc, and the big kids at the table with the pencils and what he drew. Riza was proud of him. He was small but smart. He is an unusual kid. She thought as he was telling her about his day. When he was finished they just came to the apartment building. He just realized how beautiful it was, with its old big door and all the frills around the windows. Really beautiful Not only the house is, also Riza Roy thought with a little smirk.

"What are you grinning about?" Riza asked happy to see that the boy got settled down.

He looked up to her

"Nothing" and with that he climbed the stairs with new energy.
