You know how this works. I don't own Roy (don't I wish), I don't own his staff, and I don't own Central. Pretty much the only things I do own are the plot, my character (General Ree), and the academy (yeah, that was me). Oh, and anyone mentioned in the flashback is also my creation. Quick background, I brought Hughes back (yeah, saw that coming, didn't you?) because he's too awesome to die. The grave can't stop him! Well, that's enough of that, let's get this party started.

Roy and Arika stayed up all night on the roof of his building. They talked about school, friends, jobs, everything and nothing. It was wonderful. She loved talking to him, it was amazing. It got late fast, and they fell asleep. Waking up with Roy just felt right. Arika woke with the first light, and saw Roy laying there. He was just beginning to stir when the bird poop landed in his hair. Oh, that's right, she thought, we're still on the roof. They had spent the night before talking on the roof, and here they were.
"Crap!" Roy shouted.
"That is what it appears to be," she said teasingly.
"I need a shower. Come on, let's head back inside."
They walked down the stairs and into his rooms. "What do you have to eat in this place?" she asked when she go to the kitchen.
"There isn't much," he called from his room. "I usually get breakfast on the way to work."
Crap! she thought. "You're going to be late," she called.
"It's my day off." She could here the grin from where she now stood in his living room. He turned on the water and it became difficult to hear what he was saying. She walked into his room.
"Say that again."
"What are we doing today?"
"I was going to go find a place to live."
"I could help you, I know this place like the back of my—"
"Oh, don't give me that."
"Well, I know the good neighborhoods from the bad ones."
"This place is a mess," Arika said, looking around.
"Yes, but it's my mess."
After a few minutes, during which Arika attempted to clean 'his mess', the water shut off. She walked back out to the kitchen. "So," she yelled "feel like getting something to eat while we're out?"
When he answered, it made her jump. She hadn't heard him sneak up behind her. "Love to."
She turned and saw him. He was wearing a robe and he was still dripping wet. "Unless your plan on going out like that, I suggest you dry off and get dressed," she said with a smirk.
"Where's today's paper?" she asked.
"I don't get the paper," he called from his room.
"You're kidding, right?"
"Nope. After what I see day in and day out, I don't need to see my work make the news."
"Well, how do you expect me to find a place?"
"There are buildings all over the place here. If we take a walk, we're bound to find something." He walked out. He had jeans and a blue t-shirt on.
"That's better. Let's go."
about two hours later
"Roy, I'm tired. We haven't found anything. Let's just go back to your place. We can start looking again later." They began to walk back to his apartment building, and when they arrived, they saw something wonderful. It was a small sign hanging in the front window. It read 'Space for Rent, See Landlord'.
"What do you think Roy?" she asked slyly. "Good neighborhood?"
He looked at her for a minute. "It could be fun, living in the same building."
After half an hour, it was settled. She lived down the hall from Roy, right near the roof entrance. They went upstairs, and she opened the door. The apartment was a good size, came with kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, all the necessities. "I love it," she said, turning to Roy. "Let's get lunch."

I know, I know, but it's a work in progress. If you read, you review.
