Roy: Riza...Riza, wake up
Riza: Don't take it out on the phone sir...
Roy: Glad to see you are still hard at work, even in your sleep...
Riza: Shut up and do the disclaimer...
Roy: Fullmetal Alchemist and all related characters, locations, and objects are not owned by either of the fan fiction authors...thank you Lt., for staying by my side...
Amanda: Awww! They've made up!
Erin: You are probably wishing it was you snickers
Amanda: Just read folks...Erin, I'll punish you later!
The next morning, Roy's eyes fluttered open, unsure of where he was. He felt the warmth of another on one side of him and turned to see Riza with her head resting on her forearms at his side. He smiled gently, and lifted a hand to stroke Riza's hair.
"Riza…" He called softly, "It's morning." He watched her eyes slowly open, and then she lifted her head to look him straight in the eye. Her eyes widened and then a large smile slipped onto her face.
"Roy…" She flung her arms around him, holding him to her, "You're alright!"
"Hey, hey, be careful! I'm still sore you know," Roy said as he lightly pushed Riza off of him, "what are the eyes of angel doing crying about me?"
Riza was unsure about what to say or do as Roy just glanced at her longingly, she was about to cry again, but she remembered what she promised to do to him if he managed to live.
"I apologize in advance for this," Riza said as she slapped Roy across the face.
Roy was taken back Riza's display of punishment towards him, but by doing so, she had set the "Nurse's Call" button off which sent a nurse running into the room in a panic as she rushed to see what was the matter. Roy was sitting up and holding the left side of his face as Riza bowed at the waist and quickly left the room in a huff; the nurse did not understand what had happened, but she could tell, whatever Roy had done….he must have deserved it.
Ed had fallen asleep next to Al in the waiting room during the night as well as Sakura; Tomoyo and Havoc had fallen asleep in each other's arms during the night and could be found nestled tightly in each other's arms. Sakura had been awake since dawn and had been pacing the room waiting for news on Roy, but she didn't get the news she was hoping for as she saw an angered Lt. Hawkeye walking down the hall and out the front door.
"Okay, what just happened?" Sakura asked as Ed woke up to the sound of the front doors slamming shut.
"Whatever just happened, it happened between Lt. Hawkeye and Colonel Mustang," Ed said as he turned over onto his side and went back to sleep.
The doctor who had been attending to Roy came down the Waiting Room where he found an excited Sakura as she rushed towards the doctor in hopes of finding out what Roy's state was.
"Doctor, is Colonel Mustang going to make it?" Sakura asked as she stood in front of the doctor.
"He's going to pull through, but something happened between him and Lt. Hawkeye," the doctor said as he flipped through Roy's chart.
"Oh, can we see him?" Sakura asked impatiently.
"You can, but be beware of the machines that he is attached to at the moment," the Doctor said as he led Sakura down the hall.
The Waiting Room was silent once more as Sakura followed the Doctor towards Roy's room; Tomoyo stirred in Havoc's arms and as she slowly opened her tired eyes, she saw that Riza and Sakura were missing.
"Where did they go?" Tomoyo asked out loud as she heard the sound of Sakura's voice as she and the Doctor walked down the hall.
"I hear you had a pretty bad scrapes yourself. Something about a bullet to your lungs?" Sakura's eyes widened and she stopped dead in her tracks, having forgotten all about the wound. She looked down to see blood still seeping through her shirt. "Come into the examination room. I'll have a look at it."
However, when they entered, it was already occupied by an Ishbalan with a scar on his forehead. Sakura's eyes widened as the doctor smiled.
"Here she is, Mr. Scar, the Iscariot girl you asked for."
Sakura was unsure about the the tall tan man with piercing crimson red eyes as he turned around to eye Sakura, his eyes pierced into Sakura's soul as she stood dumbfounded in front of the scarred man. Scar eyed Sakura up and down until his eyes came to rest upon the wound where Hohenheim's bullet had pierced into her body. He reached his arm of alchemy towards the wound, but as his hand reached the spot, the transmutation symbols upon his arm started to glow bright.
"This girl is the one that I have been seeking," Scar said as he moved his hand away from Sakura.
Sakura was overwhelmed by the power of Scar's arm of alchemy as her mind started to grow dizzy as the blood from her wound continued to spill onto her shirt as she grew dizzy and fell towards the floor.
"We need to get her up off the floor," the Doctor said as he reached for Sakura, but Scar got to her first.
