A/N: Here's the sequel to the last drabble, "Almost Blind Date". It's also a semi-sequel--or perhaps the true beginning of a running gag--to the very first drabble.

Drabble 6: She's Dating Who?
"What kind of name is that?"
"Roy, I'm pretty sure Riza said Greed was his last name..."
"He's named after a sin Hughes! That can't be a good sign--"
"It's just a name, you don't know the guy--"
"He's going out with Riza tonight--"
"Exactly."
"...Wipe that damn smile off your face Maes."
"Come on Roy, it's obvious; this is a sign for you to get your ass into gear and finally go after Ms. Hawkeye in an actual commitment, you know, that thing where marriage and babies come thereafter--"
"Gah, you're twinkling like Armstrong--"
"--Or it could be a scheme conducted to stir jealousy and provoke you into making a move; still, your next course of action remains the same, true and clear..."
"I'm following Riza tonight when she goes out with that Greed."
"Uh, no, that's not the true and clear action my friend--"
"Said she'd be going out around 7, so better secure an initial hiding spot a little while before then, and just continue moving covertly as they both proceed to the restaurant--"
"Roy, start thinking of alternatives, not of stalking methods!"
"--If he takes her to some crap bar, I'll fry him!... Covertly."
"Roy, you know this is a bad idea when I'm against it!"
"Mr. Hughes--"
"Scieszka? What the--what is it?"
"Uh, well sir, I finally got that case record done for you--hey, wasn't Mr. Mustang here? I saw him a second
ago--"
"What! Ah, damn it, he ran off!... Oh god, Riza's gonna kill him..."
A/N: I challenged myself to write this particular drabble all in dialogue, and I wonder if you guys think it worked well. Next up is the conclusion to this little Roy/Riza with Greed in the middle... Also, so happy to have included Hughes, he's one of my absolute favorite FMA characters; he's right up there with Greed and Scar... So sad when he was killed off, I actually felt numb that night. (There's really a very special personal story with ep. 25...but I can talk about that another time.)
