Chapter 9: Two Hearts One Mind, Part 1

(Authors note- alright time to add a little drama into my story. I hope you like this chapter.)

Just as the sun has stetted and the sky was black and the stars started to shine. Roy finally fell asleep. Just as he was in the state where he was going to go in a deep sleep his Comstat went off. While Roy was moving around to get his Comstat form his pocket Riza also woke up. Roy rubbed his eyes and looked over to see that it was 7:04pm

"Yeah?" Roy let out trying to make it seem like he was not just sleeping

"Sir? Fuery here umm did I just wake you up?" Fuery asked

"What do you want Fuery?" Roy said back into his demanding voice

"We got a little bit of a problem here. Where are you?"

"I'm with Hawkeye in her room. I needed to find out what happened downstairs for a report. What's wrong?"

"Well Sir we have to situations one the Fuhrer is on the line and wants a word with you and second you need to come here to get dressed, Hawkeye is suppose to stay there"

"So the Fuhrer is on the phone? I swear that man doesn't trust anyone on a mission. I have to go down stairs again right?" Roy said in a whine.

"Actually no sir, there is a phone by the stairs on every floor just go there. Here is the number…" Fuery said while giving the number to Roy.

"Alright I'll be down in 5 minutes" Roy said then turned off his Comstat

Roy glanced down and realized Riza was awake as much as he was. "I didn't mean to wake you up" Roy said while realizing the position they were in and gently pushed Riza off of him.

"I know, I'm a light sleeper" Riza replied.

"Why would the Fuhrer be calling?" Roy said while getting up and pulling his shirt back on and started to head for the door.

Riza got up and pulled her pants back on then followed Roy as she usually did.

"You don't have to follow you know. Were not on duty" Roy turned and asked.

"As friends then" Riza said while passing Roy and walking down the hall.

Roy just smiled and closed the door then followed Riza. When they got to the phone that Fuery was talking about Roy picked it up and dialed the numbers and waited for someone to answer.

"Hello, Fuhrer Bradley's office" a woman's voice came on the line

"Mrs. Douglas, Roy mustang, can you transfer me to the Fuhrer."

"Alright one moment please." The line was silent for a moment.

"Ah, Roy Mustang I was wanting to speak with you"

"Here is your chance Sir, Kain Fuery told me that you called previous but I wasn't free at the time. "

"Yes, I did call because I have grown knowledge that you have been growing some feeling for your subordinate. Riza Hawkeye. (Roy's eyes narrowed) now I don't want to know the story but do I have to remind you that any romantic relations with your subordinates are strictly forbidden."

"I'm quite aware Sir," Roy replied which made Riza looked at Roy confused.

"Good, I was almost ready to send her back home if you weren't award of the situation. Because of this I might have to separate you two for a while when you get back to central."

"But Sir!"

"Roy, please don't argue with my decision. It might not be final yet. But if I get anything ells then I'll be sure to put my plan into play most definitely. But it seems like she is an important asset to your team right now. So I will allow her to stay until you get back." The Fuhrers voice seemed almost happy as it usually was.

"Yes Sir" Roy said in a hard voice. Riza looked up again.

"Now, is Mrs. Hawkeye with you now?"

"Yes Sir, as a first Lieutenant should be"

"Pleas put her on the line, I have to talk with her."

Roy did as he was told and looked at Riza who was still very eager to know what was happening. Roy handed her the phone and still confused she took the phone form his hand.

"Riza Hawkeye speaking" Riza said in a dominant voice.

"Mrs. Hawkeye I want you to stay away from Colonel Mustang for the rest of this mission unless it's to take an acceptable order that anyone could give with out a second thought."

"May inquire as to why, Sir?"

"Lets just say you career in the military is on the line if you continue being so close to him. Do I make my self clear Hawkeye."

"Yes Sir"

"I know you two went through a lot but I want you to stay away from him for now on."

"Yes Sir"

"Good. See you when you're back in HQ"

Riza Hung up the Phone and looked up at Roy with a sad expression then started to walk away.

"Riza?" Roy called

"I'm sorry Sir, Direct Orders from the Fuhrer himself. I have to keep my distance unless it's an order, I'm sorry," Riza said while turning around can continuing on her way.

Roy waited for a minuet wondering what exactly the Fuhrer said to her. Then just as Riza did Roy started on his way to his room.

Riza opened her door and walked into the room. She sat down on a chair and crossed her arms. (How could anyone find that out? Unless one of the others. No they aren't like that. They wouldn't, I believe in my subordinates) Riza thought to her self. Riza was in the middle of thinking when someone was knocking on her door. Riza got up expecting it to be Roy or Havoc but instead it was a young girl and two women who looked the same age as Riza (between 28 and 31).

The youngest girl has short blond hair with glasses and Green eyes. She had her hand wrapped up in a bandage. The girl beside her has Brown eyes and long Black hair tied in a low ponytail. And the girl beside her had Blonde hair as well. But had blue eyes. They all wore the same uniform which was a black knee-high dress with tight sleeves and white aprons and white bonnets. Everything had a lace trim from the cuffs to the dress and the bonnet. They all wore tanned stockings and black low heal shoes. They were all holding a few things in their arms.

Riza opened the door and all three girls bowed their heads.

"Hello Mrs. Mr. Andrew asked us to come up here and find something for you to wear to the party for tonight. We know its short notice and that we only have an hour but that's ok. Not too many people are there right at 8:30" the girl with black hair said with a smile.

"I'm Erica and this is my younger sister Steph and our Friend Natalie." The taller blond said as they all bowed again.

"Oh I'm sorry but I'm afraid that I'm not going to go to this party." Riza replied.

All three girls walked into Riza's room and Natalie turned around and faced Riza. "I'm sorry Mrs. but a handsome man with black hair was walking down the stairs as we were walking up. he told us to tell you that he wanted you to go." Natalie said with a smile.

Riza looked at the girl in shock. Then Erica cut in after she put her stuff on the bed.

"Natalie, you didn't get it right. He actually told us to tell you that it was an order and that you had go. He was trying to say that but it took him a few tries to get it right. That's why my sister is getting confused as well. But he was very egger that you go. I have to admit he was very hansom don't you agree Steph?"

"Yes he was, are you two, together by any chance?" Steph said in question and trying to beat around the bush.

"No. Were not together. He's my boss" Riza smiled weakly

"Boy I envy the girl who gets his heart or gets to kiss him. Even to work with him at all would be good enough for me," Erica said in a daydream voice

"You two are gorse!" Natalie called out.

Steph's bandages caught Riza's eyes and bend down and looked at Steph. "What happened to your hand?"

"Oh, long story short that ghost attacked me today"

"And you didn't quit?"

"No Mrs. I need the money I went home for a bit then came back cause I wanted to be here to see the dances they hold here. There suppose to be beautiful and the best in the West. My sister came with me as well"

"More like I was forced cause you didn't want to come alone."

As the two sisters argued Riza closed the door and walked over to her chair and sat back down. she then pulled out a book and continued form where she left off.

"Umm Mrs. Which one?" Natalie held up two different dresses

The first dress was a red floor length dress with a v cut neck. The v part went pretty low but still a respectable low. It was red satin and had a little train in the back and that ties up like a corset with satin rat tail ropes. It had matching black cotton gloved that went past her elbows to the middle of her for arm.

The second dress was a Blue dress with a skirt and corset. The corset was a floral material and the skirt was a type of wedding dress satin. The corset has blue ribbon ties and was strapless. The skirt also has a tie up backing.

"I'm sorry but the red dress is to red and the blue dress looks like a dress girls wear to their high school prom." Riza said with attitude.

"Oh, lots of people wear these types of dresses to these events. I thought you would want to fit in so I chose the most popular types of dresses," Natalie said looking at both dresses.

"What about the MY dress Natalie!" Steph asked

"Well that dress is different but I'm not too sure you would like it Mrs." Natalie said looking over at the other bag.

"Lets just see it, I'm under orders so I have to choose one." Riza said in an upset voice.

Natalie held up the last dress that was white chiffon and cotton underlay and had a rounded top. It was strapless and was a knee high dress with a tie up backing as well. The dress was trimmed with gold and had a little design in the middle of the gold trim. It came with armbands that were the same gold trim as the dress. The dress also has a pearl/gold bead belt that was like a necklace and hung around the hips. Attached to the belt was white almost invisible chiffon over skirt that was almost identical to the style of Riza's blue uniform skirt (how its open at the front)

Erica's wrist watch went off at 7:55 "oh Mrs. can you please choose a dress and get into the shower quick. We dot have lots of time.

"I don't know." Riza looked at all three

"No time. No time lets go! Shower first then dress" Steph said pushing Riza into the bathroom, turning on the taps then leaving the bathroom.

"Hurry Mrs." Erica said while knocking on the door.
