"WHAT?!" screamed Mustang

"We're stuck here!" Breda answered while the others were freaking out and crying behind him.

"No! I have things to do this weekend!" Falman yelled.

"I finally got a date and this is what happens?!" whined Havoc.

"I think the walls are closing in! Help! I'm claustrophobic! LET ME OUT!" Fury cried, scratching at the walls.

"Everyone calm down!" came the stern voice of Hawkeye, shutting everyone up immediately. "Your all acting like its the end of the world, we're only snowed in. Did you even check how high the snow was? Or if you could see light out through the top of it?" They all exchanged glances then shook their heads. She sighed then turned to their commanding officer. "Sir, I think it would be best to check how high the snow is from the window in the office. No one should be around at this time, no one ever is, they've all gone home so we're probably the only ones here. No need to look for others."

He nodded. "Alright. Lieutenant, go check the window then report back to us here. If you see any way to get out, inform me immediately."

She saluted and was gone in a second.

Elysia watched her leave then looked up at Roy who was still holding her. "She's kinda cold." she said.

"Tell me about it." everyone else said in unison.

In a few minutes, the shape of Hawkeye appeared, walking down the hallway. They all looked up to see her face was sober, indicating she had been unsuccessful

"The snow is up about a foot past the doors, sir." she informed him. (okay, I know the doors there are pretty high, but it makes it more fun if its impossible to get them out. You don't want a story with everyone just...leaving, right?)

"Is there any way to get out? A way to get across the snow?" he asked.

"No, sir."

Mustang gave a heavy sigh. He tried to think of something, a plan to get them out of this. "I can't see any way to get away from this. I think we're all stuck here together." he got five groans in return. A small yawn came from the snow-suit in his arms.

"Uncle Roy, I'm tired." Elysia mumbled, rubbing her eyes. "I wanna go to bed."

Roy sighed. "Alright, soon." he turned to his subordinates, resuming his role as leader. "Falman, Fury, Breda, Havoc, I want you four to come with me to the mess hall, we'll get a few cots out of storage then haul them back to the office." he turned to Riza. "Hawkeye, would you mind taking Elysia for me?"

The blonde woman was a bit hesitant before she nodded. "Yes, sir."

"Thanks." he said, handing her over to his lieutenant. "Try to get her to go to sleep." he looked at Elysia. "Be good for Miss Riza okay? Good night if you fall asleep before we get back." he said before starting off down the hall, the others at his heels. This left the two standing alone.

Hawkeye looked down to see the small girl yawn again, she couldn't help but smile slightly.


Hawkeye sat on the couch in the office, setting a half asleep Elysia down onto the fabric beside her. She watched her yawn then look up to her with big green eyes.

"Miss Riza, can I have my Floppy?" she asked.

"Your Floppy?"

"Yeah, my puppy doggy."

Riza, guessed it was the small stuffed dog in the bag next to the couch. She reached over and grabbed it then passed it to Elysia who thanked her. Noticing the child's shiver, Hawkeye removed her military jacket and drapped it over her. Smiling as she felt her snuggle up to her side, she closed her eyes, hoping not to fall victim to slumber. Oops, too late. Both girls were dead asleep in minutes, snuggled together on the couch like mother and daughter after a hard day.

Not even the door opening and the sound of the five men walking in with the cots woke them up, not even Breda's cursing as he dropped one of the cots on his foot! Only after the beds were set up did they notice the two of them on the couch. They snickered and crawled into their beds while the Colonel put a blanket over them. In the quiet of the night, Havoc flicked their foreheads.

"Fork it over, I won the bet. They fell alseep."

The grumbled and passed him the cash then turned over to sleep.
