A/n: I didn't change this chapter that much. I edited as far as deleting stupid words and fixing my mistakes.

Music box: 7: Pained Eyes, I can't

At the wedding, 5:00 pm

"Are you ready?" Mr. Hawkeye asked his daughter. Her face was very well hidden under her veil, so nobody could see her face full of sorrow.

"I believe I am." her voice still cold and frosty. If you were about to marry someone you don't love but you were only marrying him for two reasons. Reason one is that he is just like Roy Mustang, the one she loved and two is that she couldn't stand loving Roy far away! The doors opened and Riza could hear the wedding music. "Dad, I need to go to the bathroom."

"Okay, I'll tell them to wait for you." Riza ran off to the bathroom and opened a stall. She lifted her veil and broke out in sobs. 'What I am I suppose to do? It's stupid to cry. I led this to myself.'

Back at the office, 5:15 pm

'Where is it?' His hand ran through the drawer. 'Where did I put it?' Roy panicked the wedding was going on right now. 'I got it!' he found it and ran out the door. He was late; they could be saying their wedding vows now! He ran and ran time slipping out of his grasp.

At the wedding, 5:17 pm

"Lets go." Riza placed her veil over her face again.

"Yes, darling." The music filled her ears with a deep breath she took her father's arm. Every step that she took another memory of Roy and she played in her head. 'How could this happen to me?'

At the park, 5:18 pm

'Damn, she forgot to tell me which church. There are about 12 churches here.' Roy thought as he wandered aimless in the park. Today marked his lost love, a day he will forever remember. Today was one of those horrible days that you thought couldn't get any worse. It was the day where you lost your true love to a replica of yourself.

At the wedding, 5:23 pm

"Do you take Elizabeth Riza Hawkeye to be your lawfully wedded wife?"

"I do." Rick smiled at Riza, not knowing the pain that was displayed on Riza beneath the veil.

'This isn't what I want!'

"Do you take Robert Thomas Macbeth to be your lawfully wedded husband?"

'What am I doing here?'

'Elizabeth, answer." The minister shook Riza from her thoughts.

"What?"

"Do you take Richard Thomas Macbeth to be your lawfully wedded husband?"

'THIS ISN'T WHAT I WANT!'

"I am sorry! I really am! I am sorry!" She flipped her veil over her head and ran down the red carpet. "I AM SORRY!" Riza pushed open the doors of the church and ran.

At the park, 5:34 pm

"Hey, sleepyhead." A soft and tender voice woke Roy. "You slept long enough." A woman sitting right next to him said. She was gorgeous and in a wedding dress.

"Riza? Is that you?"

"Yes, Roy." This was a miracle; Riza was right next to him and not a ring on her hand. The sun was setting and Riza seem to glow in the fading light of the sun making her seem heavenly. He got down on one knee and pulled out a little red box that matched the color of the setting sun and Riza's eyes.

"Will you promise me that you'll wait for me?" He opened the box and a ring appeared.

"I was saving my 'I do' for this." Riza smiled warmly at Roy as He slipped the ring on her hand. The golden ring was only encrusted with a ruby shaped as a sun. Riza gazed at her ring.

"The colors of the setting sun. The colors of your hair and your eyes. " and that was all he had to say.
