AN: This is the first chapter. It is a trial Chapter. Lets just see where it goes.

AN: Riza OOC but that's okay because this chapter is before the anime/manga line and so she is till young and optimistic.

Chapter 1

She is 15 and he is 17.

It is a warm summer morning as Riza sat on the front veranda of the large vine covered house. Her short golden hair swept sideways with the warm summer breeze. The young boy, her father's apprentice had returned home to Central for a few days. No one lived in this large house but her and her father. it was very lonely with out Roy around. Whenever he left she would patiently wait for his return. Without him around there was no one to talk to.

He was due to return tomorrow and she wish he would be home sooner. She hated being trapped in the house all alone. She stared down the road towards town. His figure appeared in the distance. She waited a few moments before getting up and racing down the dirt path to the front gate. She ran out the gate and made her way down the dirt road.

"Roy!" Riza called as she ran towards him. He saw her running towards him. He started to walk quicker. As the distance between them got smaller he dropped the bag he had been carrying. Riza ran straight at him and flung her arms around his neck. He wrapped his arms around her middle.

"You're back" she said breathlessly as they parted."Well I wasn't going to miss your birthday today" he told her. He pulled out a small package from his bag. It was wrapped in blue paper and was quiet small. He handed her the package and urged her to open it. Inside was a delicate silver pocket watch on a silver chain. Engraved on the front was 2 R's.

"Roy it is beautiful" she exclaimed.

"I saw it and thought of you" he smiled at her

"R and R" she whisper rubbing her finger across the inscription

"so we will always be together no matter what". This made her smile. He took the watch from her and placed it around her neck. She opened the watch inside was a photo of herself and Roy. It had been taken a few months back when she had gone to central with him and met his family.

"Thank you, so much Roy" she said.

"I'll race you back to the house" she said and grinned at him. He smiled.
"Ready…Set.. Go" she stated and then they both took off. They ran up the road and through the gate. Riza was in the lead when Roy caught he by the waist and they both tumbled to the ground. Laughing they land on the ground next to her. She looked at him and he lent over kissed her lightly on the lips.
