Hens
Riza bit back a giggle as she scooted over to make room for Gracia. Chris Mustang had insisted on throwing her a proper hen party, and Riza had to admit that she was enjoying herself. Of course, that had to do with the fact that Chris kept regaling the group with embarrassing stories from Roy's childhood. Between that, good drinks, and the rest of her friends, Riza was having a fine time. It was nice to just not think about the wedding for a while. As much as Riza was looking forward to marrying Roy, sometimes it was more work than she really liked.
Gracia had whipped up hot toddies for the group, and quite honestly, they were catching up on several years' worth of gossip. Yes, everyone had been busy with the changes to both Amestris and their lives in the last year or so, but life happened anyway. Besides, there really hadn't been that much of a chance to talk about love lives, families, and adventures during all of that upheaval. In fact, they're never really gotten a chance to piece together all of the stories from that time to see what kind of a whole they made.
There was also a fair amount of teasing as well. Riza bore the brunt of it because she was the one getting married, but she gave as good as she got. It was fun to tease Maria about her recent engagement or Winry about married life. So it was with laughter and fun that they spent the evening, and that was in Riza's mind a good way to prepare for a wedding.
