A/N: Another chapter! Thanks to everyone for all the awesome reviews! They're what get me up in the morning and help me survive school!
Sorry about the kinda slow update. I had exams last week, and they were driving me crazy! I was really stressed out because I thought for sure that I failed my Spanish exam. I found out that I got an 87! I DIDN'T FAIL! And I got a pretty good grade too! (I usually get 90s in most of my subjects)
But I'm still stressed for the rest of the exams.
So now I'm really happy and I'll try to make this chapter longer!
Enjoy!

Dear Winry,
Hey, do you want to visit Xing? I'd come over there, but I'm still Ling's guard and things haven't settled enough for us to leave Xing. (You know, emperorly duties and all that.)
Oh! And Ling had a choice choosing a bigger, stronger guard when he became emperor, but he stuck with me instead!
…So I guess there isn't much to do but pray nothing happens to me or Ling. Wish us luck. We'll need it.
Roy Mustang… the Furer of Amestris, right? And I remember Hawkeye. Those two would make a cute couple. Good luck!
Your friend,
Lanfan

Dear Winry,
… I knew that.
I'm not sure when I can come home. I'll try as soon as I can.
I miss you too!
Tell everyone that I said hi.
Love,

Dear Lanfan,
I've never been to Xing before! I can't leave right now though, the shop's been pretty busy lately and Ed said he might visit soon! (YAY!)
That's awesome! I think he likes you, but I don't think he's realized it himself yet.
Thanks for the luck! I wish you some too!
Oh, and anything going on there? I heard that some adviser wanted to cut Ling's hair off.

Master Ling,
Please be on the lookout for trouble. I think Mei might be planning something.
No it's not a rebellion or anything, she's just being mischievous.
With the best of luck,
Lanfan

Dear Ed,
Guess what? Sheska, Mustang's gang, and I are all making up a plan to get Hawkeye and Mustang together! Don't you think they'd make a cute couple?
And I found out Mustang's dog's name; it's White Kogiarashi. It goes pretty well with Black Hayate, don't ya think?
Anything interesting where you're going? I'm bored…
Love,
Winry

Mei,
Alright, I'll get Ruko to the diner hall by seven. Make sure Ling and Lanfan are there.

Dear Winry,
Come to Xing whenever you have time, you'll always be welcome.
Thanks for all the support too!
The Ling hair episode? Well yeah, one of the advisers thought that short hair would make Ling look more regal. But Ling loved his hair. He said a few …bad words to the adviser and stomped off. The (evil) adviser was going to make someone cut his hair off when he was sleeping, but I stopped him. I said that our people were fed up with regalness and that he might get more support if he kept his looks that the people knew so well.
Thank god he believed me.
Besides keeping Ling happy, I was being selfish too.
I mean, WHO WANTS A BOYFRIEND WITH A BAD HAIRCUT? HE WOULD LOOK HORRIBLE!
…But I'd still love him even if his hair was short.
But still, CAN YOU IMAGINE LING WITH SHORT HAIR! I'LL NEVER LET IT HAPPEN! NEVER!
Yeah…
Oh, and Mei got a growth spurt! She's always been a bit short for her age. And her voice is almost starting to sound like a lady's! It's not as squeaky anymore.

Dear Lanfan,
Thanks for the advice.
Is Mei playing matchmaker again? Any idea who are the victims this time?
Oh those poor people.

Roy,
I'm coming over to check your desk right now. If I find one unfinished paper in your office, you can kiss freedom goodbye. I'll be there in ten minutes, right after I walk Black Hayate.

Havoc,
Please come to my office right away. I need your help to get rid of all my unfinished paperwork.
Please, I'm begging for your help!
I mean, your Furer commands you come to his office right now!
-Roy Mustang (The Almighty Furer)
…..
Furer Mustang,
I thought you said you were done with your paperwork.
And why do you need to get rid of it?
-Jean Havoc
…..
Havoc,
That doesn't matter! We only have seven and a half minutes until she gets back! Get your ass over here right now!
-Roy Mustang
…..
Furer Mustang,
Ok, Ok, I'm coming. Jeez.

Fury,
Why are Mustang and Havoc passing notes?
-Breda
…..
Breda,
I don't know. And why did you send me a note? I'm sitting right next to you!
-Fury
…..
Fury,
… I don't know.
-Breda

Hey guys,
What do you think Mustang and Hawkeye are doing?
-Fury
…..
I'm not sure. Why are we passing notes again?
-Folman
…..
Because we don't want them to hear us! Hawkeye has ears like a hawk!
-Breda
…..
…No kidding.
But what are they doing anyway?
-Folman
…..
Mustang called me into his office earlier and wanted me to help him get rid of his paperwork. Heard him muttering about a puppy play date. Then a real date. Then something about babies.
-Havoc
…..
Puppy play dates? Weird.
Hey, what about the Mustang + Hawkeye (M+H) plan?
-Fury
…..
Yeah, we should start that soon. We need to call Fullmetal's girl and find Sheska.
But can we get something to eat first?
-Breda
…..
Wait, Mustang just slipped me a note when he left with Hawkeye. Here, I'll show you.
-Havoc
…..
Havoc,
I'm going out to lunch with Hawkeye! Hell yeah!
… I didn't say that. I want the rest of my paperwork burned by the time we get back.
-Mustang (The Furer who everyone bow downs to b/c he's so awesome)
…..
Wow…
He obviously likes Hawkeye. This'll make our plans easier.
-Folman
…..
Well duh. Can we get something to eat now? There's this awesome new donut place that just opened up down the street. And Mustang and Hawkeye will be gone for a while, they won't notice.
-Breda
…..
Sounds great! I'm starved!
-Fury
…..
Sure, why not.
-Folman
…..
You guys go ahead. Mustang'll incinerate me if I don't get rid of all his paperwork.
-Fury
…..
We should get that guy a secretary. I'll have to ask Sheska about that.
Bye Havoc! And good luck!

Well, how'd ya like it? I LOVED the little note passing scene with Mustang's gang! It was so much fun to write!
Please Read:
In the last chapter, some people said that the letters were getting a bit hard to follow. This time, can everyone please tell me what they think? I have a format in mind that could help make the story easier to follow, but keep it somewhat the same.
PLEASE TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK!

And on a totally different note, I started watching Fruits Basket! (In English dub) Currently on episode 21! I LOVE KYO, HE'S So DARN CUTE! Yuki's awesome too!
