21 oh ya, I'm exited about this one because I get to use a scene ive been working on for a few days with roy and Riza.
Disclaimer: do you have to ask?

Roy and Riza trudged along a dirt road, dressed in civilian clothes. Much to Al's distaste and protest, he had stayed back with the circus people to stay with Winston because it was still their mission.
Roy wiped the sweat from his brow, today the sun was sweltering.
Riza stopped and so did he, and rested his hands on his knees. Riza pulled a folded up map out of nowhere, and began attempting to read it. At first she read it the proper way, then leaned to her left frustrated.
"argh! This stupid map is unreliable!" she exclaimed in frustration.
"if it's unreliable, then burn it." Said roy coolly despite the heat of the day.
Riza began reading the map again, or trying. "oh please I'm not gonna…" she never got to finish her sentence because the map in her hands went up in flames and instantly turned to ash. She turned to roy furious.
He had his right hand in his pocket but Riza could see the very top of his hand.
"you burned it." She said blatantly.
"did I?" roy asked amused. "what do you mean by burn?" he asked smirking at Riza's reaction.
"you idiot! now were even more lost than when we started!" she yelled quite loud considering she scared a flock of birds out of a tree. Too bad there weren't any tree's for miles.
Roy cringed at her chiding, and yelling.
Riza sat down on the side of that path, then jumped back up and pulled her gun out of her jacket.
"woah! Put. The. Gun. Down." Said roy slowly like he was talking to a crazed criminal not his very sain (more sain than him) first lieutenant.
She rubbed the spot where she had the gun, and grimaced.
Then roy noticing he had jumped to conclusions became worried." Are you okay Hawkeye?" he asked concernedly.
"ya, it's just the gun burned me." She said grimacing, even talking made it painful.
Roy had a surprised frown on his face. Then an idea hit him.
"let me check it." He said moving quickly." where is it?" he asked.
"my back." Said Riza giving him a glare, because she knew roy, oh she knew him much too well.
roy paused. "…oh…" he said "well that's awkward." He said trying to force a laugh in his voice. Then he stopped and got really close to Hawkeye's face.
"err, sir?" she asked.
"I think you have a burn on your mouth too, let me fix that." He said.
Riza got a sort of panicked freaked out look on her face. Well that was just on the outside on the inside she was like finally.
Without warning roy moved in and kissed her on the mouth, his plan in motion and supposedly "fixing" the burn there. But we all know there's no burn.
Riza was the one to break the kiss. At first she looked sweet and almost happy, but that changed instantly when her mind caught up with her emotions. She slapped him.
"Roy Mustang!" she bellowed. "I… I…should…" she tried to say.
"you should what?" roy asked looking unnaturally charming at the moment.
"i… so.. I guess were kinda… a…" said Riza looking away almost embarrassed.
"a couple? Yup." Said roy cheerily.
"did you get hit on the head or something?" Riza asked.
"huh? Why?" roy asked thinking she didn't want to be a couple with him.
"no it's just you.. wouldn't normally do that.. your acting different." she said suspiciously. " well, lets go." She said walking down the path to their destination.

"so.. lost… it.. so… hot." Wined Ed with Akane behind him.
"Akane, cant you just…"
"no." she said flatly.
"but, you're the Ice alchemist!" cried Ed.
"I cant use alchemy right now my pressure point got hit." She said.
"what? Just draw a circle." Said Ed.
"I cant, I don't know how do conventional alchemy, I'm sure you don't remember." Said Akane
"not.. really." Said Ed rather taken aback at how right she was.
Ed kept walking holding his arm out to his right as to not burn himself.
"arm.. so tiered," he mumbled.
Then he attempted to put it down but Akane grabbed it and quickly released it as soon as she caught it.
She held her had and her breath, then after a minuet or so of Ed sanding doing nothing and Akane kneeling on the ground, she sighed painfully and got up blew on her hand and kept walking.
After an hour or so Ed spotted water.
"water! No.. river!" he yelled. And sure enough a river and a small forest was there. Ed and Akane glanced at each other before running like idiots to the water.
Ed and Akane jumped in, the water wasn't deep but it wasn't shallow either.
Ed practically steamed, the automail was so hot.
Later Ed had decided to make camp and alchemized a tent and other things he could.
Akane went down by the river to think.
She thought about everything that was going on. And what sakura had said "if you die that'll weaken us." But why would it weaken them? Blood of a brother and sister, so my blood and dens blood is what created them…. So if both of us were to die… the jinkoo would die too! She thought becoming exited at the fact she had figured out how to get rid of them.. but not the fact that it would kill her.
Then she began thinking again. What it today? "hey Ed!" she called, and headed up to where he made the camp because she was sure he couldn't hear her from that distance.
"hey, ed." She said when she was right next to him. "what day is it?" she asked out of curiosity.
"why the hell do you want to know that?" Ed asked as a bucket he alchemized fell on his head from a tree, and a raccoon took half of the tent.
He sighed "the twenty-sixth of march." He said un caring. Then he started looking around, for the other half of the alchemized tent.
Akane didn't notice. The twenty-sixth? No…no… thought Akane shaking her head, and then took off down to the water darting through trees.
She made it to the river side and sat down a tear splashed on the ground, and the sky slowly began getting dark.
Akane wrapped her arms around her knees hugging them close to her .
Ed freaked out, something as simple as the date could put her over the edge. Damn… how did he fall in love with her? He asked himself mentally.
He went frantic searching everywhere, then after and hour he reached the river where Akane was sitting there hugging her knees the clouds beginning to release a light drizzle.
Ed walked slowly down to her, then he noticed she was crying. He sat down next to her and leaned in close.
"it's not like you to cry…Akane." said Ed in the softest tone he could manage.
"I'm.. not …crying." She said furiously wiping at her eyes the rain mingling with her tears as it began to pour heavily.
"what's bothering you?" asked Ed extremely concerned, he couldn't stand to see people cry especially not ones he cared about.
She whimpered and then like the sky water poured from her dark eyes.
She spilled everything, about her past and everything. He listened patiently, as she told him that those people were her old teachers and how they killed everyone she cared about. About how the only other people who knew were winry, roy, and Riza, because winry caught her having a night mare, and roy had a deuce –report-. (I'm not sure how to spell it I think I spelled something completely wrong.)
He listened until she stopped and looked at him. She threw herself at him and he allowed her to cry on his shoulder.
They were already soaked but they sat there for a while. Finally Akane stopped lifted her head up her face very close to Ed's.
They leaned in slowly, and made contact.
They kissed for who knows how long, but it was a wet kiss because Akane was still crying a bit.
They stopped kissing and looked at each other.
"you can stop crying now." Said Ed softly.
"who's crying? It's raining." Said Akane allowing a smile to play across her lips.
"I guess were a couple now." Said Akane leaning her head on his shoulder.
"ya, I guess." Said Ed, internally whooping at his success.
Akane listened to his voice, the voice she had fallen in love with, she listened to the steady heartbeat counting the beats.
After a while they went back up to the camp site where they caught a bunch of raccoons tearing it up, and one of them was taking the other half of the tent.
The other raccoons scattered at the sight of Ed and Akane, but not this one, oh no, this one stared right at them furiously.
Ed started chasing it but it ended up chasing him and finally practically mauled him. After Akane treated the wounds as best as she could Ed remade the campsite and they went to sleep.
