Here we go:

Roy was damn worried. He hadn't been so worried in his whole life. And all for what?
A wounded soldier?
A pretty wounded soldier that had saved his life, and pretty much the whole country. Yeah, he couldn't let Al die, no matter what.

He couldn't die because of his family. Yes, and China!...and because Roy wanted him alive…

He sighed. Here are the weird thoughts again.

Havoc was a good soldier. Roy liked him. He wasn't that much of a strategic genius, but he sure knew how to fight.

Fuery was a really nice guy. Roy thought the young man would never be good in a commanding position, but as a soldier, he was just perfect. The ideal pawn. He knew what to do, when to do, and he was one of those really sweet guys.

Falman was pretty sharp. He was good to keep close too.

Yes, the three and Al were the best of his men, the colonel was sure of it.

Al. Is he all right? Is he hurt badly? Is he alive?
Jean, Vato and Kain seemed worried too.

The doctor came out of Al's tent at last.

He had a weird face. He approached Roy and whispered something.

"You are a brave leader…" doctor Knox, a tough but good at his job doctor said.

"Thank you." Roy said confused. Dr Knox wasn't known for making too many compliments.

"Taking a woman in your team…"
Roy's heart stopped.

"He may look pretty, but I don't think he's a woman" Roy smiled false.

"Trust me, colonel, I know a pair of breasts when I see them. That's no man inside that tent." He whispered and got his things. "I'm going to head back to my village. There are some corps waiting for me" he said and took off on his horse.

Roy was frozen. No. Impossible. Al had been in his team for a few months not.

There was no way his favorite soldier was a woman.

Still.

Some part of his brain was screaming in happiness. So he wasn't going nuts, he was straight! His feelings for 'Al' were perfectly explicable!
Then again, his heart was hard like a stone. He could hardly breathe.

Women weren't allowed in the army. They were killed.

'Al', or whatever the fuck his name was, couldn't die. Roy couldn't even bare the thought of it.

A woman. No. Impossible.

"Colonel?" Havoc, who hadn't heard the doctor called him. "Is Al okay?"
"I'll go check on him" Roy said with a distant voice.

Maybe this was a mistake. Yes, a mistake. The doctor was nuts, some people said.

Roy always liked him and found him a very capable man, but who knows, maybe after he spent too much time between corpses he went nuts. Yes, that was possible.

He entered the tent.

Riza heard a noise and opened her beautiful hazel eyes. She saw Roy's face and winced. He was okay!

She wasn't thinking straight. Damn, she wasn't even thinking. All she knew was that Roy was there.

She got up, leaning on her elbows. The cover fell of, discovering her bandaged chest. Still, her big enough breasts were very visible. She smiled at him without realizing.

He froze.

So it was true.

The logical part of him was screaming 'this is impossible!'

His heart and hormones were asking him to take her right there.

The colonel part of him wanted to kill Al, or whoever this woman was.

And at the same time the puzzle started to make sense in his mind.

That's why 'Al' wasn't as strong as the others. That explained his, or her voice. That's why she always seemed to smell better than the others. That explained how soft her hair was.

A lot of things started to make sense.

But he was shocked. And this wasn't supposed to happen. It was wrong. And dangerous. For a woman to be in the army. The Homunculi, the men, the nature, the laws…

Everything was against her being there. Still she was.

"I can explain" she suddenly said in a cold, feminine voice, when she realized her mistake.

Riza was cursing inwardly. Damn her idiocy! How could she be so careless?
"Huh, so it's true?" Yoki asked bossy entering the tent.

'He probably just wanted to see me naked' Riza thought irritated.

"Roy!" she called as the colonel stormed out of the tent.

He was still trying to deny. He somehow wanted to cover it up for this woman, whoever she was. He wanted to save her and take her away from there. Away from Yoki, away from the laws.

He wanted to pretend she was a man. But when they were alone, treat her like a woman.

'No.' he inwardly admonished himself. He couldn't. Yoki had seen her. It was too late.

"I knew there was something wrong with you!" Yoki said as he grabbed a wounded Riza and threw her outside the tent.

The men starred in shock. She was holding the blanket around her with her other hand, but every single one of them could see her chest clear.

He brutally took her hair tie and let her dirty hair free.

"A woman!" he shouted accusatory, like he would say 'a worm'.

Havoc narrowed his eyes.

"No fuck."
"Impossible" Falman whispered.

"Al?" Fuery said insecure.

"Trecherous snake!" Yoki said and Roy felt like punching him.

Riza was on her knees. She had been revealed. Roy, Havoc, Fuery, Falman, they all knew. And she was sure they all hated her.

But she couldn't help herself. She had to try. She had to talk to him.

"My name is Riza Hawkeye. I did it to save my father!" she said towards Roy, who looked at her with the corner of his eye.

Damn this woman. After making him think he was gay, she made him consider breaking the law and covering her, and now she made him feel a connection with her.

He would have done, he would still do anything to save his father.

But this brave woman actually did something about it.

"High treason!" Yoki accused.

"I didn't mean for it to go this far!" Riza tried again.

"Ultimate dishonor!" Yoki growled in her face and she had to technically keep her hands together so she wouldn't kick him as hard as she could.

"It was the only way. Please believe me" she said trying to catch Roy's eye.

"Hmm, colonel?" the council member turned to Roy, who had another inward battle.

He felt like his moves were someone else's . He took Riza's (so that was her name…and a very pretty one…) sword and approached her.

"Noo!" Havoc shouted angrily. Damn, the colonel wasn't that much of an idiot!
"You know the law" Yoki stopped Havoc and his friends.

Riza looked at Roy. He had a sword in his hand.

That was it. She was going to die.

'By the hand of the man I love' she finally admitted for herself. Than she bowed her head in anticipation.

She said her last prayers and waited. She thought about her family, about her childhood, about her friends, about her new friends, about everything she had been through. At least she had managed to save her friends' lives. It was enough.

Roy growled lowly. All he wanted was knee near her and touch that beautiful blonde hair. But he couldn't.

His onyx eyes admired the way her neck arched. That's it, he had to stop. He had to lead his men to save China. He had to forget about this woman. He had to….

He threw the sword at her feet. She starred at it.

"A life for a life" his deep, hurt voice said. "My debt is repaid. Move out!" he ordered his men.

"But you can't just…" Yoki tried to argue but fuming Mustang cut his sentence.

"I said 'move out' !"
….

Riza watched as Mustang's troops were eaten by the snow. She watched them until they were black spots far away. Than she couldn't see them anymore.

It was only her, her horse, a blanket and Edward.

All alone, in the cold nothingness.

She felt lonely. Lost. Sad. Terrified. Disappointed. Afraid. Freaked. Heart broken. Ashamed. Humiliated. Cold. Very cold.

Edward tried to make a fire, but he couldn't find enough wood for a serious one.

"I was close, THIS close to impressing the ancestors…" Ed mumbled.

"I should never have left home" Riza said with a small voice.

"Eh, come on. You wanted to save your father's life" Ed replied understanding.

"Maybe I didn't go for my father" she whispered. "Maybe what I really wanted was to prove I could do things right. So when I looked in the mirror I'd see someone worthwhile. But I was wrong. I see nothing" she said throwing away the helmet she was looking at.

She could feel a tear running down her cheek. Damn. She was so weak. Here she was crying again.

After months of pain and suffering, sweating and stinking, she didn't shade any tear. But now, she was all alone, the only physical inconvenient being the cold. No effort, no problems. Just…

Emptiness.

Edward looked at her pained eyes, at her cold face, and felt really sorry for this young woman. He cared about Riza, they were friends damn it! He couldn't stand to see her like that.

He took the helmet from the ground and spitted on it. Riza would normally rise an eyebrow, but now she was too sad.

"Maybe it just needs some spit" he said and started cleaning the helmet. He gave it to her. "I can see you! Look at you, you look so pretty!"
She didn't seem too impressed with his attempt to make her feel better. He sighed.

"The truth is we're both frauds. Your ancestors never sent me, they don't even like me. I mean, you risked your life to help people you love. I risked your life to help myself. At least you had good intentions"
Riza smiled. Despite feeling so miserable, Edward managed to make her feel somewhat better.

"I'll have to face my father sooner or later. Let's go home." She said with a sad voice.

"Yeah, this isn't going to be nice" the dragon mumbled. "But don't worry, okay? Things will work out. We started this together, that's how we'll finish"

Edward hugged her, and Riza couldn't help but smile and hug him back.

"I promise" he added and she smiled again.

Thank God for friends. She would be so dead without Edward.

….

Wrath was out. Breathing air, not snow.

He was really cold. He may be a Homunculi, but he still felt the chills.

He looked around.

He screamed in fury. His army! His huge army! All dead!

"Arghghh!" he cried.

He was furious. Angry. Annoyed. Frustrated.

He didn't give a damn about those soldiers. But he couldn't conquest China without them…

Archer, Kimbley, Gluttony and Envy joined him. So he wasn't the only survivor. A few other soldiers slowly got out of the snow.

"What's up little brother?" Envy asked smirking. "You lost?"
"Shut up, you whore!" Bradley shouted. "We need to get to the imperial city. Now."
"Do I get to eat anyone?" Gluttony asked and Kimbley chuckled.

"You can always eat Envy"
"Shut up" the jealous one argued. "Let's go, before Wrath has another hormonal storm."

"I would shut up if I were you" Wrath said looking at Envy with his uncovered eye. He had his apparent calm mask again. "Let's proceed."

Dum dum XD.

So this was pretty based on feelings, more than actions. I hope you still enjoyed it xD.

I couldn't help but add Envy in the picture 3. Should I let him have his transformation powers?

He's just awesome.
Please review!

Hugs, Anna.
