Store-lined Streets

Roy cracked his neck and finished his last bit of beer. It had been a big day for him and his military crew, minus one. They spent the whole day interrogating an alchemist on the whereabouts of the homunculi without Lieutenant Hawkeye. (She was the most skilled at these kinds of stuff you see.)

But alas, Roy happened to have granted Lieutenant Hawkeye a day off the day before. In the end they got little to no information. And so, the crew decided to relax at a nearby bar after the hardworking hours of interrogating.

"Shall we call it a day?" Havoc asked, grabbing his coat.

"Yeah." Edward answered glumly and gulped down his drink. So much for getting further information on the philosopher stone. "C'mon Al."

"Yes brother." Alphonse nodded and stood up.

It was dark by the time they got out of the bar. A cold wind blew against them unexpectedly making them jump. But it was nothing compared to the shock they had received when Riza Hawkeye (or what they believed was Riza Hawkeye) walked past them, completely oblivious that they were there.

"Is that Hawkeye?" Ed breathed.

"It sure looks like it...who would've known. Pre-tty stylish there...and what looks a shopaholic too." Havoc whistled.

There Hawkeye was, clad in a white sweater and a short tan skirt with matching leather boots and gloves. Golden strands of hair rested around her neck which was clasped warmly by a long sky-blue scarf. To finish off the scene, three or four shopping bags were dangling heavily in each of her hands.

"Ehem...excuse me." Roy coughed, oh-so-suddenly. "There's something I forgot to interro-I mean do. See you tomorrow boys." He bid, running off hastily in the same direction as the trendy blond.

"Whew, can you feel the love tonight!" Havoc declared with a mischievous grin.

"Huh?" Al cocked his iron head, and stared at the smoke-loving soldier naively.

Ed however just chuckled, shaking his head at his innocent brother. "I'm sure those two can." Watching Roy from a distance as he took some shopping bags that Riza was holding.

"Feeling up to some stalking Ed?"

"Wouldn't miss it for the world."
