Short Recap:

Mustang wrecked into Fuery… again, and cut his head. Havoc left with Mustang's letter without Hughes seeing him. Hughes knows ALL, and Black Hayate keeps running off.

Riza looked up and spotted Roy staring at her from the window at one of the higher levels of the building. She smirked seeing her Colonel fall backwards in his chair. Riza looked down at her arms where her dog was squirming around. Riza became serious.

"Black Hayate; if you keep up this behavior of disappearing, tomorrow I'll have you on a leash." She said in a stern tone. Her dog obediently stopped moving and remained calm in her arms. Just then, Falman approached her.

"Lieutenant Hawkeye, Colonel Mustang ordered me to make sure that you don't shoot your dog." He saluted her. Riza nodded her head and began walking back inside.

Riza slowly stepped into the office. She spotted ashes on the floor and a few shards of burnt wood left over. Breda and Fuery were on their knees scrubbing the now black floor; Roy was no where to be seen. Riza sighed heavily and stepped over the mess and towards her desk. She looked down at its emptiness.

Maes walked into the room. "Roy I demand to know… where's Roy?" he asked looking around the room. Riza ignored him and looked down at the men working on the floor. "Would anyone happen know where Lieutenant Havoc is?" Riza questioned. Fuery shrugged his shoulders and continued scrubbing. Riza glared at Breda.

"Don't look at me! I was ordered to clean up the Colonel's mess, not babysit." Breda whined.

Hughes snapped his fingers. "I've got it! That sneaky friend of mine things he can pull a fast one on me. I'll show him." he called out and marched out of the room.

"Why do I always find myself with nothing better to do than to write some letter to some stranger I've never met?" Riza questioned herself.

(Downstairs)

"Ah-HA!!! I knew that your disappearance had something to do with Mustang!" Maes laughed psychotically while holding Havoc by the collar.

Havoc chewed on a cigarette. "Sir, I think you've finally lost it." Havoc said calmly. "Maybe it would be better if you found yourself a new hobby; maybe less interfering with the Colonel's life, or knitting, or even something else. Just not grabbing people's collars and assuming I'm doing anything for Mustang." Havoc suggested. Maes put him down on the ground and rubbed the back of his neck.

"Maybe you're right. I guess I am being a little harsh on him. But then again, I made myself a mission to do involving some papers, and two people, and I will NOT leave until I have succeeded." Hughes smiled proudly and walked off confidentially.

Havoc turned around and found Mustang sitting behind him on the stairs with ashes all over his pants.

"Did you deliver the letter?" he muttered to Havoc without looking up.

"Yes sir. I also think that Hughes has something to do with your letters."

"Me two, but I haven't got the foggiest idea what it is."

"Sir, Hughes was looking for you." A feminine voice interrupted behind Roy. I sent Falman out to help clean up your mess and pick up any paperwork needed. Everyone is hard at work, and as for me, I'm taking a short lunch break." Riza saluted them, and walked off.

"Maybe we should all take a break." Mustang mumbled.

(Down the street)

Riza walked out off of military grounds and onto the street. Little did she know, she was being followed.

Riza continued walking. She could hear faint sounds of footsteps, but a lot of people were on the sidewalks, so she didn't mind. Riza glanced behind her. A shadow raced behind a building. She continued walking; now reaching for her weapon. Riza quickly turned around with her gun in shooting position, just to find that no one was there. Cautiously, she turned back around and walked extra quietly to hear the footsteps behind her. Riza reached into her coat pocket and pulled out a small make-up mirror. She opened it and noticed the shine of the reflection of the mirror, as the sun bounced off of two sets of glass. Riza slowly put away her mirror, pulled out her hand gun, and fired shots without warning.

"Whoa! You really do have Hawkeyes!" A cheery yet scared voice called from behind her. Riza turned around to face Hughes. "Well, it looks like I'm going to need some new glasses. Boy, if it weren't for these shielding my eyes, I would've been a goner!" he laughed taking off his shattered glasses. Riza lowered her gun and apologized.

"What were you doing following me?" she questioned while walking alongside Hughes.

Maes stayed quiet and shoved his hands in his pockets. "Well, I was actually hoping that you would be going to that pen pal place. You see, I want to find out if my pen pal has gotten my pictures of Elisia yet. I could show you a few if you"

"No thank you." Riza cut in.

"So… do you ever plan to find out who your pen pal is?" Hughes asked curiously.

Riza stopped walking. "We're here." She announced. Riza turned and stepped into the pen pal headquarters. Hughes mentally slapped himself and followed Riza.

"Would you happen to know if Farm delivered a letter yet?" Riza asked cautiously. The old woman smiled.

"It's funny how you and your pen pal get letters delivered Ms. Rhino. Oh, Mr. 'Super dad' I presume. Your pen pal also replied." The old woman behind the desk said reaching down into two boxes. She pulled out both letters and handed it to them. "Have a nice day you two!" she called out as Hughes and Hawkeye left the building.

As soon as they stepped out, Hughes tore open his envelope like a wild animal. Several pictures fell out.

"I guess your pen pal doesn't seem to like your daughter." Riza smirked jokingly. Hughes frowned and picked up the pictures. Within seconds, his face lit up.

"These aren't of MY Elisia! After all, no one could hate such an angel of a daughter I have. These are baby pictures of Edward Elric as a kid! Let's see. Now I MUST read my letter!" he shouted excitedly shoving the pictures of baby Ed in Riza's face. Hughes unfolded his letter and squinted. He'd forgotten that Riza had cracked his glasses. Hughes had his face in the letter and began attempting to read.

This was the perfect time for an escape. If only she knew alchemy, this would be so much easier. Riza carefully pocketed her envelope and moved one foot at a time away from Hughes. Once about ten feet away, she darted off and headed back to military headquarters.

She stopped at the entrance of her work to open her envelope. Black Hayate appeared out of nowhere and began jumping in the air trying to snatch it from her. Riza glared at her dog and obediently, he sat down and wagged his tail.

"Good boy. If only I could make the Colonel do that." Riza laughed to herself and pulled out a pocket knife to open her envelope. Once the paper within was out, Black Hayate had a chance to strike. He leaped high into the air and bit the envelope tearing it out of her hands soon taking off towards the trees.

"Come back here!" Riza called out chasing after her dog. Havoc was sitting down under the tree with a cigarette in his mouth trying to imagine what Armstrongs' family was like. The next thing he knew, a flash of black leaped into his lap and whined as footsteps approached him.

"Have a nice break Lieutenant?" Havoc asked. Riza rolled her eyes and smashed her letter inside her pocket before kneeling down to rip the envelope out of her dogs' powerful jaws. Black Hayate growled loudly and dug his nails into Havocs' leg for a better grip.

"Get him off me!" Havoc howled in pain. Riza let go of the envelope, pulled out her gun, and fired two shots in the air. It silenced everyone giving Riza the chance to take back the soggy envelope. She stood up and marched off inside without another word.

She walked into the office and inspected the room. Only the Colonel remained asleep in his new chair as the only one in the office. Hawkeye sighed in relief. She pulled out her crumpled letter and read it at her clean desk.

"Dear Rhino, What's your ranking? I too carry a gun at all times. Scratch that. I have a weapon with me at all times. Of course I am a male though not to say that there's anything wrong with gender. I have no need for pets. I treat my friends' dog as if it were my own. I can't exactly tell you what I've told the dog to do because if my friend walks in, she'd probably shoot me without hesitation. People respect me anyways because of my ranking. If they don't respect me, then I can 'fire' them. Yes I do admit that I'm lazy, but maybe I could perhaps teach your boss a thing or two. Sorry. My childhood dream is personal just as your childhood was although mine led me to the dreaded war in Ishbal, but that's a completely different story. I see we share another thing in common Rhino. I met my subordinate as a child also. She owns the dog that I've been mentioning in fact. You should really get to know her sometime. I have a massive headache right now so sorry if my handwriting is a bit sloppy. Signed Farm. P.S. Please reply soon!"

Riza looked at her empty desk. She stood up and tiptoed over to the Colonels' desk for a pen. He must have something conveniently there within the mess. Riza flipped over a sheet of paper to make sure it was empty. She noticed a black pen tucked behind the Colonels' ear. She placed her middle finger on her thumb and quickly flicked it off Mustangs' ear. The pen went flying in the air and out the window behind Roys' desk. Rizas' jaw dropped. How could she have not seen the window was open?

There was only one other writing utensil in sight. It was a chewed up pencil that lie on the floor. Frowning, she knew it was her only option for now. Riza hesitantly picked it up off of the floor and walked over with her paper towards her desk.

*"Dear Farm, it's against all things I stand by to tell you my ranking. Nothing at all is wrong with gender. Your friend sounds very strict. I'm sure that she wouldn't shoot you, especially when she has a dog. My dog gets frightened when I shoot because it knows that he did badly, or something is going on. By the way, I would gladly meet your subordinate/childhood friend. We might get along just as you and I have as pen pals I'm pretty sure that no one can teach my 'boss' not to be lazy. He's asleep right now and his desk is cluttered, but then again, this paper was conveniently there. You were in Ishbal? What did you do there? I was in Ishbal too. I'd like to get off the subject once you answer my question though. Bloody battle. I hope you feel better and put lots of ice on your head. Have a nice day Farm. From Rhino." Riza finished off her letter.

Riza looked around at Roys' desk searching for an envelope.

"Sir, would you happen to have an envelope in that cluttered mess of yours?" she asked politely. Roys' eyes shot open.

"Is something due? Did I not turn in my work on time?" he asked frantically searching for an envelope. Riza looked at him puzzled.

"Sir? I just need an envelope." Riza stated. Roy looked up at her with an envelope in his hand.

"Oh. Here's one." he chuckled. Riza rushed over and took it from him. She carefully folded her letter and inserted it into the envelope and with the chewed up pencil, she wrote 'Farm from Rhino' on it.

"Sir, have you seen Fuery by any chance?" she questioned him standing up.

"Sorry, I haven't. I guess it's just you and me here for now." He shrugged his shoulders. Roy glanced at the door noticing a head peak in.

"Sorry colonel." Fuery apologized. Riza shoved the envelope in his face.

"Please?" she asked quietly. Fuery hesitantly took the letter and walked right back out.

"Writing love-letters Lieutenant?" Roy asked from his desk.

Riza blushed. "No. Actually, it's"

"Hey guys! How are you two today! Roy, I need to speak with you in privacy." Hughes burst in. He waved his hand shooing Riza away. Riza stood up and rolled her eyes before stepping out of the office.

"So Roy. Listen, I'm going to get right down to what I came here for." He slammed his hands on the desk causing Roy to jolt upward.

"Your letter." He said.

"Why do you want my letter?" Mustang asked and turned to look out the window.

"No that's not it! I want to know who has been delivering your letter out. Obviously you're stuck here, and I'm curious to who's been your servant?" Hughes questioned and leaned in for an answer. Roy shrugged his shoulders still looking out the window.

Hughes looked out and spotted Havoc, Breda, and Falman taking a short break outside near the trees. Hughes smirked.

"Never mind. I've got my culprits. Leave it up to the man in charge of investigations department and he'll find out." Hughes mumbled. He folded his hands behind his back and marched out of the room.

Mustang laughed to himself. "Tomorrow I'll go pick up the letter myself. Maybe that'll throw Hughes off." He thought.

The day ended sooner then anyone had expected. The sun set quickly and everyone was at home in the comfort of their houses. The night soon fell upon them and through their hectic day, everyone was at peace for a few hours. Little did anyone know; that tomorrow would bring even more chaos then the previous day. Their world was going to 'unfold.'

Roy Mustang woke up lazily and slumped out of bed. He scratched the back of his head and quickly threw on his military uniform. He yawned as he left out the door and had completely forgotten what he'd waken up this early for.

Mustang moved slowly down the streets and counted the houses he passed. "That's sure a funny looking house." He thought to himself walking a few feet past it. He stopped and walked backwards with his hands in his pockets looking at the odd house. Roy looked at his hand. Black ink was scribbled all over it. Roy moved his hand in circles attempting to read the strange markings on his skin.

"Don't forget to pick up letter b4 Hughes reaches it." Roy read. He looked at his arm and then to the building. A little light bulb flashed above his head as he quickly walked into the shop.

"My, my, you're here early." The old woman behind the desk smiled and sipped a cup of coffee. She adjusted her glasses and pulled out the letter labeled "Farm from Rhino."

"Here you go. Enjoy your day." She handed him the envelope. Roy took it and sighed in relief. "You too ma'am. Goodbye." Roy thanked and walked off.

On his way to work, Mustang opened his letter and read it.

(if you need to see the letter, look for the *)

Roy walked into his office after the many steps and quickly found a pencil on his Lieutenant's desk. It was chewed up, but he didn't mind. It looked oddly familiar though.

Roy pulled out a clean sheet of paper.

He scratched the paper with his pencil and began his sentences.

"Dear Rhino, my friend is not that strict, and yes, I commanded her to shoot me if I ever go badly. She has my permission. I'll show you her someday. She's an awesome person, and I really do think that you two would become friends. My desk is pretty cluttered too, so don't mind your boss. He probably has too much work to do. Yes, I was in Ishbal. Actually, I'd rather not talk about it anymore as do you. My head is feeling okay. My work is rather interesting. Yesterday was hectic. My best friend is trying to find out who's delivering my letters. I hope today goes out well. I look forward to your next letter. Signed Farm." Roy smirked. "I'll deliver this later. Maybe Havoc can deliver it after all." He thought to himself and folded his hands waiting for his subordinates to arrive.
