A/N: Hi!!! Thank you to everyone who's reviewed! Sorry that I don't post your names on here, I probably will next time. And now I'm gonna try to reply my reviews, it's not that I'm not appreciative of your thoughts, just lacked time lately. Anddd Thank you guys for like 1300 hits! Not sure if that's considered alot or not, I just didn't think I'd get that many yet haha. By the by, I am so so so so soooo sorry!!! I shouldn't blame school for this. So I'll blame my algebra teacher once again (though she has been merciful lately). Didn't have alot of free time lately and I apologize, and volleyball season is starting in January!! I love volleyball! Anyways, I hope this chapter's good enough for you guys! I'm going to try something different and kinda go into other's POV.

Oh...And for this fanfic, Elysia/Ed's birthday is gonna be in December. Because if you saw the episode when it was Ed's birthday and Elysia was born, blah, blah, blah, it was snowing, alot. So I say it's in December! Mwuahaha! Now then, enough babbling, start reading!

Disclaimr: Sigh, no I do not own FMA or Roy for any matter, but I do own Chris!

Chris's POV

Home. That's where I'm supposedly going now. Roy Mustang's home is now being shared with me. Why? Who knows. These past few days have been unbelievable. Everything this past few days has been pure luck! Survived my abusive father. Luck. Found by one of Amestris' elite snipers. Luck. Adopted by the General Roy Mustang, and met the Elric brothers. Wow. I guess it's luck. Though, in the past without bad luck I wouldn't have any type of luck at all. What made me so lucky? Maes even told me that convincing Roy to adopt me was a pure miracle itself. Now I get to live in the general's mansion, or what Ed would say, the smug General Bastard's oversized cardboard box. I get the feeling Ed and Roy don't get along...

I sat in the back seat glancing out of the window, watching scenery go by while 'my daddy' and Maes were talking. Didn't exactly catch what they were talking about, military business or something like that.

I let out a big sigh as a fiddled with Riza's slingshot in my hand. This thing has stuck with me all day since she gave it to me. Even though it may have caused some lesser injuries to Roy and Jean today... But that's a different story! As long as Roy doesn't take it away from me and go into the strict-terminator-father mode then I'm good. With a plus that I have to get Roy and Riza together, I hope they do. Riza would be a great mom.

We pulled up to Roy's house-mansion. Maes opened the car door for me as I jumped out. "Aren't you just excited?!" Maes asked me enthusiastically. "I guess.."I replied back as I looked up at the enormous house. I just now took the time to realize it. It was a big white house, with those old detailed styles on the side. Not much to say, but wow was it huge.

Maes also told me it'd be a good idea to start 'bonding' with Roy.

Ick.

The thought of me actually doing some father-son bonding and enjoying it started to make me feel mentally ill. Pretending to like something just to make your dad happy was my thought of 'bonding'.

We all entered the into the house, or should I say mansion, and Maes said "Now Roy, I'll be back in a few hours to pick up Chris. I need him to help me...You know...With some stuff.."

Roy shrugged, "Sure, suit yourself. Although should I even ask what you two are planning?" He raised a brow and gave us a suspicious look. I myself didn't like that look.

Might as well speak up. "I was going to help plan out a surprise for Elysia." Even though we were really meeting up with the others and were planning out some of the 'Ograw' ideas for tomorrow.

Roy sighed "Alright then..."

Maes started making his way to the door. "Okay, well...Until then," He quickly darted right out the door, "See ya!"

Then there was silence. I swear I could hear crickets chirping.

Riiiiing. Riiiiiing. Riiiiiing.

So much for silence. Roy ran from the entry way and went through an arch to the dining room, followed by the kitchen. The large, very nice kitchen.

"Hello?...Vironica?...Yes I remember...Oh?..You..What?" He choked out the last words in disbelief and continued, "That's fine...Bye..." He hung up the phone and I heard him curse under his breath.

He sat down by the small bar/counter and sighed.

I walked over and sat by him, "Who was that?..."

"Mahexgirfriend..."

"You're talking too fast, and you're mumbling. Oooo was it your girlfriend??" Hopefully now his ex-girlfriend.

"Yes...Well..My latest ex-girlfriend" Yes!

"Oh...I'm sorry for your loss..." Not. I sounded like I was at some funeral, but as long as he bought the act I don't care.

He gave a light smile and ruffled the top of my head a little. I hate it when people do that. They think just because I'm eight, it seems cute.

Silence once again...

"I'm hungry."

Well...Nevermind the silence. I really was hungry.

Roy gave me a blank stare, "You're what?"

"Hungry. It's when you want foo-"

"Ugh, I know what hungry is! Well what do you want to eat?"

"I dunno."

"Well? Just pick something! Anything!" I can tell he was getting frustrated. This parenting thing might be tough for him, but annoying him is fun!

"Uhh...A grilled cheese sandwich!" I've only ate those when my mom was still alive.

He raised a brow. "Grilled cheese?"

"No chopped liver...Of course grilled cheese! Don't tell me you don't know how to make it."

He pondered for a moment, "Well it has been awhile since I made that," he shrugged, "But I'll try I guess..." Was the guy on weed or something? I don't mean to be mean, but grilled cheese. That pretty much explains itself!

A loaf of bread, quarter a block of cheese, and a small kitchen fire later, I finally got my grilled cheese sandwich. Plus, now I know how to use a fire extinguisher! Roy kinda seemed upset after that small mishap.

Roy sighed and leaned back into the chair. "Never again.." he groaned.

"It turned out good though! You wanna try it?" I broke off a piece and handed it to him. He popped it into his mouth and grinned, "It's actually pretty good, it's silly to think that it took that many tries just to make a small sandwich." He laughed and I soon joined in. I guess this is what bonding is. I thought I'd be worse, but I'm actually enjoying it.

I glanced over at the clock while finishing up my sandwich. "Uhh, isn't Maes suppose to be here soon?"

Roy looked at the clock too. "Yes he is."He nervously stratched the back of his head. "I didn't realize it would take a few hours just to make one sandwich...C'mon, I'll show you your room before you head off. It's upstairs."

He got up and walked out of the room as I trailed not to far behind him. We went through another doorway through the other end of the kitchen. This room appeared to be somewhat similar to a ballroom. Basically a place to hold social events or parties. In here, was a large, marble staircase. I was at awe as I saw it, but nevertheless continued to follow behind Roy up the stairs.

Roy opened one of the doors at the end of east hallway and entered my room, "Well, I didn't have a whole lot of time preparing it for you. It's one of my guest bedrooms." I made my way through the door and my jaw immediantly dropped. It wasn't very big, or too small. I actually have my own room! Dark blue covered all around the walls. The room had an off-white carpet and a large window let the moonlight shine into the room. There was a twin sized bed, a desk by the window, a dresser, and some empty shelves and other storage places, waiting to be filled with my belongings. "There's also the bathroom across the hall. My room is right next to the bathroom, so if there's any monsters under your bed or whatever I'll be there if you need anything."

"Wow..."

Roy chuckled, "Well I guess I'm glad you actually like it."

Bang. Bang. Bang.

Just then we heard someone banging on the door from downstairs, and dang whoever it was, he was loud! Roy's face suddenly became worried. I alaughed to myself, he didn't realize who it was. I on the otherhand, knew right away, but I'll play along. Obviously he thought someone was in trouble, this should be amusing. Roy and I ran down the stairs where the noise continued, followed by a faint "ROY!!! LET ME IN ALREADY!"

Roy rushed to the door to see who was on the other side. He opened it, and was followed by a thud. Whoever it was leaned against the door, then fell when the door opened. We looked down to see who had fallen...

His face popped up "Finally! Thought you would never let me in!" Maes Hughes quickly jumped up from the ground and brushed off some dirt from his shoulder.

"HUGHES!!!"

"Drop the formalities Roy, I don't see what you're so upset about..." I sighed, the two of them are best friends, yet they always seem to argue about the dumbest things.

"I thought that...You...Were..." Roy was so frustrated, he couldn't find what words to use.

"He thought you were a person in desperate help." I finished. Maes just laughed. He obviously was amused. Who wouldn't be? Maes and Roy had a small conversation going on. I didn't know what they were mainly talking about. I was paying attention, probably just random things I guess.

A few moments later I was in Maes's car. We were on our way to discuss some official Ograw business. Maes said I'm somehow part of the key to getting Roy and Riza together. Haha, I feel so important! "So, are we meeting at your house or what?" I asked, where else would we meet?

"Nope. Jean and the others said they found a place to meet at. So I let them take care of that this time." Maes gave a small chuckle. I dreaded to see where they picked. I figured it was a place way outta line.

We pulled up to a place called 'Blue Moon'. Blue Moon? Where have a heard that before? I traced back through the memories in my head...Oh yeah! My father used to go the Blue Moon. It served somewhat as an inn, so if my father was really hung over, he would just stay there.Oh, and it was a bar. Wait a minute, a bar?!? Why of all places did they pick a bar?!? Oh well, it's not gonna hurt anything I suppose.

Maes opened the door and we both stepped in. I scanned the place trying to find where the group was. "Hey, there they are!" Maes motioned over to a table right next to the bar. The bartender gave us a welcoming smile.

"Hiya guys, sorry we're late." Maes sat down at their somewhat long table, and I took a seat right next to him.

"Ohh it don't matterrr if yer late! How 'bout 'nother round of beer, ehh?" Jean's speech was slurred as he held one -out of twelve- of his empty beer glasses up.

Ed stood from his seat and slammed his fist to the table, "Put a sock in it already, Havoc! We didn't come here to watch you become drunk all night! Earlier you even pulled your pants down!"

"He's right Jean, I'm cuttin' ya off!" Said the female bartender, clenching her teeth. She walked up to our table making her statement loud and clear for him. For someone who looked so kind earlier, could really be frightening when needed!

"Ohh Charlotte! Dun be like that darlin!" He put his arm around her shoulder and held his glass high.

Charlotte shoved his arm off and pulled away his glass. "I. Am. Cutting. You. Off." She took a tray and placed all the twelve glasses on, then walked behind the bar once again.

"But mah people need meee!" Jean whaled as he threw his arms into the air.

"Calm down there, Jean. We don't need you like this!" Breda made him sit back down.

"But mah people! They want me!" He rested his head down on the table, and said nothing more.

"Well...Now that that matter's over, should we get started?" Maes suggested. Everyone, except Jean, nodded. "Alright now, any ideas in mind? C'mon people, you didn't think I'd make up the plan all by myself, did you?"

"Actually we did think you'd plan it all." Al said. Everyone else nodded in unison. This is gonna be a long night.

Ed casually leaned back into his chair, "Hmm...Here's something. Riza doesn't like the fact that the bastard procrastinates like there's no tomorrow!"

"We can't change that, it's physically impossible." Breda said. Kain nodded in agreement.

"What's...Procrastinate?" I asked. Not my fault I didn't know.

"Procrastinate, verb. To defer action; dely." Falman stated.

"Thank you human dictionary." Breda said sarcastically. "But seriously, this is a pretty hard goal we're asking for here, right?"

"Juss have the chief give'er a ring with uh big ol' fat diamond smacked on teh top." Jean said.

"Now, we can't talk about the wedding yet." Maes pointed to himself. "That's my job to plan."

"So then why do youu get teh funnn job?" Jean countered.

As the two argued about their little dilemma. I gazed blankly out the window. My eyes widened at what I saw, and just when I thought nothing could possibly get any worse!

Roy and some girl. Across the street at the cafe. Probably on some date. Grrr stupid playboy can't get enough, huh?

Ed noticed me eyeing something out the window, he looked in the same direction and you can just see the anger rising in his eyes.

I think a vein just popped.

"What the hell?! THE DAMN BASTARD GOT HIMSELF A LAST-MINUTE DATE?! THAT LOUSY PLAYBOY CAN'T GET ENOUGH CAN HE???"

"This isn't good..." I mumbled

"Damn right this isn't good!" Ed agreed

"Brother, what are you talking about?" Al asked.

"Wait, you're not talking about Roy are you? I could just tell by talking to him tonight that his girlfriend dumped him." Maes said.

"Ha! Then he must've gotten busy because looks like she changed her mind!" Everyone then took a look outside.

"Shit."

"Now what're we gonna do??" Kain suddenly started thinking of all the worse-case scenerios. "What if he and Riza get together, but he's caught two-timing her? Or what if he leaves Riza at the alter for one of the maids of honor? And Roy can't keep a commitment the rest of his life can he???"

"Here's what we're not gonna do, we're not gonna panic got it?" I snapped. I didn't want this whole thing to screw up just because Roy's still screwing around with other women!

"That's right!" Maes slammed his fist to the table, "We are not gonna let this little mishap mess this up."

Jean stood up from his chair. "Because WE. ARE. OGRAW!!!"

"Right! Now we could have-" Maes was cut off as he saw someone enter through the door. Everyone looked over, all shocked. It was Riza! She walked over to the bar and started talking with Charlotte. Either she's an alcoholic drinker that none of us had known about, or Charlotte was a friend of hers. I'd go with the second one, but who knows.

Maes had a grin from ear to ear. Oh boy.

"Riza? Is that you?" Maes boomed throughout the bar.

Riza looked over and blinked surprisingly.

"Come on over here! Wow this is an unexpected surprise!" He chuckled.

"Hey Riza, hows you dooin?" Jean was still drunk. Good thing Charlotte cut him off.

"Hi Lieutenant." Al greeted.

Riza raised a brow, "What are you all doing here?" Riza asked suspiciously.

"Heh, It's actually a funny story." Ed nervously stratched the back of his head. "And a long one I might add..." Kain added.

"We're just all here having a good time! The old gang, plus Chris, minus Roy." Breda exclaimed as he motioned his hand toward all of us.

Riza wondered, "Now that you mention it, where is Roy?"

"Well, he's right across the street," Ed pointed out the window, "With a date."

"Oh... I was suppose to ask him something whenever I got the chance, but I'll just wait till tomorrow" Riza mumbled.

Maes stood up from his seat. "What're you talking about? Roy is with another woman! Are you gonna take that???" He yelled. Heh, Maes...Gotta love'em.

"What's that suppose to mean, Hughes?" Her anger was starting to reach it's boiling point. You can tell by the harsh edge in her voice.

"What he's saying is that, are you gonna let another bitch steal your man?" Breda questioned.

Riza crossed her arms "He's not my man."

"Okay so you're get let another woman waltz right in and take'em?" Ed joined in. This'll be interesting...

"What am I suppose to do about it? The General can date whomever he wants."

Maes started, "Set him straight! Go in there and ask him whatever you were gonna ask him and if his date gets in the way..."
"Bitch slap'er...Or pull out your shotgun, whatever works." Ed finished. Everyone else at the table nodded and agreed, trying to push Riza to going to Roy.

Jean got up and put his arm around Riza, "Err if 'nothin goes 'ell, you can always come to meh."

In the blink of an eye, Riza pulled her gun out of nowhere and it was under Jean's jaw.

"You were saying?" She said calmly.

He immediantly pulled his arm away and sat back down. "So are you going over there or what?" I asked. She seemed surprised that I was the one to say that. She smirked and nodded. "Alright, I'm gonna go over there, and I'm gonna ask him what I was gonna ask him!" She immediantly started towards the door.

"Five bucks says she'll forget by the time she gets there." Breda is now starting another betting pool.

One thing's for sure. Riza was jealous over Roy's date. This'll make Ograw go alot smoother.
