Hello. It's been a while. Sorry took so long, I got stuck, busy, problems, conflicts and of course, prom happened. For my old readers, he said yes. Hehehe. I won't delay you further. Here's the much awaited chapter.

I don't own FMA or its characters. I only own the OCs and plot.


Another two weeks have passed and Riza more than adjusted to the craziness of it all. She didn't even need the planners or phones anymore. She had them all memorized. Daisy even heard her recite some of them in her sleep. Poor Miss Hawkeye. Thought the cook. She's so tired, she's even running through the children's schedules in her sleep! She shook her head and went along her own business.

The pranks, comebacks and other irritating remarks have also toned down along with the teasing but it never died out. Hell, that'll never happen. Roy's been busy with work lately and has been coming home late. His eldest daughter chose to have some fun with her friends and went on a week long road trip but now that she's back, she resumed her summer tasks. The boys, Edward and Alphonse have been following their schedules and excelling in their advanced classes and activities, tiring Riza but having her enjoy herself in the time being.

"Daddy, when are we going on vacation?" Alphonse asked his father cheekily.

Roy was reading the news paper at the breakfast table. "Not now, sport, daddy's busy." Roy murmured.

The little boy's dropped an expression and his older sister noticed it. "Where do you want to go?" she asked.

"Daddy said not to talk about it right now." Al replied sadly.

"Well, I'm asking you." His sister replied as she sipped her orange juice. "Can't I ask my adorable little brother where he wants to go for vacation?" She pinched his cheeks lightly.

The little boy lightened up a bit, placed his index finger on his lips and looked at the ceiling, deep in thought. His older brother on the other hand, continued to swallow mountains of blueberry pancakes and bacon. Roy was now waiting for his son's reply.

"Let's go to Drachma!" Alphonse beamed. "Then after that, we can go to Creta and have some of their really tasty crepe."

"Drachma?" Micha asked. "Sounds good. I think a change of weather would do us some good." She grinned. "I'll check our schedules and book the tickets." She smiled the proceeded with drinking her juice.

"Hey, wait." Roy put the paper down and looked at the two of them. "Who said we were going to Drachma?" he asked.

"Al did." Edward replied.

"No, he said he wants to go, not he's going." Roy replied. Two pairs of golden eyes and an onyx stare were affixed on him.

"I'm kidding. Next week, I'm free. Let's all go." He grinned.

"DAD!" the three kids yelled and threw tissues at him.

"You scared us!" Edward exclaimed.

"Yeah, dad." Micha crossed her arms and leaned back on her chair.

Roy laughed lightly. "Yeah, well, I have to go now. Maria's calling me. I'm late for my meeting." He stood and kissed his daughter on the head and messed Alphonse's hair.

"You always are." Edward mumbled.

"That's because I own the company, sport." Roy smirked.

"Well, it won't be for long." The little boy sneered. Roy gave his son The Face.

"I'm off!" Mustang announced animatedly. "Where's Miss Hawkeye?"

"Why do you ask?" Micha asked smugly. Roy gave her a flat look.

"She's giving Hayate a walk, sir." Replied Daisy from the kitchen counter.

Roy nodded, grabbed his stuff and headed out the door.

While cruising out of the village, Roy spottedhis children's babysitter, giving her pup a walk. Roy couldn't help but stare. She was in gym shorts and a hoodie, with her hair tied in a ponytail. She walked with such finesse and grace. Her head held high with pride and her eyes, cast straight ahead with gentleness but has a fierce glint to it.

Hawkeye noticed that she was being stated at and Mustang's car has come to a stop. She looked straight at the driver's window, but couldn't see him because of the tint. To her surprise, it smoothly rolled down, and revealed Mustang's face.

"Miss Hawkeye, kindly look after the children for me and get them ready. We'll go out for lunch. You should get ready too."

"Yes, sir." Riza answered.

"I'll be back at around eleven. I just have a meeting to attend." With that, the window automatically rolled up, and he sped away smoothly.

Once she got back home, she told the kids that they were to have lunch with their dad. Alphonse's eyes lit up and grew so big out of excitement. Edward was looking forward to where and what they were going to eat. They both ran upstairs to their room to pick out what to wear. Riza had nothing to do, so she just went up to her room and also decided what to wear. She learned that when Mustang said, we're going out, that meant it included her.

She opened her closet and gawked. It was filled with dresses and blouses she had never seen before. Let alone owned. Her phone rang and she read the text aloud.

"Like the dresses? Better pick one out and pix yourself up for lunch. Remember, we're going out in public." Hawkeye read. It was from none other than Micha Mustang. She must've spent quite a lot to fill her whole closet.

Riza browsed through and found a sky blue summer dress. It was age appropriate for her, and below it, there were matching shoes. She opened a drawer and it revealed accessories. She tried simple earrings and a watch that looked like a bracelet. She looked at herself in the mirror. Riza didn't even recognize herself. She looked gorgeous.

Hawkeye grabbed a purse and stuffed everything she needed inside before leaving her room. Edward and Alphonse were outside by the pool with their sister. She was taking photographs of them. The three of them certainly enjoyed it. To Riza's surprise, they were wearing Matching clothes. They were all wearing red. Hawkeye approached them.

"Hey, Riza can take our picture!" Edward pointed at her.

Micha looked to her side and smiled. "I see you liked that dress. That was one of my favorites. Glad it fits."

"Thank you for all the clothes, but it's not necessary. And may I ask, where did all my old clothes go?" Riza asked.

"They're in your other closet." Micha replied while giving her her dSLR. "Be careful with my boyfriend." She said in a straight face. "Isn't he hot?" She laughed.

Riza looked at the camera she was holding. She thought it was weird to call a camera one's boyfriend, but she decided to roll with it. "Yes. He's handsome and…" She took notice of the lens. "I love his glasses." She nodded, trying not to laugh.

"I know right!" Micha gushed. "I love guys in glasses. They're just so hot." She laughed before joining her brothers.

Riza took a few snapshots and greatly enjoyed herself. The children looked beautiful and loved their creative poses and faces. It reminded her that despite all the wealth and fame, they were just children who wanted to have fun and needed love like any other child. They had a strange way of reaching her heart.

"I'm home!"

"Daddy's home!" Alphonse exclaimed and ran all the way to his father to give him a hug.

Edward and Micha followed. Riza watched Roy lift his son into the air and give him a kiss on the cheek, mess up Ed's golden hair and give his daughter a bear hug.

"Ready for lunch?" He grinned.

"YES!" The three exclaimed in chorus.

"Al right, just let me change out of his hot suit." He walked up the stairs and the children sat down on the couch.

Riza joined them and handed Micha her boyfriend back. With her brothers sitting at either side of her, they all looked at the pictures together. They laughed and teased each other at how ridiculous they looked.

"These are going in my blog." Micha laughed. "Along with the other things I'll take pictures of today."

"Ok, let's go!" Roy exclaimed. He wore beige shorts and much to Riza's surprise, he also wore a red collared shirt.

"Hey, we're all wearing red!" Edward observed.

"Oh yeah, looks like we are." Micha agreed. "Hey, let's all get a picture before we leave."

Riza took the camera and snapped a shot.

"You should join us, Miss, Hawkeye." Roy said and gestured at the space beside him.

Hawkeye hesitantly obeyed and Matthew took their picture. "One… Two… Three… Cheese!"

They all hopped in Roy's car and they drove away. "So, where do you kids want to eat?" Roy asked.

"I don't know." Micha replied distractedly as she went through the photos again. "As long as we eat! I'm hungry."

"What about Uncle Maes's family restaurant? You know, the one they own." Alphonse suggested.

"That's a good idea, sport. Everyone good with that?"
"Yeah!" The three kids cheered happily.
