Roy's POV:

"What do you want from me?" I ask.

"Oh, just where Riza is staying. That's all." replies Envy.

They've all changed somehow. They aren't in their original bodies, yet I know who's who.

"Never." I reply.

"Why is that? It's not like she loves you. She left you for a whole year with no contact, no note, no explanation. That's a real blow to a mans dignity."

"She had a reason, you bitch!"

"Oh, she did? Then, please, enlighten us." Envy replied.

"I-she-uh-we-" I started.

I'm not giving up the identity of our daughter.

"Ha! I knew it. Roy Mustang, Mr. Flame Alchemist, Youngest Colonel in the military; how does it feel to be rejected by your soulmate?"

Dammit. That hurt. I look down at Riza and Kallie. Both of their eyes are wide with fear.

"I know she had her reasons. I love and trust her enough to make the right decisions, and if that was moving away, then so be it. Anything to make her happy." I state.

She smiles at me.

"Ok, ok. Jeez." says Envy.

Lust reaches her hand out and pulls him aside.

"Listen, Roy, we know that Riza was here recently. Gluttony can smell her."

"Oh, yes, and another officer, and- wait is that a- no, it couldn't be- a baby?"

Shit.

"Oh, a baby? Tell me, Roy, who's baby was it?"

"Just some officer's kid. This baby is of no importance to you."

"Well, Gluttony, tell the Colonel what else you can smell." She says, batting her eyelashes at me.

*Sniff*

"I can smell a lady, a man, and a baby; in this room."

No. Nonononononono!

I reach up, and they see my gloves hand. They all gasp.

"How many times do I have to kill you this time?" I ask.

Riza's POV:

"What do you want from me?" Roy asks.

"Oh, just where Riza is staying. That's all." replies Envy.

I can't see them from behind the bed, but they sound exactly the same as the last time we met.

"Never." He replies.

"Why is that? It's not like she loves you. She left you for a whole year with no contact, no note, no explanation. That's a real blow to a mans dignity."

"She had a reason, you bitch!" He shouts.

"Oh, she did? Then, please, enlighten us." Envy replied.

"I-she-uh-we-" he starts.

"Ha! I knew it. Roy Mustang, Mr. Flame Alchemist, Youngest Colonel in the military; how does it feel to be rejected by your soulmate?"

Oh no. That was what they thought? Then again, that's what everyone thought.

"I know she had her reasons. I love and trust her enough to make the right decisions, and if that was moving away, then so be it. Anything to make her happy." he states.

That was so beautiful. I see him look down at me and I give him a faint smile.

"Ok, ok. Jeez." says Envy.

Lust reaches her hand out and pulls him aside.

"Listen, Roy, we know that Riza was here recently. Gluttony can smell her."

Dammit. I forgot about Gluttony's sense of smell.

"Oh, yes, and another officer, and- wait is that a- no, it couldn't be- a baby?"

Shit.

"Oh, a baby? Tell me, Roy, who's baby was it?"

Oh god.

"Just some officer's kid. This baby is of no importance to you." He retorts.

"Well, Gluttony, tell the Colonel what else you can smell." She says like the slit she is.

*Sniff*

"I can smell a lady, a man, and a baby; in this room."

Crap. They know we're here.

All of a sudden he reaches up and shows off his Flame Alchemy gloves, finger in their position.

"How many times do I have to kill you this time?" He snarls.
