Rebeca's POV

She said 'not feeling well' then she will go to the comfort room? Who would buy that? She looked stunning at her party in the first place! Maybe I should do something to at least cover her up. I knew for sure that Col. Archer is suspecting now for the absence of Col. Mustang. Oh! Riza why did you got all the love and attention of all the eligible bachelors in the world?!

So where should I start?

"Hey Lt. Catalina!"

"Oh Havoc!"

"You're not with Lt. Hawkeye I see."

"Where are they?" A voice from behind interrupted our conversation.

Havoc and I saluted immediately for Colonel Archer.

"The lieutenant and the colonel? Admit that you both know something."

"We're sorry Sir but we're soldiers and not their nannies.," Havoc said.

"Is that the way you talk to a superior?" Ooh! What a short tempered man?

"We will just report on you when we got new updates Sir.," I saluted.

"Fine."

Then an aged woman came, "Oh there you are Frank! Come with me. I'll introduce you to our other family's friends. By the way, where's your future wife?"

"She's sick."

They both walked away and went to the  other table.

"So, what's the plan Havoc?"

"Let's ask Breda."

Riza's POV

"I'm hungry.," he said.

"Huh? What?" We're still here at the hill.

"You heard me right. I'm hungry. Lieutenant, would you cook for me please?"

"Bbut how? According to logic we're here at the hill if it's not obvious."

"Master's house is not that far from here, right?"

"Do you think we've got something to cook there for you?," I asked.

"Off course! The market is not that far from here."

I looked at him. "At times like this, you'd think that they're still open?"

"Ok ok. Uhmmmm? What about at Madame Christmas' place?"

"Hmmm why not!?" I agreed since it's a restaurant somehow.

He stood up and lend his hand to me, "Shall we?"

"Let's go.," I grabbed his hand.

Flashback

"Hey Mr. Mustang! Wait! Where are you going this time?," I asked while I'm running after him.

He turned around, "I'll be on a date!," he smirked.

"Date?"

"Yeah!," he continued walking.

He'll be on a date with someone. I stopped. I think he noticed that I'm no longer following him.

"Is there's something wrong?"

"None, enjoy your date with her Mr. Mustang."

"Ahhh are you sure you'll be fine there alone? I mean Teacher is out for some business and no one is there to take care and protect you."

"Don't worry! I'll be fine."

"Do you want to join me?"

"On your date with her. Don't be silly."

He held my hand and get the keys to lock the door, "Come on! Let's hurry!."

"But..."

After a ride, we made it to a place where there are alot of girls and strange guys. What's this place?

"Oh hey there young lady! You're so young to be in this kind of place. Come with me and I'll take you home." He grab my hands and insisted himself.

Where is Mr. Mustang? Where did he go? I looked around.

Then I felt that there's someone grabbing my other hand. I turned my eyes and saw him. I felt relief.

"She's my girl! Who are you? Don't touch her."

"Oh young man! I guess your parents didn't teach you how to respect huh, you son of a bitch!," the drunk man grabbed his collar.

What should I do now?

"Look who's talking! Just stay away from her!"

"Be thankful kid for being just a 'kid'." He withdraw and walked out.

Mr. Mustang stood up fixing his polo, "Tsk!"

"Are you alright?"

"Yeah! I'm sorry I worried you."

"No it's fine. It's my fault after all."

"Don't think that way, I'm the one who brought you here.," he petted my head like a baby sister. Oh! Well, I guess it's how he sees me. I'm just a little sister.

"Royboy!!!!!," a beautiful woman exclaimed out of nowhere. She jumped to Mr. Mustang.

I think she's his date.

I saw him with someone's arms. "Who is she?," I asked.

"Hi! I'm Vanessa. Nice to finally meet you!," she stated.

Mr. Mustang smiled, "She's one of my sisters."

"You're Young Miss Riza I suppose. I am Chris Mustang, and they called me here as Madame Christmas, Roy boy's poster parent. Please to meet you!," a woman said.

"It's nice to meet the two of you too.," I said politely. Royboy??

"Are you guys are dating already?"

"No no no, we're not.," we answered in unison.

They just giggled which made me blush.

"I'm sure you'll grow up to be a fine and beautiful lady someday.," Madame Christmas complimented that made me blushed even more.

"I guess you should talk to Mr. Hawkeye for her hands Royboy before that day comes. Or else she'll be taken away by someone else. Hohoho!!!," Ms. Vanessa teasingly stated.

"Hey! I thought you're on a date?."

"A date with my family.," he simply answered.
