Burnout

Riza Hawkeye has been loyal to her Colonel since he was her fathers apprentice. Though both have feelings for each other, neither of them is brave enough to admit it.

One night, at a work party, they both have too much to drink. One thing leads to another, and then the morning comes and they are in each other's arms.

Desperate to keep that night a secret from their peers, they vow never to speak of it again.

A few weeks later, Riza finds out that she's pregnant!...with the Colonels baby. She can't tell Roy, or anyone, so she packs up and moves South secretly.

Roy is devastated at Riza's sudden departure. He spend all of his extra time on tracking down his Queen. But Riza has hidden well, and Roy can't find her.

He falls into a deep depression.

"Riza, Roy tried to kill himself.
