cHAPTER 11: Costume Party

It's been weeks since the revealment of Riza secret crush. Both Riza and Roy never spoke of it. Riza went on with her life as if it never happened. But it still bothered Roy. How could he be so blind? All this time, they were the closest of partners, and yet he never thought of Riza having feelings for him.

It felt uncomfortable. He wasn't used to it.

"Lance.."

Roy startingly turned around. It was Riza.

"COme on, Lance, you have to dress up for your costume." Riza stated.

Roy couldn't look at her more than 5 seconds straight. Her feelings towards him haunts him. "Wait? What costume?"

"You know, the costume for Elicia's costume party. You picked out yourself, remember?"

"I did?"

"Yeah."

((Flashback))

Riza took out a costume. "Oh, Lance, how about this one, it looks so cute!"

Roy answered dazily still lost in thought. "Yeah, sure, whatever..."

"OKay."

((End of Flashback))

ROy mentally slapped himself.

"Well, come on, hurry and change. Your uncle really wnats you to come to your cousin's party." Riza said abruptly.

"WHat costume did you get for me anyway?"

Riza smiled. "You should know. You picked it yourself."

Riza got out of the taxi. She didn't wear much with much enthusiasm. She just wore a cat ears headband. "Come on, Lance, get out of the car."

"No.." Roy muttered.

"Come on, the taxi driver has to go, now," Riza said.

"NO." Roy said in a louder tone.

"Grr.." Riza grabbed Roy by the legs and started pulling him out of the taxi. "Get- out - NOW!"

"Nooooooooooooooo..." Roy tried to hold on to the handle, but his hands slipped. Then, he tried to grip his nails onto the car seat, but Riza was pulling him too hard. Roy was getting draggged out of the car and made stray claw marks on the seats. 'God, help me..' Roy whimpered.

(Ding Dong)

Roy clutched onto Riza's hand. 'Hughes is going to kill me.' Roy thought.

"I'll get it.." Said a muffled voice of Gracia through the door.

"N-no honey! I'll get it!" retorted a comic voice.

Hughes, as a pirate, opened the door to see Riza and chibi Roy.

Hughes stared at Roy's ridiculous outfit. He tried to keep a serious look. "Nice M&M candy costume, Ro-- I mean Lance."

Lance glared.

"Hello, Hughes," greeted Riza. "Where's the birthday girl?" She asked holding up a present.

"Oh, she's outside in the back with her other friends!" Hughes said. "Help yourself to whatever you need and put your gift on the picnic table out on the back."

Riza nodded and headed inside. "Come on, Lance."

Before Roy could proceed with Riza, Hughes stopped him. "No, Roy, let's talk for a moment."

Roy nodded.

Hughes led little Roy to his room. As soon as he shut the door, he bursted out laughing. "AHAHAHAHA OHOHO AAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAA YOU'RE DRESSED UP AS AN M&M! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!"

"Shut up, HUGHES! Did you want to talk to me or not?" Roy yelled."BESIDES! At least I'm not wearing a stupid pirate costume!"

Hughe stsopped laughing. "Ah, yes. Roy, it's been months and the Fuhrer are suspicious about your whereabouts. It seems I still haven't found a cure about your youth." He said seriously."Fortunately, Hawkeye is unaware about their suspicions."

"But I wouldn't worry just yet," Hughes said.

"I know now..." Roy said.

"Huh?"

"I figured out about Riza... and her feelings towards me."

Hughes chuckled. "Heh.. it took you a while to figure it out, eh?"

"Yeah..."

Hughes smirked.

Gracia interrupted the moment by coming in the room. "Honey, there you are! Elicia is doing the birthday cake already!" Roy realized Gracia was wearing a witch costume.

"Uh, okay, honey!" Hughes said.

Gracia smiled as she looked at Roy. "And who is this? I don't think I recognize you as Elicia's friends!"

Hughes came up with an explanation. "W-well.. you see... he's my nephew. My brother's son."

"You mean THAT brother?"

"Y-yeah.."

Gracia gave Hughes a look. "But... I thought THAT brother didn't have any children.."

"He was recently adopted!" Hughes said quickly.

Gracia gasped. "Oh, my! I'm terribly sorry.. uuh..."

"Lance.." Hughes said.

"Oh, that's a nice name."

"Come on LANCE, let's go see your cousin..." Hughes dragged Roy out of the room. "HONEY! GET THE CAMERA!"

Hughes and Roy left Gracia in the room by herself. "Huh... Lance.."
