A/N: Alrighty, here's the next wonderful chapter! A huge thanks to everyone who reviewed! I love each and every one of them! They inspire me to finish each chapter as fast as I can! (And I'm using a lot of exclamation points! Yay!)

What happened last time:Winry told Ed about the Mustang+Hawkeye plan, Lanfan tells Winry about Ling's hair episode (and invites her to Xing), Lanfan warns Ling about operation MLFILWL, Mei and Al are about to start operation MLFILWL, Mustang makes Havoc get rid of all his paperwork, Mustang and Hawkeye go out for lunch, Mustang's gang pass notes and go get donuts.

Go back and read that if you get confused in the beginning. Enjoy!

Dear Winry,

Really? I don't know, Hawkeye is pretty nice (and kinda scary). Are you sure you want pair her with a jerk like Mustang? Just saying.

White Kogiarashi? I think he chose that to specifically go with Black Hayate.

So… Are those bastards still bothering you? Cuz I swear I'll kill them.

Love,

Ed

Dear Brother,

Mei and I finally started Operation MLFILWL! So far, so good. (I think)

We started Phase 1: Get Ling Jealous. There's this player noble who's dated most of the girls around here. His name's Ruko. He's been pretty interested in Lanfan lately, but Ling was never around when he was hitting on her. So Mei got this idea to get Ling in the room when Ruko was hitting on Lanfan to see if Ling got jealous. It worked!

Some noble threw a party and invited pretty much everyone under 30 in the palace, which included Ling, Lanfan, and Ruko. (and me and Mei.) So Ruko was hitting on Lanfan (as Mei predicted) and I got Ling near them. Lanfan doesn't really like Ruko, but she was being polite. So Ling saw them together and he started twitching. Finally he excused himself and went over to them and asked Lanfan to accompany him for a walk. And when she wasn't looking, he glared at Ruko! (A scary glare I might add)

So this means he definatly cares about Lanfan! Mei thinks we should get Ling a bit more jealous, but I think we should start phase 2. We'll figure it out later.

Oh, and Mei put on a growth spurt! Did you know she was actually fourteen when we met her? She's turning fifteen soon. I thought she was a lot younger, but it turns out she was just really short for her age! I never would've guessed that.

So what's going on with you?

Dear Lanfan,

That was pretty nice of you! I mean, saving Ling's hair and all.

…I can't Imagine Ling with short hair. And I totally understand you. I mean, think how Ed would look if he got a hair cut!

Mei got a growth spurt? How old is she anyway?

Alphonse,

I think we should go on with Phase 1 a little longer. I'm positive it'll work better!

Please?

So what about that puppy play date?

Dear Ed,

Aw come on, I know you don't really hate Mustang. And yeah, he probably did name his dog to match Black Hayate.

But come on, you know they'd make a really cute couple!

No Ed, those guys aren't really bothering me. And please don't kill them. We'd have to run away from our home to escape the military. Then we'd become gangsters or something like in the movies.

But that would be kinda exciting…

Never mind. Just don't kill them.

Love,

Winry

Dear Al,

Great for you!

Wait… Mei's only like three years younger than you? And all this time she's been calling me short…

WHY THAT LITTLE-

I might be visiting home soon. Why don't you come and meet me there?

Dear Winry,

Thanks for understanding! I haven't told anyone besides you about that yet. I mean, think how more determined Mei would be she learned about that. She's determined enough already.

I'm not sure, but I think they started their plan to get me and Ling together. Some random noble threw a party for all the "young adults". There's this player called Ruko, and he's been hitting on me lately. I hate him, but I'm being polite to him because it's never a good idea to get on the bad side of other nobles. So he was flirting with me at the party, and it was getting really annoying. Suddenly, Ling just came up to me and asked me to accompany him for a walk. I was glad to get away from Ruko, but it's got me thinking… Does Ling like me? I hope he does, but I won't force him to. I'll be happy as long as he's happy.

Edward with short hair… unimaginable. Same as Ling I guess.

Oh, and Mei's fourteen at the moment.

Roy,

What is it with your "puppy play dates"?

And I'm not even going to ask why we're passing notes when we're only a room away from each other.

Dear Brother,

Yeah I know, Mei's age surprised me too.

Home? I've been thinking of visiting it soon.

Oh, why don't you come to Xing? Lanfan invited Winry to come too. You've never been to Xing, right? I think you'll like it! And you'll get to meet Ed 2!

I thought she was ten!

Wow…

I think Ling totally likes you! I think he was jealous!

Good luck. I gotta go; the shop's starting to get busy.

Dear Al,

Xing… I've always wanted to go there. Maybe you and I could meet up at Winry's house and then go to Xing?

And I feel sorry for that cat. You evil people are probably calling it so short that it can't be seen without a microscope. Poor cat.

I have to go get ready, Ling has some meeting, and since I'm his guard I have to go protect him.

Oh, and I might be coming home soon! Better start making some of that awesome apple pie! And get rid of any milk in the house.

Riza,

Black Hayate must be pretty bored, so I was thinking maybe White Kogiarashi could keep him company.

And passing notes is a very effective method of communication.

A/N: For some reason, I don't feel all that satisfied with this chapter :/ I didn't change the format because that many people didn't think it was confusing.

Yeah, more note passing. I couldn't help it! And there's gonna be a lot more of Al and Mei in the next chapter!

FYI, I'm going to try really hard to update on Valentine's Day! Watch out for funniness and some romance!

Or maybe I'll write a quick filler in between… We'll see.

The faster you review, the faster I'll type up the next chapter!
