AN: This story is based on a dream I had last night so I apologize in advance for an OOCness. This takes place after Brotherhood/ the manga. Thank you and enjoy!

It was late at night in Central and Colonel Riza Hawkeye was in this midst of walking home with her dog, Black Hayate. The Shiba Inu walked on ahead of his master, tugging ever so slightly on his leash. The moon was high above the city; it was full and glowing far more intensely then the street lights. It was quiet and the streets appeared to be devoid of any life. Riza was tired and while she had wished to get home early that night, when working for the future Fuhrer of Amestris, it was a task to that was easier said then done.

Hayate was used to having to wait for his walk so being up at this late hour didn't bother him any. He was just grateful for the company.

As they crossed the street, Black Hayate began to bark in his desperate attempt to warn Riza of the impending danger. Riza had no more then looked to her side when blinding headlights came rushing towards her at full speed; she was unable to dodge it.

"Now, sweetie when mommy wakes up, don't be so rough. Remember she was hurt."

Riza could hear the unknown voice of a man. It was gentle and nurturing and she knew that he was talking to a child. She hoped that the child's mother was alright.

'Wait, where am I?'

All she could feel was a slight throbbing sensation that would appear and disappear with a rapid beat in her head.

All she could see was blackness.

'Am I dreaming? Is it possible to feel pain in a dream?'

Riza squeezed her hand into a fist, clenching and clenching it until she was sure she still held control over her body. When she felt that she was ready she opened her eyes. She was in a white room, lying down in a bed. She looked down at her right arm; she was hooked up to a monitor.

'Where am I?'

"Mommy! You're awake!"

A young girl with long blonde hair and blue eyes rushed up to Riza's bed side. She was accompanied by a man, who was in his mid to late thirties. He was tall enough where he would easily tower over Riza, even if she were standing. He had sandy colored hair and blue eyes that were the same shade as the girl's.

'Mommy? Did she just call me, mommy?'

Riza looked up at them; they were all eagerly waiting for her to say something, only she wasn't sure what to say. She wasn't a mother…..was she? Who was she? More importantly, who were they?

Riza directed her question to the man, though it was meant for both of them.

"Who are you?"

That same morning General Roy Mustang entered his office in Central Headquarters and was greeted with the shock of his life...

His desk was clear of any paperwork and in it's absence sat the fully grown Black Hayate, waiting patiently to be patted on the head.

EN: I swear the next chapter will be much longer and undoubtedly better written; I just had to get started today, despite my sickness, so that way I won't forget about what happened in the dream.

Please leave a review so that way I know someone is interested in reading the rest of this ^_^
