Alphonse mumbled, "He'd let you do alot of things Ed if you'd just learn to behave...." He mounted the speederbike and kicked her to life. "You know... I think Watto's more afraid of what would happen if you did win... He already lost one slave that way remember?"
--meanwhile-- A land speeder pulled up to Mrs. Hawkeye's residence. A tall figure hopped out, as the door still jammed. 'Got to get that d**ned thing fixed..' He muttered, dark hair peeking out from beneath his hood. When he raised his head to survey the land scape, he sighed and dusted off his trousers. "Anyone Home?"

Ed frowned. He had heard the stories about Anakin Skywalker, the slave who had won his freedom and went off to become a Jedi. He had dreamed that someday that would happen to him too. He doubted it though. He looked up, seeing the Jundland Wastes approaching. "Hey, I see a sand crawler." Ed said, changing the subject and pouted. "If the Jawas are here then that means we might not find much."
~~
Riza Hawkeye woke up, cursing herself for not getting up earlier. "I'm coming!" she said, quickly getting dressed and went to answer the door. "Oh! Mr. Mustang!" she said and smiled. "What brings you out here so early?" she asked, stepping back inside and motioning for Roy to come in.

"Thanks..." Roy ducked inside, and pulled his hood from his face. A bit of stubble lingered under his chin, possibly missed due to a hurried exit from his own home. "I'm here to talk about a few.. uh.. matters... I think we may have a problem..."
He sat down on a sandy step and tried to gather his thoughts, "Uh... you may want to have a seat as well.." Oddly enough, he avoided looking at her.... "It's... pretty big.."

Riza was about to fix him something to drink, but stopped and sat down, worried about the seriousness in his tone. "What is it? Is it about Alphonse?" she asked then realized she hadn't seen Alphonse around. "Where is that boy anyway?"

Roy tried not to chuckle, but a grunt escaped his lips in spite of his efforts, "No... No it's not Alphonse, though I doubt he'd ever be a problem... He's a good kid...." Looking up, he stared her right in the eyes, "Riza... I may be heading out... and joining the Empire..." Somber as his tone was, there was the the slightest ring of hesitation. "I've been turning it over in my head for a long time... and... I wanted to know what you'd think."
(( :3 Heee ))

Riza's eyes grew wide from what her crush had said. "The Empire...?" she asked and frowned. She was never one of those people who supported the Empire. She then looked back into Roy's eyes. "Roy, are you sure about this? You don't have to turn to their side because they rule the galaxy you know. I for one am not someone who supports them exactly."
~~~
As the speeder advanced on the Sand Crawler, Ed could see Jawas scattering about, collecting droids and broken parts that were left out in the desert. Ed hopped off the speeder and sighed. "I have no money on me, do you?" he asked Al. Jawas never gave away anything for free unless you traded them something. Ed then looked in the cart at the few parts he had. Maybe he could get something useful with what he had.

Alphonse rummaged through his pockets, "Riza gave my some allowance money... She's been really nice about all this... uhh..." He pulled his hand up and sifted through the contents.... "I don't think I have more than a 250 credits..." (believe me... that's small change... Podracer game n.n; eheheh ) That's when Alphonse spotted something he thought he'd never see.... a real honest to goodness Humanoid Protocol droid...
---- Roy looked up at Riza and smiled, "I had a feeling you'd say that..." He held her gaze for a moment before turning his face away as he tried to hide the oncoming rush of pink to his cheeks. He steadied himself and looked to the stove, "Have you eaten?" What he meant to say was, 'would you like to go out and eat?' but he'd never be able to bring himself to do that...

Ed pouted and sighed. "I'm never gonna get to enter the Boonta Eve..." he said, emptying out his pockets to find nothing. All he needed for his pod was a new motor and a couple of small extra parts. Finding parts out here was easy considering that many people who enter the race every year came out here to practice. He then noticed the look on Al's face. "Uh, hello? Alphonse? Still with me?" he asked, waving a hand in front of his brother's face. R2 whistled in response, seeing the protical droid Al was staring at.
~~~
Riza shook her head. "No. I just woke up." she said and let out a small laugh. "If I knew you were coming, I would've woken up earlier." she said, brushing a strand of hair out of her face. It was a bit messier than usual.

Roy's courage began poking at his insides, his stomach beginning a round of flip-flops, "uh-Ahem... Uh.. Well, Miss... Hawkeye... Would you accompany me... to..." He faltered, "...Accompany me to Breakfast?"
----
Alphonse pointed out the only protocol droid painted a consistent gold and the only one standing upright. "Ed! Look!" His eyes were practically shining brighter than the twin suns, "It's beautiful!" He whirled about, "Can we get him?! Huh?! Can we?"

((Is that C-3PO or just a look alike? Cause I just remembered that R2-D2 and 3PO are with the Rebel fleet until they escape to Tatooine in episode IV xD))
Ed looked at his brother funny. "Al, there's no way we could afford a protocal!" he said and looked back at the Sand Crawler. "Besides, you told me you'd help me find parts for my pod."
~~~
Riza looked up at Roy and smiled. "Well, I guess it couldn't hurt. Sure. Why not?" she said and stood up. "I'll just tell Alphonse I'll be out for a little while."
((Uh oh! xD))

(( You're right... okay.... So that would have to be a look alike... n.n; thanks Cathy~ ))
"Fine... Sorry Brother..I--" He stopped, "Hey Ed... Look there... just behind the Protocol... You see that?" Alphonse pointed at a cylindrical opening that could only be the intake for an engine. He twitched, "I never thought I'd see the day...." Without warning Al dragged Ed over to it, rambling something about the rarest find in the galaxy. "It has to be... it is~!" Just as he had imagined it, "It's the real deal...." A pair of half destroyed Radon-Ulzer 620c engines lay embedded a 9 foot pile of junk.
----
Roy smiled, and mentally leapt for joy. "I'll... just wait right here for you..." He offered, but found his voice fading. Roy eyed her figure as she walked away, but chiding himself and looked away. don't be such an animal... ' He scolded and folded his arms. 'Yes she's lovely but she deserves not to be oggled at...'

"Wow! This is exactly what I need!" Ed said, examining the thing, his eyes sparkling. He then turned to Al and patted him on the head. "Good eye there, little brother." he said just as a few Jawas came up to them. Ed did as best as he could to tell them he wanted the engine. He then looked over as his R2 unit let out a few beeps and yelps. "Hey! That droid's not for sale!" Ed yelled at the Jawas gathering around R2.
~~~
Riza came back out into the kitchen, her eyes filled with both worry and anger. "Alphonse isn't in his room. He must've left to go meet Edward again." she said and shook her head. "I told him not to go out alone! It get's dangerous out there." she said and sighed, looking up at Roy with a look of apology. "I'm sorry, but we're going to have to do breakfast some other time. I need to go out and find Al."

"...uh... well... might I can assist you?" Roy offered and rose to his feet. "My landspeeder can get us around alot faster than a swoop bike..." He hoped his efforts just to be near her wouldn't be in vain.
-----
Alphonse tried to rush over to help Ed tell off the droids, "Hey! Can't touch that!" (Doo doody doo~ xDD sorry ) As he reached over to steady R2 in the cart, he felt something, a sense of forboding.... He looked at where the twin suns were in the sky, "Uh-oh... I think Ri-... Ri-..."
Al suddenly sneezed, the force of it nearly causing him to hit his head on R2. "Riza might be looking for me," He whispered to Ed.
Quickly getting to one knee, he checked the little anklet that every slave had.

Ed bought the engine and placed it in the back with R2. He then looked up at the sky and cursed to himself. "Crap! It's that late already? I should be working..." he muttered. "Izumi and Watto are both gonna have my heads for this." Just as he said that, the Jawas quickly gathered their things and ran back into the safety of their Sand crawler. Ed had a bad feeling as the thing took off rolling out into the desert. He then heard screeches of Tuscan Raiders nearby. "Al! We need to go! Now!"
~~~
Riza nodded to Roy and smiled. "Thanks. I appreciate you taking time off your hands to help me." she said, pulling on a sandy colored poncho. She then took out her tracker, looking for Al's signal. "He's near the Jundland wastes."

Roy's expression dropped to a glower, " That's dangerous territory... What are they doing there?" He asked, and quickly escorted Riza out the door.
---
Al froze in fear, "R-r-raiders?!" Without thinking he clung to Ed, "What are we gonna do?! I'm too young to die!! I haven't kissed Naheela!" (Random girl I just made up for the hell of giving Al a crush... n.n;; eheheh )
