Untitle Yet
By Kitty Nguyen
Two figures stood in the road way to a small house in Rezembool. "Here we are, back home." The taller one said.
"Yeah Al" Ed told Al with a lazy voice. While the win played with his hair, that was still in a braid.
"Brother...What's wrong? Aren't you happy to be home for the next two weeks? Colonel Mustang did let us take a vacation." Al told his brother with a worried sound in his voice, but there was no expression on his face.
' But Al you don't know the other half. I'll have to leave again. And every time it gets harder and harder.' Ed thought.
"Yeah, he finally did. But not after he called me Fullmini..." Ed almost angrily scream in annoyance and a quick cover up for what he really felt.
"HeHeHe. I almost forgot about that...HeHeHe! You were going up and down like a jumping shrimp. hehehe!" Al laughed at the funny memory.
"WHATDOYOUMEANBYASHRIMPSOSMALLYOUCANCRUSHWITHTHETIPOFANEEDLE?" Ed yelled like always when some one made fun of his height. ( Translation: What do you mean by a shrimp so small you can crush with the tip of a needle.)
A young blond hair girl from inside the house woked up when she had heard someone laughing outside of her room. 'Could it be...'
She heard the also-familar screaming from inside her room. She ran to the balcony to make sure her guess was correct. And there they stood. The Elric brothers. Each with a suitcase at their feet.
"Ed, Al!" She yell," Welcome home!" The two boys stopped auguring for a moment and looked up to see their childhood friend smiling and waving at them, to welcome them back to a home they would always have.
Flashback
Ed and Al stood before a house, engulfed in flames. It was their house that was burning to the ground. They didn't want anything to remind them of what they were leaving behind, scared it would make them miss home too much and they would change their minds to refuse going on their mission. To restore their bodies to normal and live just like before all this happened. Their father had left the three of them a long time ago. But after their mother die, they felt like they didn't have anything else but each other left.
Flashback Ends
"Hey Winry!" " Hello Winry!" Ed replied first then Al.
"Come on in already. Do you guys plan to stand there over night?" She asked the two brothers.
"No. We'll be right in! Just give us a sec!" Ed answered her. "So you ready to go in Al?" Ed started to run towards the house.
"Yeah, ok." Al started to follow his brother to the old house their friend stayed all her life.
The two Elrics stood at the porch waiting for Aunt Pinako or Winry to open the door. And the door slowly opened to reveal a smiling Winry. "Come in. You guys. It's been a while since you last came home." She said while motioning them to come inside.
"Thanks Winry" Al said, just as polite as always.
When they all sat down, Aunt Pinako walked in while she wiped her hands free of oil from working on an automail for another customer.
"Hi Auntie." Both Al and Ed said to the old lady.
"Good day boys. So Ed have you come back to get your arm fixed again?"
"Nope!" He said proudly," How come every time we come home everyone thinks I've broken my arm again?"
"Cause the reason you come home every time is because your arm IS broken." Winry stated the reason like it was obvious to everyone but him. "But if it isn't to get your arm fixed then what is it for?"
"Well, the colonel finally let us have a vacation." Ed answered her question with an annoying sound in his voice. He leaned back into the couch making himself at home.
"Really? He just let you have a vacation?" A surprised Winry asked.
"Yeah. He just let Ed take the next two weeks off." Al replied for Ed.
"Well. That doesn't sound like the normal colonel I hear you complain about all the time." Auntie Pinako finally poped into the conversation. "Well, if you excuse me I have to finish the arm for that young girl before she comes back." With that Auntie left the room to return to her work.
Winry, Ed, and Al sat there talking about when they were young. Then Winry told them everything that happened during the last two months they've been gone. But she didn't tell them everything that happened. She left out just one last important detail...
'ok...Now's a great time to tell Winry' Ed thought. "Um...Winry?"
"Yes Ed?" She replied.
Ed tried to begin his sentence,"Winry...Um...Would...I m-"
Knock Knock Knock
"Hold on one second" She said with a finger in the air to show one.
Someone was knocking on the door. "I be right there" Winry yelled hoping who ever was on the other side heard her. She stood up and walked to open the door. Ed and Al just stopped talking and watched curiously to who was on the other side of the door. Winry opened the door wide, but Ed and Al still didn't see who was on the other side. But they did hear what he said.
"Hello Winry. I though you would like to go to the mall with me tomorrow." said a young male voice who sounds to be around the age of 15.
' Oh no...Say no Winry say no.' Ed's plee was a silent one.
"Um...I would love to go with you." Was Winry's reply. Ed's heart dropped and if felt like it was ripped into a million pieces. 'Just when I was about to tell her a suitor came..' Ed thought.
"Great. So I'll pick you up at 5?" The young man asked.
"Yeah that sounds good." Winry answered. Then they all said their good byes. She closed the door and return to the chair she was sitting in before she answer the door. "What did you want to tell me?"
"Oh. It's nothing." Ed said trying to hide that he was hurt. But it wasn't enough. Winry caught it. 'What's wrong with Edward? Why does he sound so sad...' Winry though with a worry face.
"um...Winry" Al started," Who was that at the door?"
"Ohhim. Well...He's my boyfriend." Winry answered Al. Ed hung his head down so his bangs would hide his eyes and sorrow.
"I'm go to bed. I'm getting tried after that train ride and it's around 8. Sogood night." Ed said. He stood up and left to go to his room.
Winry looked at Ed with the same sorrow she tried to hide.
"Winry, I will go to bed too. Good night." Al said.
"Ok Al." Winry replied simply. Al stood up and went the same diraction his brother did a few moments ago.
Winry just there and thought about everything that had happened. Then she left to go to bed until the next day.
