OK I DON'T OWN FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST OR ANY OF IT'S CHARACTERS.
Ok well this chapter might me sort of long, but it'll will be very exciting. I know I haven't been updating but I had to go to Stockton for my baby cousin's baptism. But I'm back and that's what matters.
Part 8- Return of the Fullmetal Alchemist
“ Where were you?” winry asked with a smile.
Uh? What should I do? Ok keep it cool, act innocent and she won't know “I had to use the bathroom” I'm such a good liar
“Well…ok, are you still gonna help me?”
“yeah” he said followed by a sigh.
***********
“Ed can you hand me the monkey wrench?” winry asked as she kept her vision on her work. Ed handed her the tool and sat back down on the stool.
“mom?..”
“yeah?”
“I'm bored” he whined immaturely.
Winry laughed “ok you can head on inside”
Ed jumped of the stool and walked lazily inside.
Ed's growing up fast, too fast. Maybe I should keep him closer to me during the day she sighed. Of course I should give him space to grow.
********
It has been a long time since I've been here, I had almost forgot how it looked like He thought as he made his way through town I wonder how winry will react when she sees we came back, she might of changed a lot over the years.
He walked along his brother, still in his suit of armor. “Are you excited brother?” his brother asked.
“you bet! I haven't seen winry in years!” he cheered.
“me too!” al shouted in glee after a laugh.
“this place sure hasn't changed huh Al?”
“yeah nothing has changed” he said with a happy tone of voice. Since his face bared no emotion.
“How old do you think grandma Pinako got over these 6 years?” Edward joked
“Brother! That's not very nice!”
“sorry Al but it has been quite some time” Edward explained followed by his laughter.
“oh brother” al sighed.
“come on al let's walk faster! I can't wait to see winry!” Ed said as he quickened his pace.
********
“Ed!” winry shouted.
“yeah mom?”
“Ed sweetheart can you go to town and get me some groceries?”
He sighed “ok”
“it's not much… just a-“ she studied the list with a frown “a loaf of bred and-“ she smiled finishing her list ” some eggs”
“ok! Be back in a while” Ed said smiling as he took the list out of winry's hand.
“ed! Don't forget the money!”
“ok! I got it!”
“don't drop the eggs!”
“I won't!” He hurried out of the house with Den by his side again. “come on boy!” Den barked happily.
Ed ran to town, it wasn't so far, not even a mile or even half of one. Ok a loaf of bread, a dozen eggs and-…that's it!. Ed began to get closer and closer to town. Loaf of bread and eggs, loaf of bread and eggs he repeated to himself so he wouldn't forget.
He finally reached town.
********
“Hello Edward and Alphonse!” people warmly began to great them as they remembered
the brothers.
“nice to see you all” Al said with glee.
“Hey Al why don't we stop by the market and bring some fresh fruit to winry's?”
“Great idea brother!” and with nothing else they headed to the market.
Edward was excited to be back home, even though he hadn't succeeded in finding the philosopher's stone. Still he was pretty nervous of seeing winry. What if she didn't want him back? What if she was mad at him for leaving? His stomach turned with both excitement and nervousness. He couldn't forget about their last nigh together.
Edward waited while Al chose the fruit. He herd a familiar bark behind him. He turned and saw Den. Den? It is den! No other dog in this town has such a familiar metal leg. He smiled as he saw the dog barking happily at someone but who? What's den doing here all by himself?
“Ok Ed what does your mother want this time?” he herd the market lady say nicely to someone. Then it caught his attention. A young boy was standing there next to den.
“uhh??” he said forgetfully.
“come on ed do you remember?” she asked with a smile.
Edward focused on their conversation, specially on the young boy.
Was he with den? Den soothed his head against ed's small hand.
“oh! Right! Thanks boy” ed said and reached into den's collar and pulled out a note. “a loaf of bread-…” he studied the note trying to figure out his mother's writing “oh?..and a dozen eggs”
“ok I'll be back” the nice lady said and left.
He is with den…
Den turned and saw Edward. He barked excitedly and ran to him.
“No! Den No!” he Edward shouted as the dog jumped on him his metal leg making it heavier on Edward. He lost his balance and fell down. “hey boy! Did you miss us?” den licked Edward's face.
“look Al it's den!”
“den? It is him! Hey boy!” Al petted the dog warmly as den reached his face.
“Den! Come on boy!” ed shouted and den returned to him.
Edward stood and walked over to him. “Hi there” Edward greeted the boy.
“hi” ed smiled. Huh? I've seen this man before but where?
“Is he your dog?” he asked.
“yeah” ed said.
Hmmm? Who is this boy? He looks quit familiar. But where have I seen him? And why does he have den? I know winry she would never give him away. Or maybe something happened to them? No.
“here you go ed” the nice lady said.
And both father and son turned “here you go” she said once more as she handed ed(jr.) the paper bag (OK I HAVEN'T CLEARED THIS OUT BUT, WHEN I SAY ED I REFER TO ED JR. BUT WHEN I SAY EDWARD I REFER TO ED SR. OK JUST WANTED TO CLEAR THINGS OUT SO IT WOULDN'T BE SO CONFUSING)
“ Thank you Mrs. Sampson” ed smiled taking the bag from her.
“ok take those home quickly now, you don't wanna make your mother worry”
“ok thank you…come on den”
“wait-…oh he's gone…who was that little boy?” Edward asked the nice lady.
“oh, that's Edward, but we all call him ed, he's a really nice boy”
“Ed? Huh?”
“he has your name brother” al spoke up
“ok, thank you miss” Edward smiled
“your welcome Edward”
********
“brother? Why were you so interested on that little boy we saw at the market?”
“oh that? Well I was thinking why would he have den? I mean winry loves him, she would never give him away, not in a million years”
“Well it is strange that that little boy has him, but what if that little kid just you know plays with him and takes him for walks, when winry's too busy to do it”
“Yeah maybe, I worry too much!”
So Edward and Alphonse headed to winry's house. Just the same direction Ed is going to.
