"Brother you've been working all day! Actually all week! You haven't slept once, the homunculus are not just going to walk in the more you research!" Alphonse Elric yelled at his brother snatching the book on alchemy from his older brother Edward Elric's hands.

"Al!" Ed looked up at his brother who winced at seeing his brothers blood shot eyes. "Mustang wants to know everything, what they look like, tattoos, talents, how they are created? I cant do theta sitting on my ass!"

Trying to snatch the book back.

"Ed I'll give it back if you go for a walk to clear your head stop for tea and then have a nice nap in a bed and not a chair." Al pushed Ed out of the library.

"Fine I'll do as you say but if I don't get that book back I will go crazy on your ass!"

After walking for ten minutes Ed decided to stop and get Tea. When he finally got his tea (no milk!) he ended up turning around just to have a girl run right into him knocking his and her hot drink all down the front of them both.

"Damn!" Ed said as soon as the hot liquid leaked through his clothing

"Oh, I'm so sorry please don't arrest me it was an accident!" The blonde girl said as she tried to dry his shirt with napkins she had not worrying about herself.

Ed sighed. Being a state alchemist people treat you with respect but some alchemist and others in the military are known to throw people in jail for little things like this.

"Dont worry I hardly ever arrest anyone let a lone someone who didn't do anything."

"Really? It's just you sounded angry and I'm new here and everyone keeps telling me Alchemist are very strict and I saw the watch, then one tried to arrest me because I wouldn't help him with his -" she was stopped by Ed's automail right hand.

"I'm not like that. I sounded angry because the tea was hot. Like I said don't worry."

Before Ed could move his hand the girl had grabbed it and taken off the glove and squealed.

"You have automail." she smiled up at him her blue eyes lighting with passion. " I should probably introduce my self. I'm Winry Rockbell from Rush Valley, Automail mechanic."

"Edward Elric The Fullmetal Alchemist, but I don't really need a new- wait did you say Rockbell?"

"I can tell you whatever you want but do you….um…think we could sit people are staring." she looked at the ground and blushed.

Ed looked around to see people indeed staring most likely because they knew who he was and was thinking something bad was going to happen.

"Yeah."

They went and sat in a booth, and the waitress gave them both new drinks and the mess they made (except their shirts) had been cleaned up.

"So you herd the name Rockbell? Usually only people in Rush valley know about the Rockbells or in Resembool."

Ed finally looked up at the girl and got a good look. She had beautiful blue eyes and long straw colored blonde hair that was worn down. Her blue shirt was stained with the tea.

"Um… Yeah me and my brother lived in Resembool with my mother and my mechanic was Pinako Rockbell she was one of the best. She died though about a year ago sadly, I haven't found a new mechanic." he looked back at Winry to see her staring at him in shock. "You okay?"

"Y-yeah its just Pinako Rockbell was my grandmother, I didn't visit much but when I did I loved it Resembool is so peaceful here and Rush valley are crazy." she laughed

"Yeah my mom still lives there I visit as much as I can but you know work is hectic so."

They sat and Talked for about an hour sometimes laughing like the had known each other for years. Until thunder sounded outside and it started pouring.

"Oh, No!"

"What? Its just rain." Ed said confused but felt the pain start to throb in his leg and shoulder from where the connect.

"They stop the Train in the rain though and I was supposed to go home today and I have no extra money! No place to stay or clothes!" she rambled looking worried out the window.

"You can stay with me and my brother? It's down the street we don't live on the military base and my brother would like to have company he loves it actually and we have an extra room?" Ed looked out the window to and saw people running away from the rain.

"Sure sounds good."

They walked home in mostly silence and Ed had given her his coat saying he didn't need it since he already had on a shirt and a light jacket.

"When we get there I'm taking a look at that automail! Grandma always made the best but I plan to be better!" she looked up at him and laughed when he just smirked.

Ed stopped walking in front of a three story house painted a grayish white, with a flat dark roof. The windows were long and the door was a double door. It definitely had to be expensive.

"Whoa, I though you said apartment not mansion!" Winry said in shock.

"Working in the military I have enough money to keep this house, help my mom with her bills. and put my brother through college. It really isn't that expensive." Ed shrugged and walked up the wide steps unlocking the door then looking back at her.

"Are you coming or are you going to stand there like a goldfish?"

Her moth snapped shut and she went up the steps and stood next to him.

"Al! Alphonse! You home?"

"Yeah, your just on time I started making dinner…" Al's voice trailed off when he saw Winry. "Whose this?" he looked at her questioning.

"This is Winry Rockbell I literally ran into her in the tea shop she needed some place to stay."

"Oh, your Aunty Pinako's granddaughter she told me about you once. I'm Alphonse Elric, Ed's little brother." he shook her hand with a smile.

"How did you know Aunty had a granddaughter? She never told me!" Ed asked surprised.

"It was after you went off to get your state certification, she had got a letter from her. Okay you two should go clean up Ed give Winry some of moms clothes so she will have something to sleep in." Al walked back into the dining room to the kitchen that was to the right of the front door when you walk in.

"Well come on Win, I'll take you to your room and then grab you clothes we pass the bathroom on the way there."

Winry was in Aww at the place. The staircase had a mahogany railing with tan carpet. The hallway with all the rooms was covered in the same carpet.

"Here you go." Ed said opening the last door on the right. "My room is across the hall and Al's is next door. My moms room is next to mine she's visiting tomorrow if you would like to meet her. She comes every Friday and stay's till Sunday."

"Its lovely." Winry said as she stepped into the room and ran her fingers across the bed. The bed was snow whit the walls a warm brown color the floors wooden on either side of the bed was nightstands each with flowers on them. Two windows one looking out to the backyard, and the other facing the neighbor. On the other side of the room was a vanity and a dresser both the same color as the floor.

"My mom did all the decorating when me and my brother moved in we were only twelve and eleven. Mom was always good at this stuff." he smiled then turned and walked across the hall to grab clothes for her.

"Here you go." he handed her a white nightgown and a dark red soft robe.

"Red is kind of the family color so mom wears it a lot."

"She won't mind?" Winry asked worried

"Nope she likes to make sure other people are okay first before she worries about herself, so she really doesn't mind about these things. Well better shower before dinners ready, I'm going to change then I'll be in the study which is downstairs if you need me ask Al he can point it out." he walked into his room to change.

Winry walked to the shower with a glazed look on her face.
