Winry Rockbell was outside the Rockbell house at sundown, looking up at the stars. She always loved when Ed and Al came over to her house. They always brought a ray of
happiness into that old, boring, musty house she calls home. Ever since Ed and Al came back from the gate, she had never been so happy. But today was different. They were going
to be leaving by morning. 'Damn it, Ed, why do I always have to wait for you?' she thought to herself. "Hey Win, how are ya doing?" she heard a voice behind her. It was Ed. "I'm
fine." That was all she said Ed sat down next to her. There was a long silence, then finally Ed could here the sound of Winry crying. He didn't pay attention to it at first, but then he
looked over to her. She was trying to hold the tears back, but then she finally cracked, sobbing into her arm. "Whats wrong, Win?" Ed asked. "Please Ed, can you stay for just
one more day?" She said, with tears pouring down her face, and clouding her warm, blue eyes. "I'm sorry Win, but I just can't."
" But you and Al just came back from the gate a month ago! Please Ed, I need you by my side! I'll fall apart without you..." She hugged him very tight, but still sobbing. "Winry, I
need to go. Al and I must go to re-join the military. We need to do what is right for Amestris..."
At this point, Winry started begging Ed. "Ed, you don't understand, I love you!" Winry let go of Ed, who was shocked. Winry, who was still in tears, just looked down,
embarrased of what she said. Ed looked at her. Her lovely blonde hair, her silky soft skin, and smiled. "I love you too, Wi-" He was cut off, by Winry kissing his lips. When they
broke the kiss, Winry blushed. "I'm sorry Ed."
Ed looked shocked. "It's okay Winry. It has been my little secret for a while, but I have realized that I am in love with you too, Winry. But I still need to go tommorow. But, I will
see you as soon as I can manage. I can write to you, call you, and visit you more often. Things will change from here on out, Win."
Winry stopped crying. "Can we stay here for a few minutes at least?"
Ed put his arms aroung her, smiling. "I think I can manage that."
