Well this is my first song-fic, or one-shot for that matter. It also happens to be my first FMA fic. Try and be nice, okay? This is a half song-fic; parts of it are Winry listening to the song itself, other parts the song applies to, just like a regular song-fic. Sorry if that's confusing. The parts that are just the song will be like this. The parts of the song that Winry is singing/saying will look like "this". Thoughts will look like this. The song is sung by Glinda, Elphaba, and the Citizens of Oz. The song is from Wicked, a play based on a book that was based on The Wizard of Oz.
This story is for brigurl and my little sister's Wicked CD. My sister otherwise just gets on my nerves.
Love Ya!

Disclaimer: If you sue me I will open up my laptop in court and show the judge the top of the screen. It says Fan Fiction. I don't own 'Defying Gravity' either.
Elphaba - why couldn't you have stayed calm for
once, instead of flying off the handle!
Winry down at her now milk-soaked shirt, and cast her friend an evil glance.
"Edward", she said trying to restrain herself. He might have only been home for a week, but he was causing more trouble then ever.
The twenty year-old looked up at her with an innocent smile on his face. "Sorry," he said, in an almost frightened voice.
I hope you're happy!
I hope you're happy now
"I hope your happy," Winry said as she wondered where she had placed her wrench. "Now I have to go change."
"Hey! Come back here." Ed yelled after her.
I hope you're happy how you
Hurt your cause forever
I hope you think you're clever!
He jumped up, but since he still had a fever, cough, and his automail foot was broken, he ended up on the floor.
I hope you're happy
I hope you're happy, too
He cursed, and screamed up the stairs, "You make a GREAT nurse you know!"
I hope you're proud how you
Would grovel in submission
To feed your own ambition
"Winry, come on!" he said pleadingly, "I need your help."
So though I can't imagine how
I hope you're happy right now
He grumbled and, after many tries, stood up.
Elphie, listen to me. Just say you're sorry:
You can still be with the Wizard
What you've worked and waited for
You can have all you ever wanted:
He carefully walked up the stairs and came to her closed door. "Win, I sorry." Silence answered him. "Hey! Don't ignore me! I'm apologizing here!"
"I know:
But I don't want it -
No - I can't want it
Anymore:" she said.
Ed gave the door, or to be precise the person behind it, a confused look. I thought she would yell at me or something like that, what's up with her today? "What's up with you today?"
"Something has changed within me
Something is not the same
I'm through with playing by the rules
Of someone else's game
Too late for second-guessing
Too late to go back to sleep
It's time to trust my instincts
Close my eyes: and leap!"
"Winry?" he whispered to himself.
"It's time to try
Defying gravity
I think I'll try
Defying gravity
And you can't pull me down!"
"Winry, I'm sorry about the milk but what the hell are you talking about?" Ed asked becoming angry.
"Can't I make you understand?
You're having delusions of grandeur."
"I am not!" he shouted at her door. "I'm opening this door Win, so you'd better be fully dressed."
He opened the door to find Winry standing, fully dressed, and standing with her back to him. She continued to talk:
"I'm through accepting limits
'Cuz someone says they're so
Some things I cannot change
But till I try, I'll never know!
Too long I've been afraid of
Losing love I guess I've lost
Well, if that's love
It comes at much too high a cost!"
Singing the last note she sun around revealing a cord that connected to her CD player. She continued singing and spinning until the cord came out of the machine, causing the music to blare.
"I'd sooner buy
Defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye
I'm defying gravity
And you can't pull me down:
Glinda - come with me. Think of what we could
do: together."
She spun again. This time she started on the ball of her right foot, and then she switched to her heal. She continued to spin around as Ed watched her from the doorway. As she neared his position she lost control of her feet and tripped into Ed's arms.
"So… how long have you been there, here?" Winry asked.
"I've been listening since 'I don't want it'" he answered her.
"How long have you been watching?" she asked, almost afraid of the answer.
"Since you started spewing crap about love costing too much," Ed said casually.
As if on cue, the singing started again:
Unlimited
Together we're unlimited
Together we'll be the greatest team
There's ever been
Glinda -
Dreams, the way we planned 'em
Breaking his intense gaze, Winry spun out again saying, "Come on, let's finish the song."
Ed was going to turn her down, but he saw the look of hope in her eyes. "Alright," he said.
If we work in tandemThere's no fight we cannot win
Just you and I
Defying gravity
With you and I
Defying gravity
"I missed you," Winry said feeling at ease in his strong arms.
"I missed you, too," Ed responded letting Winry rest her head on his shoulder.
They'll never bring us down!
Well? Are you coming?
I hope you're happy
Now that you're choosing this
"The next time you decide to 'die', tell me first, okay?" She asked never moving her head. "Cause, you scared me…"
"It scared me too, you know," Ed said causing Winry raise her head from his shoulder to eye level. "I thought that I'd never get to see you again, that I'd never see you smile again, or to see the way your eyes sparkle when you're happy. I thought I'd never get to say 'I love you'. I thought I'd never get to do this," Ed said as he tilted her head upwards and kissed her with more passion than he thought possible.
I hope you're happy You too
Now that you're choosing this
I hope it brings you bliss
"I love you too," Winry said in utter bliss. "Welcome home," she said kissing him again.
I really hope you get it
And you don't live to regret it
I hope you're happy in the end
I hope you're happy, my friend:
Ed gently spun her out again, and when she returned to his arms he put his arms around her waist and kept her there. She's safe, and now she'll always be happy…the music continued to play.
If you care to find me
Look to the western sky!
As someone told me lately:
"Ev'ryone deserves the chance to fly!"
And if I'm flying solo
At least I'm flying free
To those who'd ground me
Take a message back from me
Tell them how I am
Defying gravity
I'm flying high
Defying gravity
And soon I'll match them in renown
And nobody in all of Oz
No Wizard that there is or was
Is ever gonna bring me down!
"I love you," she swaying to the music. Ed held her tight and kissed the top of her head while saying "I love you too."
I hope you're happy!
CITIZENS OF OZ
Look at her, she's wicked!
Get her!
It feels like I'm walking on air when I'm with him/her. The two lovebirds thought at the same time.
Noticing the song was almost over Winry said, "One more spin, okay." Ed smiled and nodded in agreement.
Bring me down!
CITIZENS OF OZ
No one mourns the wicked
So we've got to bring her
Winry giggled as he spun her, she gently let go of his hand and he released her.
She spun around the room as he watched her. She looks like a free bird, nothing can bring her d-
Winry slipped on the hard wood floor, causing her to begin to fall backwards.
"Ahhh!"
CITIZENS OF OZ
Down!
Her head made contact with the hard floor with a thump.
"Winry!" Ed shouted in pure horror. He rushed to her side.
Dundundun!
Yes, I am evil. Sorry about saying that this would be a one-shot sort of thing, halfway through the story I started thinking Nothing bad ever happens to Winry, it's always Ed… So I changed that. SO if any of you haven't figured this out yet… I will be putting a second chapter. That is if my Inu reviewers don't kill me first.
I really hate it when people advertise their other stories in a different story but I'm so mad at my reviewers for abandoning me so I think I will…. Anyways, I have a Rurouni Kenshin story, and a LONG Inuyasha story. Neither of them are finished but with prodding the might be soon.
A/N: The compleat song 'Defying Gravity' will be the next chapter if you want it.
Love Ya!
