Winry and Roze got together one afternoon. They were in Liore at a food stand, talking about Roze's boyfriend troubles. It seemed that Roze kept dating Winry's rejects. Creepy weird, right? Well, Roze decided it just mightbe a good idea for Winry to give her some advice for once. Well, maybe for the umpteenth time. But that was just a small detail.

"So," Roze asked, "do you think Edward would be an okay boyfriend?"

Sighing, Winry explained, "Ed has some serious anger problems. He had them when we were dating, and has had them for as long as anyone can remember. He's blown three dates, including mine, due to those anger problems."

She was oblivious to Winry's explanation, and asked again, "so, would he be an okay boyfriend?"

"Roze! Are you even listening?" Winry slammed the table, attracting attention from other eaters, "No, Roze! He's got major anger problems!"

"He didn't seem so bad when I saw him before."

"That's because, like all of your dates, he'll start off okay, then transition to show his true anger!"

*******

(Winry's flashback)

A while ago, Ed tried to pick Winry up in order to talk. He asked if she would mind. She had smarted off by saying, "can my boyfriend come too?"

Ed had shouted, "No! I just want to talk to you!"

Winry had said, "No, that's not going to happen Ed."

(End Flashback)

*******

"So, NO!" Winry shouted. "That man's a walking time bomb ready to--" she was interrupted by Roze.

"Implode?"

Winry slapped her forehead. "no, Roze, the other thing. You know, explode?"

"Oh yeah, that." Roze giggled.

"He will take out his anger on any helpless being nearby! STAY AWAY FROM HIM!"

"You're just saying that."

Well,Winry thought, will she take my advice? Survey says... a better chance of rain in hell.


Sure enough, Roze didn't listen. It had been a couple of weeks since then, and Winry actually thought there would be a slight chance that Ed might have changed. When the phone rang, she knew it had to be Roze. She knew Ed would never change.

The funny thing was, the last wacko she had finally managed to ditch was a Winry reject as well. Roze had gotten her number changed as the wackos kept making themselves known to her. Now she would need to change her number again.

Ring, ring, ring, Winry picked up the phone. "Winry, it's Roze..." she sounded scared.

"Yeah, I figured."

"Wh-what should I do to ditch him?"

In the background, Winry could hear Ed screaming. Roze whimpered.

"Have him come here, okay?"

"H-how come?"

"I can deal with him better than anyone else can."

"O-okay." Click.

Winry hung up the phone. She was laughing to herself. That Roze never learned. She never listened to good advice. She loves trouble. So trouble loves her.

While Winry was absorbed in her own thoughts, the phone rang again. Probably Ed telling me his mission was a complete success.

"Hey, Winry." Ed said in his usual tone.

"Hi Ed."

"Uh, can I come back to Risembool soon?"

"Why?"

"Because Roze hasn't learned anything from this. I'm using a pay phone near the pub. She says no matter what, never go to Winry."

Winry slapped her forehead again and groaned. That girl never learned. She claimed to 'not want an angry man!', yet here she was in this position, again.

"Yeah, Ed, you might as well."

She heard Ed's voice perk up a bit. "Yeah, be there soon!"

"Oh, and Ed..."

"Yeah?"

"Trash everything." Hopefully, THAT would leave a message. Listen to Winry.

"Sure." Click.


You can thank my dear mom for this one. I couldn't resist. One of mom's 'flops'. Except, I don't like to have Ed be totally like her old ex. Just so you know, Winry's stories were only to scare Roze. Ed is WINRY's! (in my opinion) This will only be a one-shot. Unless requested otherwise. Thanks for reading!
