70 years later (Edwin)
Like every other capital, Central is a busy place. In this particular morning everything seems to be extra busy for a mechanic as she ran for the bus stop, '70 years ago, I never thought I'll see this kind of day again' Her grandmother would say. 70 years ago Central changed for the better, the than fuehrer Bradley was over thrown by the ex-Fuehrer Mustang with the legendry Elric brothers, the most memorable Xingis emperor-who changed Xing into its current prosperous state-and other of Mustang's subordinate.
The mechanic ran to the outskirts of central city only to miss the bus "Damn!" She cursed than fall on the bench dropping her tool box near her. Just then an aged man sat near her who seems to be having the same problem as she did "Wish I was young again." She heard the man swear in between breath. Henrian Saw snorted at that but the man caught it, just when she thought she was done for the man asked "A mechanic?" "Yes sir." The blond replied being, in the military had rubbed her off. "Thank karma!" The man exclaimed "How much do you charge for a broken down car?"?" "Depends on the condition of the car." Henrian replied then followed the man to his car "Good, good."
After a few minutes the blue eyed mechanic shut the engine compartment "All done sir." "You remind me of my wife." Henrian turn to the man in time to caught his greyish-gold eyes on the wrench in her hand "She was also a mechanic, and let me tell you I've never been so afraid of wrenches before she uses one." "Why?" Henrian found herself asking "That crazy automail geek bash my head with it every time I destroy her creation." The man shook his almost white hair in a braid like he was remembering something awful.
"Where is she sir?"
"In the old people retirement house. She had a few attacks and now suffers a few memory lose. Trust me, everyday she forgets me but never her automail."
Henrian look at the man again, was he serious? He sounded like he hated his wife "She already forgot you sir. Then why are you always going back to her?"
A frown came on the man's face as if she just asked the most obvious thing "It doesn't matter if she forgot me or not I still remember her and that's all that matters." Henrian stared speechless at the man as he got in his red Ford "How much was it again?" Henrian wrote on a paper and passed it on to him "Darn" The man cursed again "I forgot my wallet." After shuffling through his stuff the man passed her a silver object and the paper "Ask the secretary. Thanks again!" she watched as the car disappeared in a corner than she smiled a distant genuine smile "That's the kind of love I want."
