This just might be the longest fanfic I've written. This is funny, because I've written like twenty that I don't have the guts to post on here.
Oh, and reviews would be nice. Enjoy~!

Winry Rockbell loved Edward Elric's company. He was funny and never got sick of her the way other people had. He and his brother Alphonse were the only playmates she had, but she didn't mind. She had so much fun with the Elrics, naturally it was a surprise when her mother asked her one day who she was playing with.
"Ed and Al!" she replied innocently, confused. Her mother began to look worried.
"But, sweetie, there's no one there." Winry looked to her left and, sure enough, Edward was there, holding her hand with his cold, metal one and smiling mischievously. A glance to her right confirmed that Alphonse was there as well, holding her other hand and shyly smiling at her. She once again looked at her mother in confusion.
"But they're right here! Holding my hands!" Her mother looked down and noticed that her daughter's hands were curled, as if she really was holding someone's hands. She frowned.
"Sweetie, enough games- it's time for dinner." Winry's eyes lowered sadly, and she looked over to Alphonse.
"I have to go in, Al," she said sadly. His face fell, and he looked down in disappointment. "I'll come back out tomorrow, don't worry!" His face lifted a bit at that, and he nodded enthusiastically. She smiled at him and turned to Edward. He smiled at her. "I'll see you tomorrow, Ed," she said with a smile. He shook his head no, defiance sparkling in his golden eyes.
"You gotta stay, Win!" he begged, using the nickname she could never say no to. "You know you want to!" She giggled.
"Silly, it's dinner time! You guys can come in if you want to. Just wait up in my room and I'll bring you some soup!" Ed jumped.
"Yeah, food!" He turned to his brother eagerly. "C'mon, Al! Let's go wait upstairs! Alphonse's face brightened considerably.
"We can come in? Yay, your room is so cool!" And with that the two Elrics ran with her back to her house.
When Winry turned eight, she invited Edward and Alphonse to her birthday party. They accepted the invitation without hesitation, but when she told her mother who was coming, the woman was not amused.
"Winry, who is coming to your party later?" Mrs. Rockbell asked at breakfast. Winry's face scrunched up in concentration and she slowly named off who was going to arrive.
"Hmm…Mary, Katelyn, Rae…Lisa…Jenny, Ed and Al," she replied after some thought. Her mother gave her an exasperated look. She cocked her head. "What?"
"Again with your imaginary friends, Winry? You're too old to believe in something like that!" Winry's face went red.
"Edward and Alphonse Elric ARE NOT IMAGINARY!" She yelled, storming off to her room. Her mother had to cancel the party because she refused to come out of her room for the rest of the day.
