"I'm telling you, just hook up with Maes or somebody. Anybody, " my friend, Winry said as we walked to my house. "Maes and I are only friends. We've been friends since grade school." I told her for the hundredth time. She sighed and shook her head in disappointment.
"Is there something he told you not to tell me?"
"Well, yes, and no."
"What do you mean yes and no?," I asked her as we turned the corner.
"I mean he didn't really tell me anything."
"Complete answers p-OUCH!" I said falling to the ground.
"Are you okay young lady?," A voice asked.
The voice seemed to connect with a hand because it reached out to me.
"I'm a girl now? That's great. I guess being able to cross-dress wasn't enough,'' I thought to myself, taking his hand.
"Yeah. I am. Thanks," I said as he hoisted me to my feet.
"That's good. Um…Would you happened to know where a Edward Elric lives?," He asked.
Winry and I looked at each other then laughed and walked to my house. Sure enough he followed.
"This is my house. If you want, you can join us inside," I said to him opening the door to the middle mansion that was between two others.
"Sorry Ed, but I can't stay. I have some homework to do," Winry said backing up.
"You can do your homework here like you normally do,"
I put my key in the lock and unlocked the door.
"You're Edward Elric?," The guy I bumped into earlier asked suddenly.
I smiled at him evilly, "The one and only…Why?"
"I'm Roy Mustang. A friend of Al's."
"You know Al?," Ed and I asked him eagerly.
"Y-yeah. Why?"
Winry and I looked at each other then rushed Roy into the house.
"What in the name of Flaming Alchemist are you two up to?," he asked once we closed the front door.
"How is he? Does he remember us? Did he tell you to come?" We kept dogging him with questions and he answered them so calmly.
"See ya tomorrow," I told Winry as she left.
She nodded and closed the door behind her.
"Maybe I should go too," Roy said after I closed the door.
"No way. You're staying. It's not like you have a place to stay tonight and you still have to tell me why you were looking for me."
"It's true I don't have a place to stay tonight, so I have no choice, but to stay."
"Good! Your room is upstairs and the first door to the left. Bathroom is across from that room so take your shower and let me bandage your back," I told him as I walked to the basement door.
"How did you know about my back?"
"It was kind of hard to miss the way you winced when Winry pushed you inside."
Roy laughed. Now that I think about it he is kind of cute.
"Okay. You caught me…I'll take a shower then meet you in the basement with my clothes."
"Good. I didn't even have to tell you."
"It was just a guess," He said, getting up off the couch and walking upstairs.
I smiled and went down stairs after opening the door.
