This is my first Fan Fiction, so please tell me what you think.
Chapter 1- The Stranger
"Come on, Brother!" Al yelled up the stairs.
"I'm trying to sleep, Al!" Ed screamed back.
So am I, I think to myself. I look out the window to see that it's still raining. Aw, come on. It had been raining for a few days now, it hadn't let up. It was going to be really gloomy working with the rain.
"Brother! Hurry or we won't be able to practice the rain gets too bad."
"I'm coming, Al!" I hear Ed mumble, probably into his pillow.
I get up knowing it's going to be a long day; and knowing I'll never get to sleep with those two yelling through out the house. I get up dress in my automail making dress, and go down stairs for breakfast.
The day passes as normally as possible with Ed and Al in the house. It's been a few months since their mother died. I hope their doing okay. Both my parents are gone, but I still have no idea what to say.
"Hey, Winry!"
Al's call brings be back to the present, and I look at him with a smile.
"Hey, Al. What are you and Ed up to?"
"Nothing really. Hey, do you think that Granny would let Ed and I go help with making the dams?"
I think about it for a moment.
"I don't see why not, as long as you guys don't get into too much trouble down there."
Al nods and goes back over to Ed. They've been really weird lately, it's been really scary. Not weird like creepy, but weird that they have been keeping things from Gran and me a lot lately. I've known them long enough to know when their hiding something.
"Hey, Granny! Can Al and I go help with building the dam?" I hear Ed ask Gran.
"I don't know Ed. Some one as small as you might get under foot. But Alphonse can go." Gran answers him with a grin.
Here it comes, I think when Gran said that one word.
"I AM NOT SMALL! HOW DARE YOU CALL ME SMALL! LOOK WHO'S TALKING, YOU LITTLE OLD HAG!" Ed rants.
I pick up my wrench and throw it over my shoulder, hoping it will make contact with the right head.
CRACK!
Yes, contact! I think as I hear Ed yell in pain of the wrench hitting his head.
"Winry! What was that for?!" Ed yells at me.
"I had to get you stop ranting somehow. And the wrench was the closest thing I could grab."
"There was a pillow right next to you! That wrench could have killed me!"
"That wouldn't have gotten your attention. Gran just let them go so I can get some work done." I plead to Gran.
"Fine, go you two, but be back in time for supper!" She yells the last part as the door slams closed.
I finished sooner then I thought with the boys out helping. I put my project away, and on a new dress that's not covered in grease; and go outside to tell the boys supper is almost ready. When I get to the men working, I see them right off. I guess it's not hard to see them, one tall the other sho- vertically challenged, both with golden blond hair.
I watch as they make a wall with alchemy. Then I watch as it falls back down, and see their depressed looks. Then I see a woman in white walk up to the rushing water. I watch as she claps her hand and places them on the ground. I watch, again, in wonder as the ground starts moving and forming a dam. When the ground was done moving someone asks who she is, all she says is, "Just a house wife passing through."
I watch as the boys run up to her and grab her arm; begging and pleading something about her teaching them. I watch as the woman throws them off and they jump back up and continue pleading and clinging to her. The woman looks around and asks something, a man answers her. She looks down at the bots with a saddened expression and says something to them. The boys eyes brighten and they smile real smiles for the first time since there mother died.
So there you go. The first chapter of my first Fan Fiction. If anyone has any suggestions on what Winry should do while the boys are training add that to your review.
Thanks,
