Role Change
Disclaimer: Fullmetal Alchemist does not belong to me and I make no money from this work of fanfiction at all.
A/N: Drabbles set in an AU where roles are flipped around. Written for shit and giggles.
The sun was so.
Damn.
Hot.
There was no water. There was no food. There wasn't even grass to be turned into bread, and that was totally unacceptable.
Even worse, the massive suit of armor had disappeared entirely into the endless sand, leaving the blond confused and worried.
"Hey- hey Sciezska- where'd you go?"
Sand, sand- more sand! There'd been no attacks-
"I'm right here!"
A shriek split the blistering air when an armored hand erupted from the sands to grab Winry Rockbell's boot covered ankle.
"Dammit why do you keep doing that Sciez?" the blond wailed, hauling her best friend out up.
"I can't help it!"
They were quite a mismatched pair. Blond Winry Rockbell had been a certified State Alchemist since age twelve, and at fifteen, had a reputation for both her temper and her sheer ability. Though she hardly looked like the "Alchemist of the People" at that moment, in her sweat soaked black coveralls with the flamel emblazoned in red on the back. Her hair was barely restrained by the scarf across her forehead.
"Yes you can! You're just doing this to piss me off!"
Then there was Sciezska.
She was Winry's best friend- nearly her sister. She towered over the blond, wearing- bizarrely enough- seven foot tall men's armor.
Thankfully very few people asked why.
Not that it particularly mattered; there was no one inside wearing the armor at all.
The two girls had been together since they could remember- "friends" was too mild a term. They had played together, cried together, and sinned together. While Sciezska was not a strong alchemist, she had an ability that most scientists would give their eyeteeth for. She could recall, with perfect detail, anything she had ever seen written.
"I am not! I do NOT fall in the sand to piss you off!"
Winry snarled, kicking Sciezska's breastplate- and it promptly dumped sand over the flesh and blood girl.
"But that I did!"
With a titter at Winry's expression, Sciez turned and ran- leaving Winry to shriek and anger and follow her as they made their way to the city of Lior.
