Since the new FMA books have been finally coming out in manga, and English, form I decided to start a FF, know the actual author's ideas and such. I know the ending of FMA, but I choose to redo it in my own form. This idea has been sitting on me for awhile now, so I decided to get it down.

I haven't abandoned my other FF, although I am debating what to do for the next chapter...This is my first FMA FF of Edward and Winry. So any reviews are appreciated immensely.

The Disclaimer Says: I may own my FMA books but certainly not anything Hiromu Arakawa came up with. I just borrow the characters.

5 Years, 6 Months & and 22 Hours

5 years 6 months 22 hours and 53 minutes.

That's how long it's been since I've seen my Edward and Alphonse. I've been mentally counting everyday since they left.

Now it's been 5 years 6 months 22 hours and 55 minutes since I've started thinking about them. I've missed them so, but I don't show it.

They must never know the pain they cause.

I know they try to make us live a better life and not tell us what they're doing, but why can't they see that only pains us more?

Those idiots.

They can't see that by not telling us it makes us all worry. But That's okay. We all just pretend that it doesn't.

There are so many things they don't know about me, or Granny, because they're never around. For instance, whenever I call Ed, I always mentally tack a -kun to the end of his name. Edward-kun. He doesn't know that, but that's okay because I'm sure that he doesn't add -san or -chan to my name... But he's still my Edward-kun either or.

And Alphonse. Al... What can I say about him? He's certainly much different then Edward. He's the nicer one of the two, the more concerned one that worries about how to pay next months rent. Not that they pay rent really to anyone. But he's like a younger brother to me, the sibling I never got. No thanks to Roy Mustang, who I secretly still hold much disdain for...

I wonder if they've managed to get the Philosophers stone and if they got their bodies back. I really hope they did. They seemed so destined to have it. (Sigh) I hope Edward hasn't gotten taller. His shortness seems to make him, well, him. Those two. Always doing some type of incredulous work. I don't question them, for they wind up telling me later what's up and on their minds anyways.

I miss them something terrible. Like a bird without her chicks. Of course I'm no mother, and I certainly don't plan to be one at 19 years old...

Heh. Edwards 19 too now. Alphonse would be, what, 17? 18 maybe? I haven't spoken to either of them for 5 years, so they don't even know that Granny left us. Her parting words were "Seek them out, Winry, make sure they stay out of trouble." And then "POOF!" gone. Leaving me to cry and Den to whimper.

Damn you Edward and Alphonse Elric. I can't really blame them to much for wanting to get their bodies back. I can't think of more deserving people. Edward is rude sometimes, okay a lot of times, but he still helps out when possible. And Al. Always wishing for the best in people and never speaking a harsh word unless it's to Ed "Brother you'll catch a cold!" or something like that.

I step outside, sitting on the wooden steps with Den sleeping next to me. Poor Den. He looks like he's getting on in years. I blink into the sunset horizon, seeing a figure, no wait. Two figures. They look about the same size, and I swear I've seen that red coat somewhere..

"Hey, Win." I hear from the far-off object that seems to keep getting closer and closer...

Oh my God.

It's been 5 years 6 months 23 hours and 22 minutes since I've seen that damn smile.

So it most certainly was not my fault when my wrench went flying.

So how was this chapter? Please review for this is my first FMA FF so I'm a little nervous about posting it. But the idea seemed to hard to resist not to post it.

It will get longer, but this is the first chapter and I just wanted to try it out. So please enjoy. :)
