Winry gazed out her window, watching the sun set. She would wait for Edward and Alphonse every night, staring down the path in hopes that two silhouettes would be running towards her home.

She went back into her room and picked up a lantern, then went back outside and flashed it. On, off… on, off… She was about to turn back inside when she saw them. Edward, flailing his suitcase behind him as Alphonse ran next to him. Winry smiled, and flashed the lantern a few more times before she went back inside to get her wrench.

Edward panted as he raced down the path. He needed to get to Winry before his arm fell off completely.

"Brother! Look!" Al cried. Ed looked up.

A lantern was flashing in Winry's window. Ed smiled. "She was expecting us…"

Ja ne!
