Chapter One: Conversations With a Surprise
NPOV:
Winry and Riza sat on Winry's balcony. It was just past three in the morning and so far it seemed the two girls weren't going to sleep anytime soon. Sighing, Winry stood up and flicked off the light she always kept on before going to bed. If they weren't here by now the probably weren't coming.
"You know Winry, I admire you." Riza said unexpectedly behind the lemon-yellow blonde. Winry jumped slightly in surprise and turned to look at her close friend.
"Why's that Riza?" Winry asked curiously.
"For your strength. Not once has any one ever seen you break down and cry, just give up even though...even though you'll never see the brothers again. It was obvious to us all...maybe not Ed, but the rest of us. You loved him. You loved his brother too, but you loved Alphonse like a brother...Ed was something more." Riza said.
"Oh I don't know about-" Winry tried to argue but Riza cut her off.
"I know when I thought Mustang had died...I-I broke down. I just couldn't do it. I fell to my knees and gave up. The thought of never seeing him again was too much. He scolded me for it later, but just knowing that he was still alive then made me happier than ever." Riza admitted, fingering the thin gold band on her finger.
"Oh Riza." Winry said, tears were filling the young girl's blue eyes as she sat next to her friend. "Can't you see it's an act. Every night, unless someone is distracting me, I break down. I cry all the time I just never let anyone see it. I know I have to be strong but it's hard. I hide my feelings during the day, and then I let all of my barriers down at night." Winry replied, admitting something she was ashamed by just like Riza. Why did love always make life so hard? Riza wrapped the young girl in a hug, both of them trying not to cry, or rather Riza trying not to and Winry trying to stop. Little did they know, if they had turned around just then, and maybe if Winry had kept her light on just a little longer they would've seen four silhouettes in the night, coming towards the small yellow house so far out in the country.
"Oh look at us, we're acting like a couple of fools." Riza said, laughing. A small smile graced Winry's pale lips if only for a second.
"Yeah, crying won't do us any good and besides, we're supposed to be celebrating your engagement." Winry said with half-fake and half-real enthusiasm. Riza smiled.
"Well maybe that should wait till um...later. We really should get some sleep." Riza said looking at the clock to see that it was almost four in the morning. Winry sighed, but agreed and the two of them were about to lay down for bed when suddenly they were inturupted by banging on the door. The two girls looked at each other.
"Who in the world could that be?" Winry asked, inwardly flinching at the thought in the back of her mind warning her that maybe, just maybe the person wasn't from that world.
Winry went down stairs to see who it was, Riza close behind her gun in hand. After a few minutes and a few cuss words here and there Winry got the door unlocked in the darkness of her house. After opening the door there was just enough light from the moon shining down to illuminate the four people standing on the Rockbell's front porch. A boy, no man, with long golden hair and eyes to match, standing just slightly taller than both the boy who looked just like him and Winry. Behind the two were two girls. One had short golden hair with dark gold almost brown eyes. The second girl had a-little-longer-than-shoulder-length gold hair with the ends dyed black and two large golden eyes.
"E-Edward? Is that really you?" Winry asked in shock, not believing what she was seeing with her own eyes. All those all-nighters must be getting to her.
"Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's my name." He replied.
"What the hell are you doing here? You-You said it would be good-bye for good last time I saw you." Winry said, wide-eyed. Her knees were shaking and her whole body was trembling.
"What do you mean what am I doing here? Am I not welcome or something? Well, fine. Come on guys let's go find some where else to stay." Edward said, walking off the porch. About a foot away from the front steps Edward Elric felt a familiar sharp pain hit the back of his head. He turned back around, rubbing his head. At his feet lay a familiar silver wrench, the moon shining off it brightly. He looked back to the door way, about to yell at Winry for hitting him again, when Winry cut him off.
"Don't you ever leave me again, Edward Von Elric or it will be the last thing you do." Winry warned before the countless all-nighters and the shock she was going through caught up with her. She fainted.
"It feels like home already." the girl with the short blonde hair and dark gold eyes said, into the silent night as Edward, carefully picked up his childhood best friend, hoping for the life of him that his old auto-mail arm wouldn't give out on him, like it almost had earlier, right then, and Riza, dumbfounded, led them all into the house.
Devon: So how was that?
Jessie: We realize it's kind of short, yes.
Devon: But it's a good start in my opinion to where the story will lead.
Jessie: Devon do we even know that yet?
Devon: No, I don't actually think we do, but oh well.
Jessie: *shrugs* Well okay.
Devon: Thanks for reading!
Jessie: Please review!
D&J: And please stay tuned for another chapter coming up, hopefully, soon! ^.^
