The Very Beginning

The blonde girl was miserable. She sat on the front porch of her old home, her young dog named Den in her hands as tears flowed down from her bright blue eyes to her rosy cheeks. Why had this happened? She wrapped her arms tightly around the warm dog and sniffled.

First mom and dad... and now Edward and Alphonse? Whose next, grannie Pinako?

She felt herself grow colder at the thought of losing the only relative she had left. She couldn't live without her dear old Grandmother who had helped her get over her parents death, and even now her grandmother had tried coaxing the young blonde to calm down as two more important people in her life left.

Ed and Al had been her best friends, and after their mother died... Things went downhill. Their mother was beautiful, and Winry could say that she had admired their mother, she was strong, from what Granny had told her. Winry wasn't quite sure why that was until she was much older than now, but as for this moment she took her Granny's word for everything.

As she tried to pull herself back together, the old woman entered the front porch, a pipe tucked neatly away between her lips as she stood beside the cry girl who was neatly sitting on the bench swing.

Things were silent between the two as Winry sniffled and sobbed her heart out, mourning over the leaving of two more important people.

"You know..." Granny Pinako had started, pulling the pipe from her mouth and staring out into the distance. "You remind me quite a bit of your mother, Winry."

The words stunned the young girl and she immediately rose her head to look over at her grandmother.

"I-I do?"

"You do. She'd get exactly as emotional as you if two people she cared deeply for had left. But you know what your mother did until they returned?"

Winry listened with interest. She hadn't known too much about her mother, but then again what kid does?

"What would she do?" The blonde asked hesitantly, Den reaching up and licking the tears away from the female's cheeks.

"Your mother would see it as a new beginning, another chapter to write about in her journal. She would wait, and have hope that one day her loved ones would return to her." Granny Pinako said, finally looking over at Winry.

Winry took these words to heart. Her grandmother was absolutely right... She shouldn't be sorrowful over her friends starting their own adventure, she should be happy for them, and use her energy to succeed in other things other than crying.

"I remember when your father was sent a few towns over as a surgeon needed in the line of duty, your mother had to be left behind due to her pregnancy with you. She was sad at first, but she picked herself up and everyday I saw her in the kitchen, scribbling away in her journal, knowing that it was for the best to have been left here in this house."

"She had hope, and that paid off the day your father had come home. It was a beautiful reunion, and not long afterward you were born." Granny Pinako had finished, taking her pipe to her lips again. "Your mother was a beautiful woman, and I'm sure when you grow up Winry, you'll be just like her."

Winry stiffened a bit at those words. Granny left the girl outside by herself for a few minutes until she came in. She didn't say anything to the old woman and instead the young girl headed upstairs to her room.

A few days later, Pinako had seen Winry, scribbling away in a journal at the kitchen table.
