Okay, here and now I give you permission to never read my fics again/kill me for doing this one. Its a song fic and for the love of all that is Holy its been done to death. Even worse I'm not even making it a one shot, its going to be at least three chapters long. Its based on the song 'Everytime' by Britney Spears. I make stories to songs in my head, its sad but its what I do.

Movie spoilers If you already know what happens in the film you are safe, if not and you don't want to run far away. This first chapter has none of the song lyrics in it as this is setting up events to come. FMA and all the characters are not mine.

Although she had been waiting for two years to see him again she had almost fallen into a state of shock when she saw his form sprawled on the floor. The past hour of her life had been the most rushed she had been in a good long while. Determined as she was to find Al she had not expected an earthquake to occur while she was within the ground. Both she and Shezka had fallen from a great height but had luckily fallen on something soft enough to stop either of them being seriously hurt.

She could tell the moment she got to her feet Al had to be somewhere. The familiar glow of alchemy seemed to be everywhere and she strained to see where it was specifically coming from. If only she knew better she would have believed it was Edward, showing off as he loved to do.

The underground city was amazing in itself let alone when it was crumbling about their ears. She was not afraid for her own life but she was for her precious cargo. Only she knew what was held within her rather heavy suitcase and until the time came to open it that was how it would remain. Holding it close to her she and Shezka carried on walking. Winry had a task to complete and she would not be beaten back by the fearful situation she was in.

'Winry, look!' Shezka suddenly cried out as she pointed toward the sky. Winry looked to where Shezka was pointing and she finally saw where the glow was coming from. An alchemy circle shone as bright as the sun and from it came a machine they had never seen before.

With adrenaline and curiosity burning with in her Winry ran closer to the spectacle. Out of the alchemy circle came flying a machine not known to their world. It was a great hulking mass of metal that roared through the air with thundering noises.

'Don't you like that sort of thing?' Shezka asked.

Winry frowned at this question, 'Its not artistic,' she snapped but it was only to cover how interested she really was. It was a guilt of an interest for her gut told her whatever this thing was it was a danger. Al had already been in battle with men that had come through a gate much like this and what she could see was a sure sign they had returned with more firepower.

'Winry,' came a cry from a young voice. She turned to see the red cloak billowing behind Al as it had once done Ed. She was relieved to see him and yet angry with him all the same. He had come to this place to try and get his brother back without even telling her that was what he was doing. She wanted to scream that he was not the only one who wanted Ed back but now was not the time. Also she hated the look of pity Shezka gave her whenever she mentioned Ed's name. Shezka did not hold as much belief that Edward would return but then she did not understand alchemy as well as she might.

'Al,' she sighed as he reached them, 'What are these things?'

'I brought them over,' he growled.

She turned to look at him and saw the fear and guilt within his eyes. She did not know what he could be talking about for another scream from Shezka pulled all train of thought away from Al. She saw another flying machine, much smaller then the previous, begin to fall from the sky. Awestruck she barely flinched as it smashed into a few roofs causing more of the ever aging city to fall. Following its descent the all watched it finally crash to the ground and skid for some time before smashing into a wall.

All too shocked to say anything to each other Winry was first to notice the figure on the floor. Through the smoke of the crash she could not see him clearly but something in her heart began to come to life. As the smoke finally cleared itself she saw the figure in a clearer view. Once she had seen the rare golden hair she dropped her suitcase and walked over to the body with no hesitation. She had waited for this meeting for so long yet she had no idea what to say or do.

Seeing him stir she did not come any closer and he didn't seem to have detected her presence. Since her brain had ceased to work she followed what her heart told her to say.

'Ed,' she quietly called.

He jerked and slowly raised his eyes to focus on her. The moment they focused on each other and she knew it was him she welled up with tears of joy, 'and where have you been?'

She barely let him speak her name before she threw herself into him. She hadn't hugged him for so many years, not since they were very young children. But something buried deep within her drove her to such a rash act.

'Welcome home,' she managed to whisper with great ability at hiding her tears. She waited another few moments to see if he would return the embrace but with a heavy heart she finally let him go. Swept up in the moment she completely forgot that Ed would want to be with his brother above anything. She heard Shezka and Al run up behind her, she heard them greet him but she did not tear her eyes off Ed. They were all distracted by the flying machines once again and Al suddenly ran off to follow them.

Perhaps Winry should have known better but their lack of affection took her by surprise. However she was not surprised when Ed got up to chase after Al his leg failed him. With a sigh she retrieved her heavy suitcase and placed it down next to him with a mutter of 'honestly'. She flipped open the lid to reveal the most perfect auto-mail arm and leg she had ever created. They had taken her months to complete but the look on Ed and Shezka's face made it all worth while.

'But Winry, I've grown.'

She avoided the urge to say anything about his height but proceeded to remove the arm and show it to him, 'Who do you think I am?'

He laughed and took a look for himself before she proceeded to remove the other limbs. Shezka who was never any good at coping with the squeamish things in life took her leave for a while.
