Hello guys
This is my first attempt on writing a fullmetal alchemist fanfic.
EdXWin: Wow, that's one of my favourite pairings. :)
Btw, this story takes place 2 years after the movie, "Conqueror of shamballa".
Disclaimer: I do not own Fullmetal alchemist. Im sure everyone knows about this. Yea
Hope you guys like it! If you don't...Well...Just leave me a comment and I'll adjust it. :)
Also, please pardon me for the grammar and verb tenses mistakes. Yea. I suck at those :P
Okay, and here we go!
Winry: I better get back to granny before she gets mad!
Winry carried a bag of automail counterparts and dashed across the road. She was late for her appointment with a customer and has to hurry back fast.
Just then, a car sped towards her direction. All that followed was that sickening "thud". Winry breathe in her final breath and whispered weakly.
Winry: I can't die yet...I haven't seen him yet-
Her surroundings dimmed as the door opens; she was going through.
At our world
Edward and Al were on their way to work.
Edward: (In a "proud but trying not to be but still is" tone) Al, I'm getting a pay rise soon
Al: Really? That's great! So how much will it be?
Edward: (Stunned by the question) Ha- Ha- Haha. Ha. (Sighed) 50 Rentenmark... (Note: Rentenmark is the name of the german currency at that time)
Al: (Smiled in a awkward way) Well. That's a lot...I guess...
Edward: (sighed again) Yea. I think...
Al: Nii-san, your automail, is it still okay?
Edward: (smiled) Yea, I've got it from the best automail technician lady. Winry did a really good job in making them. I don't have to adjust the length on the leg because in this 2 years, I'm so glad I haven't grown- (Lets out a even heavier sigh) Well...Maybe not...
Al: Winry. I wonder how she's been all this years...Do you supposed she's already married?
Edward: (Heads down, thinking) I...hope not...Why does my heart hurt so much when I think about her marrying another guy? Okay, Edward Elric, you treat her like a sister and nothing more. NOTHING MORE! You hear! (finally looks at Al and spoke nonchalantly) Al, come on, think about it, who would want to marry a shrew?
Al: Nii-san, you love Winry, don't you?
Edward: (broke out in sweat) Wha? No! How can I like her? She's a shrew! Do you see the way she hits me with a spanner? She could kill me!
Al: (Narrowed his eyes and smiled evily) You know, Nii-san, you look really suspicious
Edward: (looked away, tried to focus on something else) Oh wow! Look at the time, we're late! Come on Al, let's hurry before we get late!
Edward starts running with Al calling from behind. He completely ignores him and continues running. Then, he ran past a lady. Her yellow hair flew behind her and he stopped.
Edward: Winry...?
Al: (Finally caught up) Nii-san! Why did you run?! (found him in a daze) Nii-san?
Edward: Al, wait here! (Ran after the lady and pulled her) Winry! Is that you?
The lady turned and to his disappointment, it wasn't her. Her hair was similar though.
Edward: Sorry Miss, I made a mistake.
The lady glared and him and gave him a "Humph". Then she walked off.
Al: Nii-san (Placed a hand on Edward's shoulder) You must really miss Winry a lot huh.
Edward: (Looks forlorn) I suppose that's the case...I mean she's our childhood friend after all and also my technician, so being concern about her is no big deal. (looks a Al now in a daze) Al? You with me?
Al: Nii-san, look. (Pointed in front of him) Winry.
Edward turned his head in his fastest speed and spotted her. She was standing there with another man, her hair was the same old colour but combed in a rather different way. Seems that she had grown a few inches too.
Edward, being shocked and all, suddenly pulled Al and asked.
Edward: Al, tell me I ain't dreaming
Al: You ain't, Nii-san. Look! She's looking in our direction!
Edward looked back and to his surprise, she gleamed.
Edward: (Thinking) She must had recognised us. (smack his head) How could she not? Man, am I dumb! (waved to her and dashed towards her)
Winry: Hey! I know you!
Edward: (thinking) Of course you know, that was a dumb thing to say
Winry: You're that machine guy that everyone's been talking about!
Edward fell to the ground.
Edward: (Thinking) Wha? Machine guy? Is this woman trying to kid me? (got up to his feet and smiled to Winry) You must be joking, right?
Winry: Nope, I ain't. You're quite popular, you know.
Edward: Do you know who I am?
Winry: Of course I know you! Didn't I say? The machine guy?
Edward: Huh? (Thinking) Okay, this woman is obviously fakin' it. (Spoke) So what is my name?
Winry: Er...Ed...Ed...
Edward: (Thinking) Yes? Yes?
Winry: Edwin?
Edward fell to the ground once again.
Edward: I'm Edward! Okay Winry, stop messing around. It's getting really annoying. Seriously.
Winry: What are you talking about? And how do you know my name?
Edward: Of course I know your name, you're my childhood friend cum technician. How could I not know?
Winry: People say that you're cool but I think you're just plain weird
Edward: (Teeth gritting) What did you say? Weird?! You're the one who's been acting weird!
Winry: Mister, how could you speak in that kind of tone with someone you have just met? You're really rude, you know
Edward: (Angry) What-
Al: (Pulled Edward away) Nii-san, stop (smiled to Winry and whispered to Edward) I think she really have no idea who we are
Edward: (whispered back) No, Al, you're too naive. She's obviously fakin' it. Let me question her more and she'll eventually give up.
Winry: (Whispered to the guy beside her) He's really weird...
The guy nodded.
Edward: Okay! Winry. Are you Winry Rockbell?
Winry: Yes, how did you know?
Edward: (smiled proudly at Al) I knew it. You're Winry. You are her. Come on, just stop it will ya. Stop that you can't recognise us.
Winry: What? Okay, look. I have no time to listen to you crap. I have a date. (pulled the hand of the guy beside her) Let's go Rick.
Edward: (Went in front of them) Wait! Winry. Who is this guy?
Winry: He's my finance but is it any of your business?
Edward: (Eyes twitched, thinking) Fi-Fi-Fiance??? She has a fiance? What? Why? AH! (Spoke and pointed at the guy) Why him?! I always thought you have better taste than that!
Winry: What?! Hey, look, Mister. I don't want to be questioned about my taste especially by someone who is weird and SHORT!
Edward: (Steam in his head) SHORT??? What did you just call me??? SHORT????
Winry: Did the milk factory blow up so you couldn't grow?
Edward: What??? This is the last straw. If you don't stop fakin' it, I'll do something so bad to- Er- (Looks at her fiance) Your fiance!
Winry: Are you crazy???
Edward: (let out a evil laugh) Scared now eh? Better confess!
Winry: For the last time. I have no idea what you are talking about!
Edward: (Got ready his fist) Okay, you ask for it. Come on, punk. Let's fight!
Al: (pulled Edward again) Nii-san, I think she really don't recognise us. I know it. Winry never jokes especially until this far.
Edward puts down his hand slowly and whispered.
Edward: Right...Winry never jokes...
Edward remained stoic, his heart ache and he looked up at Winry once more.
Edward: I'm sorry Miss, you just reminded me of someone who is really dear to me. Goodbye now.
With that, he walked off.
Winry: (looked at Al) Is he going to be alright? He seems really upset
Al: He'll be fine. Erm Winry, I mean, Miss Winry, you sure you don't know us?
Winry: Besides the fact that he is the popular machine boy, nope.
Al: Okay...Sorry for the time. I have to go now, bye.
Winry: (Smiled) Bye.
Al: (thinking) Smiles like her, looks like her and even behaves like her. How can they not be the same person?
Winry looks at Rick and gleamed.
Winry: So, where are we going next?
At Edward's workplace
Edward couldn't concentrate a bit on his work.
How can she not know me...We used to be so close...
*Slam*
This table was once again filled with documents.
Boss: Mr Elric, I want them in by 3 in the afternoon, got it?
Edward: Yes boss, got it.
Edward let out a sigh after the boss left. He finally started his work but still, all he could think of is Winry, Winry, Winry and Er Winry.
After work
On his way home, Edward gently massage his shoulder; his shoulder was aching from all the work. When he was finally home, he went to his bedroom and locked himself.
He took out a picture of him, Al and Winry which he had begged Al to give it to him, and looked at them, like he had never looked before.
He unknowingly touched the face of Winry in the photo and smiled.
Winry...How have you been?
How is it? I hope it's fine. Here this is the first chapter. I'll update if I have 3 reviews:)
Thanks for reading if you're reading:)
