Buhahaha, Im mad at the writers of FMA for never putting in one of the shows, or even the manga, how Den, Winry's dog with an auto-mail leg, actualy got his auto-mail leg. So I wrote a Fanfic about it Don't laugh, because it was the first ever fanfic I wrote. It was a looong time ago, too XD I was just bored and decided to resurect it...Have fun reading, please review.

In the beautiful village of Rizenbul stood the small Rockbell residence. It was a quant little home which housed only three occupants; Auntie, a short old auto-mail engineer with grey hair, Winry, a pretty young girl with a love for mechanics, and Den, Winry's loveable black and white dog.

Winry spent most of her time either tinkering with machines or playing with Den, ever sense her two best friends, Edward and Alphonse Elric, had gone off to re-learn Alchemy.

It was a time of Alchemy exploration. The war in Ishbail had ended, and State Alchemist had time to research and experiment with new alchemic defenses for the military. Among these new experiments were the creation of Red Stones, imitations of the Philosopher's Stone, and Chimera experimentation. Chimeras were theoretical alchemically fused animals. Two animals were taken and then fused into one with alchemy to create one new, supernatural animal.

Some alchemists such as Basque Gran the Iron Blood Alchemist and Shou Tucker the Sewing Life Alchemist believed that the creation of Chimeras would benefit the military. Other than the work of The Sewing Life Alchemist, there was no other military funded chimera experimentation. Few not under the State's employment dared mess with chimera transmutation attempts.

Winry knew little about Chimeras and military advancements, nor did she care. He parents were doctors who served as medics during the Ishbail Revolts, and had been killed while working for the military. Winry preferred to ignore people when they talked about the military.

Winry was outside throwing a stick for Den to fetch, when she heard the train's whistle blow. The 11 o'clock to Rizenbul had just arrived, but who would be getting off at her little hometown, she didn't know. Not many people came on vacation here, and her hopes rose. Perhaps it would be Ed and Al returning from Alchemy training! She ran to the top of the hill with Den trotting at her side. From that hill, she could see all of Rizenbul, the train station was just a little off the east. She strained her eyes as she looked for the passengers leaving the train. They were far off, but she could tell there were two of them. But they were too tall to be Ed and Al, one seemed to be waring a skirt.

She sighed, and with a heavy heart she walked back down the hill to he front yard to continue playing with Den. A while passed, and Den started to bark. Winry looked down the path and saw the two passengers she had seen earlier walking towards her house. Within moments there were standing in front of the Rockbell residence smiling at Winry.

"Hello. How are you?" Asked one of them. He was a tall, pale man with long, shaggy black hair and baggy pants. Despite his menacing appearance, he has smiling and waving happily at Winry.

"Im fine, how are you? I saw you get off the train, was your trip ok? Why are you visiting Rizenbul? We don't get many vacationers." Winry asked. She hadn't had any one to talk to in a long time except for Auntie and Den.

"So many question, little one!" laughed the second person. She was also pale and had long black hair. She wasn't as scary looking as the man, but she still looked as if she could use more sun.

"Im sorry, are you looking for someone?" Winry said.

Den growled as he sniffed the pair. The man tried to pat him on the head, but Den snapped at his hand and barked.

"Nice dog..." smirked the man.

"Oh, Im so sorry!" Winry said as she tugged on Den's collar. "He is never like that to strangers."

"Well I don't think he would like people like us anyway." said the lady. Winry gave her an inquisitive look and she replied "We are veterinarians."

"Oh! Really? Is that why you have come?" Winry said happily.

"Yes..." Siad the man, still staring at Den. "We've bought a warehouse, and are going to start a clinic for animals in a few months." He bent down to that he was eye level with the still growling Den. "He looks healthy, and young. Just the sort of patients we want."

The man was odd. He seemed very interested in Den, despite Den's refusal to welcome him into the Rockbell yard. The woman gave a little "ehem" and the man straitened back up.

"If we continue to take this road, will we come into the main shops of the village?" Asked the woman with less enthusiasm in her voice.

"Yea! It takes about 15 more minuets to get there. I'll be sure to schedule Den an appointment when your clinic opens!" Winry said as they started to walk away.

"Thank you, little one." Said the lady. Winry watched them walk back the road. They were talking to each other and casting glances back at Den.
