Chapter One
"Winry you stop hitting Ed this instant!" Roy yelled at the petite blond. Their constant arguing was about to drive him insane. Really, Ed and Winry are sixteen years old. I shouldn't have to break up these petty fights, he thought. "If you don't I will turn this car around and none of us will ever go to Disneyworld. If I have to stop driving and pull over because of you two brats I'm gonna be pissed." Of course this threat didn't convince Winry to stop. All of Roy and Riza's adoptive kids, with the exception of Alphonse, seemed to take delight in doing the exact opposite of what their father said. So she just kept hitting him continually.
" I told you that fat joke would make her angry, Brother," commented Alphonse. Edward's screeches of pain grew louder and louder with every hit. The bickering between the childhood freinds had become louder then the radio so Riza decided it was time to step in since Roy's protests seemed to only fuel the fight. She snatched the hardback book out of Winry's hand and turned back to glare at the three siblings.
"Now all three of you are going to be on your best behavior for the rest of this trip. First, Ed, you know when you say things like that to your sister she's going to hit you. So think next time." Winry smiled the whole time he was being reprimanded. "Second, Winry, next time your brother wants to be a moron let him. He'll stop saying dumb things if he can't get a rise out of you. And Alphonse, don't let them kill each other please." she turned around as she finished her last statement, reclined the front passenger seat all the way back, and closed her eyes.
"Are we there yet?" Edward asked. Roy just ignored him in the hopes he'd be distracted by something shiny outside the window. Unfortunately, Roy had no such luck. " Hey, when are we getting there?" he asked while poking the half asleep man to get his attention. When he continued to be ignored he decided to just keep getting more obnoxious until he got a response. " Did you hear me old man? I said when are we getting there?" At this Roy pulled to the side of the road and he lunged for Ed.
"We will get there whenever the hell we get there! Maybe it'll be tomorrow. Maybe it'll be tonight. It might even be next week if we keep having to stop for your stupid bullshit!"
Riza thought now would be the perfect time to share the good news. "Actually, we're only about an hour away" she announced. The whole car erupted into cheering within mere seconds.
Edward stepped out of the vehicle into Orlando's blistering hot June sun. He resolved to take off his bright red jacket left over from his real father before he had abandoned his dying wife and sons in Reesombol. Ed realized it would look not only ridiculous, but childish to insist on wearing the memento in this heavy humidity. So he stuffed on top of the pile in his already over flowing duffel bag and followed behind Roy to their hotel room.
Winry jumped down onto the king sized bed as soon a she set eyes on it. Lying spread eagle to take as much space as her small frame could, she claimed the largest bed as her own. " What!" Al exclaimed. " I kinda wanted that bed and I should get it sense I'm the biggest."
Ed's ears perked up at hearing the word biggest. "Are you trying to make fun of my height again?" he whined.
" Weren't you kids best freinds when you were little? You guys should learn to compromise," suggested Riza.
" How about you and Ed take it tonight and I'll get it tomorrow,"said Winry.
"Now you kids need to get cleaned up. We're meeting Izumi in an hour for dinner," announced Roy.
