A/N: I know, I know. I really wanted to write a Christmas story. I have a busy schedule so drabbles it is! Let's see how many I can come up with before December 20th.
This is set after the Baschool incident but before the Promised Day.
Enjoy!
Pinako slowly bends in front of the electric outlet. She grabs the cord and plugs it in. She turns her head slightly to the right and sees how the Christmas tree suddenly comes to life. After all these years her mouth still curled upwards as she admires her impeccably adorned tree.
"Winry! Winry! Come over and see the tree!" She called out but only received Den's barking as an answer. She remembers that her grandaughter was doing some maintenance on the Brat over at Ft. Briggs. She feels slightly embarrassed due to the fact that her mind was starting to slip but quickly set those feelings aside. She was a Rockbell after all and Rockbell's don't go moping around, even for the simplest things. She was going to spend Christmas alone, big deal. The old woman looks out the window and sees Den poking her nose into the cold window. She cackles as she walks towards the front door.
"The hell I'm spending the Holidays alone! I have the perfect companion right here. Isn't that right Den?" She says as she rubs the dog's head with fervor. "Now let's prepare a nice Christmas dinner for two. How about it girl?"
Den started going around in circles and happily barking just as if she understood every word that Pinako just said. The old woman and her faithful dog entered the kitchen where a delicious concoction of herbs and spices quickly warmed up the lonely home.
A/N: Why the need to finish before the 20th? Because it's the end of the world on the 21st! XD
