Hello everyone! So this is my first FMA fanfic. I can proudly say I've watched all episodes and movies that exist for FMA at this point in time in order to write this story proficiently. If I do make misspellings, I apologize for I've seen many different ways to spell some of the cities. You will find some slight modern add-ins in this story, but not so much as to ruin it. Hope you enjoy!

Chapter One: Childhood Dreams

The mechanic stretched and allowed a yawn to escape from her lips. She glanced at the clock across her garage and sighed. "Almost seven," she muttered to herself, stepping back to admire her 12 hours days' work. In front of her sat a fire engine red '67 chevelle looking as if it just came out of the factory with its brand new paint job and extra careful tune up. "Well, Sasha, that's all for today," Winry spoke to the inanimate object, turning out the lights in her garage and making way into her house. Upon arrival, she was attacked by a large fuzzy creature.

"Okay, Den, okay," she laughed at the dog licking her face affectionately. "It's good to see you too." She placed a kiss on his head and headed into the kitchen. "Hungry, boy?" she asked, receiving a bark in reply while she took a can of dog food out of the cupboard and poured it into a bowl. "Boun appetite," she said light-heartedly, placing the bowl of food in front of him. She watched the animal lap up his dinner for a moment before deciding the she should probably shower after being covered in grease all day.

She made her way upstairs and into her bedroom, grabbing a pair of sweat pants and a sports bra. Once in the bathroom she turned on the water and quickly shed her clothes, throwing them into the hamper. She stepped cautiously into the shower, hoping that the water had warmed. To her delight it had heated up quickly and she stood under the warmth of the small man-made waterfall, allowing the water to wash away all the dirt and grime from her body after a long day working in the garage. After scrubbing her hair and body clean, she jumped out of the shower and began to dress. She grabbed a nearby brush and quickly took out any unwanted tangles and knots. She glanced herself over in the mirror and sighed, heading out of the bathroom and back to her bedroom where Den waited for her patiently.

"Hey, boy," she said tiredly, with a small smile. She walked over to her balconys' entrance and opened up the glass french doors. Den followed her happily out into the cool summer evening air. Winry leaned against the railing, overlooking the view of the ocean with sad eyes. She stared out at Castle Hill, a little island that sat a few miles offshore from her house. She saw a few lights flicker on in the castle-like mansion that resided there and wondered if the owner ever got lonely. Winry knew what it was like to feel lonely. She sighed, thinking of her Granny who had recently passed away a little more than six months ago. She missed her dearly after Pinako had been there raising her since her birth. Granny and Roy, her best friend since childhood, had been the only people that mattered in her life since her parents' death at her age of twelve. Last she heard from Roy was a letter saying that he was near the boarders of Drakmar aiding his friend Ling's search for the key to immortality. "Immortality," she quietly snickered to herself. Winry knew there was no such thing, for if there were she would've set off to find it years ago, before her parents had been murdered…

She let out another sigh as her thoughts drifted back to Roy's letter, remembering him saying that he'll be coming back to Resinbol in a few weeks to see how his car was coming along. Winry smiled at that thought; she missed her friend while he was away on his adventures. "An adventure, Den," she sighed dreamily, the dog stared and cocked his head in response. "one day maybe I'll get to have an adventure of my own." Her gaze fell back to the mansion across the way, watching as it fell into darkness with the exception of the few twinkling window lights as the sun fell behind the horizon.

"Maybe even live in a mansion ourselves," she told the happy dog as he watched his owner stare dreamily out into the night. "One day…"

Little did she know, 'one day' would be there sooner than she thought.

A golden haired young man stood at the window of his study, staring out into the night at the small town of Resinbol across the water. 'His town', as he liked to think of it; every humans' life belonging to him. He gazed with interest at the house by the shore directly across from his home as the last remaining light went out in the home.

"Young master?" a voice interrupted his thoughts.

"I find myself bored, Miss Riza," he explained to his servant.

"Is there any way I could be of service?" the servant, Riza, questioned.

"Prepare one of the extra rooms. I believe we're about to acquire a new guest."

"Of course, Master Elric," Riza bowed, exiting the room and leaving the eldest Elric to his thoughts.

'It's been a while since I had a bit of fun' Edward thought to himself, a smirk appearing on his features.
