Sorry for not updating Broken Hearted Disease in a while. I promise, after this story, the chapters will come flooding in. I have them written, I just have to post them. Anyway, on with this story.

I don't own Fullmetal Alchemist or the Characters

Home For the Holidays

The snow blanketed over the once green hills of Risembool as December was coming to an end. Christmas was only a few days away and Winry would be spending it with her grandmother.

She smiled sadly at the thought of it. She really did enjoy the time that she spent with Granny Pinako, but it was one of the many Christmas's that Ed and AL wouldn't be home. Gift exchanging was extremely short and the dinner that they ate was nothing more than what they usually ate.

The chilling wind sent shivers through the teenage girl's frame as she creaked the door open, seeing the conditions that her Granny would have to face as she went to town to get a few parts that were delivered. Winry had insisted on going for her, but Pinako wouldn't have it, saying that it wasn't all that bad and Winry had to stay behind to shovel the walk a bit anyway so that any customers that came in for an emergency visit could get there easily.

She closed the door to prevent letting the heat out of the house. Just as she turned around, her Grandmother was there putting her coat on.

"Grandma, just let me do this for you," she pleaded, stepping in front of the door slightly. Pinako gave her a stern look before shaking her head and thrusting the shovel at her that had been leaning against the wall. Winry sighed and put her coat on as well, setting the shovel down momentarily.

"I'll be back in an hour or so," the old woman told Winry, stepping outside with her following. With that, Pinako was off.

Winry visibly slumped over, leaning on the shovel that was wedged into the snow that was almost a foot deep. She had never seen this much snow in her quaint rural town. It was so beautiful, but even that site couldn't do anything to cheer her up. Closing her eyes for a moment, she heaved a sigh and began her work. There was quite a walkway to be shoveled.
