A/N: Oh I'm terribly sorry for the late update. I was really working on some school homework and I was trying to make it to the top 10, lol. But unfortunately, I was unlucky. I guess I should just push myself even more this coming third semester. Anyway, I am also terribly sorry for my grammar in the first Chap. of the story. I was...not reading much LOL. But I really have to thank some authors for their extremely long stories 'cause I was surprised to find out that my grammar actually improved. Well, I feel guilty for the late update *cries* *runsandhidesonbush*

Please Read & Review!

Winry POV

2 Year have passed since Edward and Alphonse left for the Promised Day. It wasn't quite long 'till I got used to living alone. 'What ever happened to Granny Pinako?' you may ask. Well, she passed away about a month ago 'cause she was sick. She's old and I guess her time came, but really...I miss her soo much. Anyway, I've heard rumors about Ed nd Al...people said that they risked their lives for all of us and were never coming back. I didn't believe that rumor. Edward promised me that's he and Al would come home safe the last time. But I'm starting to doubt that...I just hope that both of them are alright...

It was early in the morning when I heard the doorbell rang. I was too lazy to get out of bed. I pulled in an all-nighter for a customer the other day and I slept late again last night cause I was walking out at night before going to bed. Anyway, I forced myself up. Ignoring my complaints. I tied my hair up, wore my bandana and I put on some random clothes-I was sleepy so I didn't get to pick one right. I slapped myself inwardly for the mistake.

I opened the door drowsily and I was surprised to see who it was. It was a person(specifically a girl) from the military. It had been quite a while since they visited me. Anyway, she was tall, well dressed, and her hair was blonde which was tied up. It was Riza Hawkeye. Gosh, did she look the same.

"Winry! It's been a while!" Riza smiled.

"Riza! Yeah it has! What are you doing here? How are you? What's up with the military right now? I haven't heard much." It's true. I lived in a rural town, unable to travel around the country 'cause no one would be there to watch the house for me and besides, if Ed and Al came home when I wasn't home, what would they think?

"Nothing much really. I just wanted to see how you were doing. I have my day off today so, I knew you were the only one in town right now. So-"

"Wait, where's the Colonel?" I asked. All to curious. I needed to know whether or not the Colonel came back safe and if it meant Ed and Al were safe.

"He's in his office. Why?" she cocked an eyebrow

"Nothing. I was just wondering..."

"If Ed and Al were there? No. No one has really heard from them yet. Although I do recall the Colonel trying to ignore my questions concerning the Elrics. He's hiding something, that's what I know." She told me. I got ever more curious

Riza's POV

I could tell she was worried. Her face told me everything. She was frustrated, angry, sad and worried. We had a silent moment until I broke the silence.

"Umm...may I come in?"

"O-OH SURE! I'm so sorry!" She said. She seemed flustered and she was lost in thought. I understood her fully well. As I walked in, she went to the kitchen to ready some tea. As she did so, I heard some glass shatter to the ground and I heard her curse. I sighed. After a while, she came up to me holding a cup of tea. I gently took it from her and took a sip.

"Were you doing something else earlier, Winry? I'm terribly sorry if I woke you up or anything." I told her, quite concerned.

"Well I was sleeping. Oh don't apologize! I needed to wake up anyway, otherwise I would have been in bed for the whole day. Anyway, what are you doing here anyway? I know I asked you this earlier but I just wanted to know. You know..." She asked me.

"Well, I just wondered if it would be alright with you if we go bonding together today. It has been a while since we've seen each other." I told her, hoping to cheer her up. She looked quite worried and lost in thought and that had to go away for a while. She needs some rest from everything.

"Really? Of course, Riza! It has been quite a long time! But there's just one problem.." She told me slightly worried about something.

"What may that problem be?"

"Well, no one's gonna be home to watch the house for me...and I've heard that there have been some robbing lately over town. So...yeahh...". I wondered where her Grandma went. She was always with her here.

"Where's you grandmother? I thought she was here living with you?" I asked.

"Well, she passed away 2 months ago. She had a very high fever and I really guess her time came...and besides, if she were still alive and the house was robbed, I don't think she'll be able to fend them off herself. She's old and she might've even got her because of them." I was surprised about the news. Well, she was alone and no one was there to comfort her. I knew I should have been here for her earlier, but I guess I was just 2 months late. Besides, she couldn't even leave her home for some kind of trip or vacation. I definetly had to do something for her and luckily, I had an idea.

"Hmm...How about this, Winry...I'll call in some people from the military who are also on their vacation to come and watch your house for you. That way, we can go out together and have fun today. What do you say?" I suggested. I saw a smile creep up her face as I told her the idea that came in mind. She nodded in agreement and I smiled at her back. I got up and picked up my phone and immediatly called on about 4-5 people to watch over her house. Winry went upstairs to get ready.

When I finished calling, Winry walked down the stairs wearing a smile. She was ready to go. I was really happy to see her like this and I'm glad I came over to come and relax with her.

"Calm down, Winry. The people haven't even arrived yet." I chuckled.

"I'm sorry. It's just that I haven't been outside of the house in quite a while. I was always doing some customer work so, I guess I miss just miss the outside world."

"It's alright, you don't need to apologize." I reassured her

Winry's POV

"It's alright, you don't need to apologize." She reassured me. I was really glad that Riza came over. I finally had the chance to get away from work and from home for a while. She told me that we'd be going to soo many places today that I and she have never seen before. So, I can certainly tell that this is going to be a fun day.

We heard the doorbell rang and Riza went over to open it. She smiled as she thanked the people who came over to watch my house for me to come over and do what she had asked. Once they all got in, Riza and I left and got in her car.

"Riza, which place do we go first?" I asked.

"Well, I think you will know when we get there." She looked back at me with a smile.

"Hahaha! Okay then!" We both laughed as we headed to our destination

Okay, well I think I have writer's block right now. So, I guess once I take a nap and wake up tomorrow, I might have an idea of what's next. Anyway, I'm also terribly sorry that there isn't any Edward and Winry moment here rightn now. I have a story I'm following and I'm currently trying to keep the most exciting parts of it quite surprising. Anyway, I'll definitely continue this. And to RenofAmestris, thank you so much for reminding me of this fanfiction. I really had to finish this. I completely forgot that I had a fanfiction waiting to be completed. But of course, I also thank you for enjoying the story. Please, look forward to more. :)

Please Review!
