Chapter 2: Uninvited Guests
After the surprise party fiasco, Al and I decided to take a break and visit Granny and Winry. Al was outside probably looking for stray cats, Granny was fixing someone's automail, Winry was taking a shower, and I was sleeping on the couch. I was dreaming about being taller than everyone and going around asking people, how's the weather down there? It was awesome!
I was awakened from extracting revenge on Col. bastard and his short jokes when a scream came from upstairs. "WINRY!" I ran up the stairs expecting the worst. Could Scar have followed us, or worse, the Homunculi?
"Edward! Help me!" I ran into the bathroom and see Winry, haphazardly wrapped in a towel trying to hold up the shower doors.
"What the HELL happened in here!?" She glared at me.
"Just try to put the doors back in place!" I grunted and took the weight of the doors. Damn! These things weigh a ton! How the heck did she knock them over? After much struggling, I pust the doors back in place.
"Okay, how did this happen?" Winry looked frightened. Oh god, I hope it wasn't Envy or Greed!
"I was about to get out when a giant... THING flew at me! I was startled and screamed, pushing the doors over in my haste to escape! Ed, you need to kill it!" I nodded and peered into the shower to see what could have freaked Winry out so much.
"HOLY SHIT! THAT"S A BIG BUG!" Winry tore out of the bathroom and I transmuted my automail blade. I went in for the kill.
This thing must be some new homunculus bug, because it took forever to kill! I swear, I must have killed it twelve times before it finally stayed dead. That thing was a monstrosity. I would have freaked out too!
"Winry, it's dead now." She looked up, still wrapped in her towel and gave me a hug.
"I was so scared! I didn't even have my wrench to protect me!" I held her and she finally let go. "Thank you..." She blushed and walked to her room to get dressed. Exauhsted, I went back down to dream on the couch. For Winry, I would do that again 1,000 times over.
Especially dressed like that.
A/N: Surprises was supposed to be a one-shot, but I had to add this! It fit so perfectly with the title! The idea for this story came to me last night. The same thing happened to me when I was in the shower! My Dad and brother both had to try to put the doors back and my brother said that bug took twelve hits just to kill! Ed had some dirty thoughts at the end, but he IS a 15-year-old boy. I hope this doesn't happen to any of you! The doors really ARE heavy! LOL!
