A/N: New chapter! Have fun!


"I'm growing, I swear. It's just that he's addicted to short jokes. It's ridiculous.", Ed ranted to Winry as they made their way back toward her temporary workroom, "Who does he even think he is?"

"He is technically your superior," Winry replied, a bit used to this particular rant.

"Look at him!" Ed grumbled. "I'm just a sad, lonely man with intestinal problems!" he cried in what Winry thought to be his whiniest tone of voice in an effort to imitate the Colonel as ridiculously as possible.

"How do you know he's lonely?" Winry asked as she tried to stifle her laughter, "I mean he apparently goes on all sorts of dates."

"If you'd ever been in the room with the Lieutenant out and Hughes talking to him you'd know. It's very painfully obvious."

"If you say so."

"There was this one time when Hughes just burst in and started talking about his daughter and wife to the Colonel. Once he noticed the fact the Lieutenant wasn't in there he started tearing into the Colonel about how he needed to make a move or something. I don't think I've ever seen the Colonel so embarrassed. It was great."

They had gotten to Winry's workroom, where metal pieces shavings were strewn everywhere, and yet, Winry seemed perfectly devoid of any metal shavings or anything else remotely associated with metal. Ed seemed to forget about the various jabs at his height as he recounted in more detail the story and how embarrassed the Colonel had looked.
