I looked over at big brother. "Was that…Winry?" I asked.

Edward looked toward the door. "Yep! Come on, Al, you want to see her, don't you?"

I smiled and nodded. "Yeah!" I followed him down stairs. I can't wait to see Winry again. I'm glad. But there's still things I don't know. I looked at brother, who was too busy thinking about food to notice me staring at him, and looked at his right arm. Why is it auto-mail? That's my question right now.

Chapter 3: A Few Visitors

We were walking down stairs, until I noticed the fluffy, orange cat walk behind me. That's a smart cat, knowing were to go for food, I thought. Edward noticed the stare I was giving the cat. He just chuckled,

"If you don't pay attention, you'll fall down the stairs."

I look forward and took his advice. "Oh, sorry, big brother," I apologized. I didn't want to break a bone or something right after brother "got me back", as he says. I stared ahead of me and threw a glanced towards Ed once in a while.

Once we got to the bottom of the stair case, I immediately saw Winry… or at least the person I thought was Winry.

A women, about sixteen, stood in front of the table. She had beautiful long lemon-colored blonde hair and lovely water-blue eyes, which stared at me with curiosity. Her smile - it was perfect - hid a bit of surprise in it. She also had a very beautiful blue dress with a pattern of bubbles floating in water. And she also wore matching blue shoes.

She smiled at me; for some reason, my eyes widened and I blushed. I didn't want anyone to see me blushing, so I bowed my head and let my short bangs try to cover it. I didn't seem to work. Ed noticed, but didn't do anything, only frown.

Finally, after a long silence, Edward spoke up, his voice filled with worry, "Al, you ok? You do know that is Winry, right?"

I looked over to Winry then to my big brother. I answered, "She looks like Winry…" I played with my finders and continued to stare at the wooden floor. Oh, there's a screw over there, I thought, looking to my right.

"Al, I am Winry!" I finally heard Winry say. She sounded cheerful. Real cheerful. It made me blush again. Ed noticed again. He frowned, and looked away.

There was a pause again. It almost frightened me there. I hope someone says som-

"Winry, have anything to eat?" Brother asked, interrupting. He smiled again, like there was never a silence or a worrying moment passing by. He put his hands behind his head and leaned forward waiting for a "yes" from Winry. I didn't know what that was all about, so I ignored it.

"Don't be so impatient, Ed!" Winry said to him, annoyed. "We're having stew tonight." Ed grinned, but Winry didn't seem to notice him showing off his teeth. She rolled her eyes and quietly turned to me. "Al, what would you like to eat?" she asked me softly.

Big brother frowned and started to play with his shirt.

I didn't notice him frown there, though. "Uh? Stew's fine, please," I replied, blushing once again. My face couldn't get any more red, I thought. Well, I thought wrong.

But, for some reason, Winry sadly smiled. She started to whisper. "You know…," she began. My brother and I waited for her. The silence was almost unbearable. To me, it felt as if it went on forever. Her eyes lock onto mine, as if I was the target for something terrifying and frightening. Brother sighed impatiently. He glared at the wall next to us and made a soft, odd noise. It almost sounded like a whimper. But it was so low that I couldn't completely tell. Oh, please let this pass quickly, my mind cried out. I looked away form Edward when Winry continued. "Remember when we were little?"

I nodded. My eyebrows knitted together in confusion.

Her eyes turned to the floor. Her eyes were filled with shame or…was that fear?

"I wanted to know if I could…you know, give you a hug?" her voice was weak but still was loud enough for everyone in the room to hear. Immediately after she said this, Winry tried to explain. "I mean, I never got to in, what, four, five years? We did it when we were little; when we saw each other everyday! S-so, I just thought…I mean, as friends. I gave Ed a hug" -Edward blushed and licked his lips nervously- "and maybe…well, it was only like say 'Hi, haven't seen you in ages!'. Like one of those hugs and-!"

"Winry!" I interrupted her, "That's okay. You can hug me." I laughed half-heartedly. I really just wanted to sit down and eat. My stomached was so empty, I could just eat a horse and there would still me room left over for more!

So she smiled and ran to me. She tackled me and squeezed the life out of me. I could barely breath. But, even though that was going on, I felt my face burn, as if I just put my face on a hot stove, without the terrible pain, of course.

What was wrong with me?

Slowly, without letting go of me, Winry guided me to the dinning table and sat me down. Carefully, she let me go and skipped to the kitchen, humming. I could hear the rattle of the pans and cups and plates in the kitchen. What on earth would she be cooking to make that much noise?

She hasn't changed a bit from when we were little kid!

Not a bit…

Why?

I could hear Winry scream, "Ah! My wrench!" from the kitchen. I chuckled and pictured her with a pan in one hand and a wrench in the other. Now that I mention it, what about Brother's auto-mail? What? Wait-?

Where is Edward?

I didn't see him follow us to the kitchen. I wonder why?

As if on cue, Ed came into view.

"Ah! Brother, where-?" I was interrupted. Interrupted by "Winry the Great" herself. I blushed and covered my mouth with a napkin I found on the table. W-what was I saying?

"Okay! I got the stew. Sit your ass on a chair or you won't get any!" she ordered. And, to make it seem like she was dangerous, she held up a wrench and smiled. I didn't get why she had a wrench.

Brother seem to now. He had an expression that read, "Scary! Scary! She's scary!" Wait…scratch that comment, Ed's expression read, "Terror! Terror! Do what she says, or you shall soon perish along with the annoying flies that infect this house!" I tried to imagine Winry trying to kill flies with a wrench. I don't think that works very well, but I sat down, along with Edward.

This house is crazy!

Suddenly, something popped into my mind. Wait, where's granny?

And suddenly, someone rang the door bell. Winry and Ed's glare contest broke as Winry prepared to run to the door. But Ed beat her too it.

"I'll get it!" he yelled as he ran to the door, almost tripping on his own feet. "Ack! Got it, got it!" He got to the door and swung it open. I could see brother's face turn into an ugly scowl. Did he hate our new quest? Already?

Apparently, the quest called brother "small". But, after yelling about his height ("Who are you calling small?! Don't call me midget! Or shorty! Or shrimp!") he finally let the visitor come in. A man, with a smirk on his face, walked in. He had jet black hair and black eyes - no, wait…he had an eye patch on his left eye. He was, at least, a few inches taller then my brother. The eye patch almost makes him look like a pirate. Haha! Behind him, there was a women. She had blonde hair - almost like my brother's - and red/orange eyes. Her hair was in a bun - or was it a ponytail? She looked too formal. She stood very strait -almost like a statue - behind the man, but her eyes also softened when she saw me.

Brother led them into the house with a big frown on his face. Winry happily told them to sit down at the table. Still, no one bothered to tell me who the heck these people were! It made me a bit sad, really. Then the man turned his head to look at me. His dark eyes widened a bit. Surprise? Shock? Excitement? …sadness?

But then he smiled. He turned back to my brother.

"You still haven't told me how you did it, Fullmetal," the man said, sighing. His eyes held awe in them. Then the man smirked. Brother frowned some more. "I'm surprised you can do a job that big," the man joked, laughing softly. But, if you listened hard enough, you could've heard Edward growl at the man.

"Ahem," the women interrupted, coughing into her fist, causing everyone to look at her, "Edward, General, we came here to see the evidence, not start a fight."

But Ed and the man - he's a General? - continued to glare at each other. Brother scowled while the man smirked at some private joke.

Do they really know each other that well that every time they see each other, they fight?

I will never know.

Oh, brother, why?

The man broke their glaring contest to stare at me. "Alphonse?" he asked softly. He was talking to me?! I don't know him! "Is that you?" he asked.

"Ah, um…" I tried to find my voice. "Yes."

Was it me, or did my face turn in embarrassment?

Why me?

The man then smiled. The women also smiled. She reminded me of mom. Her kind smile…

"Alphonse, you do look adorable. Better then the armor," the women commented, smiling.

"Thank you," I replied. But what did they mean by "armor"? there's was armor?

"You are very welcomed, Alphonse."

Then silence. Really, what was up with the silence?! I yelled to myself.

When I looked up, I saw that everyone -except Winry and me- was staring at Riza, who was still smiling. Ed and The General's face held surprise, fear, and awe while they gaped at her. That's rude, I thought, you shouldn't stare. But I was too shy and afraid to say it out loud.

But then the women turned her head and glared at brother and the General. But, surprisingly, she still held her smile on her face. "Sir, Edward, gaping at someone is rude. Sit up strait and close your mouth," she ordered. The two of them stiffened, and snapped their mouths close. Winry laughed. That was when I decided to ask for there names.

"Um, excuse me?" I started, "You still didn't tell me your names.

Everyone in the room froze. Edward bit his lip.
