A/N: Alright. To clarify some things right now, I'm assuming that from the movie that since they are in Germany that their first language (from their world) was a lot like German. See where I'm coming from?

-------------------------------------------------------------

Winry had been swaying in and out of different worlds for about two weeks now. She had been spending less and less time in her own world and spending more in the other one. She had been spending almost full days in the other world and nights in Amestris. She observed the other world carefully; there was a language barrier between her and the woman caring for her so she tried her best to learn simple things.

She had learned a few things like how to say 'water' and 'bathroom' and very basic words most infants could master. The woman seemed to grow fond of Winry and vice versa. Winry had also discovered that the woman wore a name tag one day that read 'Loretta'. Winry had pointed at it and repeated the name written on it. The woman smiled brightly and nodded excitedly and pointed back towards Winry. Loretta had realized after a while that body language was the best way to communicate with her. Winry lifted her hand to herself and said "Winry". Loretta smiled and from then on they grew to become friendlier despite the lack of communication.

Although she was making progress in the other world, she was doing much worse in Amestris. Her illness seemed to be taking a turn for the worst. Her headaches were often too painful for her to stay conscious most of the time. She was constantly vomiting everything she had eaten earlier that day. She was so stricken with illness that she could not leave her bed almost everyday. Later on a local doctor had told her that her illness was most likely fatal and untreatable.

Once she found out about how unwell she was in Amestris, she took her nights there more seriously and memorized every moment thinking it was her last. She would silently survey her room and smiled at the familiarity she had with it. A week after the doctor had come, she once again returned to the other world by day. Only for her to discover that when she slept and woke again that she had not returned to Amestris, at first denial set in and she later after trying several times she realized that she couldn't return. She had died in Amestris.

Loretta comforted her has she cried to sleep that night.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Now Winry sat in the room she had become accustomed to over the past weeks. Loretta walked in with a smile reaching both ends of her face. Winry looked confused at her sudden happiness, but then Loretta held up her index finger telling her to wait a moment. Winry sat watching the door waiting for Loretta to return with whatever she was excited about.

Loretta soon returned with another woman who had light brown hair and pale blue eyes. Her hair was long but it was wrapped in a bun on the back of her head. Loretta smiled at the woman as she said several things obviously referring to Winry from the occasionally glance she saw from her. Then woman then turned to Winry and held her hand out to her.

"Hi, I'm Isabel. And you are?" the woman spoke to her. Winry was dumbfounded. She had been in a completely different world that she didn't understand and now someone she could understand was standing before her and she began tripping over her words.

"Oh…I'm Winry." She said hesitantly. "So where am I? And why can't I understand Loretta? Do you know why I'm here?" She quickly asked all the questions almost as if she wouldn't have another chance too.

"Slow down. You really don't know where you are?" Isabel examined her face and then said something to Loretta in which she immediately wrote on a piece of paper. "It seems you might have amnesia. Do you remember anything before ending up here?" she asked her with concern.

Of course Winry had all of her memories, then again it wasn't like she was going to believe that Winry just some how ended up here through a dream like phase and her obvious death on the other side trapping her here. She sat in silence thinking of the options in front of her. She decided her only choice was to claim to have no memories.

"No, I don't remember anything." She looked at Isabel as she talked. Isabel kept looking at Winry's face which almost led her to believe that something was on it, before she could act in response Isabel spoke up.

"Well, to answer your questions, you are in Spain. You can't understand Loretta because she speaks Spanish. You're speaking German. And from what I know you're here because Loretta found you on the street in a terrible condition. She's the known that has been taking care of you. I'm a relative of hers that is why she called me out to speak with you." She paused. "What I want to know is if you remember having any family? Anyone we might be able to reach in the long run."

"No, I don't remember anyone." Winry answered firmly. Maybe a little too firmly. Isabel looked at her with a slightly confused face, but shook it off.

"Well, do you think you would be interested in coming to live with me in Germany?" She asked with a slight smile on her face.

"I think I would like too, if it's not a problem." Winry answered. It would most likely be better to try to live in an area where she could communicate better with others. Although she did feel like she was going to miss seeing Loretta.

Isabel spoke to Loretta and she smiled in return. Then Winry asked for Isabel to translate a conversation between her and Loretta. Winry had thanked Loretta for everything and told her that she deeply appreciated all that she had given her. Loretta gave her a hug in response and farewell as Winry got ready to leave with Isabel.

Winry waved goodbye has she and Isabel got into a car leaving the city. She then realized that she was leaving more and more familiar faces.

-------------------------------------------------------------

After buying the train tickets, both Isabel and Winry sat on opposite sides on the benches. Winry stared out the window watching as a new landscape flashed by over and over. Isabel silently read over a novel she had with her.

"So where are we going?" Winry asked not taking her eyes off the window once.

"We're going to Munich, Germany. It'll take us about five days." Isabel said in a monotone as she continued to read her book.

Winry sighed quietly to herself. She remembered how much she disliked trains from the times she traveled to central to visit Ed and Al or to Dublith with them. She disliked how the seats felt after a long period of time. She never really appreciated trains, nor did she think she was going to in the next five days. It was going to be a long trip.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Winry breathed a sigh of relief when they finally arrived in Munich. Isabel talked to her slightly on the trip here. Winry assumed she didn't have much to say, or that she might be watching what she is saying because she thought Winry had no memories. Either way it was a quiet trip all in all.

Isabel had told her that they were going to get a cab ride to her house. Winry nodded in response and they waited for quite some time until a small black car came up to them and Isabel led Winry into the car. They car soon pulled up to a fairly large two-story house that was a light shade of brown. Isabel helped Winry with clothes that Loretta had given her and placed it all in a room on the second story.

"This we'll be your room for now." She smiled "How would you like to meet my husband?"

"Uh…I think it'll be nice to meet your husband." Winry replied slowly trying to choose her words carefully.

"Come with me. He should be around here somewhere" Isabel said leading Winry. They walked around the large house, peaking into small rooms with papers askew, and gazing about searching for the inevitable. Until they found him a separate room they hadn't checked earlier.

"Dear, I want you to the meet the girl that will be staying with us for a while." She asked the man sweetly.

"Oh yes! I almost forgot." The man stood up from his chair and turned to see Winry. He was slightly taller then Isabel and had a dirty blonde hair and pale gray eyes. His face was covered in slight wrinkles and didn't seem to be too old. He grabbed Winry's hand and shook it firmly.

"Hello there, my name is Eustace Reuwich. It's nice to finally meet you."

A/N: Oh the irony. I decided to leave it like a cliffhanger. Its always fun like that. : D

How did you like this Chapter? I tried to write it as well as I could, but I'm too focused on what I want for the next couple of Chapters. So don't worry, I think the story will go slightly faster in the next chapter, or at least I hope. : P

Still working on outlining the rest of the story past the reunion chapter so….I might take a while. Hehe.

Thanks to all who gave reviews. They were very much appreciated. : )

Stay Tuned.
