Woot! Chapter 4 is here.

"WHAT?" Ed shrieked as she slammed her hands on the table. "You broke your word, dammit!"

"Edward, I did not say it was a prince trying to court you. I just said someone is coming in to visit." Hohenheim said, glaring at his daughter.

"Well, who else would come? And you said it was a he!"

"Just wait until they get here." Hohenheim said walking away.

Ed retreated to her room and flopped on the bed. Hours passed before Hohenheim finally called her from downstairs. "Great." she sighed sarcastically as she went down the steps.

A grin swept across Ed's face as she realized who the guests were. A man and a woman were standing next to Hohenheim. The man had dirty blonde hair and brown eyes. The woman had bright blonde hair and blue eyes.

"Alphonse! Winry!" Ed exclaimed as she gave them a tight hug.

"Hi Onee-san!" said Alphonse.

"Good to see you again Ed!" chirped Winry.

Alphonse is Ed's younger brother. She still has her automail, but doesn't mind since Al got his body back. Winry lives in another kingdom and married Al about a year ago. They're great friends.

"I have sooooo much to tell you guys!" Ed said as she lead the two of them to her room.

It was late at night. Al and Winry were on the futon Ed brought into the room. The three of them were still talking and were enjoying themselves.

"That sounds really interesting. So what-" Winry started.

Winry stopped suddenly when she heard a tap on the sliding door to the balcony. Ed stood up, opened the door, and looked outside.

"What the? No one's there..." she said while Al and Winry stared at her confused. Ed turned around and felt something whack the back of her head. "Ow!"

Jean appeared out of nowhere with a smile on his face. "Hey Ed. You forgot this." he said holding out a bag containing extra stuff the princess brought. "Oh. Are you busy?" he said noticing Al and Winry.

"Ed, who is he?" Winry asked.

"Um, Jean..." I replied slowly.

"Do you know him?" asked Al.

"Yeah..." she said. Then Ed looked at Jean. "Wait, how'd you get in here? Are Roy and Maes with you?"

Her answer? A hand to Ed's mouth and someone pulling her outside, hiding her from the guests.

"Hey shortie!" someone called.

Alphonse and Winry winced as they heard a loud punch. Maes fell to the floor, seeing stars.

The two guests rushed outside. They saw Maes, Jean, and Roy standing by Edward.

"Nee-san, who are they?" asked Al.

Ed took a deep breath. "It's a long story. Please don't tell Father, he already hates them." she pleaded.

Winry sighed. "Ok fine. So who are you guys?"

Ed introduced everyone and explained the story.

"So. What are you doing here?" Ed asked as she sat on the bed.

"You left some of your stuff." replied Roy.

She raised an eyebrow. "And?"

The men became silent. "Can you hide us? We got caught again." Maes said with his apologetic smile.

Ed smacked her head. "Morons, that's what money's for. Guess I don't a choice. Just stay under my bed or something and make sure you're gone before sunrise."

"Knew we could count on you." Jean said as he ruffled her hair.

The three men were under the bed. Winry and Edward were whispering to each other since Al was asleep. Unknown to the girls, the commoners were still awake.

"So Ed. Do you like one of them?"

Ed could feel the heat coming to her face. "Wh-what? Of course not! I barely know them."

Winry's eyes were used to the darkness. "You sure Ed? You're blushing pretty heavily." she said with a smirk.

"D-do not! They're just friends." defended Ed.

"Is it Jean?"

"No..."

"Maes?"

"No..."

"Roy?"

"N-no. Dammit, I don't think of them like that Winry!"

"Aha. Ok fine, I'll talk about something else." Winry said looking straight at Ed. "Have you been kissed yet? And I'm not talking about the ones the princes force on you."

Ed blushed again and looked down. Winry was giggling. "I bet you haven't Ed!" Then she stopped and looked at Ed. "Oooooh, you have, haven't you!" she said through squeals. "I'm so happy for you! Who's the lucky man?"

"It-it was a dare!" Ed stammered.

"Dare? So it was one of them hm? How was it?"

Ed paused. "It was...wet." she whispered quieter than usual.

Winry smiled. "Come on, tell me about it. Was it simple? Or maybe it had tongue? Did you moan at all?"

"Hey, you're getting too personal." Ed pouted.

"Come on Ed, we're girls. I'm supposed to get personal when my best friend's involved."

"Well still."

"Ok fine, you can get personal with me. How about to make it fair, I'll tell you when I did it with your brother?"

Ed looked at Winry shocked. "Erm, no it's fine. Let's go to bed, it's late."

"Alright. Night Ed."

"Night."

Under the bed, the guys were grinning at each other. It wasn't everyday they got to hear a personal conversation between females.

When Ed, Winry, and Al woke up, the three guys were already gone.

"Guess they kept their promise." Al said as he stretched.

"Yeah." replied Ed. "Hey Winry?"

"Hm?" said the blonde as she patted down her hair.

"Can I...tell you something alone after breakfast? It's difficult for me to say."

"Pfft, of course! You can tell me anything alright?"

The three of them prepared before heading to the table.

"Yikes. Your father won't be very happy if he learns that." Winry said worried as she bit her lip.

"That's right. And I barely know them! Do you think my 'condition' will go away?" Ed asked as she moved her fingers nervously.

"Ed, listen to me. It's much harder to try to stop loving someone than it is for them to return your feelings." Winry said putting a hand on Ed's shoulder.

"But I can't ever be closer. I'm a princess and he's a commoner." Ed said with tears in her eyes.

"Ed, I'll try to help. At the meeting next week, I'll suggest that instead of royalty marrying royalty, a prince or princess can marry whoever he/she deems worthy. Hopefully a lot of the other rulers will agree. And don't worry, I won't mention you." said Winry.

"Thanks Win." said Ed as she gave Winry a hug.

"Now how about I give you some advice? Flirting, hinting your love, I'll tell you everything I know." Winry said with a grin. Ed nodded shyly.

Maes, Jean, and Roy were just hanging out in the alley.

"Ed sounded pretty embarrassed last night. You should be proud Roy. You technically took her first kiss." said Jean with a toothpick in his mouth. Vendors with cigarettes were hard to come by.

Roy rolled his eyes. "I've done that with lots of women Jean. The only difference is that Ed is a princess."

"Exactly why!" joked Jean. "And getting her to moan was rather impressive."

"Ya know, it kinda sucks only princes can marry princesses. I've seen many princesses come this way." Maes said with a sigh. "They probably wouldn't be interested in me, but it's a nice thought."

"Hey Roy, I'm surprised you haven't really hit on Ed." remarked Jean.

Roy glanced at him. "What?"

"Well, you are a womanizer. You hit on practically every girl with good looks." said Jean.

"Do I have to flirt with every woman I see?" asked Roy.

"Well no, but it's a surprise." said Maes.

Roy leaned against the wall and closed his eyes. He remembered Ed's sweet smell, the silky lips, the smooth skin, and just how much he enjoyed being with the young heiress.

Yup, another chapter completed.

Er, there's not really much to say. So R&R ^_^
