Hope everyone had a happy new year's! My resolution is to…finish stories on time  just kidding. It may not have been done before Christmas, but it'll be done soon. Only one, possibly 2 more chapters after this one, so I should be finishing up writing them by the end of this week. Then it's only a matter of typing them D: but I guess I could do that in study…

Disclaimer: I wrote this during the Bleach marathon last Saturday (:D) so things may be a little OOC. Or maybe not. Just kinda a filler chapter…Wait, that wasn't a disclaimer, was it:P

Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree

Rockin' around the Christmas tree at the Christmas party hop

Mistletoe hung where you can see, every couple tries to stop

Rockin' around the Christmas tree, let the Christmas spirit ring

Later we'll have some pumpkin pie and we'll do some caroling!

You will get a sentimental feeling when you hear

Voices singing, "Let's be jolly"-deck the halls with boughs of holly!

Rockin' around the Christmas tree, have a happy holiday

Everyone dancing merrily in the new old-fashioned way!

"Come on, Ed!" Winry said, tugging on the boy's sleeve, "People are beginning to leave, and you haven't danced to one song! You've just been sitting against that wall the whole night!"

"Well, it wasn't exactly my choice to come here in the first place, you know," Ed defended himself.

Winry had tried to get him up and moving several times, but to no avail. In between dances, she'd tried to get him involved in the party, but it wouldn't be too long before a boy came along and asked her to dance. Every single girl, at one point or another, at least once had asked Ed to dance. Winry thought that if he didn't want to dance with her, he'd at least want to dance with another girl, but each time, he (more or less politely) declined.

"Edward! You're just…impossible!" Winry yelled, and stomped off to another part of the room.

There was a minute of silence as one CD ended and one of the few remaining members of the party replaced it. Ed's heart sunk a bit. He hadn't meant to hurt her feelings, and he knew how much she'd been looking forward to that night, but…it wasn't like he'd asked to come along! And everyone knows how stubborn the FullMetal Alchemist can be. But even he could only take so much guilt.

He stood up and walked over to where Winry was standing. She'd made a point of facing away from him. He grabbed her shoulder and turned her around to face him. "I'm sorry, okay?" he said simply, not being that good at apologies, since he rarely ever swallowed his pride enough to say any.

Our faces…they're so close, they're almost touching, Winry thought. She shook herself from her thoughts and said, "Yeah? -"

"Yeah. And, maybe, if you still feel like it…I could dance with you…or something," Ed mumbled.

"Really, Ed?" Winry brightened up, "You mean it?"

"Well, yeah, especially since we're the only ones left here, sure…I guess. But I'll warn you now, I'm an awful dancer."

"Is that why you refused to dance when other people were here?" Winry asked.

"No! Dancing is just stupid!" Ed protested.

Suuuure, that's what he says, but- Winry's thoughts were interrupted when Ed placed his hands on her waist and pulled her closer to him.

"Come on," he laughed, "You're the one who wanted to dance, and now you're not even getting into it!"

"Heh, I was just surprised you actually agreed to dance with me," Winry nervously put her arms around Ed's neck, but he just smiled tenderly at her. "Heyyyyyy…why are you looking at me like that?"

"Like what?" Ed asked, genuinely confused, though in a moment he blushed and averted his eyes. But they kept dancing, nevertheless.

That's it! Sorry it was so short, but like I said, it's just a transition chapter. I'm going to start typing up the next chapter, "Let it Snow" now, but since I haven't finished writing it, it won't be up for a day or two. Please be patient! Peace out!
