"Feeling better, Alphonse?" asked Alisa and Momohana. Al rubbed his head and sat up. Everyone around felt little happiness and sadness about his recovery. For Edward, he was too oblivious to even feel any emotion. Ichigo and Winry were really surprised, they still couldn't even speak until Al falls asleep.
Alisa and Momohana were invited for dinner at the Rockbell's residence, having been thanked over ten times for saving Al. Momohana was thanked in a special way by been given a small kitten of gratitude. Ichigo gave her the youngest of the Cat Clan, Pon. Winry still looked enviously at Edward every time he reads something important (she thinks that he could be reading Yuki's phone number just for memorizing), and has been asking Ed a bunch of questions about girls he know or adore so much behind her back, as Al and Ichigo laughed together and told jokes about the kitty basement down below or if Ichigo felt like it, she would tell Alisa and Momo his nickname, the Kitty Caper.
That night, Momo and Ichigo slept together while Al and his brother were by themselves; Winry and Alisa were sleeping in one room.
The next day, it was a big breakfast between the six of them as they sat in a circle outside the house, eating and feeding Den. Ichigo herself wasn't that hungry to begin the day happily, but at least her sister Momo wasn't stuffed enough to work around the house until she and Alisa leave.
During this day between a jealous childhood friend and her not so working alchemical friend, she decided to make some changes around the house and to Edward for not cooperating with her while in Rush Valley.
It was a surprise for Al to be well again, but he thought to himself why he was sick while dreaming happily. He always wondered why every day.
Edward was working with Al and Momohana on something special, as for Alisa and Winry, they were eyeing Edward (Alisa loves to join in the jealousy) enviously, ignoring their half completed work in front of them. "Just look at that shrimp," whispered Winry in Alisa's ear.
"He sickens me so," replied Alisa. Ed was too oblivious to wonder what they were talking about behind his back.
"Just tell him I need to talk to him," Winry ordered AAlisa calmly without losing her temper against Edward.
Alisa walked towards the shrimpy boy, and patted him on the shoulder. Ed sighed and knew what she was asking him.
"I got it, I know already. Winry wants me to talk with her, so don't bother."
"Oh, me not bothering you? You're a shameful, little brat." Alisa also loves to tease the one she hates the most (her target was on Edward).
"Shameful am I?" "You know, I got a little triack upon saying those three words. I you said 'Shameful am I?', then you would say it like this: 'I am shameful!' Just turn backwards and you have just insulted yourself."
"So that means--"
"That's right. Be careful with Yuki, you brat." Alisa chuckled.
It was dinnertime....
Alisa and Winry laughed together as they watched Ed work outside after he ate (apparently, he ate too fast and had to do more work at night).
"Look at him, just look at him! He's working like there's no tomorrow!" said Alisa pointed at the window where Edward was shown.
"I know, huh?" Winry relaxed her chin on her crossed hands.
"Ichigo, why don't we feed the kittens? Momo, do you want to join us?"
"Oh, boy would I?!" "Sis, you know we want you to help us, too." Ichigo smiled happily at her little sister, Mew Hana.
Winry daydreamed...
"Ed?"
"Hm?"
"I was thinkin'... what if Yuki died?"
"Winry, Yuki's my friend, too and... I don't what I'll do if does die..."
"Well, then go ask her out or either leave her, like you and Al do all the time to me."
"It does hurt you so much, but my journey is too long to end."
"Hm... Just come closer... A little closer... That's it..."
"Er, Winry?"
"Hm?"
"Just stay in that position... There you go, Ed."
"Why do I have to sleep here and you and Al get to sleep in there?"
"You said your journey was long--"
"Winry, I--"
"so I decided to let you sleep out here until you can figure out your little head of yours. Goodnight."
"Goodnight, Winry."
"Winry, you listenin'?" asked Alisa.
"No."
"Daydreaming?"
"Yeah."
"Okay." Alisa got up and went to bed. Edward came inside shivering and chattering and glared at Winry angrily.
"What is it, Ed?"
"You made me.. work out there all night... and yet, you haven't commented about me."
"What makes you want a good comment so badly?"
"Nothing! Just nothing!" Ed blushed.
"Brother, you like Winry, don't you?" asked Al, with Momo and Ichigo giggling secretly.
"No!"
"No way I'll like him! Like I told you over the phone, I'M NOT IN LOVE WITH HIM!"
"Hehehehhe... Just watchin' you guys... Come on, let's feed the cats."
"Kay!" Ichigo and Momo said and followed Alphonse to the cat basement.
"So, what did you tell Al exactly?"
"I asked him how he and Ichigo are doin' and stuff like that."
"Did you ever tell him that I--"
"I told him about Yuki and he asked me if I ever... you know, love you."
"Blah! NO way we'll get married! But Al and Al wanna marry her, but the fight is still raging on!" Ed was nervous to think to himself.
