I stared, wide eyed, at my ex across the parking lot, heading straight for me, a frustrated look on his face as he spoke into his cell phone. Rachel, catching sight of Jack, grabbed my wrist and pulled me into the store, where Randy was ordering the food. "Randy." Rachel said as the cashier handed him a receipt and told him to wait. "Emergency. Alpha Zero."
"Alpha Zero?" I asked.
"That's our code for when Jack is coming." Randy said quickly, grabbing me by my sleeve and pulling my hood on my gray hoodie over my head as Jack walked in and saw Rachel.
"Hey, Rach." He said, smiling.
"Oh." Rachel said, pretending to just notice him. "Hey Jack. What are you doing here?"
"Just getting some food for my new girlfriend." Jack explained, with a blonde girl, her hair up in a ponytail in an eerily familiar way.
"Winry!" Randy nearly yelped out in surprise, and I nearly did the same.
"And who's this lucky girl?" Rachel said, holding the same expression as Randy and I.
"This is Winry Rockbell." Jack said, gesturing to Winry. "Soon to be Winry Martinez."
"Oh you're engaged?" Rachel asked. I could her rage building.
"Yup!" Winry said enthusiastically. Rachel suppressed her attack.
"Well, see you guys later." Rachel said, walking over to us as Jack and Winry got in line.
"Ed's not gonna like this." Randy said, as we walked out of the restaurant, not caring about the food anymore.
"Oh god." I sighed as I started the car. "How in the world are we gonna explain this to them?"
"Straight out tell them?" Rachel suggested.
"It's probably not going to be as simple as that." Randy sighed as the apartment complex came into view.
"Be prepared for yelling." I said, as we got out of the car, entered the building, and went up the elevator.
