Lily ran up the hill of her home, Ed, Ty, Al, and Armstrong following, two of the four needing support from either Ed or the major.
When Ty looked up, she saw a short old woman smoking a pipe. Lily was standing tall beside her, a childish grin on her face. "Ty! I want you to meet someone!" Ty let go of Edward's shoulder and her other arm gripped his hand, cause she didn't want to fall, let go too. Once she did, she fell forward, and landed on her stomach and when the Elric and Armstrong went to help her, she interrupted them.
"Don't. I have to do this on my own." she grumbled, and stood on one leg, the balance wasn't so good and her right arm instinctively grabbed the Elric's red coat. Lily spoke on, "Ty this is my Granny Pinako. Granny, this is Ty, she's a friend."
Ty fell back on her bum when a wrench knocked Ed off his feet.
Her heart raced, Where did that come from?
"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR, WINRY?! I BUY YOU A WRENCH AND YOU THROW IT AT ME?!"
Ty looked up, on the balcony was a blonde girl, in a black top, khaki work pants and sandals. She had a bandanna over her hair. Her blue eyes sparkled. Her hands rested on the rail.
"Edward!" she shouted, "I told you to call before you came back!"
Lily ran away from her Granny to see Winry and waved, her brown eyes sparkling. "Winry! Hey!"
"Lily! Why don't you all come inside and relax?" Winry called down to her sister as Lily helped up the crumpled Ty off the ground.
Winry looked at the blonde girl who sat on the couch, wearing a black tank top and a ruffled blue skirt, no shoes or socks. Her hair was pulled back into a ponytail.
"So, I can make your Automail too?" asked Winry, exited. Ty nodded, "Sure, knock yourself out." Winry squealed and turned to Edward and Alphonse. "What happened to you three anyway?" referring to Lily, Ed and Al.
"We got a little banged up." Ed answered, not revealing a thing. Winry knocked him bloody with her wrench. She turned to Al, "A little banged up too, Al?" Al nodded, and he got knocked with the wrench too. Lily was last, looking at her sister, nervously.
"How long till you need it?" asked Pinako and Lily counted on her fingers. "Three days. Maybe a week or so. But after that, we'll have to leave."
Pinako hummed, "Three arms and three legs. I think we can do that." Lily smiled, "Thanks Granny. I'll help make dinner." Pinako gestured to Winry. "Winry, why don't you show Ty to her room, and get that arm off, and a makeshift prosthetic on?"
Winry nods, "Sure. Come on." Ty grabs Winry's outstretched hand and Winry helps her to the guest bedroom. "So, what's your story?" asked Winry, looking at the Automail structure as Ty sat on a bed, it was very comfy. More comfortable than a crate and sheep surrounding you...
"It's complicated." said Ty, looking at the blue blanket she was sitting on. Winry crossed her arms and looked at Ty. "Is Ty your real name anyway?" she wondered, "Is every thing about you a lie?" Ty gulped, but didn't say anything. "I won't stop bothering you until you tell me." Winry added, bring a mental wrench down on Ty's shoulders.
"Don't get the wrong idea." said Ty, finally. "I'll tell you my name. But not now." Winry nodded, "You aren't ready? Alright. Let me get you patched up."
Ty drank her milk, albeit reluctantly. She didn't want milk at the particular moment, but rather juice, she loved her fruit punch. But she drank it nonetheless. She didn't want to upset Winry or Pinako, especially when they had a wrench or a hundred in the house.
"Ed. You're not drinking your milk." Winry growled, and Ed huffed, "I dun wanna!" he shouted and Armstrong started sparkling as Ty finished eating. "Drink your milk, Edward Elric!"
Ty stood up, silently thanking her hosts for the prosthetic leg that wasn't automail. Everyone looked at her. "Is something wrong, Ty?" asked Lily, who was quiet, sitting beside her sister. "No, everything's fine. I was wondering if I may be excused?" Pinako nodded, "Sure." Ty started walking out of the room when Winry stood.
"Where are you going!?" she shouted, Ty turned around and answered, "I'm gonna get some sleep." she replied, and Ed blinked. "Early? It's only nine." Ty glared at him. "So? Maybe I wanna sleep instead of hearing a pipsqueak's milk problems!" she spat and turned around and stormed to her room.
"WHO ARE YOU CALLING A MICROSCOPIC PIPSQUEAK?!" he demanded, his gold eyes set in a glare. You could hear Ty's voice from the other room, "YOU!"
Pinako spoke up next, "You two argue like a married couple."
Ty's head whipped from around the corner.
"I would die before I married him!"
Winry and Lily laughed as Ed's face got red. From embarassment of blush, they didn't know.
