Hey everyone, Happy Chinese New Year :) Kind of ironic I'm saying this in a Christmas fic, but oh well. This chapter is long enough as it is and I doubt many care for the reason why I haven't udpated for a while, so read on and enjoy. But in a gist, I've been drawing, reading and watching Digimon.
Oh yeah I had a kind of format to this thing, I almost forgot. First part wasn't supposed to be so long but I got carried away. No offence. It's just a possible situation. Always wanted to see FMA characters eating fast food.

A Full Metal Alchemist Christmas Special: Part VI

Fast Food Dining & Generous Gifts

At about 2pm sharp, the boys got a message from Winry.

Hey Ed, Al, En, Russell, Ling! Or Greed. I know I said to meet back at En's house but I'm starving and I'm sure you guys are as well so let's meet at the Mac near our school for a late lunch, kay? See you there!

Ed blinked and turned around from the direction he was walking. Ling got the message as he was walking out of a shop and took his phone out of his pocket. He smiled at the thought of food, ignoring Greed telling him he should be Gluttony. Russell looked at the message in bemusement. Al shook his head with a fond smile as he stared at Winry's message, and continued walking.

Envy scoffed and typed a message back to her, "What time? We're all at different places."

"Oops I forgot." Winry replied him and Envy twitched. His phone vibrated in his hand as another message appeared. "2.30? I'm actually quite far away from there."

Envy sighed as he replied her, "Fine, you better tell the others then."

"Okay!"

Envy shook his head. He moved to pocket his phone, just as it vibrated again. Winry sure had fast fingers.

The sin looked at his watch. 2.30- it was now about 2.05.

Fifteen minutes to get Winry's present should do.

"Ed, eat slowly."

"Can't help it Al," Ed got out as he gobbled up his burger, shoving a chicken nugget into his mouth. "I'm so hungry."

"Me too!" Ling said through a mouthful of twister fries.

"Win, stop stealing my fries." Envy said dryly. "You have your own."

"But yours taste better!" Winry grinned and stole a few more. Envy stared at her, then sighed.

"Russell that's my drink," He moved to glower at the blond, who grinned at him sheepishly.

"Oops."

"The prince is right." Greed said as he munched on the twister fries. He smirked. "This doesn't taste too bad."

"Really? Let me try." Winry said from beside him and took a twister fry from Greed/Ling. He blinked, but decided to let her have it. He was a gentleman after all.

"I want one too." Ed said and snatched up a twister fry.

"Same here!" Russell declared and moved to do the same.

"Me too." Alfonse smiled at Greed and moved to pick up a twister fry.

Greed twitched. "Hey." He said indignantly. "Stop stealing my food."

Ed just smirked at him, "Tell Ling it's revenge for him stealing my food."

"Mmm! This is delicious En, you've got to try it!"

"No thanks-mpf!"

"So?" Winry grinned cheekily at Envy who was glaring at her after she had shoved the fry into his mouth. "How is it?"

"…Not bad." Envy admitted reluctantly. He finished the fry, then turned his attention back to his McFlurry. "I prefer my ice cream though."

Alfonse smiled as he drank his coke, watching his friends. They sure stood out – six teenagers whom had entered together, drawing attention to them. And it seemed that even now, the girls' attention was fixed on them as well. Ed, Greed/Ling, Russell and Envy were too busy with their food to notice, but he could hear them quite clearly.

"Oh my god, do you see that guy with the ponytail?! He's hot!"

"The black haired one? Ugh I don't like him, he has purple eyes. That's creepy. The one with blue eyes is more handsome, in my opinion."

"Really? I couldn't see his eyes just now."

"He's sexy…though, he looks like a pimp."

"Does that guy have golden eyes?!"

"And golden hair too! His hair is so long! But he's so handsome!"

"I prefer the guy with short hair, his green eyes are really nice!"

Al smiled as he bit into his chicken nugget. He looked up to see Ed still wolfing down his food. He had finished his burger and was eating his chicken nuggets while occasionally stealing an annoyed Greed's twister fries.

"Fullmetal." Greed growled.

"What?" Ed asked as he shoved another twister fry into his already full mouth. "I'm hungry."

"Eat your own food," Greed twitched, "And stop stealing mine."

Ed smirked at him as he finished the last of his chicken nugget. "But I've already finished mine."

"Argh!" Greed snarled as he tore the skin and flesh of his chicken drumstick into his mouth. "This brat…"

Ed just smirked and took a few more of Greed's twister fries. Provoking Greed was fun.

Alfonse just shook his head as he looked at them, "You'll choke, Ed." He said. He couldn't understand how the girls could admire them- Greed and Ed were practically shoving food into their mouths like starving men and it wasn't at all a pretty sight.

"Is the one with the purple hair a guy or a girl?"

"I don't know...the voice's pretty androgynous. But she's wearing a miniskirt so she should be a girl, right?"

"Well, the blonde beside her is definitely a girl! She is so lucky to be surrounded by hot guys!"

"Wait, they have a girl with them?"

"She's quite pretty though."

"I'm so jealous of her!"

"Argh! I wish I was her!"

"Yeah, I doubt she's even deserving of their attention anyway!"

"She isn't even that pretty!"

"What's wrong, Win?" Envy asked as he noticed Winry looking uncomfortable.

"The purple haired one too! She's a girl, right?"

"The furcoat she's wearing looks like it belongs to a man! You think one of them's her boyfriend?"

"She doesn't seem to care though! Look, she's talking to that girl!"

"It's nothing En," Winry gave him a reassuring grin, "I think I ate a bit too much. Ahaha."

"Yeah, hopefully you don't get fat." Envy smirked at her, then continued with eating his ice cream.

Winry pouted at him. "Ennnnnn…" she said. "You're so mean…"

"…Did you learn that from Ling?" Envy stared at her. "Anyway I said hopefully you won't get fat, I didn't say you would get fat."

Winry smiled brightly at him, then moved to glomp him. "Awww, my En's so kind to me!"

"Get off me Winry!" Envy hissed, pushing her off. "We're in public!"

"Hey…I think the one with the purple hair is a guy."

"Really?"

"Yeah, if you listen closely his voice sounds masculine!"

"But he's wearing a miniskirt! Does he cross-dress?"

"Well that bitch just hugged him so he has to be a guy!"

"Yeah! You think she's banging them all?"

"What a slut!"

Winry bit her lip and removed herself from Envy. "Sorry En…"

Envy stared at her. Had Winry just apologized for hugging him? "Winry?"

Alfonse frowned. The girls' loud whispering had drawn the attention of other people who were nearby and they were whispering too. Couldn't they just leave six friends to eat their lunch in peace?

He had been amused before, but he wasn't so amused now.

He wasn't angry that they were admiring them and being noisy. What he was angry about was how they were judging Winry with such degrading terms without even knowing her. And Envy- before they had realized he was a guy.

"You hear them too huh, Al." Russell, who was sitting to the right of Al, said to him over the Christmas music.

Al nodded, as Ed said, "They're annoying." He was eating slower now.

"Who's annoying?" Ling asked curiously.

"Those girls."

Envy glanced at them, then snorted, "Are they making you uncomfortable, Win?" He asked, and Al noticed he seemed annoyed too. "Just ignore them. They don't know you."

Alfonse frowned, then stood up, and Winry looked at him. "Don't, Al." She said. "I'm sure they'll stop."

"Sorry Winry, but I won't stand for their degradation of you." Al said and everyone was surprised by the anger in his voice. He inhaled, as Russell stood up beside him.

"I'm going with you, Al."

"Me too." Envy narrowed his purple eyes and moved to stand up, but Winry grabbed his wrist. "Win?"

"Don't, En," she said almost pleadingly. "They'll just laugh at your outfit."

"Like hell I care what those bitches think of me!" Envy growled but Winry tugged at his wrist. He looked at her, then frowned and sat reluctantly back down.

"Sorry…I just don't want them to make fun of you." Winry said quietly. "You don't deserve it."

Envy turned his gaze to her. His eyes softened and he moved to place his hand on Winry's wrist. "You don't either."

"Oh my god!"

"What?"

"Two of them are coming towards us!"

"Which ones? Is it the one with black hair in a ponytail and the one with the golden eyes!?"

"No it's the one with the short hair and the one with the blue eyes! They're so handsome!"

"Oh I like the one with the blue eyes!"

Russell smiled at them as he and Al reached their table. "Hello ladies. We would like to discuss with you your conversation regarding us and our friends."

"Ah! You heard that?" A girl with dyed red hair said, looking away shyly. "How embarrassing!"

"Indeed we did."

"Oh. Well, would you date me then?" She said eagerly, "I would really like to be your girlfriend!"

"Hey, I wanted to be his girlfriend!" A brown haired girl with blonde highlights in her hair beside her said angrily.

"Well too bad!"

"I prefer the blond!" A blonde said, leaning towards Al and smiling flirtingly. "Hi handsome. What's your name?"

Al narrowed his eyes. "Alfonse."

"Oh, Alfonse! What a handsome name!" The blonde gushed, and Al almost grimaced, "I'm Janet!"

"You're pretty," the red haired girl blushed as Russell moved close to her, smiling. His smile soon turned cold, and his blue eyes mocking, "But as they say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. And right now, I see no beauty."

The girl gaped in shock as Russell withdrew, moving his fringe to the side and staring down at her coldly. "A pretty face means nothing if you have a bad attitude." He said in a matter of fact tone.

"B-But!" The red head stuttered.

"Sorry babe, but I have standards." Russell smirked down at her with a raised eyebrow. "And I don't date girls who make fun of and insult my friends."

"I didn't insult them!" The girl sounded indignant.

"You insulted Winry," Alfonse cut in, an unusual coldness in his voice. "That's her name. Not 'bitch' or 'slut' or whatever degrading term you called her," he smiled sharply at the blonde girl. "Show some respect to my friend, Janet."

"That's all we came here for, we have no intention of dating any one of you," Alfonse said dryly as he turned around. "Winry is our precious friend. Mess with her again and you'll regret it."

Russell gave a low whistle as Al walked away. "Wow, I've never seen Al so pissed off before. He must have been influenced by Envy."

"That's the name of the 'purple haired one' by the way. Envy." Russell smirked at their shocked faces. "And he's a guy. He's quite sexy in that miniskirt, isn't he? You should thank Winry for preventing him from coming over and kicking your asses you know. He's the Captain of our school's Karate Club and he hates you girls already."

Russell gave them a smirk, blue eyes cold as he turned around. "Oh and by the way? I'm bi."

He could hear them already whispering things as he walked away, such as how one girl was saying angrily she was going to get her ex-boyfriend to beat him up for rejecting her. And another was saying how disgusting it was that he could like guys. He ignored them of course- people like them were just all bark and no bite. It was such a pity such pretty girls had such bad attitudes towards people.

"Al…Russell...you guys didn't have to," Winry said when they were both at the table. But she seemed to have reverted back to her normal self as she gave the boys a grateful smile. "But thanks, guys."

"No problem, Winry." Alfonse said, smiling back at her. "I wanted to teach them a lesson."

"I wanted to too." Envy muttered darkly and everyone sweatdropped.

"Well," Ling said, eyebrows furrowed. "Some people in this country really are strange. How can you like someone without even knowing them?"

"Yeah, unless you just want a one night stand." Greed smirked.

"And now, they've seemed to change their whole view on us," the prince observed placidly as he sipped his ice lemon tea. "I think they hate us now." He shrugged. "I don't really care though."

"Even I don't want women like that." Greed snorted. "They're probably damned whiny anyway."

Ed scowled, "Neither do I." He snorted. "People in my country aren't like that. We don't insult people we don't' even know."

"Well." Alfonse said. He seemed to have calmed sufficiently down. "Don't let them affect your impression of us, Ed, Ling. Most people in this country aren't like that." He narrowed his eyes, "They're just the minority, I would think."

"They find being bi disgusting." Russell said as he finished the rest of his french fries.

"It's not like they're the ones who are bi." Winry frowned. She sighed. "I just don't understand some people."

"You don't have to understand them Win," Envy said, scowling. "They're not worth understanding."

"Have you guys finished eating?"

"Yup!" Ling said cheerfully. "Ah, I'm so full!"

"You said that just now." Envy couldn't resist a smirk.

Alfonse smiled. He inhaled, and allowed his anger to ebb away. He had taught them a lesson like he had wanted, shocked them with his harsh words. There was no need to think about them anymore. He wouldn't see them ever again.

"Well let's go then!" Winry smiled. She looked around at the plastic bags. "Everyone has finished getting their presents, right?"

The boys nodded and she grinned. Al smiled to see everything was back to normal.

"Great! Let's head back then."

"Ohhhh myyyyy GODDDDD!"

Ed, Ling, Russell, Al and Envy turned at Winry's cry. They sweatdropped to see her staring with stars in her eyes at a wrench in a display case.

"Ah! It's perfect as ever!" Winry said excitedly as she swayed from side to side, "I wish I could have it!"

"How much is it?" Alfonse asked as he walked up to her.

"Very expensive. I mean, I'd be incredibly happy if someone bought it for me," Winry admitted sheepishly, "But I'll feel guilty as well."

Envy stared at the wrench, twitching. So this was where it was.

"Anyway, I guess I'll save up until I can buy it!" Winry said, smiling and turning around, hands behind her back as she and Al made their way back to the rest. "Let's go, guys!"

"Envy?" She asked when she noticed Envy wasn't following.

"Uh, you guys go first." Envy told them, "I just remembered I have to get something for my mother."

"Oh. Well, we'll see you at the house then!" Winry waved with a bright smile, then turned and walked away with Al to the rest. "Keep your phone on, okay?"

"Yeah yeah." Envy replied nonchalantly.

"Where's Envy?" Ed asked, looking at Winry and Al who were catching up to them.

"He said he had to get something for his mother." Al smiled.

"Oh, he's getting his mother a Christmas present?" Ling asked, smiling.

Winry nodded, blue eyes staring into the distance.

"We're back!"

"Oh Winry," Teresa smiled at the blonde and the five friends as she skipped into the house. "Welcome back."

"Thanks, Ms Teresa!" Winry said cheerfully.

Teresa returned her grin, but then she blinked as she realized her son was missing. "Where's Envy?"

"Oh, he said he had to get something for you." Ling said, smiling.

"Something for me?"

"Uh," Ed said, twitching slightly, "I don't think you were supposed to say that."

"…Oops."

"It's okay, Ling," Teresa reassured the guilty looking prince. "I don't think Envy is getting something for me. He already gave me something for Christmas."

"He has?" Winry asked, surprised.

"Yup." Teresa said brightly. "He made a Christmas card for me and drew a small version of himself wishing me a Merry Christmas." She grinned, "It was so cute!"

"I didn't know En could draw!" Winry said, impressed. Then she blinked. "But if he isn't getting a present for you why did he say he was?"

Teresa just smiled at her, "Maybe he had something to buy." She said simply.

"Anyway he'll come back soon, so in the meantime why don't you open your presents?" The brown haired woman smiled at them, one blue eye closing in a wink. "I bought them for you and the boys."

"You bought us presents?!" Winry exclaimed. She turned her gaze to the wrapped presents under the Christmas tree they had decorated, grinning. "That's so sweet of you, Ms Teresa! Thank you!"

"No problem, Winry."

"Yes, thank you Mrs Evans." Alfonse was smiling. "I do hope they weren't too expensive."

"Thanks Mrs Evans, that's very kind of you." Russell said, as he gave her a sincere smile.

"Thank you, Mrs Evans!" Ling and Ed said at the same time, though Ling had said it in an excited tone and Ed in a surprised one.

"You're welcome, boys." Teresa smiled brightly at them. "Oh and Ling, there's one for Greed too."

Ling looked surprised, as Teresa said, "Well, I'm going out now," she said cheerfully as she walked towards the door with her handbag, wearing a thick coat over her white blouse. "Have fun, children."

"Bye Ms Teresa, take care!" Winry waved.

Teresa smiled, then opened the door. She closed it behind her as she left the house.

"She's too awesome." Russell said as he joined Winry at the Christmas tree. He stooped down. "Which one is mine?"

But Winry wasn't listening to him. "Oh my god where did she find this?" She shouted excitedly, as she held her present up, blue eyes sparkling, "It's so cute!"

The boys turned to her, expecting to see something cute and possibly furry, and sweatdropped when they found her looking at a hairclip – with a mini silver wrench attached to it.

"Uh…" Ed said, at a loss of words.

"That's our Winry for ya." Russell said in amusement.

"And there's two!" Winry continued, as she held up the other hairclip-this time with a golden wrench. "They're perfect!"

"Now I'm wondering what she got us." Russell said as he untied the ribbon on his present. He smiled as he saw the card which wished him a Merry Christmas.

His slate blue eyes widened slightly when he saw his present. Russell picked it up carefully with his fingers, smiling as he stared at the silver lined blue violin keychain with silver strings. "Lovely." He murmured as he gazed at the blue which was shades darker than his eyes, and the crystals on top, "I'm going to get a handphone strap and hang this on my phone."

"How cute!" A voice that was decidedly not feminine interrupted his moment of admiration and Russell, Winry, Al and Ed turned their gazes to where Ling was grinning widely, crouched on the floor and holding a hamburger purse with a grin on its face which was almost as wide as his.

"…It looks like you." Was the first thing Ed said.

Ling just grinned wider, if that was even possible, "She's so nice!" He said happily as he squished the grinning hamburger in his hand, squashing its wide grin, "This is going to be my purse from now on!"

"That's so cute!" Winry exclaimed as she rushed to Ling's side, holding out her hands eagerly. "Let me see!"

"Isn't it?!" Ling exclaimed brightly, looking like he was on the verge of giggling like Winry was as she felt the grinning hamburger purse in her hands. Ed grimaced at the disturbing thought.

"You girls," Russell said in amusement. He flipped his fringe, smirking as he held up his violin keychain proudly. "Well, my present's more elegant."

"It is cute though." Al pointed out with a small grin.

"Yeah, it suits Ling too." Edward said, smirking, "That grin is always on his face when he sees food."

Ling grinned sheepishly. "Well, Greed wants to open his present." He said as he took his hamburger purse back from Winry.

Winry and the boys blinked as Greed opened his indigo eyes, smirking as he stared at the grinning hamburger purse in his hand. He squashed it. "What a perfect present for that idiot prince who's always hungry." He drawled, and Ed, Al, Winry and Russell sweatdropped as they saw his eyebrow twitching slightly.

"Poor hamburger." Winry said in sympathy as she looked in pity at the hamburger with a squashed grin in Greed's hand.

Greed dropped the squashed hamburger onto the floor, ignoring Ling's protest as he read the card out loud, as Winry bravely dove to pick it up and shape it back to normal. "Merry Christmas Greed. I'm sure you'll like your present." Greed raised an eyebrow. "Treat it as my gratitude for your generous help the other day."

The homunculus smirked as he tore open the wrapping paper greedily to reveal a pair of sunglasses. He blinked, then grinned as he picked the black sunglasses up, purring, "Perfect. I've wanted one of these."

The sunglasses were the cheap kind, but Greed wore them leisurely. He smirked at the teenagers around him, "How do I look?"

"Pretty cool!" Winry gave him a thumbs up and a grin.

Alfonse nodded, smiling. "They suit you, Greed."

"Not bad," Russell smirked. "They make you look like a pimp though."

Ed scoffed. "You look more like your previous self." He said with a smirk.

Greed grinned at them. He turned his head, and blinked when Winry held out the hamburger purse to him. "Here."

When he stared at her in surprise, she rolled her eyes, grabbed his wrist, and placed the grinning hamburger in the palm of his hand. Greed twitched as the hamburger grinned at him, reminding him of a certain annoying prince.

"I don't want it."

"It's Ling's present!" Winry frowned at him, and he blinked at the annoyance in her eyes. She patted the hamburger in his hand and smiled up at him, a smirk on her lips. "Treat him well!"

Greed stared at her, then stared at the hamburger in his hand. Which was still grinning at him. He twitched, holding his hand up to his forehead and releasing a sigh. "Whatever."

Ed, who was looking at him, had his attention diverted when Alfonse released a soft gasp next to him. He turned, looking at the blond who looked surprised, and happy. "Al?"

Al smiled brightly at him, as he lifted a watch- an analogue watch with a gold rimmed face, a golden knob, silver on the outside and a black strap. "It's perfect, Ed." He said, smiling as he stared at the picture of a husky inscribed in it. "I've been wanting a watch to keep track of time. And the husky's a really nice bonus."

"You like dogs, Al?"

"Yup!" Alfonse said cheerfully. He held the watch carefully, smiling. "And huskies are my favorite breed."

"Though…" he said as he stared at the watch, guilt in his expression. "I really hope she didn't spend too much on this."

"I'm sure she didn't, Al," Ed reassured him with a smile. "She probably knew you would feel guilty if she did."

"Yeah…you're right, Ed." Al smiled as he took the watch, wearing it around his right wrist with delicate care. He held up his wrist when he was done, smiling.

"It suits you, Al." Ed grinned at him. It did – with the bright gold complementing Alfonse's blond hair, and the silver his white coat. The alchemist winked. "It looks quite fine."

"Thanks, Ed." Alfonse replied, grinning. He looked at his present with pleased sea green eyes. "I like it. It's a really nice present."

Ed smiled. "It is, isn't it?"

"Hey Ed," Alfonse said, "Why don't you open your present?"

Ed blinked. "Uh…" he said, "I don' really want to open it now…"

"Why not?"

"Well, 'cause I feel kind of awkward I guess. I mean, I barely know her," Edward explained, smiling wryly. "And she still was kind enough to bother to get me a Christmas present."

"I see…"

"Don't worry Al, I'll open it." Ed said to him. "Just not now."

Al blinked, and smiled, "Alright then, Ed."

"Envy's not back yet." Winry said as she stood up, the hairclip with the silver wrench in her hair. She looked towards the boys. "What should we do?"

"Well, we should just go ahead, shouldn't we?" Ling said cheerily as he tossed the grinning hamburger purse in the air and caught it, repeatedly, "We still have to wrap the presents."

He caught the hamburger one last time then rose to his feet, picking up his plastic bags, making his way to the table with the wrapping paper. "Greed and I will be taking the kitchen," he said as he picked up a red card, a green card, scotchtape, a black marker and a pair of scissors. He smiled at them from behind Greed's sunglasses, then departed for the kitchen.

"I'm taking this table then." Winry said as she walked over.

"Hmmm. Well I guess I'll go to the dining table." Russell commented as he moved to gather the necessary material.

"I'm going to the armchairs." Al said to Ed as he took the wrapping paper, cards and scissors in his hands. "Where are you going, Ed?"

"Er…" Ed said as he looked around. The kitchen was occupied by Ling and Greed, Russell was at the dining table, Al would be at the armchairs and Winry was here. He sighed, "I guess I'll go up to the landing."

"Alright." Al smiled and walked away to the armchairs. Ed looked at him, moved to pick up what he needed, and proceeded up the stairs with his plastic bags in his hand.

I have the links to the pictures of their gifts but I'm a bit too lazy to post them on my profile...well if anyone wants them PM me and we'll see.
