Disclaimer: SAD FACE!~~~ I DON'T OWN!

Here you go, new chap. This one is when they are younger (Trisha is still alive).


Shh. Listen. Hear The Train?

"Yah! Well your mama's sooo fat that scientists are blaming HER for the big bang!"

Al slapped his hand to his forehead.

"You idiot! MY mama's YOUR MAMA TOO!"

Ed scoffed to the air, partially angry that the new 'your mama' joke that he had learned at school that day did little to help in this new battle against his younger…and eviler little brother.

"Yah well you're sooooo dumb you were probably adopted!"

Al stumbled back a bit, shock clearly present in his facial features. Ed smiled at the small win.

"TAKE IT BACK!" Ed placed his hands on his hips and stuck out his tongue. This act was followed by an angry shout and many moments of Al chasing his brother Ed around their front lawn. A small but strong looking woman stopped hanging laundry to yell at her boys to 'stop this nonsense.' She shook her head wondering why brothers always had to be at each other's throats.

"BOYS! I SAID STOP!" Ed had somehow managed to be pinned by his younger sibling and he trashed about.

".BACK!" Alphonse threatened yet again. He raised his fist in the air to emphasize his point.

"DO IT, I DARE YOU!" Anger along with humiliation flashed in the blonde boy's eyes. Al's fist stayed high in the air but slowly started to retreat downwards. "HA! See, I knew you couldn't do it! No wonder why you get picked on in school more than me, you're such a-!" Before he could finish his sentence the elder Elrich's face moved sideways from the impact of something hard. The brown haired boy's eyes reflected almost as much shock as the blonde haired boy's eyes did.

"Don't…tell me that I don't belong here…because then I wouldn't belong any-…."

Ed's throat tightened. He didn't mean to hurt his brother so much, he had just been caught up in the moment of the fight. In fact the two brothers had been so caught up in the fight that they had been unaware of a certain presence near them. Al was the first to notice.

"Winry?..." A girl about their age was standing only a few feet from where Ed had been pinned by Al. She was dressed in a white summer dress, and both of the boys took into notice how…pleasant she looked. Taking advantage of his brother's careless awareness, Ed pushed him off of his person.

They quickly stood up brushing the dirt off that they had recently been scuffling in. Both taking small side glances of Winry…and this new side of her.

"Winry…you…you look like a…"

"-girl?" Ed, the one that had finished the younger one's sentence was promptly hit in the head. His face met the ground in a slow motion manner.

"OW! What you do that for?"

"You call me that again and I will hit you so hard you won't even be able to remember that you have a mama!"

Al took a step away from a fuming Winry as he watched his brother slowly stand up again. Ed clutched his hurting head as he sized up Winry again. The sight of her was so much different than her normal self it seemed almost eerie.

They had been used to blue over-hauls and braids/pony-tails with an occasional dirt spot on her face from exploring or fighting. This new Winry was…odd to them. She stood clad in a white dress that had thin straps and frills at the hem. Her hair was neatly brushed and flowed down to her middle back. While her blue eyes sparkled with beauty…and more recently anger. The outfit was completed with white knee high socks and white strap on shoes.

"What's with the dress?" Al asked more curiously than disrespectfully. Winry's white shoes made a circle in the dirt as she explained,

"Mom and Dad are leaving today…grandma says I should look nice for them." Ed, being the older one, caught on faster than Al did.

"Oh…I see." A small sniff came from Winry but she hid her watery eyes well by pretending to push her bangs behind her ears. Ed, Al and Winry stood there occwardly as Ed and Al's mother finally arrived from her spot on the hill. She smiled warmly at Winry and greeted her before turning to her boys. Placing a hand on Ed's shoulder she calmly explained,

"Winry's not going to be seeing her parents for a while so why don't you boys escort her to say goodbye, and let them know that the Elric's give their regards…If that would be alright with you dear."

Winry smiled slowly and shook her head 'yes'. Trisha nodded her head in understanding and finished by telling them to leave right after dropping her off, to give them some privacy before they left.

" No…I'm just gonna escort Win." Ed said proudly, and quite sure of himself.

Al pushed his brother behind him, "No- I will!"

Before another full-out fight could ensue the woman with long brown hair pulled her children apart.

"You both can escort her…now run along before the train decides to leave on its own."

Ed and Al pouted before finally giving in and rushing towards Winry, who was already walking down the path. She watched her boys and Winry disappear down the road, all the while she smiled thinking how one day Winry may turn out to be her daughter.

Little did Trisha know that Ed and Al were asked, by Winry, to stay with her longer that day. It was also the first time that Ed and Al had ever seen Winry cry.


End. Sorry it ended on a sad note :( Anyways hope you enjoyed :)
