Edward's day was not going exactly great. Three days ago, Colonel Roy Mustang, not having his usual "I-will-light-you-on-fire-if-you-don't-listen-to-me" attitude, decided to give him a week off. Ed saw this as a rare lapse in the Colonel. Nevertheless, Ed now had all the freedom to go wherever he wished to; the first thing was to go to a restaurant in Central where he could eat everything.

Then, of course, there was that incident that same night. Ed had a lot to think about, but all that was on his mind was staying as far away from Winry as possible. Fortunately, his hiding spot was working pretty well. Sure, it was just a statue of him made out of bronze, but really. Why would you want to smash apart an Edward statue? The only drawback about the statue was that Ed could not clearly hear anything on the outside.

"I guess I made it extra thick. I can't hear anything on the outside. Oh well. What should I do with Winry now?" He sighed. "She must be very angry with me. This must have been what, like the fourth time I've done this. I know I can't stay here the whole day. I'm hungry. Hm? Oh yeah, Winry's cooking a lot these days. That pie she made smelled good. Hah, considering what I did, she'd probably give me a good wrench pie than an apple pie. Just thinking about it makes me squirm."

Suddenly, Ed felt a strong push on the statue. A force that felt like...like...like someone was hitting the statue.

"WHOA! What the hell is going on?!" Ed suddenly heard a faint rustling. "Uh...." It was then that his so-called "impermeable" statue started to break apart. "N-naniiiiiiii?!"

The statue was completely demolished, and its remains lay on top of Ed. He emerged from the pile of bronze, coughing from the dust it brought.

"Well, well. Congratulations, it's a boy."

Complete shock came over Ed as he listened to that voice. Shiiiiiiiiiiiit, he thought to himself. She really is pissed this time. Reluctantly, he looked up to meet those blue eyes.

"Edward Elric, you've got a lot of nerve coming back here, after what you did last night."

"Uh...hehe...Winry....eh....that is, to say...I can...explain...hehe." Ed nervously said.
