Chapter 2

Winry looked to Edward. What feelings well up inside her chest? What love or compassion bursts

forth for the person before her? Winry looked deep within herself….and……sighed. Huh? Sighed?

Yup she sighed, oh must be for love of Edward did the fair maiden Winry sigh……uhhhh…..nope

doesn't look like that either. Do I love him? Winry thought to herself. But the feelings I have for him

are more like…I don't know , like at least he's around…..I …I just don't know. Winry thought deeply

to herself as she look to Edward, Edward turned to look at Winry and smiled to her. Winry smiled to

him jus enough to let him know she appreciated the smile. Why can't the feeling for him be just like

Ed-kun's?

How could she love Ed-kun but not be sure if she loves Edward? That would be because she is

referring to Edward Hughes. He is a relative to Maes Hughes, sharing a family name but no close

connection. The Hughes family is an aristocratic family whose business is construction. Hughes father

left the family to marry a "commoner". He later died in an accident with his wife leaving behind a 16

year old Maes Hughes to fend for himself. Needless to say the Hughes family although sharing the

same name did little to help Maes, but this is probably what ultimately formed Maes into the kind

hearted man that watched out for Ed and Al Elric. Edward on the other hand was raised as an

aristocrat. So although he shares the same last name the comparisons stop there. Tall black hair, with

facial features surprisingly similar to Edward Elric. Muscular build, without a blemish to any of his

features. All in all a real ladies man. But the facial features and first name were probably the only thing

he had in common with Edward Elric. He saw the common people as means to an end. Power and

prestige were his foremost thoughts when he wasn't courting or bedding women. That's were Winry

comes in, the only woman to resist his "charms" cough cough looks wealth cough cough. And that

had so intrigued him that he sought her out, and after much "work" is going to marry her. To better

understand why don't we take a look at what he's thinking at the moment.

As Edward smiled to Winry he though yes her beauty should serve her well as a trophy wife

should.

He remember the first day he met her in central city when she was working on the automail of one of

his workers. She did not even give him a second look which both infuriated him and intrigued him at

the same time. Flowers, candy, liquor and money did nothing but illicit a few blinks from the

confounding woman. He then tried the hero approach of hiring a few thugs to harass her and then

come to "Save the day". Unfortunately his eloquent tongue somehow caused the hired thugs to

become enraged (he talked major bad on their mama, simply put lol), fear had seized him to the spot

but was fortunately saved by the local policemen. And from there his relationship with Winry grew. He

had even come to this God forsaken town of Resembool, to continue his courtship under the guise of

building a new factory. Well a factory that would produce fake philosopher stones but then Winry

didn't need to know that, I mean it brought jobs to this town did it not? Edward smiled smugly to

himself. He had spent so much time listening to her acting like he cared. Ya like I'd really care about

another commoner who shared my name, so what if he died good riddance he thought to himself.

After dates and night talks he finally convinced her to move on with her life. And that starting a new life

with him was truly the best decision. He knew her aunt did not like him, but she was dumb enough to

trust her niece to make the right choice, hence he showed her the right choice. He smirked to himself

Now if only I could get her to stop calling me eddy-kun…. (A/N he does not like being referred to as

Eddy actually he prefers Ed…..he will therefore from this point on in this fan fiction be referred to as

EDDY from now till the end )

Winry could never call Eddy such a name as Ed-kun. That name was only reserved for the person

that had first stolen her heart. He was dead now she knew that. Equal trade, She remembered it so

well. She could spit on it. But yet the fact remained. To restore Al's body, to "cure" him, would take

something big. To bond a soul took an arm and a leg, literally. It would most likely take everything Ed-

kun had to do what he did. Had it really been already 2 years since he died? A tear threatened to

escape but she forced it back I can't keep crying Ed-kun wouldn't of wanted that, he would of

wanted me to be happy….but am I happy? She looked at Eddy, I just don't know.

"THIS TOWN IS NOW UNDER THE JURISDICTION OF THE NEO FUROR"

Winry was startled out of her thoughts by the loud proclamation. She hurried out of the building to see

what was going on. A large group of soldiers wearing a black version of the military uniform were

gathered in the town square. Winry saw her aunt Pinako hurrying over to the soldiers.

"What is the meaning of this!" demanded Aunt Pinako. The soldier looked at her and stated "We are

from the Neo military, we are the new age, you are blessed to have us show you the way. I, the golem

alchemist, am honored to be your Shepard…" he smiled evilly to Aunt Pinako and the ever growing

crowd. "You have no right and should leave our town this instance, we want know part of your "new

age" here!" Aunt Pinako retorted to the soldier. His smile never left his face, if possible it grew even

more evil. He placed his gloved hand onto the ground, an alchemic array adorning his forehand. The

ground began to glow and 2 human shaped rock golems emerged to hold Pinako Rockbell. Winry

rushed out to her aunt while Eddy stood to the side. No need to worry when the "enemy" is your

partner he thought smugly to himself. He knew the they were coming so he was most definitely not

surprised I just wish the damn Rockbell's would just let things come to pass instead of having to

fight everything head on! he thought angrily. Winry had to fight her way through the crowd before she

got to the clearing where her aunt was being held. "LET HER GO SHE HASN'T DONE ANY

THING TO YOU!" Winry yelled, scared to lose any more of her family. The soldier looked to her "I

merely wanted her to stay and listen to what I have to say, but I guess your right, she won't do

anything to fight back…" He then proceeded to take out his gun and shoot Aunt Pinako in both of her

legs, the golems also crumbling back into the ground. "NOOOOOO!!!!!!" Winry screamed as she ran

to her fallen aunt. "YOU MONSTER!!!!" she yelled at the thing that had shot her aunt. She was trying

her best to put pressure on the wounds but her eyes filled with tears were not helping. She was

oblivious to everything going on in the world, all that mattered right now was she had to save her aunt,

she would not lose another loved one. Performing what medical knowledge she did know she was able

to make a tourniquet to her aunt's legs stopping the bleeding for now, until she could get her further

medical attention. Everything is going to be ok she said to herself, "auntie everything is going to be

ok" she said to her aunt, just trying to reassure herself one more time. Some of the villagers had

already come to help Aunt Pinako and took her from Winry's hands to get her to a doctor as quickly

as they could. She looked up just in time to see a huge stone golem that looked like a giant techno

knight smash the group of soldiers to …well… paste. She looked for the man responsible…..a tall

naked man, blonde hair, well built, automail arm and leg like none she had ever seen, and uhh did I

mention naked, then recognition kicked in….."Ed?" without realizing it her feet had already begun

carrying her to the mysterious man before her. It couldn't be Ed could it? As she neared the man he

faltered, grabbing onto her for support. Correction…..grabbing onto her breast for support. Then he

looked at her, with golden brown eyes she could never forget. The look of recognition in his eyes, the

sound of his voice as he said her name, she was in utter happiness, and yet old habits die hard…."ED

NO BAKA!!!!" as she swung her wrench that she knew would knock him out, she couldn't help but

smile knowing that the full metal alchemist Edward Elric was back.

Ed blearily awake from his ummm induced slumber. He noticed his bullet wound was bandaged up.

He shook his head to get the cobwebs out. For the first time he got a real look at his new "arm". The

design was sleek and almost seamless with his flesh. It was a real work of art. The contour of the arm

made it seem so delicate but showed that it held power. He could even feel the power from his new

arm. Fingering the area where his body met his new arm, he slowly got out of bed the blankets falling

to the ground. He walked to the mirror admiring how the arm moved. The leg was equally as artful as

his arm, it was seemed as though it was almost meant to be there. Thoughts on how it came to be

where pushed to the back burner unless you investigate everything you can in the present you have

no hope to understand what you may need to in the future he thought to himself. He also noticed that

his body was a bit more defined, actually he was pretty damn built now. Not like a body builders, but

lean and toned, each muscle showing they had power and purpose to them. A vague thought was

pushing itself through trying to make itself known. He had it on the tip of his tongue, now what was

it…..damn this confusion, will it ever end? Just then the door opened Ed looked down revealing

Winry in her work clothes, looking pretty damn cute….but wait…looked down? He HAD to look

DOWN?!?!?! He looked to the mirror then Winry, then the mirror, then Winry, finally running up to

Winry pushing another vague thought away for the moment, choosing to lift her up and twirl her

chanting "I'M TALL! I'M TALL!" Damn it feels good to hold her in my arms, I feel like I haven't

seen her in forever, god she looks sexy, what I would….. in that moment something actually audibly

clicked in the Full metal Alchemist mind. His genius mind had finally analyzed the situation and come

up with the answer he had been searching for, the vague thought that had been persevering to his fore

conscious. I'm naked aren't I "I'm naked aren't I" he both thought and said, receiving another

wrench to the cheek. "Well at least she didn't knock me out this time" he said to himself "Now I gotta

go find her….uhhh but first clothes…."

To be continued…..

Next time…

"How could you cheat on me with another ED!!!!" Winry cried pulling Ed's braids so tight that his eye's bulged out….
