Chapter 2- What are you doing here?

Winry stepped off the train and stretched with a huge smile on her face. "I'm finally here!" She slowly took in her new surrounding. "I've never been anywhere but Rizenbool, Dublith, Ishbal, Rushvalley, and Central before… Oh well! Just another town to add to the list!" People stared at her as though she was insane. She chose to ignore them and walked out of the train station.

I woman on the street turned to the man next to her, who was obviously her husband, upon seeing Winry "Oh! Please tell me not again! What business does the military have here!"

Winry was greatly offended by this "Calm down hunny, it'll be alright… the holy mother is coming just down the road... with her around, nothing can go wrong." The man comforted.

Winry looked the way he had motions and thought 'holy mother?' There were people in hooded robes walking in her direction. They were in a circle and within the circle they concealed the "holy mother" and her baby boy.

The crowds that stood in the street began making a path and bowing their heads toward the middle whispering to each other "It's the holy mother, she's coming"

Winry walked to an open bar that was close by. Everyone was silent, looking on at the holy mother. "Do you have anything non-alcoholic.? If so I'd like to order that" the bartender made to get her order. A boy turned his head to look at her. His smooth brown hair flowed down his back. Something about Winry had pulled his attention from the holy mother/ "What are you looking at? You creep!" Winry shouted.

He stood up and examined Winry good which made Winry think about hitting him over the head with her wrench which she carried on her belt: just for Ed. Winry took note that the boy was awfully short and reminded her of a certain midget whos name shall not be released. "Win-ry?" the boy asked cautiously. Winry could recognize that voice anywhere. "What the hell are you wearing that uniform for!" he demanded and slammed his hands on the counter. His right hand made a distinct sound, that Winry also recognized right of the bat, when the metal digits formed a fist.

"Why are you wearing that silly wig, sir?"

He looked at her, anger flaring in his eyes "What are you doing here! And why did you call me sir…!" people around shhhed them so the boy grabbed Winry's hand and dragged her into an alley. When he grabbed her hand she felt her heart skip a beat. "Winry! Answer me!" Winry felt tears weld up in her eyes 'come on Winry, be brave' she said to herself. "Now..! Winry!"

Winry took a deep breath and saluted the boy while standing in attention, "I'm sorry, I should had introduced myself properly… I am Warrant Officer Winry Rockbell… your subordinate" she said with complete lack of confidence but knew she could not be fired, not could she fail.

"WHAT!" He yelled in disbelief "You're fired!"

"I'm sorry, Edward, you don't have the power to fire me."

"Who says!" he continued his yelling

"Roy"

"Is… he the one who hired you?" Ed asked, clenching his teeth together.

Winry looked down "Yes… but I didn't give him much other choice… so don't you dare blame him"

Ed pulled her arm out of the salute "Why" He had softened much more when Winry started looking sad "Why did you join the military!" His face looked pained.

Winry looked at his golden eyes and thought of saying "because that is where you are!" "To protect the one I love from danger!" but she couldn't say that. She didn't have the courage yet. 'and anyways' she told herself, gripping her hands tight 'he's so stupid… he'd either misconstrue it as friendship or think I'm in love with someone else… which will really freak him out!' "I.. can't tell you Ed… I can't, right now…"

"Then go home until you can!" he shouted

"Ed… I may be in the military, and you may be of a higher rank, but that doesn't prevent me from carrying my wrench, and it sure doesn't protect you from it!" Winry was mad… really mad.

Ed cringed at that "Fine. But don't get in the way!" He walked out of the alley, ending the fight. They holy mother was just passing through that spot even though they had been arguing for quite some time. Ed managed to get a look at the holy mother and her baby "Roze…?" he asked himself.

Winry walked up behind him "Who is Roze?"

"What?" Ed asked

"You said the name Roze… who is she?"

"No one… just someone me and Al met when searching for the Philosopher's stone, when this town was run by the corrupt Cornello." Ed informed her.

"Oh…" Winry responded

"Winry go back to my Inn" Ed said and gave her the key "I have to find Scar"

Winry nodded, not feeling like arguing in the street, and went off. Ed looked around and scratched his head 'Where can he be..?' Ed looked down an alley and saw a shadow on the wall at the far end but couldn't see the person whom it belonged to. 'It is tall so it must be a man' Ed noticed that the alley turned around the building and figured he must be around the corner. Ed's shoes made more noise then he wanted. The person obviously heard him and looked to see who it was "Edward Elric – FullMetal Alchemist"

"Scar" Ed said and charged him

Winry felt something was wrong when she got to the inn. 'I joined the military to protect Ed… so what am I doing here in the Inn? I should be out there protecting him… no hesitating… no holding back' She stood up and walked out, back towards where she left Ed.
