Author's Note: Yes, I'm starting to expand away from Inuyasha fanfictions … I hope you all enjoy my FullMetal Alchemist stories. (Grin) I'm having a lot of fun writing them. Of course, they're all still romance, but … what can I say. (Sweatdrop) I don't know how many chapters are going to go into this, but they're all one-shots of EdxWin put together. Most are probably going to be less than 100 words, you know, ficlets.

As the Children Play
Chapter I; For the Little Things
"C'mon, Win, there's the coolest thing by the river! Hurry up!" Ed grabbed the little girl's hand in his own tiny one and ran off, dragging her behind him.
"Ed! Wait! We don't even have shoes on!" a young Winry exclaimed.
"Win, it doesn't matter! You have to see it. It's so COOL!"
Ed pulled Winry along through the brambles, careful to help her up when they slipped on moss.
"Ed, you're such and idiot," the small girl muttered, as he continued to lead her father and father up river.
"Look, Winry." Edward pointed at a small patch where there was no grass, but around the spot was tall wild plants and cat tails, where little frogs croaked and crickets sang. But what rested in the soft dirt was what Ed was showing her.
"Oh my gosh, Ed! Thank you so much! How did you afford this! They're so neat … and they're NEW!" She held in her hands two large wrenches. Ed knew the little girl was fascinated by machines.
"Happy birthday, Win."
The young girl pulled her friend into a tight hug and placed a chaste kiss on his lips.
Birday heureux, Winry. (Happy birthday, Winry.)
I hope you all enjoyed this. (Grins) I had fun writing it. Please review if you have the time.
