I just saw a trailer for the FMA movie. Rawr. I want to see it Growl. Gotta wait until July 23rd. .
For those who haven't notice or don't know me, I used to be Keeper of Yoh. But I have changed my name to Suteki Yume. I thought it was time for a change. :3
Alrighties! Off to the story!
Just Reminisce
Summary: Edward, Alphonse, and Winry have been an inseparable trio. They played and fought together. However, when Winry has to move to another town, the trios lessens to a duo. Five years later they reunite. What goes through Edward's head when he sees Winry with different eyes? EdWinry AU
Swings, toys, slides, sandboxes. All of those stand for things you've seen as a child. The teeter totter, the field of grass, the river bank. All stand in my memory from childhood. So innocent then. Not having a care in the world. It was when friendships were made. Ones that would last time. Ones where friends would stick with each other through thick and thin. Special long lasting friendships…
"You're such a bean!"
Hmm. Maybe this one is an exception.
Feeling a twitch and a surge of rage coming on, I drop a bag I was holding and glare at the girl that insulted me so. "Funny. I was thinking you as a machine head who has nothing else better to do than play with metal toys!" I shot back.
She slowly turned her head at me. I was too caught up in myself to notice her angry expression.
"Ne… nii-san…" My younger brother, Alphonse, tried to get me to stop. But no! Winry Rockbell wasn't going to get away with insulting my height. I waved my hand at Al in an annoyed matter. "Ha! It's alright, Al. What is she going to do, hit me--"
CLANK! A heavy object hit my head and I fell to the ground. Why did she have to hit me with that wrench? More so… where did she keep that thing? "Edo, you're such an idiot!" With that, the young girl stomped away.
"Kuso…" I mumbled as I struggled to get up. "You two always fight for no reason"Al laughed. He helped me up as I held my head. "She always starts it!" I growled. It was true; she did.
But then… it's something we've always done. We've always found the dumbest thing quarrel over. Yet, that's something that has kept us together, I guess. Cats, socks, marbles, muffins. Something really random could send us over the edge.
I felt sorry for Al. He was always in the middle of it. But he always found it funny; so I guess it didn't bother him.
Alphonse, Winry, and I. We were always inseparable. We happily lived together in our quiet little country town. We played, we fought, we cried, we laughed. Our friendship was special. Nothing could tear us apart.
… Or so we thought.
We were about 10 when Winry got a call from her relatives. That day… argh. Still that day seems so blurry, now that I think back.
We were playing at the river bank while Winry's grandmother was out doing business with an out of town client. Around 5 o'clock or so, we were getting a little hungry and decided to walk to Winry's to get something to eat. We walked in and there was no one home. The lights were still on and so was the TV.
"Baa-san must not be home yet" Winry said. I nodded and walked to the fridge. "Hope that old lady doesn't mind if we take some food" I snicker. Al frowns. "That's not nice" I shrug and continue my activities.
The phone rings. Oblivious as we were when we were children, we didn't notice that that cursed machine was ringing. It took about a good 10 minutes before I lost my mind.
"ARGH! Someone answer that thing!" The other two didn't notice the noise until I said something. Winry skips to the phone, humming. "Hello?" She said in a cheery voice. Al and I began to bicker about having the last Oreo. And he certainly was not going to get it. That was for sure.
"…okay" The phone clicked when hung up. However, my battle with my brother wasn't over. We pulled and argued. It stopped, though, when Den walked over and took the cookie out of our hands. We stared at him as he walked away. Shrugging, I got up and glanced at Winry. She was still standing by the phone. "Winry?" I asked, breaking her silence. She looked up at me with tears strolling down her face. "Ed!" She jumped on me, causing us to fall on the floor. "W-Winry?" I was surprised. She cried, burying her face in my shirt. Al and I exchanged worried looks and then tried to comfort our friend. "What's wrong?" Al asked.
"Grandma Pinako… is in the hospital. My aunt just called. She wants me to stay with her until she gets out of the hospital" She cried. Hospital? Being with her aunt? For how long? These questions buzzing in my mind, but never leaning my head. We just looked sadly at her as she cried.
The next day a car drove by and stopped in front of the Rockbell house. Al hugged Winry and tried to comfort her. Me? I was left speechless. I still couldn't believe that one of my best friends had to move away. I felt so helpless and weak. I wanted to do at least something. Something so that we wouldn't forget each other.
But all I could do was watch that car drive away. The last thing I remember are my legs starting to run after the car and calling her name.
But that was the last I saw of her. I can't even think of what she's doing now. I just sit back and look at that now empty house we used to play in. Where is she? What's she doing? Who is she with?
… Is she thinking of me?
Urg. I didn't mean to make the first chapter so long. They won't be too long next chapter!
