5.A visit from Winry!

It was an ordinary, boring, supremely monotonous day in Central, when a familiar figure hopped off the train followed by three large bags of enormous proportions and a giant wrench that no one but the familiar figure could see.

"Come on," Winry told the obscenely large wrench that was not really there and who was her imaginary friend. "I want to sock Ed on the head with you for making it rain milk the day before he came to visit me."

"Why didn't you sock him with a wrench earlier?" asked the wrench.

"Because I didn't know you back then," Winry said with evil cheerfulness. "And you're soooooooooooo much bigger than all of my other wrenches! Plus you'll probably give him a concussion when you hit him. And he just might not be able to see you. Which would be perfect, because he would be attacked by something invisible, yet deadly!"

"Okay, I didn't get one word of what you were saying, but it'll probably be fun, like eating candy or something," the wrench that no one but maybe Ed could see.

When Winry walked into the office, everyone stared at her.

"Winry," Roy said nervously. "When did you get a giant floating wrench that looks capable of giving someone the size of Armstrong a concussion?"

"You can see him?" Winry asked with interest.

"Yeah," Roy said, still wary. You didn't live around Ed for long to notice that his mechanic was dangerous with wrenches.

"I can see it too," Fury put in.

"Me three! Do you want to look at some of my newest pictures of Alicia?"

"Yeah, I see it. Do you have a lighter on you? I seemed to have misplaced mine."

"What?"

"I wonder if I could shoot it…"

"HI WINRY!" shrieked Al.

"Uh-oh," muttered Ed. He and Al had just walked through the door.

"Meow," said Al's chest plate.

"Al!" yelled Ed, forgetting Winry for the moment. "Where did you get that CAT!"

With Ed's distraction, Winry picked up the giant wrench and swung it hard at Ed. There was a squishy sound, and Ed turned into a puddle of non-fat coffee.

"YEA, COFFEE!" screamed Roy. Before anyone could stop him, he had pulled this king-sized mug as big as Winry out of nowhere and was scraping it along the ground, collecting all of the coffee. He took a drink, then spit it out. "It needs sugar," he said, "and LOTS OF IT!" He then pulled a giant sugar bowl out of nowhere(again), and proceeded to dump the entire thing into the king-sized coffee mug the size of Winry. He grabbed the giant wrench and began to stir in the sugar with it. Then he leaned over and stuck his head into the mug and began to drink again. This time he didn't spit it out.

"Okay," said Havoc. "That was completely random. And why did Ed turn into coffee?"

I was going to do something a little more like him having swirly eyes, but I decided that that was too predictable and not completely random. Besides, this collection of drabbles and short stories is called RANDOM Tales, not COMPLETELY PREDICTABLE SWIRLY-EYED Tales. And blah blah blah ….

The entire cast except Hughes groaned. "Did you have to get her started on that list of reasons why Ed-should-have-been-turned-into-coffee-and-not-have-had-just-swirly-eyes? She'll go on FOREVER!" moaned Al.

"But she's so cool!" protested Hughes. "I would never have been able to list all those reasons if I was her. She's AWESOME!"

Awe, thanks Hughes!

"…er…right," muttered Fury to Al.

I HEARD THAT!

A/n-My sanity was running low today…
