The Other Side of the Door
2
Everyone ran toward the door yelling his name, horrified that something could have gone wrong with the young boy. Slowly the door creeped open, and there stood Edward, looking rather grim. The others looked at him quizically wondering what on earth could be wrong with the boy. Finally Winry took the iniative and asked.
"What's wrong, Ed?"
"Winry..." he said with a pause, trying to collect his thoughts.
"I... I'm a girl..."
Winry blinked for a moment attempting to grasp what he just said to her.
"A girl, Ed? What are you talking about? You can't be a girl."
"It's true, Winry! I swear..something is different.."
Upon hearing this Pinako raised one of her eyebrows and ordered the others to leave for a moment. They quickly filed out of the room shutting the door behind them. Quickly she looked over the boy, noticing slight changes on his body. She glanced from the ground up, his body indeed looked off to her, she noticed that his arms and legs looked smaller, less muscular, yet at the same time smoother. His hips looked slightly wider, as did his backside. She glanced up and noticed 2 slight bumps on his chest this is when she began to lose the doubt she had held, could it be true that he had become a girl, was that even possible. His hair seemed longer, and kept falling into his face, his eyes softer.
"Amazing Ed, you really did turn into a girl.."
"What am I going to do, Aunt Pinako? I don't know anything about being a girl!"
"I'm not entirely sure what to tell you, Ed. You certainly don't have to dress or act like a girl, but that won't change the fact. Give some thought onto what you want to do..I'm going to go work on your arm.."
With that said Pinako walked over towards a dresser. Took out a shirt and a pair of pants. Nothing too girly or anything. She handed it over to Ed who promptly dressed. Pinako left the room allowing Winry and Al back in. Winry rushed to her childhood friend's side, placing a hand onto her shoulder.
"So it's true..?"
"Yeah... it's true... I'm not sure what I should do Winry..."
"You should keep going... with what you want to do..."
Ed sighed inwardly to herself, walked toward the bed and laid down staring at the ceiling wondering what to do next... She could live the quiet life here... but that wouldn't work..she has to get her brother's body back... Even in this form...the Military is the only place she can go... She'll have to meet up with Mustang... but first the automail needs to be finished.
