A/N: Hmmm, okay, well, lately I've heard that reviewer responses aren't allowed here anymore. What's up with that? I didn't see that as a new rule in the guidelines, so where did that rumor pop up? I just want to know if it's true or not (wouldn't surprise me; this site has way too many stupid rules…). But just to be safe, I won't do reviewer responses for this drabble. But remember I LOVE YOU ALL! n.n And I read all my reviews and they makeh meh happeh. But enough about that. This is a note on this drabble – I'll say it right now. I am not a Winry fan. That's all. Please read and review!

40. Winry & Ed – Shut Up

"Hey, Ed, guess what? Guess what guess what guess what?"

"What?"

"Lookit these shoes? Aren't they pretty? I got 'em imported from India. Aren't they neat? They're really neat, aren't they? I know! I wanted to get them in purple, but they didn't have my size… Grrr, I was so mad! Is it so hard to find a simple size eight shoe in freakin' purple? Huh? Huh? Ed, next time we go shopping, I want you to look as hard as you can for size eight purple shoes, 'kay? You owe me for your last automail tune-up anyway…

"But no really, Ed? Tell me what you honestly think of the haircut? I mean, I know it was just an inch and then a bang trim, but I'm worried. The stylist was like, stupid or something. So I'm worried. What do you think, Ed? Does it look good? Do you like it better down or in a ponytail? Hey, do you think that this hair ribbon will match my shoes? I mean, it's not exactly the same color, but it's close, right? I really wanna know…"

"Sure, Winry."

"So I was thinking, Ed… One of these days we'll have to like… go shopping again. 'Cuz ya know in Rush Valley they have this brand-spankin-new… thing! I mean, I don't really know what it does, but I saw it in a catalog and—Ohhh, Ed, I want it! You have to buy it for me! Please please please please pleeease? 'Cuz it would make me really happy if you did. And ya know when I'm happy, everybody's happy, so it works out just great, doesn't it?

"Oh my gosh, you'll never believe what I heard about Johnny. You know that lazy-eyed kid with the bad haircut about half a mile from here? Well he's getting married. Ew! Like, I know, who would wanna marry that kid? He's so weird… And he totally hates mechanics. I was talking to him the other day and I was like, 'So, automail is cool', right? And he just looks at me and says, 'Yeah, whatever, Wendy.' Psht! The nerve of him! My name is Winry! Winry!"

"Yup. Sure is."

"Ed, are you even listening to me?"

Ed closed the book he was trying to read and looked Winry straight in the eye, nostrils flaring. "Winry," he said. "For the love of alchemy, please shut up!"

A/N: My Winry-bashing skills are amazing. v.v Sorry for any EdWin fans!
