"Where're home yeah, yeah, yeah!" exclaimed Al jumping up and down like a little kid. "Calm down Al I know your happy but just wait till we get to the house" and with that Ed started walking towards the Rockbell house. It was about five minutes until Al spoke to his elder brother about something he knew Ed would get furious about but Al just had to know.
"Brother do you……" Al said in almost a whisper.
"What is it Al what's the matter" Ed said looking at Al with a curious expression on his older looking face.
"Um do you like…I mean love…….Winry?" Al said quickly and looked at his brother but couldn't see his face because Ed was looking the other way. So Al ran around to Ed's other side and was very surprised what he saw on his brothers face. Ed's face from top to bottom was bright red and sweaty. Al started to chuckle very lightly but then became louder and louder but was cut off by
"SHUT UP AL!" from Ed who now grabbed him by his jacket identically to Ed's own.
"Eh I'm sorry I'm sorry brother just please don't hurt me" cried Al squirming from the strong grip from his raged brother. Finally Ed let his grip go on Al and Al fell to the ground hard and dust flew everywhere. When the smoke cleared Al saw his brother sitting on a large rock, where they always used to play with Winry.
Ed's head was in his hands and didn't move until Al sat next to him and said "I'm sorry I made you mad brother I'll never talk about that again I just thought you like…"
"No, I'm sorry Al I shouldn't have snapped at you like that about something as stupid as that" said Ed in a soft whisper. Al signed and looked out into the bright clear sky but snapped his head back to Ed when he heard Ed say something under his breath.
"I guess I should tell you about this but I wanted to tell you when you were but I guess you are now so here I go" replied Ed who now was looking up at the sky as Al was before. "It all started when I was in the other world with Al Hedrick (sp)……….."
Flashback
"Hey Ed turn here this is the bar I told you about, lets stop here to get something to eat" said Al who was in the back seat.
"Oh uh sure" Ed said at the drivers seat of his new car. Al and Ed got of the car and walked in to the crowed bar.
"Hey Ed, Al over here" waved Noah, a beautiful gypsy who had a huge crush on Ed. "Hey Noah why are you here" exclaimed Al.
"Oh tonight's the karaoke and we always go to anyone we can get to so here we are!" Noah exclaimed with a big smile.
"Well good luck" said Ed who put on the best smile he could and Noah blushed furiously but Ed didn't noticed because he and Al walked away and sat at the bar.
"May I take your order came a female voice in front of them. Ed looked up and could have sworn that he saw Riza but her name was Crystal, well that is what it said on her name tag. But she looked exactly like Riza, she had long brown hair and purple eyes and she was very beautiful, well from the look at Al's face yeah.
"Yeah, I'll just get some water" replied Ed.
Ed looked over at Al and nudged him "um….I'll….um get….." Al said
"He'll get water too, thanks" Said Ed for him
"Huh, thanks Ed she's just so damn hot, why don't you have that affect about her" said Al.
Ed said "Well, you know how I said most of these people look the same as my world people?"
"Yeah" said Al
"Well she looks just like Lieutenant Riza Hawkeye but, she had blonde hair and kind of red eyes" replied Ed.
"Hey, Ed"
"Oh hey James, I was wondering why that girl took our order today instead of you" said Ed looking at a replica of Roy Mustang but had brown hair and brown eyes.
"Oh, well I just hired her today so I'm letting her do most of my work today. But isn't she hot!" exclaimed James
"Ohhhhhh, I wonder why, huh, huh!" said Ed with a sly smirk on his face.
"Oh um, hey what about your dream girl Winry from the other world or whatever you call it!" exclaimed James with a desperate way to save himself.
"Well, okay I'll tell you about her and show you! I have a slideshow of pictures of her, me, and my younger brother" Ed said and through a disk to the projector man who put it into the slot. Ed then grabbed the karaoke microphone and said "HIT IT"
"She's cold and she's cruel
But she knows what she's doin'
She pushed me in the pool
At our last school reunion
She laughs at my dreams
But I dream about her laughter
Strange as it seems
She's the one I'm after
Cause she's bittersweet
She knocks me off my feet
And I can't help myself
I don't want anyone else
She's a mystery
She's too much for me
But I keep comin' back for more
She's just the girl I'm lookin' for
She can't keep a secret
For more than an hour
She runs on 100 proof attitude power
And the more she ignores me
The more I adore her
What can I do?
I'd do anything for her
Cause she's bittersweet
She knocks me off my feet
And I can't help myself
I don't want anyone else
She's too much for me
But I keep comin' back for more
She's just the girl I'm lookin' for
The way she sees
it's me
On her caller ID
She won't pick up the phone
She'd
rather be alone
But I can't give up just yet
Cause every word
she's ever said
Is still ringin' in my head
Still ringin' in my
head
She's cold and she's cruel
But she knows what she's
doin'
Knows just what to say
So my whole day is ruined
Cause
she's bittersweet
She knocks me off of my feet
And I can't help
myself
I don't want anyone else
She's a mystery
She's too
much for me
But I keep comin' back for more
Cause she's
bittersweet
She knocks me off of my feet
And I can't help
myself
I don't want anyone else
She's a mystery
She's too
much for me
But I keep comin' back for more
Oh, I keep comin'
back for more
She's just the girl I'm lookin' for
Just the girl
I'm lookin' for
I'm lookin' for
I'm lookin' for
I'm
lookin' for
Just the girl I'm lookin' for
"Wow Ed you're a really good singer, have you ever thought of a career?" exclaimed an amazed James.
"Yeah Ed, and that Winry girl is damn hot! Why didn't you ask her out when you were younger?" Al said
"Uh, well because I thought she wouldn't want to" Ed replied with a frown.
"Well then this is a good reason to get you home Ed" said Al smiling at Ed and Ed smiled back hopeful.
End of Ed's Flashback
"Wow brother that's one amazing story" Al exclaimed to Ed.
"Well that's just the beginning of it" said Ed
Ed's 2nd Flashback
"Morin' Al, Noah" exclaimed a cheerful Ed because he just had another dream about the girl he was once madly in love about, Winry Rockbell, his auto mail mechanic and childhood lover but she didn't know that.
"Hey lover boy" Al said with a smirk on his face but Noah didn't look to happy
"Huh?" was all that came out of Ed's mouth as his face turned to a bright red and looked very puzzled.
"Well Noah said you were talking and then singing about that hot chick, Winry!" AL yelled out with the same smirk on his face. Al looked over at Noah and said "Come on Noah, tell him what you heard last night, you did sneak into his bedroom"
"YOU SNUCK INTO MY BEDROOM" exclaimed a nervous Ed "DUDE CAN"T A MAN GET SOME PRIVACY ESPECIALLY WHEN HE ONLY WEARS BOXERS TO BED". The only girl he wanted to sneak into his bedroom while he was sleeping was Winry.
"Oh fine, just to get this thought out of my head!" Noah said.
Noah's Flashback
Noah walks into Ed's room and stares at sleeping Ed who she thought looked perfectly sexy. Ed's blue covers were up over his body (she just wanted to take them off) (I'm trying to make Noah look bad because I only like EDxWINRY hehehe) and his blonde hair laid peacefully on the pure white pillow. Noah stared lustfully at him until she heard him say something that made her pissed off "Winry……Winry your so beautiful" Ed said softly in his sleep. Then all of a sudden Ed started singing. Noah knew Ed was dreaming about this 'Winry girl' so she listened to his song quietly to here what he was singing. It went something like this……
She says she's no
good with words but I'm worse
Barely stuttered out
"A joke
of a romantic" or stuck to my tongue
Weighed down with words
too over-dramatic
Tonight it's "it can't get much worse"
Vs. "no one should ever feel like.."
I'm two
quarters and a heart down
And I don't want to forget how your
voice sounds
These words are all I have so I'll write them
So
you need them just to get by
Dance, Dance
We're falling
apart to half time
Dance, Dance
And these are the lives you'd
love to lead
Dance, this is the way they'd love
If they knew
how misery loved me
You always fold just before you're found
out
Drink up its last call
Last resort
But only the first
mistake and I...
I'm two quarters and a heart down
And I
don't want to forget how your voice sounds
These words are all I
have so I'll write them
So you need them just to get by
Why
don't you show me the little bit of spine
You've been saving for
his mattress, love
Dance, Dance
We're falling apart to half
time
Dance, Dance
And these are the lives you'd love to
lead
Dance, this is the way they'd love
If they knew how misery
loved me
Why don't you show me the little bit of spine
You've
been saving for his mattress (mattress, mattress)
I only want
sympathy in the form of you crawling into bed with me
Dance,
Dance
We're falling apart to half time
Dance, Dance
And
these are the lives you'd love to lead
Dance this is the way
they'd love (way they'd love)
Dance this is the way they'd love
(way they'd love)
Dance this is the way they'd love
If they
knew how misery loved me
Dance, Dance
Dance, Dance
Dance,
Dance
Dance, Dance
With that Noah walked out of Ed's room pissed off and went to bed.
End of Noah's Flashback
"Happy" exclaimed Noah in a sarcastic tone. Al nodded and looked over to Ed who was sweating, shaking, and his face turned from a light red to dark red because of how much he was blushing about his dream. Al burst out laughing so hard that he fell off of his chair. Noah got up and went to her room without saying a word. Ed ran to his room and locked the door behind him and slide down the door and tried to think of new songs for his new cd he was making which most of the songs were about Winry and him.
End of Ed's Flashback
"Wow brother, you actually dreamt about Winry!" exclaimed a happy Al. Al always wanted Ed and Winry to get married and he become a son-in-law and an Uncle.
"Why are you smiling so evilly Al, what are you thinking about" asked a curious Ed
"Nothing, nothing at all bro, you know what I'm going to get you and Winry together" Al exclaimed positive thoughts.
"I don't think that's going to happen. She probably already married to some handsome tall man who loves mechanics and is always there for her, not like me who is short hates all those tools and always left her. She also probably never wants to see me again anyway" Ed signed. SLAP Ed's face was now bright red from a direct hit from Al.
"How dare you say that Ed. Winry's always loved you and would never think of you as that type of person?" Al said in a loud anger voice. Al then grabbed Ed's ponytail and dragged him towards the Rockbell house. "We are going to their house and no buts we are getting you to talk to Winry and go on a date with even if she is married and I have to kill her husband!" (Al's evil YEAH!)
