One day, when Eternity was contemplating the meaning of life(42) and the meaning of her existence, when she noticed a man in state alchemist blue walking down the street. She became panicked and, waking Aria from a nap hurriedly, told her that there was a state alchemist down the street. They put on their shoes and stepped out into the hall to see the man just stepping off of the elevator.
"I'm looking for a Miss Aria and Miss Eternity?" The man asked simply, looking around the hall. There were about ten doors, but theirs was the only one open.
"That's us," Aria replied tersely. Eternity was turning pale.
"Edward Elric and Colonel Mustang were hurt during the war," The man told the two shocked girls gently. "They're in the hospital now, and they've been asking for you two." Eternity grabbed hers and Aria's jackets and briskly followed the military man from the hall back to the elevator.
"How badly are they hurt? Will they be okay? How did it happen?" Eternity fired questions at the officer, wanting to know everything.
"Edward has a deep gash on his side, and Colonel Mustang has a broken leg and he hit his head falling. They'll be okay, as long as they don't try to move around too much. They were attacked." The man answered bluntly. Eternity grabbed the bar in the elevator for support as she swayed. When they got into the car, Eternity turned odd shades of white and gray. Aria was closing her eyes and muttering something incomprehensible to anyone but herself, looking calm but in turmoil inside. Didn't she warn them to stay out of trouble? She shook her head to clear it as they pulled up to the hospital. When they arrived, the only person there was a girl with a black tank top, pants, and a pink jacket tied around her waist sitting down and twisting a wrench nervously.
"I'll see if they can see you two," The nurse promised with what was supposed to be a reassuring smile. Eternity began to pace.
"If they don't try to move around too much," She echoed flatly. "Since when did Ed and Roy not move around?" The girl sitting nearby looked up sharply.
"You know Ed?" She asked, her voice trembling a bit. Aria had been studying this blonde-haired girl since they got there, but the voice was the final straw.
"Eternity," Aria said, her eyes dancing, "This is Winry." Shock passed over Eternity's face, to be replaced by delight.
"You're right!" Eternity exclaimed, grinning and extending her hand to a very startled Winry. "My name's Eternity. I'm friends with Ed and Roy. I've heard about you." Winry shook the hand hesitantly.
"I'm Aria. I'm friends with them too." Aria smiled tightly and held out her own hand to be shook. Winry looked between the two girls that seemed like they already knew her and didn't know what to say. Fortunately, at that time the nurse called all three of them in to see the boys.
