Genkai: Yo, again! I'm writing this a bit early, so I don't know if anyone reviewed….so…yeah. My take on when Winry, Al and Ed are in Rush Valley.

Disclaimer: Don't own.

Edward and Alphonse, Elric, the Elric Brothers. Who are they really, I'm sure they have many reasons, only they can comprehend, but what happens when it all crumbles like ashes?

Edward yawned, he didn't want to spend the night sleeping on a park bench like some homeless guy, be he hadn't a choice, Winry had run off.

"Brother, do you think Winry is alright by her self?" Alphonse asked, he didn't feel the summer's cool breeze like his older brother could.

"She wouldn't be, by her self, if she hadn't run off like that, what's her problem anyway?" The blonde muttered, his human hand brushing the large bump, Winry's wrench had smacked him with earlier.

"Well she has her reasons for being upset, Brother…" Al said trying to reason with him…

"Whatever." Edward said and got up, the sun had already set and he was hungry, as usual.

"Where are you going, now?" Alphonse asked, he was in a suit of armor, but he still felt drained of his energy and didn't feel like chasing Edward around Rush Valley now.

"To look for some food…" Ed said and walked off, leaving Al to stay and wait in the oncoming darkness, the only light, a street light…

Edward groaned in agony, all the shops were closed, poor Edward, no food tonight! He was just about to go back to his little brother when he saw Winry outside with another, the girl from earlier at the Automail Competition.

"They're real jerks! I can't believe he'd use Alchemy to cheat, with my automail!" Winry was ranting to the other girl. "They never tell me anything, and all he cares about it having real arms, I bet he thinks if he had his real arm, he'd win in an Automail Competition, well not a chance! Edward has no idea how I feel it's so-" Winry was cut off by the girl….

"Maybe you should tell them, how you feel." She said strongly, Winry nodded and they walked off.

Edward smirked, he knew Winry would come back to them apologizing for her actions in no time.

"Brother, there you are, it's getting even darker…" Al's concerned voice slung him back to reality; Ed had gone back to Alphonse, not motioning what he saw.

"Yeah well I'll be fine, let's get some shut eye." Edward said and sat back down on the bench and Al was next to him. Edward dozed off, curled into a protective ball.

"Brother, I really wish you'd stop being as cold as your Automail…and bring out the Human side of it more, all you use it for is fighting, you never try and use it when you shake someone's hand, to wave…." Al thought out loud, once he was sure Edward was sleeping of course. "I still don't know….why you won't me help with our mission to restore our bodies." Al sighed and stopped talking out loud; he didn't want to cause suspicion to any passersby.

Morning rose and Edward sat up, "Hey, morning Al." He smiled and got up, straightening his clothes out, Al got up silently.

"Edward, Alphonse!" Winry called and they turned in the direction of her voice.

"Winry! Are you okay? What happened after you ran off?" Alphonse asked happy that she was talking to them.

"I'm great! Edward….?" She blinked when she saw Edward smirking, "what's up?" She asked.

"I knew she'd come back." He said and received two looks of puzzlement. "I saw her last night, talking to some girl…." Edward explained and Al put his hands hips, angry.

"Why didn't you tell me, it would've saved me all my worrying!" Al exclaimed.

"I wanted to surprise you?" Ed blinked, not quiet the reaction Ed was expecting.

"Edward, I'm leaving." Winry said firmly.

"Okay, wait! Why?" Ed asked and gaped at her calmness.

"Why, because you burn down your house, break your automail, get hurt, use alchemy, make me worry, and hurt your brother!" Winry said tears welling up in her blue eyes.

"What are you babbling about?" Edward asked.

"You're so stupid! You don't know what you're doing to me, I wait for you, every day, a call or a letter will do or even you coming back, not just when you need a new arm either!" Winry continued. "And Alphonse has to go with you, he wants to help you, ed and you won't let him!" She glared and ran off, Edward turned to Al.

"Well?" Ed said tapping his foot on the ground, "You're with my side right/" Ed asked.

"Why does there have to be sides!" Al cried and ran after Winry, calling her name as his armor made loud chunky noises…

"Al, Alphonse!" Edward yelled and ran after him; soon they all caught up to each other at the train station. Which is quite a sprint, I must say.

"I said, I'm leaving you this time, so you don't have to leave me." Winry repeated and got on the train.

"How long?" Ed asked as it started to pull away…

"Mainichi!" She yelled back.

"Nice going brother, you just lost us our best friend!" Al said hysterically.

"Everyday…? Why would she be gone everyday?" Ed muttered….

Meanwhile Winry sighed, sitting comfortably on a train, she didn't care where it was going, as long as it would take her away.

'Those boys….mainly I'm mad at Ed though….' She thought, folding her arms and looked down at her lap. Winry took a while to get home, she made a stop in Central, she meet up with Sheska and Winry and her have become great friends.

Winry could move on without d or Al, they left her so many times to fall back into danger, now she could leave them and fall back into life…

Winry looked out the window of her home in Rosenbul and sighed, she had more customers from the State who need metal limbs to fight on, Pinako and her reluctantly agreed, they didn't want to be party of the cause and effect.

'I'm gone Mainichi….like they once were….' She thought and turned back to her work, she thought of them, and wondered if they thought of her.

Mainichi was punishment for all of them, Winry concluded….

Genkai-chan: Hmm, didn't turn out as well as I planned, please give me two people to do, or a time with a conflict…well review please!
