As Edward had expected, the questions started coming randomly. On the train, in the Hotel rooms, just asking little things that her mom might like or dislike.
They where in the little town of Rush Valley, witch made Ed even more upset that the questions had come at this time.
One night, wile the little Elric family was eating dinner, He realized that Anna didn't want to eat all that much. "You haven't touched anything on your plate squirt, something wrong?" He said with a little concern. "I'm fine daddy, I was just thinking about something," she said, poking her French fries with her fork. "What about?" He was expecting more questions about Winry. He stuffed his fast-food sandwich in his mouth. "I was talking to this boy down the street and I-" "BOY? WHAT BOY!" Ed spazzed, much like a small dog over this, and He was not about to let a puppy face get rid of his intense anger. She was smiling a lot lately, loss of appetite and humming, And Ed jumped to the conclusion, to the all famous daddy "my little girl is in love" sickness. "He is just a boy okay…" At this point, Ed was not hungry. (yes, yes, that is a very, very, strange thing.) "And why does that make you un-hungry?" he said. "Both of his parents are dead, he lives with his grandparents. I was just thinking how lucky I am to still have you daddy," she smiled and gave him a thumbs up. How Ed wanted to cry, all his tears may have filled the whole restaurant with tears. He was right, his little girl was in love. "But that made me wonder…." She began, "Do I have grandparents?" Edward had strange flash backs of his mother. "You did," Edward smiled and downed his fries. She looked out the window and sighed. The window was covered in raindrops, and there was not a soul on the outside street. "I hate rain," she said changing the subject. "Me too." Ed replied.
The next day, Ed rose from his bed, careful not to awake Anna, went down to the kitchen and used the phone. The voice on the other end was that of a handsome young man…Alphonse Elric.
"Hello?" He said warmly
"Hey Al, stayin' single?" His voice was full of cheer and laughter.
"ED! Hey!"
"I was wondering something Al," He fiddled with his finger.
"Yeah?" Al asked excitedly…when ever Ed wondered something, he got to watch his niece for a week or two.
"Anna needs a place to stay for a while and I-"
"Tell me where you are and I'll get on the next train!" Al was happy as a kid in a candy store.
"You know the rules Alphonse, no drinks after seven, no sweets till' eleven…"
"Yeah, I know Ed, why can't she come with yah any way?"
"Lots of crime now in central, I just don't want to take the chances," He said.
"Alright, see you in a few hours then,"
"Bye now" Ed Hung up the phone and went to the counter and bought a few chocolate chip muffins for himself and Anna.
When he got upsairs to his room, Anna was tossing and turning in her sleep.
"I…….uh……..THE ALIENS…COMING…….no….I….don't…want….chickens…." she muttered, Ed chuckled and shook her a little.
"Huh?" she gradually opened her eyes, and rubbed them. Ed shook his head. "You hungry?" he said. "Depends on what you got," Ed smiled and gave her a muffin. "Yep, I'm hungry!" She put it in her mouth and yawned. "Get your stuff packed Doll," he folded up her shirt that was on the floor and put it on the futon she was sleeping on.
"Whhi?" she said with her mouth full. "Uncle is picking you up…and taking you to Resembool for a few days." She hopped out of bed, and told him that she was changing, and went to the bathroom. She really didn't want to leave Rush Valley, but Uncle Al was really cool. They got to do lots of things, play lots of games, and once he even let her take a stray kitty home with her.
Ed brushed away the long blonde hair away from her eyes when she came back, and tied it in a pony tail.
"Daddy? Why doesn't Uncle have a wife?" She pushed her eyebrow even bangs out of her eyes, and continued eating her muffin. "He just hasn't fallen in love yet," She started to cough a little, "You okay honey?" He said. "Yeah, just must have a cold….that's all."
By the time Al arrived, her little cold had turned into a big one. She was coughing and sneezing all over the place. They went into a small coffee house for Ed to lay down the Rules to both of them the limitations. (again.) "And, you know that you will come home at five o'clock sharp every night right…." "Yes," Al and Anna answered in unison. She coughed some more. "…and if that cough doesn't disappear by Monday, I want you to have a doctor check you out deal?" She rolled her eyes and nodded. "Um excuse me," a younger woman, with curly honey colored hair was tapping Uncle Al on his shoulder. "Would you like me to get some hot tea and honey for your little girls cough?" Her name tag read "Hello, My name is Abigail" The waitress was really nice, and seemed to know what she was talking about, except for the fact that she thought that she was Al's. "That would be nice thanks, how much do I owe you?" Ed said, pulling out his wallet. "Oh, its nothing really, and you're the father, I'm so sorry, gosh she looks just like you," she said. Her name tag read "Hello, My name is Abigail" Dad chuckled. "Thanks, we get that a lot." She hurried away, Giving Ed time to see that Al was red in the face. "Al, why are you so, oooohhhhh," Ed smirked and tipped back in his chair. "What? I don't get it." Anna cocked her head and looked at her father. "Uncle Al, thinks she is pretty, what do you see in her Al? Is it her hair? Her eyes maybe?" Dad just smirked more. And around came Abigail, with a blue cup in her hands. She set the cup next to her "Thanks! My name is Anna and My Uncle Al thinks you're really pretty!" Al looked as if he was going to vomit, Ed laughed so hard that he started crying, and Abigail Chuckled and said, "Your very welcome, And I'm Abby, tell your Uncle that I appreciate that," She walked away with a smile on her face. Al shook his bright red face and put his head on the table. Ed gave Anna a high five and she drank the hot soothing tea. "Uncle Al I was just trying to help!"
How they loved her innocence,
And it really helped, Abby and Alphonse married 2 years later.
