Ch. 2: Suspicions

"Man! This thing is heavy!" Ed wheezed while throwing his bag on the bed.

"What do you REALLY think about Mark, brother?" Al asked. "I know you were lying back at the table."

"I'm not saying Mark isn't a nice guy," Ed said while stretching out his arm. "It's just kind of weird how Mark just appeared out of nowhere right after you and me left five years ago. Anyway, it's probably just a coincidence."

"You're probably right, Ed," Al said.

"Hey, Al?"

"Yeah?"

"Do you remember the last name Valentine?" Ed asked.

"Why?"

"I don't really know," Ed said. "For some reason the name Valentine rings a bell in my head, but I don't know where."

"You noticed that, too?" Al asked. "I remember that too, but I don't know why."

"Let's just ignore it," Ed said while looking at his bag. "But what are we gonna do about Winry's present?"

"You have a present for me!" Winry cried from the doorway.

(Ed and Al fall with giant sweetsops on the back of their heads) "What are you doing here, Winry!" Ed shouted. "You scared us half to death!"

"Never mind that!" Winry shouted. "Did you guys really get me a present? What is it! Jewelry? Money? New tools!"

"Should we give it to her now, Ed?" Al asked.

"I think we should," Ed said while pulling out the toolbox from his bag. "Happy Birthday, Winry."

"EEEKKKKK!" Winry cried with joy while hugging Ed with all of her might. "Thank you soooo much, Ed! Thanks, Al! I needed new tools! All of my old tools were rusting, so I thought I was going to die of no tools!"

"We're glad you like it, Winry," Al said.

"That and all of the tools are so shiny and the tool box is made out of chrome! This must've cost you a fortune!" Winry said while looking inside the toolbox and pulling out all of the tools. "I can't thank you guys enough!"

"Did Mark get you anything for your birthday?" Ed asked.

"He told me that he did, but I would only see it at my birthday party on Saturday," Winry said. "Oh yeah! Would you guys mind if you two and Mark were the only guys at my party? Most of the people that are coming are girls, so I just wanted to ask."

"We wouldn't mind," Al said.

"Thanks, you guys."
