Ch. 3: the battle begins
Winry's POV
"Yaaawwwnnn." As I opened my eyes, I realized that the sun was rising and it was time to wake up. I realized that I slept in my white sleeping dress, so I decided to wear mylong white robe and go wake up Ed and Al. Even though I was still a little sleepy, I walked over to the guest room and pushed open the door. Apparently, Ed and Al were still sleeping like rocks. "Guess I have to wake them up. First I'll wake up Ed."
As I was walking over to Ed's bed, his blanket was covering his face and it would be hard to wake him up. Once I took off his blanket, I almost gasped and my heart was beating fast the moment I saw Ed's face. At that moment, Ed'sshirtless chestwas facing the bed, but his head was tilted to the side and his hair was unbraided. For some reason, I thought Ed's face was so handsome and angelic. "What am I thinking!"
End of Winry's POV
"Nnnhh." At that moment, Ed woke up and sat up straight on his bed. "Morning, Winry."
"Good morning," Winry said while the redness in her face was still there. "It's time to wake up!"
"I'll go wake up Al," Ed said while hopping out of bed. "Thanks, Winry."
"I'll go make breakfast," Winry said while getting out of the room. The moment Winry closed the door, her face got all red again. "What's happening to me!"
"Did you boys sleep well?" Aunt Pinako asked while everybody was eating scrambled eggs and toast.
"Still a little sleepy, but okay," Ed said while drinking his orange juice.
"Well, a little boy like you SHOULD get a lot of sleep," Aunt Pinako said.
"Not so early in the morning, Auntie," Ed whined while pouring milk into his glass. Once he drank the whole glass, everybody gasped. "This orange juice tastes good, Winry. Did you add something to it?"
"Th-that ISN'T orange juice, Ed," Al said while holding up the carton. "It was milk."
"What!" Ed shouted while taking the carton from Al and reading it. "IT IS MILK!"
"It looks like you're starting to like milk, Ed," Winry said.
"I guess I am," Ed said while pouring more milk into his glass.
"This is pretty good for you, Ed," Al said. "Now you'll be able to grow taller!"
"Are you serious!" Ed gasped. "Yes! Now Mustang and everybody else won't have to look down at me anymore!"
"Honestly, Ed!" Winry said. "You can't grow three feet in one day!"
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK
"Why don't we all guess who's at the door," Ed said while hurriedly drinking his milk. "I guess Robert."
"Oh, stop it, Ed," Winry said while opening the door. "Good morning, Robert."
"Good morning, Winry,"Robert said at the door with a bouqet of red roses. "I brought you these."
"Wow! Thank you so much, Robert," Winry said while taking the bright red roses.
"Well, today IS your birthday,"Robert said. "That's only the first thing of the three things I'm going to give you today."
"I can't wait to see what you got Winry," Ed mumbled.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
The day went by pretty quickly. Ed, Al, and Robert helped Aunt Pinako and Winry to set up the party in an open space that was near the Rockbells house. The space was had a beautiful view of the river, but you only got to see if it if you looked down the ledge that hovered over the river a bit. At first Pinako didn't want to hold the party there because people might fall in, but Winry persuaded her to have it there and Winry won andfor the whole day, the Rockbells, the Elrics, and Robert helped put up the things for the party there. After they were done, Ed andRobert were the only ones leftat the party sitewhile Aunt Pinako, Winry, and Al went to buy the rest of the food for the party. While Ed and Mark were putting up the streamers, Robert was the one who broke the silence between them. "What did you get Winry for her birthday, Elric?" Mark asked.
"I got her a toolbox made out of chrome, her name engraved on the top, and new tools," Ed said. "Why?"
"Just wanted to know," Mark said. "Do you really like Winry, Ed?"
"Maybe I do," Ed said. "What are you going to do about it?"
"Well, by now, you've realized how much I like Winry," Mark said. "The only reason Winry isn't going out with me is because you're still around."
"So you see me as a rival?" Ed asked. "Is that it?"
"You could say that," Mark said. "Ever since I've moved here, I've been spending most of my time with Winry, but whenever I talk to her, she always says something about you. If you're gone, then maybe I'll have a chance with Winry."
"If Winry has no interest in you, then you should just give up," Ed said. "You can do whatever to me, but I won't allow you to destroy Winry's birthday. You got that?"
