Disclaimer: I do not own Fullmetal Alchemist. If I did…wow…

A/N: Well, if you didn't get enough from chapter one…Then here's another one for you! I think this chapter gets a little more serious than the other one. But I will try to keep it more humorous. Oh, and about the last chapter. When Edward sleeps, he always manages to show off his belly button to the world. Haha. I would love to thank all of my wonderful reviewers who give me the inspiration to keep writing. I love you guys.

Anyway…onto the story…


Chapter 2

-Taking a walk-

"Edward" A distant voice called softly.

"Ed…Wake up." The voice was more urgent this time. Slowly, the Fullmetal Alchemist opened his heavy eyelids, to spot a smiling blonde mechanic leaning over him.

"Huh" Ed sat up after noticing he was lying in Winry's lap. Looking back at the beauty behind him, still not fully awake yet, he stared at her, as if asking her why she disturbed him from his peaceful rest. Noticing his questioning gaze, Winry stared at her legs.

"My legs started to fall asleep" She giggles slightly.

"Oh" Ed replied, finally waking up, "Sorry." Attempting to wake up her legs, Winry stood up off of the old sofa that was worn out from so many years of use and began walking towards the door.

"I'm ganna go take a walk, wanna come?" She turned back and looking at the golden haired boy who still sat lazily on the sofa.

"But it's getting dark out" Ed stated, "Besides, where the hell did Al and Auntie Pinako run off to?" He looked around as if they were somewhere in the room.

"Granny went out and Al is upstairs with Den, reading." Grabbing a white, fleece sweater and pulling it over her head, she grabbed the door handle. "So, are you coming or not?" Standing up, Edward noticed that his belly button was showing and quickly resisted a blush and pulled his shirt down.

"Well, there's nothing better to do" He sighed, walking over to his best friend. "I'm going for a walk, Al! I'll be back soon!" He yelled up to his brother. After hearing an "okay" yelled back in return, the two friends took off out the door.


"Oh, look!" The blonde girl ran towards the stream that the two young teens seemed to wander to on their walk. "Remember this place, Ed? We used to play here when we were kids all the time!" Winry sat down by the edge of the stream.

It was dark out now, but the moon and its army of stars gave Ed enough light to see Winry. He walked up to where she was sitting and sat down next to her.

Moments passed as they both stared up at the sky. Complete silence was shared between the two, but a comfortable silence. Each enjoying the company of the other. A sudden breeze caused Winry's hair to blow out in front of her, as well as Edward's bangs. That's when Ed noticed how Winry's eyes sparkled in the moonlight and how the beams of, not so bright, light hit her face in just the right way, making her dazzling features pop out.

Suddenly, Ed looked away as his heart started pounding in his chest. It felt as if his heart was trying to break free from the cage that Edward had locked around it. A tinge of pink painted its way across the short golden haired boy's cheeks.

Winry then started taking off her shoes, which somewhat startled the young State Alchemist. Curious as to what she was up to, Ed watched her as she dipped her feet into the stream.

Yawning, Edward fell onto his back. Winry, soon followed Edwards lead, and lied down as well.

"Ya know," Winry started without even passing a glance towards Ed, "Life back then was so carefree. We didn't have any problem and we were so happy." A sad smile placed itself across her moonlit face, remembering the days where Ed, Al, and she were all happy.

"But, I believe in my heart, that things will be like that again. No matter how hard things get at times, we will all be happy in the end. You will restore Al's body and your own. I know you will." Her eyes glistened with tears, but those tears never escaped down her cheeks. For there was still hope, not all was lost.

Surprised by his friends sudden words, Edward looked over at Winry. Then, a smile appeared on his face as well. 'For all that has happened, she still has so much faith, hope.' He thought to himself.

Then, if even possible, Edwards's heart started beating faster. Shaking uncontrollably, Ed stood up and held out his hand for Winry to take. Noticing the questioning stare she gave in return, he explained how it was getting late and that they better get back before Al and Pinako, if she was even home yet, started to worry.

Nodding in response, Winry took hold of her friends hand and was pulled up to her feet. Not a word was spoken as they walked back to the house, but their hands never parted then entire way…


A/N: And that's it for now! Sorry it took so long for me to update. I went to Six Flags yesterday, and I stood in line for the Skycoaster for like, three hours. Then I had to go home because the park was closing. What a waaaaste. Anyway, I hope you liked the second chapter. I also apologize if the characters seem OOC in this story…And for the short chapters. Well, until next time.
