A/N Here it is. Chapter 4. I hope you enjoy it I think it's a bit rushed but it's going to lead to some possibilities... So here we go! Chapter 4! Also I know I said the chapter was gonna be called "Innocence in the Eyes" but I changed my mind.

When I got back to my seat I made sure to have a couple of excuses to get her out my seats and away from Al and me, but when I got there she was already gone.

"Hey, where'd Pat go?" I asked.

"She left, she told me to tell you she'd talk to you later." Al explained.

"Oh," I said relieved.

It was stupid but I felt as though it would have been better if she was still there waiting but I guess it was best that she was gone. I sat down thinking about what could have happened if Al hadn't interrupted us. Would it have been a good thing or a bad thing?

From there I couldn't remember what happened and I must have fallen asleep because as I was thinking the next thing I knew the train stopped and Al was shaking me by the shoulder to wake up.

"Brother, brother, it's time to go!" Al said shaking me.

"Huh- whada..." I mumbled as I was getting up.

"Brother, it's time to get off the train." Al said to me.

"Oh, right. Let's go..." I mumbled.

As we started to leave I looked around at our surroundings. Open grass and farm lands were going as far as the eye could see. Every turn was to a field with animals or crops. When you looked far enough down the horizon you could see the sun hit the grass. I knew, this was where home was. I forget that sometimes but it really is home.

"Hey! Hey!"

Al and I turned around to see who it was. When I saw that it was Pat I began to freak out.

"Uh, well uh..."

She came up to me and stopped for a moment to catch her breath. She stood up and gave me a big mega-watt smile that for a moment made me want to grab and maul her but thankfully didn't do it with with Al standing there.

"I just wanted to say, that it was great meeting you Fullmetal Alchemist." she said innocently shaking my hand.

"Ummm..." I could barely utter stupidly.

"Bye!" she said walking away towards a house in the other direction of the Rockbell house.

For a moment I was surprised and was just standing there when all of sudden I snapped out of my reverie by someone calling me.

"Mr. Elric!" someone yelled for me.

I turned around to see who it was and saw that it was a military officer. I could tell by his blue drab uniform and noticed that he was holding the hand of a little girl.

"Uh.. yeah!" I said waving him over.

The guy ran up to me and handed me the little girl's hand and bowed and immediately started running away.

"HEY WAIT!" I yelled as he was practically a mile away.

"There's a note for you!" he yelled in the distant.

It was then that the girl looked up to me and gave me a note she was holding in her hand. I took it and opened it up to read.

Ed,

This little girl is very important and is currently unsafe at headquarters.

I was hoping you could take care of her for a while since you're going to be in a secure location.

Make sure to take good care of her, she's very important or it's your head.

Enjoy your vacation!

Signed,

Colonel Roy Mustang.

For a moment I stopped. Overview: Mustang gives me a vacation out of the kindness out of his heart. I take suspiciously but take it none the less. I get a free train ride with an escort thinking he cares or something. Then he forks off a babysitting job since I'll "happen" to be in Risemboul, a basically unknown location to any terrorist. Then for some reason I'm actually surprised by this!

"THAT MOTHERF-"

"Brother!"

"What!"

"The girl!"

Suddenly I remembered that there was a little girl here so I stopped. I gave the note to Al and started going along the way to the Rockbell's.

If there was ever a time I wanted to kill myself it was then.

In the forty-five minutes that we knew this little girl we had learned three things about her: Her name was Angela, she was a daughter of a very prominent and important governor which is why we had to protect her and that she would never shut up!

We learned the last one first.

"So where are we goin' again?" she asked.

"A friend's house." I answered gruffly.

"Are they nice?"

"Yes."

"Are they a family or just some people who live together?"

"They're a family."

"That's cool. What kind of people are they?"

"They're nice people."

"Who's in the family?"

"A girl and her grandmother."

"Where are her parents?"

At this I stopped and took a good look at her. She was a girl with a pretty face and golden brown hair. It was tied into pigtails and she had a long sleeve dress-coat thing. She looked a lot like Nina but slightly different. She could have been her sister or something. She was a lot like Winry was at that age.

"Listen she's an orphan okay? So don't mention that okay?" I asked her seriously.

"Okay!" she said cheerfully so I couldn't be sure if she actually heard me.

I stood up back to my level and started walking again. Thankfully she liked to hold Al's hand instead of mine.

"So is this a nice place?" she asked Al.

"Very, we were raised there for a while." he said cheerfully and I couldn't help but smile.

For a moment she was silent and I was thankful until she started to talk again.

"What are their names?" she asked Al.

"Well, there's Granny Pinako and then there's Winry. I guess you can call Granny Pinako, just Pinako." he said thinking.

That reminded me, we hadn't called ahead to see if we could stay over, let alone if we could bring a guest. I hoped that they would be okay with this.

"So is this Winry like your sister or something?" she asked curiously.

"Well, we've known her our whole life and she is a family friend but biologically, no, we aren't related." Al explained awkwardly.

"Oh... is she pretty?" she asked innocently and suddenly for no reason I got really nervous.

"Well, I don't know, maybe you should ask Ed..." Al said in this really annoying voice that made me go red.

"Oh, really!"

Suddenly she started running up next to me and stood there looking me in the eye. She had this wide smug grin on her face.

"So is Winry your girlfriend Ed?" she asked in this annoyingly shrill voice that practically sounded like nails on a chalkboard.

"No she is not!" I said and knew I was blushing.

"Me thinks the man doth protest too much." she said with her tongue sticking out at me.

"Shut up!" I yelled at her and then exploded.

"Winry is just some stupid, annoying, mechanic girl that Al and I know who's so thick and short-tempered she'd probably kill a priest for saying automail was unholy or something! Winry is not only not my girlfriend but she's just some annoying girl and that's that!"

The next thing I knew I was on the ground with a giant cue-ball of a bump on the back of my head.

"EDWARD! WHAT DID YOU DO NOW!"

I looked up from my injury and saw her standing on the porch with he sundress on that hung nicely to her curvy form and...

Whoa, those thoughts and Winry shouldn't mix.

"Did you break my automail again?" she asked extremely annoyed.

"No, Winry, we came here because we got a vacation and decided to come home." Al said in his super 'I'm so innocent voice' that I knew would butter up Winry.

"Oh, really..." Winry said and I could see her getting all teary.

She walked up to me and helped me up and massaged the giant egg lump that she gave me on the back of my head. For a moment I looked into her eye s and was completely frozen by her beautiful blue eyes...

Then she hit my bump again.

"That's for insulting me. But for coming here I didn't do it with my wrench." she said sternly.

"Thanks..." I said weakly.

"HI I'm Angela!" Angela said shaking Winry's hand.

"Hello.." Winry replied sweetly.

"Are you Edward's girlfriend!" she asked excitedly.

Suddenly I got my strength back and grabbed that little ingrate and covered her mouth.

"Ignore her..." I said with a laugh.

Winry just smiled and showed us in. We were home again.

I layed down in the bed in the room Al and I shared. We just had one of Pinako's famous cooked meals and it was great. It was like old and forgotten times. Angela was sleeping in Winry's room and Al was already asleep. I was about to fall asleep when I noticed there was note in my pocket.

Ed,

Next time when you want to continue or little romp come on by.

I live on the southern side of the lake.

See ya around big guy!

Signed,

Pat.

Out of the note was a key. For a moment I wondered how she slipped this on me. Then I just shrugged it off and looked at the key. For a moment I was about to pocket it when I heard a moan.

I pressed my ear to the wall. It was Winry, she must have been dreaming.

Winry.

I took the note and crumpled it up and chucked it out the window, then I transmuted the key to be perfectly flat and threw that out the window too.

For some reason I went to bed thinking about Winry.

When I woke up in the morning I remembered I had a dream but couldn't remember what the dream was about.

A/N Well there it is, Chapter 5 is coming on with some Winry lusting. Heh, heh, so seeya then! Keep them reviews a comin'!
