Ch.10: Separate Mission
Bwahahahaha! This chapter is going to be loooong! Well considering it's me It probably won't be that long, but compared to the others! Actually….." A-Alphonse? Is that you?" Winry questioned as she stared at the bright blue light, which once shone a suit of armor. Ed too stared blankly at the light as he saw the philosophers stone glowing. The light started to fade, and a familiar voice was heard. Except it didn't have that hollow sound, it had a ring of a human being.
He started to emerge from the fog and looked at the two in front of him.
" Brother, Winry?" He said.
It was real; the Alphonse Elric everyone knew and loved had appeared from their eyes.
" Al… It worked," Edward said leaning in to hug him.
" Brother…"
-----------PARTY----------
That's right, since Al got his body back, they were celebrating by having a small house party! Well, it was just Al, Winry, Ed, and Pinako but a party none-the-less. A cake was served that everyone can enjoy, a lot of food, considering this would be the first time he could eat in the last….4 years. Everyone was laughing as light music filled the air and echoed across the room.
" You still hungry Al?" Winry asked holding on the plate that held the cake.
" Yes please!" Winry laughed and handed him the cake. It felt good for everyone to enjoy something once in a while, even Ed seemed happier than he ever was.
------6 Slices Of Cake Later…-----
" Ungh…. "Alphonse grumbled, holding onto his stomach. Everyone had eaten quite a lot of cake, and they had started to clean everything up. Since it was " Al's day" He got the day off, until 6:00 when they go to see mustang, which is now.
-------At Roy's Office-------
" Remember what I told you, that on some missions you'll be together, but some not?" Roy asked.
Ed glared at him slightly. " Yes," he said " What about it?"
" You and Alphonse will be sent to Lior, where another massacre is happening, while Winry stays here."
Edward did a sigh of relief, " So what up in Lior?"
" Well, ever since everyone stopped believing in Cornello, people have lost complete hope and kept ranting: ' A state Alchemist has destroyed out hope!' Or, ' Kill the shrimp!' and even ' What right did he have to take that away?"
" I'LL SHOW WHO'S A SHRIMP!" He yelled as he started fuming as Al held him back.
" Calm down Full-metal, anyway Lior has some crazy ideas in order to kill you. And Winry here will stay here at the HQ tending auto-mail patients. Any problems? What about you Winry?" Roy said.
The blond haired mechanic just stared and gave him a dirty look. She didn't say anything. " Did I say something wrong?" Roy asked. " You seem kind uh… tense,"
" I'm fine," She said quietly in an angry voice.
" Congratulations Al, on getting your body back and just… don't die I can't afford to lose you three, and besides I'm not in the mood to sign death papers," Edward sighed and went out the door with Al and Winry following him.
-----Walking Down at the HQ----
" Hey Winry, is something the matter?" Al asked noticing the angry look on her face.
" Nothings wrong! Anyway, I'm sure you'll have a great trip at Lior! I'm gonna be spending the time with Shecska since I don't live here…. Have a safe trip!" She replied happily immediately changing her mood.
" You too Winry!" Al said back, While he and Ed walked in the other direction.
" Woah, total different moods, you think she's having that time of the month?" Ed said.
Those words made Winry grab out her wrench and threw hard on Ed's head. Before Ed could yell; ' Why did you do that for?' Winry already turned the corner and was gone.
-----At Shceska's house-----
Scheska poured two glasses of water and handed one to Winry. She gladly took it off her hands and took out a long piece of parchment that was rolled into a tight scroll.
" I'm so glad you could stay with me Winry," She said slowly taking a sip. The two were at a small living room, sitting at a table with books covered everywere except for maybe the table, and a passageway to other rooms. Winry smiled and carefully unfolded the scroll.
" What's that?" Scheska asked.
" Operation Mustang," She replied grabbing a pen and making a few marks.
" And I'm going to need your help,"
WAHOO! 788 words! I feel so proud of myself! I put extra care into this chapter and hopefully will do the same for others….
