Just The Girl
Ch. 2
It's Just a Girl
I wish I could see her again somehow, Ed thought. " Elric! Stop slackin and get back to work!" He snapped from his thoughts and hurriedly got back to work. " Brother, how come you're always slacking off now? I mean since yesterday." " Umm... I've just been thinking about-- I mean been sleepy lately," he said trying to brush it off. Al put his arms across his chest and looked at Ed. " Brother, who were you thinking about?" Ed blushed and said defensively," I never said I was thinking about anyone." Al sighed. " You're a terrible liar Ed. C'mon, you can tell me." He had a puzzled look on his. " Who were you thinking about?" " Fine, fine i'll tell you.But you have to promise not to tell anyone. Ok?" " Ok. Got it." Al promised as he listened closely. " Remember the girl I told you about yesterday?" " Yeah," he answered. " Well ever since yesterday I really haven't been able to stop thinking about her. But I don't know why. She was beautiful though. She had long blonde hair and blue eyes," he said smiling. " Sounds like Mr. Elric is in love." Both Ed and Al turned around and standing there was no other than Darren. He sighed. " Teen love."
I think this is the place, she thought. The sign on the building said "Bacon Burger." She walked in the store and up to the counter. She saw the cashier was talking on his phone. " Excuse me." He hurried and hung up. " I'm sorry. May I help you?" Darren said. " Yeah. Does Edward Elric work here?" she asked. " Yeah but he's--" " In the back," Al interupted, " I'll go get him." " Ok thanks." He nodded and went to go get Ed.
" Hey Ed someone's here to see you." " Who would be here to see me?" " By any chance, is that the girl?" " Does she have long hair and eyes of the ocean?" Al looked to the counter," Yeah." " Yup that's her." Ed pushed his hair down with his hands not letting a single strand stand and sprayed some spray in his mouth. " Man brother calm down. It's just a girl."
Ed finally got to the counter and as soon as he saw her he blushed a deep red. " Edward," she said and smiled. " Hey. I didn't really think I would see you again." " Did you not want to see me?" she asked. " No, that's not it. I just didn't think you would take the time to actually see someone like me." " Are you kidding. You're my hero Edward." He blushed and said, " You know, you can just call me Ed." " Oh ok." " By the way, I don't think I ever caught your name." " Oh right, sorry. My name's Winry Rockbell," she said as she stuck out her hand. He stuck out his hand as well and took her's. I knew it, he has to have it. There's no other way he would have a hand as cold and hard as this.
She was broke from her thoughts when she heard her stomach growl. " I'm getting kinda hungry so I guess I should go hom--" " No. I mean why don't you just eat here. It's just about my lunch break and we do have some good burgers," Ed said trying to keep her to stay with him. " Umm... well I guess so. I mean it's not like I really know any other place, or people. So sure, thanks." He smiled and asked," So what would you want to eat?" " Hmm, I guess i'll just go with the original bacon burger there." " Ok just hold on a sec. Hey Al!" " Yeah brother?" " Could you ring us up, please?" he said politely trying to impress Winry. " Yeah, be right there." " You have a brother?" Winry asked. " Yeah." " Ok what would you like?" Al asked. " Two original bacon burgers." " Here ya go," he said putting the food on the counter. Winry just stared at the speediness of him. " Now that's what I call fast food," Ed said laughing," Thanks Al." " No problem, brother. Enjoy your meal guys."
They took a seat next to the counter and started eating. " Hey this is really good." " Thanks." " What do you mean 'thanks'. Did you make this or something?" " Yeah. That's my job. I'm the chef." " But I didn't see you making it," she said confused. " We're supposed to make alot of food so we have the fastist service."
" Hey Ed, I've been wondering is your ar--" She was cut off by the door being busted open. " Edward!" " Mustang? What are you doing here?" Sweat covered his face and scratches and cuts were everywhere. " I need your help." " With what? What's happening?" Roy mouthed the name 'Scar.' Ed's eyes widened and was shocked. " Hurry! We need your help!" He shook his head, clenched his teeth, narrowed his eyes and nodded. He stood up and the chair got knocked to the ground. " Al take care of Winry, just in case anything happens." " Got it." He looked to Winry and saw sadness in her eyes. " Look i'll be back. I promise. Al's gonna take care of you ok?" She smiled and nodded. " I have to go," he said as he ran out the door with Mustang leaving just about everyone in the resteraunt speechless.
