Hey, everybody! I finally got another chapter written up to this story! Yeah!

Since several of you asked, let me explain. First of all, the idea of using Ophiucus came from one of my reviewers, I think her name was silverwindflame. Secondly, neither Ophiucus nor the legends I referred to were made up by me or her. Ophiuchus really is the thirteenth sign (look it up in any astronomy book, not astrology, astronomy), and Scorpio really had killed Orion, which is why they are now on opposite sides of the sky. Whatever other mythology I end up putting in here relating to the stars I didn't make up either. Oh, and just in case some of you didn't notice before, Aquarius means "water bearer", so I didn't make that up either, though I did make up the part about her being able to carry the water signs. Heh. Yeah, my creativity has to go into action somewhere, right?

Anyway, I hope that you enjoy this chapter.

Disclaimer: I do not own FullMetal Alchemist. No time for a witty comment, I only have a few minutes left on the computer. The library's about to close.

"Winry," called Edward, just barely before he opened his eyes, "What just happened? Is this a bad dream I'm having?"

Winry shook her head. "Unfortunately, it's not."

Edward sighed. "So, why did I attack that man? I couldn't seem to control myself, no matter what I tried. I felt such hate towards him, though I can't find any logical reason why."

"It's because you're Scorpio, Ed, and that man is Orion."

Edward sat up straight, only to have the pain in his back from the arrow wound show itself again. "Ouch!" said Ed, placing his hand on the wound, "You're serious? That man is Orion?"

Winry nodded. "That's why you reacted that way when you saw him."

"Why would his being Orion make me react that way?"

"He and Scorpio hate each other, for some reason that no one can remember. When you saw him for the first time, and didn't react negatively like Scorpio normally would, the Scorpio spirit inside of you took over, and controlled your actions."

Ed shivered. "That's…creepy."

"I suppose so," said Winry, "But it's less creepy than finding out that you're not even human, isn't it?"

Ed did a slight chuckle. "I suppose so." Then, turning his head to look up at her, he said, 'Does that make you think any less of me?"

"No!" Winry practically yelled, "I don't care whether you're human or not, you're still you, and that's all that matters. It just took me a little while to get used to the idea, since it took me by surprise."

"That's good to hear," said Edward as he grimaced from the pain of the arrow wound. "I need to heal this wound. Will you clobber me if I convert back to my native element?"

Winry blushed and shook her head. "You do whatever you need to do, Ed." Edward smiled, and the converted back into his watery form. Winry stood by watching with her jaw dropped.

"Do I look really strange in this form?" Edward chuckled. It had been a long time since he'd seen that look on Winry's face. The last time she had made a face like that was during Ed and Al's first transmutation.

"Uhhh…yeah…" said Winry slowly. Edward chuckled again, as Winry continued to stare with that shocked expression on her face.

Finally Ed came back to his human form. He sighed and stretched his arms. "That's a lot better," he said.

"Wow, you can heal, just like that?" asked Winry excitedly.

"Yeah, that's how me and Al finally managed to return to our normal bodies. Sensei is healthy again too, now that she has finally transformed."

Winry thought that that was an amazing ability. That must make the signs very hard to kill. Whoever had tried to kill Ed must not have known much about the signs of the zodiac.

Ed chuckled at Winry. Upon seeing the perplexed look on her face, he explained. "I was most likely shot by one of the signs just to get me to stop attacking Orion. They never intended to kill me, and they knew that I wouldn't die by a simple arrow wound. It was probably Sagittarius, since he, or she, as the case might be in this incarnation, is a master archer."

Winry gasped. She hadn't said a word. How had he known what she was thinking? Ed chuckled again and stood up.

"While Pisces is the most psychic sign in the zodiac, she's not the only one. All the water signs are psychic as well," Edward explained.

"Then…you and Al are both…psychic?"

Edward nodded. "We just discovered it recently ourselves."

Just then, Pinako entered the room to see how Ed was doing. She was surprised to see him standing up, but just brushed it off as being one of his powers from being a member of the zodiac.

"Hey, chibi," she said, "That Orion guy is waking up too, and the only way he can leave this house is to pass through this room. Can you resist the urge to attack him just for a few moments?" Funny that she could call him short without Ed getting mad. It must've had something to do with the fact that she was even shorter than Ed, shorter than Al even.

"Hey, I don't WANT to attack the guy, but I don't seem to have a choice when he's around. Scorpio is the one responsible, not me."

"Hmmm…then could I talk to Scorpio?" said Pinako.

"Excuse me?" said Ed, snapping his attention to the little woman.

"If you're not the one responsible, I want to talk to the one that is," explained Pinako.

"I don't know what you're…" Ed was cut off mid-sentence as his eyes went blank for a brief moment, and he stared out into space.

Finally, the light returned to his eyes, and he looked back at Pinako. There was something different about him…something very un-Ed.

"I'm Scorpio," he said. Winry gasped and started walking backward towards the door. Scorpio turned toward her and said, "What are you afraid of me for? I'm the same person you always knew!"

"B-But you're n-not Ed!" she stuttered.

Scorpio sighed. "True, I'm not Ed, but Ed is me, so you should know me. I may not have the same mind Ed does, but my spirit is the same as his."

"But…" said Winry, nervously, "If your spirit is the same as Edward's, why did you attack Orion? Edward would never do that!"

Scorpio clenched his fist. "I hate that lowdown, no good…" Pinako clapper her hand over Scorpio's mouth before he uttered anything he would regret, since her frying pan wasn't far away.

Pinako and Winry both looked at each other, and then asked collectively, "Why?"

This startled Scorpio, so he unclenched his fist and looked at the two women for a moment before saying anything more. "We had a huge fight about something a long time ago."

"What was the fight about?" asked Winry, getting braver. Hey, Scorpio really did act a lot like Ed.

Scorpio crossed his arms over his chest and cast his gaze to the floor. "I-I'm not sure. I've forgotten after all this time."

"Then why do you persist?" said Winry, "Why don't you just drop it and make up?"

Scorpio pulled his arms out of their crossed position and threw them angrily down by his sides. She had struck a tender chord. "It had to have been something really big, or the powers that be wouldn't have put us on opposite sides of the sky to keep us away from each other!" he yelled.

Wow, that part of the legend was true too? Maybe all the star legends were actually true, or at least based off of reality.

"Still," said Winry, "If you don't know what you're fighting about, you shouldn't fight. Save your aggression for something that needs it, like Aries."

Scorpio thrust his hands into his pockets and looked down at the floor. "I probably look really foolish to you, don't I?"

Winry moved closer to him and lifted up his chin so that he had to look into her eyes. "I don't think you're foolish, Ed, I mean, Scorpio…just a little…misguided. I'm sure that you and Orion had a valid reason to fight back then, but that was BACK THEN. Whatever Orion did to you in the past, he hasn't done in his current incarnation. Live in the present. Your hot temper as well as your strong sensitivity will be most useful being directed at defeating Aries, but would just be wasted energy being directed at Orion."

Scorpio did a slight chuckle and pulled his chin out of Winry's hand. "I suppose you're right…but I'm not sure how to let go. When someone hurts me, I lash out. That's just my nature."

Winry put her hands on Scorpio's shoulders and looked into his eyes. "I do understand, Scorpio. I'm not asking you to fight against your nature, just that you direct that energy elsewhere, and not at Orion. If you need our help, you could always make up with him here, while we're all around to encourage you."

Tears were coming to Scorpio's eyes. "You…You would do that for me?"

"Of course I would!" said Winry, adamantly, "I've always tried to help Ed through difficult situations, and I don't see any difference between helping him and helping you. You're both basically the same person." She paused for a send, and then added, in a shyer voice, "Besides, I love Ed…and so, consequently, I love you too."

Scorpio let out what almost sounded like a chuckle, but a tear slipped out of his eye, so Winry knew what he really meant by that. He was really touched by her confession. "I…had always wondered…what your feelings for me were."

Winry smiled as tears began streaming down her face. She moved to hug Scorpio, and Scorpio hugged her in return. They shared this emotional moment for several minutes, while Pinako just looked on, smoking her pipe, and thinking, it's about time.

Finally, the two released each other, and Scorpio looked into Winry's eyes for one last moment while he placed his hands on her shoulders. "Thank you for calling me out and talking to me. It's been a long time since I've spoken without going through my current incarnation. That really helped. Thank you." With that, he closed his eyes.

When he opened them again, the light in them was different than it had been before. It was back to normal. He was Ed again. "Whoa, what the heck just happened?" said Ed, pulled his hands off of Winry's shoulders and blushing.

"We spoke with Scorpio himself," said Winry, "He's a really nice person once you get to know him. You don't remember anything about it?"

Ed blushed and hung his head. "Actually, I remember everything about it, but it felt like it was all a dream…and that Scorpio has guts, telling you everything he did."

"Are you going to contradict anything he said?" asked Winry.

Ed blushed even deeper and mumbled, "…No…"

Winry laughed at his embarrassed reaction, and then grabbed him by the hand and led him out to where everyone else was waiting. Ed was human after all, or at least, he had human emotions, which are more what distinguishes a human being from other creatures than their body. She could live with this. Whatever strange secret she learned about Ed and Al in the future, she could live with it.

Hope you liked the chapter, now please review...and leave suggestions, if you have them!
