Chapter 1
Meeting Winry
Kaname's POV
"Ugg... Wh-where am I?" I rubbed my head as I sat up, looking around and taking in my surroundings. I turned my head left and right. The last thing I could remember was that I was in the middle of Paris searching for a place to spend the night. Now, as I was scaning the unfamiliar room I was currently in, I realized, but one thing... I was in some stranger's home. I knew it couldn't have been someone I knew for all the poeple I knew came from my village and...
I scanned the room a bit more. It was a small, plain and yet nice little space. It's walls were nice. The bottom halves were plastered with some kind of wood, while the top halves were an white color. The bed I was in was quite simple too. It had plain white sheets and comforter, the pillow case too. The base seemed to be made of wood also. My shoes were placed neatly on the floor beside the bed, and I noticed that they were completly trashed. The bed was actually placed under a high-definition window, of which light was dripping through. The drapes were also a plain white color. There was a wooden desk and chair, set on the far side of the room, with a few papers and pencils scattered over it. On one of the walls, there was a plain wooden door. In one corner, set on the floor, was my guitar case and bag. Full of my clothes, belongings, treasures, and other items. And lastly, in another corner there was a miniature bookcase. Full of books that I could not see from my spot .
I stood up from my bed. I also noticed that my t-shirt was ripped and dirty. My jeans were also in rags and would probably have to be trown into the garbage. I shook off my appearance and slowly made my way over to the bookcase, curiosity getting the better of me, and randomly pulled out a book.
"'Auto-Mail Mechanics'?" I read aloud. I place the reading material back in it's original slot and ran my finger across some of the other books there. "Auto-Mail. Auto-Mail. Auto-Mail. What is 'Auto-Mail'? More importantly; where am I?" I questioned to thin air.
"You're in my house. And Auto-Mail is a sort of mechanical substance." I whirled around to come face-to-face with a girl. She was a bit taller than I was, had long blond hair that was pulled in to a high ponytail with two loose bits in the front, and sea blue eyes. Her clothes were, a black, revealing, tube-top, a red bandana, and grey-ish, baggy, pants. All-in-all, she was pretty. "My name's Winry, by the way. Winry Rockbell. Nice to see you're awake... uhh..." she paused, realizing that she had no clue as to what my name was.
"Oh...! Uhh... It's Kaname. Kaname Asakai." I responded quietly, averting my gaze to the floor. She looked at me funny for a moment, well at least I thought she was... I couldn't see much through my bangs.
"Why are you so quiet?" Winry asked me. I merely looked up at her, a small blush gracing my cheeks. She looked at me a moment longer before she realized why I was acting so strangly. She suddenly started to giggle. "Oh I see! You're shy, aren't you?"
I nodded meakly "Y-yes." I managed to squeak out.
"Oh well that's okay. I mean you just met me and all. So do you wanna know a bit more about how you got here or do you wanna rest up a bit more?" she asked me smiling slightly.
"Uh.. do-do you think you could.. umm... t-tell me?" I muttered. She smiled at me again.
Normal POV
"Sure thing." Winry paused for a second as if gathering her thoughts. "Ok let's see now... Well I was in town this morning, going to get some groceries. I was walking down the road headed towards the grocery store, when I rounded the corner and saw a bunch of people crowded around something, that I obviously couldn't see.
"So I made my way though the crowd to get a look at what had gotten all those people's attention. When I finally managed to squeeze through, I saw a girl unconscious. That girl was... you." Winry stopped for a moment looking over at Kaname to see her reaction.
Her eyes were wide and her mouth was slightly hanging open. "M-me? How can that be? I don't remember ever passing out in town!" she cried.
"Well, I don't know about you, but the people of Resembool were pretty worked up about it." Winry stated her opinion.
"Well, I'd be too if- Wait a minute. Did you say... Res-em-bool?" Kaname said the town's name slowly as not to say it wrong. She was utterly confused. She hadn't been there when she was searching for an inn.
Winry nodded. "Uh-huh. I did. Why?"
"Bu-but! I-I wasn't in Resembool! I was in Paris!" Kaname's head was whirling with questions. She had never heard of Resembool, yet it sounded familiar. Come to think of it so did Winry's name. Anyway... Did Resembool even exist? If it did, how did she end up from Paris, to there?
"Pa-ris?" Winry questioned. Her brow furrowed in thought and she frowned slightly.
'What? How could she not have heard of Paris?' she mentally screamed. 'Wait a minute... Winry Rockbell. Resembool. Winry Rockbell. Resembool. Where have I heard those name before. I know I've never met her before. And I've never been to Resembool... before now that is. But... sigh those names sound so familiar.'
"Hey Win?" Kaname finally spoke. Winry looked up at her confused. "Oh! Uh... you don't mind if I call you that. Do you?"
She merely smiled and shook her head, "Of course not! So do you wanna ask me something or not?"
"Yeah. Um.. I know this is kinda personal... but... um... d-do you think y-you could... um... tell me a bit a-about y-yourself?" Kaname asked hopefully. She just had to figure out how she knew her. Where did she know her from?
"Uhhh... sure. I guess so." she said a little confused "Hmm. Well, I was born and raised here, in Resembool. I lived here with my mom, dad and grams. Umm... I grew up with my two best friends Edward and Alphonse Elric. My parents were doctors and they..." a gleam suddenly appeared in Winry's eyes. Kaname instantly noticed this.
"Erm.. you don't have to continue you know. You can tell me when you're ready." she quickly said. Winry smiled sadly and looked up at the strange girl.
"Thanks. I know I didn't tell you much but-"
Then it clicked inside Kaname's head. 'E-Elric?' that was it.
"Fullmetal Alchemist..." she breathed out. Winry looked startled.
"Yeah... um. that's Edward or Ed. He's a State Alchemist. His second name is the 'Fullmetal Alchemist'." she said still with a look of surprise on her face.
"No, no! That's not it. It's just, um. Well... sigh This is gonna sound super stupid and maybe even insane to you but, I'm really hoping you'll believe me..."
Now, here's where Kaname explained everything to Winry. From how she thought she'd heard of her and Resembool, to how she thought she was from; either a different world, dimension or time. Then she tried her hand at explaining how in her 'world', that the adventures of the two Elric brothers, was an animated television series. And she had to try to explain, exactly what television was.
Winry's POV
"What! That's just- I... What!" my heart was practicly jumping out from my throat. That was just too unbelievable for my liking. I got what Kaname was trying to explain to me. It made sense, but... It was just way too-I dunno... wierd!
"Look... I know it sounds like I'm lying right? But I'm not! I swear it's the truth!" she just looked at me, straight in the eyes and what I saw in them surprised me. I saw the truth. She-she wasn't lying. I know that I just met her and all, but... I don't know... It's as if I've known her like Ed and Al... all my life.
I smiled at her. She looked at me like I had fourty heads or something. "Hey, don't worry, Kaname." I assured her, "I believe you." she almost looked taken aback.
"B-but... why? I mean, if someone told me something like that... I don't know if I'd be able to believe them. Sorry if it seems rude, but why? I just don't see how you could believe me that fast." she stammered. I could tell that she was caught off guard by my answer. I simply grinned and answered her question,
"Because I can see the truth," she looked at me scepticaly before I inserted another bit, "-in your eyes." I finished smiling slightly. Kaname smiled slightly too. She bowed her head and looked at the ground once again, like she had done when I asked for her name.
"Thanks," she looked up at me through her bangs, "-for beleiving me and for looking after me and everything."
"Hey no problem." I could tell she was gonna cry so I grasped her hand to comfort her. Her head shot up surprised, I grinned once again and said, "That's what friends are for, right?"
Normal POV
Kaname's eyes started to water up and Winry looked at her, worry etched across her face.
"A-are you okay? Did I-I say something wrong?" she asked frowning.
Suddenly Kaname had embraced Winry in a hug. She was now crying and sobs racked her body, and it was convulsing with small tremors created by her sobs. Winry slowly hugged the crying girl back, wondering why she was upset.
"Thank you Winry... F-for being m-my frie-end." she choked out.Winry seemed slightly shocked at what Kaname was saying. "I-I've never e-ever had a f-friend bef-fore."
'Poor girl...' Winry thought, 'Her childhood must have been hard. I won't ask her about it now, though. She'll tell me when she's good and ready.'
Moments rolled by and soon Kaname's crying slowed and her sobbing had ceased.
She slowly pulled herself out of the embrace and wipped away her tears. Her face was now tear-stained and her eyes were red and puffy. She looked absolutly terrible.
"Thank you again, Winry." she looked over at her new friend, smiling.
"Hey, no prob." she answered. Then suddenly a thought occured to her, "Hey, I suppose you don't have a place to stay do you?"
Kaname looked up at her and shook her head no. Winry thought for a moment,
'Maybe she could stay with us. I'm sure grams won't mind. Besides if what she told me really, really is true, then I want her to meet Ed and Al.' Winry grinned.
"You can stay with us!" she exclaimed. Kaname looked like she was going to protest, she was just about to open her mouth and say something, but Winry beat her to it, "Look, it's really no problem at all. There's only two people living here and we've got plently of room. Please stay. I'd like for you to meet my grams, or you can call her aunt Pinako, and Ed and Al.
Kaname smiled and embrace Winry in another hug. And this time she wasn't so hesitant to return it.
"I'd like that Winry... I really would."
