Chapter Three: I want you to make my auto-mail

Waking up the next morning earlier than everyone else, Marinna got up as quietly as she could, trying not to make a sound, though her quiet minor noises should be covered up by the rain that was falling. She didn't even bother to change out of her pajamas that consisted of a thin white silk one piece nightgown that had thick tank top straps and there was a little bit of lace around the bottom hem. It didn't cling to her at all, it was big on her.

Going to the place in Pinako's house that held some practice auto-mail, Marinna grabbed an arm and a few tools to take it apart and then put it back together. In the process of doing this, the girl dropped a wrench on her foot, quiet hard.

"Fuck!" Marinna yelled, rather loudly. Quickly realizing that she could have woken someone up, she quickly covered her mouth and looked around to see if anyone was woken up. With no one up to her knowledge, she continued to get the things she needed and limped out of the house with tears in her eyes from the pain in her foot.

But someone had woken up. The two Elric brothers had woken up with the sound of the wrench falling on the floor and then became fully alert when Marinna yelled out in pain. Their room was close enough to where the auto-mail was stored to hear the comotion. Alphonse had whispered Marinna's name when she yelled out and they listened to try and guess what was going on. There wasn't any other noise until the girl went out the door.

"Should we fallow her?" Alphonse asked.

"Why should we? She obviously wanted to be alone," Edward said.

"Something is probably wrong," Alphonse argued.

"And she wanted to be alone to fix it," his brother said back.

"Well we should try and help her."

"If you want fallow her, go ahead. I'm not going to stop you."

"I'll make too much noise."

"Then we'll let her be," Edward said, laying back down on his bed, getting ready to fall back asleep.

"You go," Alphonse said.

"Aww Al. I'm sure there is nothing wrong with her," Edward said.

"Just incase. Would you want someone to care enough about to go after you?" Alphonse asked.

"...Yeah... I guess you're right," Edward said, sitting up, swinging his legs over the edge of the bed he was in.

"Thank you, brother," Alphonse said, feeling gratful that his brother would do what he himself would like to do. And then Marinna could have a chance to open up to Edward. If only I had a body...

"Anytime Al," Edward said, putting his boots on. He was just was going out there in his black vest so his arms showed, his black leather pants, and his black boots.

Walking out of the room, Edward looked around to make sure no one heard him as well. He made his way of the house, looking down at the ground to see if he could see Marinna's footprints in the mud that was now the dirt pathway. Being barefoot and limping, there was some feet marks, Edward fallowed those.

He fallowed them all the way to the cemetary where his mother was burried. A ache in his heart came as he fallowed the footsteps to a different grave, not too far away from his mothers. On the site sat Marinna, her nightgown sticking to her from the rain, her hair dripping wet. She sat there, crying, auto-mail in hand, furiously working on it. Somber eyes resting on Marinna, Edward watched her for a moment.

Feeling eyes on her after a few moments, Marinna looked up, suprised to see Edward there. She set down the auto-mail and stood up, limbing over to where he was standing.

"What are you doing here?" she asked, looking down at her feet, some of her hair falling in her face, her tears now blending in with the rain.

"I think it's me that should be asking you that question," Edward said, his voice gentle, unsure if the grave she was sitting on was someone she had lost.

"I was showing my aunt how good I've gotten at making auto-mail," she said, pain in her voice.

"Your... aunt?" he asked, curious as to who she was talking about.

"Yes... My aunt," Marinna told him, turning to point at the grave she was sitting on. "She died about six months ago. She needed auto-mail, thats why we came to Resembool. We'd heard we could get some good auto-mail here. I asked Pinako if she could teach me to make auto-mail so I could make it for my aunt instead of her and she said yes." Her eyes were looking at the grave that the auto-mail arm sat on, remembering her aunt. "But... after three months after we got here... she got sick..." she continued, tears coming down non-stop. "Let's just say she never got over it."

"I'm sorry..." Edward said, very gentle and sympathetic. "I know what it's like to loose someone like that too..."

She looked back up at Edward and nodded. "I know... Pinako told me all about you and Alphonse..."

Suprised by that Edward didn't know what to say other than, "So where are your mom and dad?"

"Oh... I never knew them... It was just me and my aunt. My aunt always spoke fondly of them, so I don't know if I just got left there or if something else happened to them. She never said..." Marinna said, hurt still in her voice.

Standing there in silence, Edward wasn't sure what to do. Alphonse was the more comforting of the two, but Edward could be like that. And this was his time, but he wasn't sure what to say. There's not much to say. So, she's alone... At least I have Al...

Moving to fill in the remaining space between the two of them, Edward put his real arm around Marinna's shoulders. She looked up at him, tears no longer running down her cheeks, blushing coming across her cheeks, and suprised that he did that.

"You'll catch a cold out here," he said, looking down and smiling at her. She smiled back, leaning againest him as much as she dared. "We should head back. How's your foot?"

"Oh! You heard that!" she asked, suprised. "Uh.. It still hurts... I had to limb here."

"Alright," he said, letting go of her and went and picked up the auto-mail and tools. "Get on my back. I'll carry you," he said, kneeling down.

"Are you sure?" she asked, very suprised, yet happy he was paying attention to her. She was blushing even more now.

Nodding, he said, "Sure. If you hold onto the arm, I can carry you back."

"Alright..." Marinna said, getting on Edward's back. After she had gotten on, Edward handed her the arm, and she wrapped the arm that didn't have the auto-mail to support around him as best she could for support, her legs wrapped around his stomach too.

"Did you want to make my auto-mail, Marinna?" Edward asked as he carried her in the rain back to Pinako's house.

Suprised by his question, she didn't reply right away. In her head, she was debating if she should say the truth. When she did, her voice was soft and timid. "Yes..."

"Because you wanted to make someone's if it couldn't be your aunts?"

"Yes... I thought I could make your auto-mail instead..."

"I want you to make my auto-mail," Edward told her.

"What! What about Winry?" Marinna asked.

"I want you to make it. Your work is great," Edward said, while he was walking, he was looking at the auto-mail in her hand.

Blushing, she replied, "Thank you."

"So, will you make it?"

"It'll be my pleasure," Marinna said, resting her head on his shoulder and closing her eyes.

The rain had stopped a few moments after the two made the deal.

Edward smiled and said, "I guess the weather knows you're not sad anymore. It's happy with you."

"Yeah... I'm happy..." Marinna said.
