"Winry, are you still into that auto-mail stuff?" Ruby asked. Winry smiled.
"Who did you think made that arm and leg?" She replied, pointing at Ed.
"Ed, you lost an arm and leg!" Ruby gasped. Winry had forgotten Ruby had already died before Ed and Al tried to bring back their mother.
"It was after.. It was a while ago." Ed said. He showed Ruby his metal arm.
"Wow," she said. She put her hand on it; the cool metal sent a shiver through her. The four of them continued walking until they reached a hotel.
"You'll share a room with me," Winry said as they walked in. "Just like we were back home again." Ruby smiled. The two people she remembered most were her sister and Ed.
"Brother and I will be in the room next door." Al said. Winry opened the door and Ruby walked in. The room was nice, with two beds a sofa and a bathroom. A suitcase was on one bed.
"That's some stuff I brought for you," Winry said, noticing Ruby stare at it, "some clothes that should fit you, a hairbrush, and some things from when we were kids." Ruby opened it. On the top of a pile of dresses and shirts there was a photo. Winry walked up behind her. "That's Mom and Dad." She said.
"How are they?" Ruby asked. Winry looked away.
"They- They were killed in the war against Ishbal." She said. Ruby sat on the bed, looking at the photo.
"They were nice, why would anybody want to kill them?" Ruby asked. Winry didn't reply.
The sun was setting as Winry and Ruby heard a knock on their door.
"Hey, it's us, open up!" Ed's voice called from the other side. Ruby opened the door to let them in. "We thought you might like some dinner. We're going down to this nice little restaurant and thought you could join us."
"Sounds great, I'm starving!" Winry said. "I've been so busy working on this piece of auto-mail I brought along I had forgotten about dinner."
"I'm starving too so let's go already!" Ed said. A rumbling sound echoed through the room causing everyone but Ed to laugh. "Told you I'm hungry."
"Hey, guys, I'll be right back." Ruby said, walking over to a fountain. She sat on the edge of it, staring into the depths of the water.
"We'll be at the hotel, okay?" Ed called.
"Okay," Ruby called back. She looked around the dark streets.
"It's been a few days," a voice said. Ruby spun around to see a man standing behind her. She stared at him for a moment.
"I know you, but, who are you?" She asked, standing up. The man came closer, taking her hand in his.
"I'm surprised; I thought you would remember me after I took care of you during your transformation." Ruby gasped.
"Y-you're Envy!" She said. Envy pulled her in for a kiss but Ruby pulled away. "You're a homunculus!" She backed up. Envy tightened his hold on her hand, stepping forward until he was only inches from her face.
"I don't know what those Elric boys told you about me but you don't have to be afraid of me." He wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her in for a kiss. He walked away, leaving her standing there.
When Ruby returned to the hotel, she didn't go back to her room where Winry would be, sleeping already. Instead she went to Edward's room. She knocked gently on the door. Ed opened it, letting her in.
"So what were you doing for so long?" He asked. Ruby shrugged.
"I was just trying to remember things," she said. Ed kissed her. He went to pull away but Ruby moved in closer, deepening the kiss as she put one hand on his chest and the other around his back. Ed put his arms around her waist as she pulled away. "Where's Al?" She asked.
"He's visiting some old friends," Ed slipped his hand under her shirt, pulling her in for another kiss. Ruby slipped off Ed's jacket, lying on the bed. Ed moved his kisses to her neck as he lay down beside her.
