The morning sunlight streamed in through the windows, waking Winry from her sleep. She sat up, rubbing her eyes and looking around the room. Ruby was sound asleep in her bed, the bright light not seeming to bother her slumber one bit. She glanced at the clock. 9:34 AM.

"Ru-u-by, wake u-u-up," Winry started shaking Ruby awake.

"Mumph!" She mumbled into her pillow. Winry grabbed the pillow out from under her and began thrashing her with it. How did she get back to the room? Oh, right, Envy carried her back, early in the morning.

"Wake UP!" Ruby sat up just to be thwacked down by the mighty wrath of the pillow. "Oopsey..."

"Nice going," Ruby mumbled. She sat up with her arms covering her head in case there were any more rogue pillows on the loose. Winry threw the pillow on the ground.

"You're usually up before the sun, what's up?" She asked. Ruby yawned, shrugging her shoulders. Winry stood up.

"Fine, don't tell me then. I'm getting dressed before Ed and Al go to breakfast without us."

"So Ruby, what do you think you'll do when we go back to Resenbool?" Winry asked. "After all, it's been so long. I bet you'll want to just walk around a bit at first, right?"

"Huh?" Ruby snapped out of her tiredness as she walked beside Ed on the way to breakfast. "Oh, yeah, I suppose." Ed nudged her with his arm.

"You okay? You've been awfully quiet. It's not like you." Ruby just nodded, leaning against Ed's shoulder. He smiled, taking her hand in his as they walked.

"When will we leave, Winry?" She asked. Winry looked up at the bright blue sky.

"I don't know, in a day or two, I guess." She smiled as a cloud took the shape of a flat-head screwdriver, or at least that's what it looked like to her. Ruby jumped.

"So soon?" She asked. She clung on to Edward's arm. Winry gave her a sympathetic look. They'd only had a few days together and Ruby still had a lot of lost memories, though some would be best left lost.

"You should go back to Resenbool soon anyway, before the military tries to find out what happened to the homunculus they were supposed to have killed." Al said. Ed looked at him.

"I hadn't even thought of that," he said, "but that's true. You don't want them to find you again. It's safer back at the auto-mail shop." He held Ruby in a tight embrace. "I don't want them to find you, okay?"

"Don't worry, Ed, they won't." Ruby gave him a kiss on the cheek before pulling away. "Just be sure you take care of yourself, alright?" She forced a smile onto her face.

"Okay, enough of this, I'm starving!" Winry smirked in amusement. She always knew they cared for each-other, though she didn't realize how much until only a few days ago.
