Winry and Sciezsca entered the Pizza parlor that they had planned to meet the boys at. The two girls looked around, and found the boys in question sitting at the usual table, in the far back corner.
"You're late." The older of the two brothers commented when Winry and Shez walked up to the table.
"Well, at least I'm not late every other day!" the blonde mechanic countered, somewhat defensively.
Shez and Al shared a glance, they both knew that, obviously, yet another heated argument was brewing between the two blondes.
Alphonse gave a sigh, "guys" he said, "Could you please, just settle down?"
The two stopped, mid sentence, looked at Al, then each other.
"Fine!" they both snapped in unison.
Sciezska gave a sigh of her own, and slid into the seat next to Alphonse, placing a gentle kiss on his cheek. "So, how have you boys been lately?" she asked, in an attempt to change the subject.
"Yeah, short stuff, how's it going?' Winry bounced back to her cheerful self, plopping into the only vacant seat at the table. Next to Ed.
Just as Ed was about to blow a gasket, and probably through the insult out of proportion like he always did, something hit the table with a fairly loud slap. So Ed settled for a death glare in Winry's direction, before looking to see what had caused the noise. There stood Paninia, leaning against the table, in her usual black tank top, and baggy tan camouflage pants.
"What's up, guys?" She grinned, pointing to a few papers she set in the table" I can't stay long, just had to give you guys this. The location and directions for the next race."
"'bout damn time!" Ed practically shouted, earning a slap no the back of the head by, you guessed it, Winry.
"Not so loud!" She said, in a tone that probably matched his.
Paninia sighed and shook her head, before smiling and turning to Al and Sciezsca. "So, how's the lovely couple?"
"We've been pretty good." Shez answered, lacing her fingers with Alphonse's. He smiled. Unfortunately, a loud clatter of something hitting the floor ruined the precious moment. The three looked over to the other side of the table, to see Ed and Winry locked in a struggle. She apparently, tried to hit him again, and he caught her wrists. She tried to hit him again to make him let her go. The end result was them both leaning to far over the table, and knocking the water pitcher to the floor.
They both paused a second, blinking at the mess of water now on the floor. Winry broke the silence first.
"Now look what you did!" She shouted, trying to take another swing at him, forgetting he still had a grip on her wrists.
"I didn't do that!"
"Did too!"
"Did not!"
"Did too!"
"Pizza's here!" Paninia said brightly, cutting into the verbal war. She then leaned over to whisper to Shez "We so need to hook them up."
"Yeah, but this provides good entertainment." The book worm said in her own hushed tone, referring to the constant arguments the blondes got into. "People who don't know us would be surprised to know they're best friends."
Paninia laughed a bit, nodding before straightening up and heading for the door, as a waited brought out the long awaited food. "Later, guys!"
Winry looked at her friend curiously, "What was that all about?"
"Nothing," Sciezska said, waving it off.
Winry's eyebrow remained raised a moment before she shook her head and they all dug into the pizza, "Whatever."
Yeah, yeah, another short chapter, leave me alone. I'm working on it, ok.
But, to answer a question real quick: The place and time is the same as in the series, they just have our technology. Oh, and in my story, Automail doesn't exist, so people like Ed who had it in the series….. Don't need it in my story.
Later!
