Hi everyone! I hope you all are in the mood for some laughter and fun! Here's another chapter!

Note: As long as my holidays are still running, I have plenty of time to put my mind to work on my fanfics but unfortunately when school starts, on the 5th of September, then the duration between updates will be longer and fewer in between I fear . I'm sorry in advance for it but unfortunately I can't neglect my (soon-to-be) school duties. But I'll try to drop in a one shot every once in a while when I don't have as much homework…etc. :D Thanks for your understanding guys!

ANSWERS TO REVIEWS:

Lily: W-wow, s-seriously (asks bewildered and almost falls out of chair) Oh man thank you so much Lily! *_* haha You can't imagine how HAPPY, EXCITED, LOVED I felt reading all these wonderful reviews! Will do (about your chapter request)! (dances happily) Oh, about your questions: #2: Oh about that…for plot reasons :P haha nah, I have a theory but it's not 100% foolproof, I was thinking of doing it like that; Greed's "Ling lookalike form" is separated from Ling's actual body by a combination of Ling's blood/DNA and the Philosopher's Stone, which means Ling is himself and Greed shares physical similarities with Ling. #3: Ah thanks! I thought I was writing far too many serious fanfics so I hope to write a few more lighter ones in the future, hope that's not too cliché ^_^" #4: Me too!(about reading a fanfic multiple times) Seriously? T_T (anime tears) oh god thank you so much! Seriously! Thanks! (hugs)

Emma: Of course I did! I try to fulfill each and every one of the requests from my dear readers as good as I can, even though I don't always succeed :P Thanks for your review Emma! :D

Penguin19: Hey there girl (sorry if you aren't a girl, I just randomly wrote that :P ) Thanks so much! Haha well I guess my username would be Lion18 (since I love lions and I'm 18) if I would have to choose one as a Guest review :3

The Routine Check-up or not?

Ed sighed as he waited somewhat patiently for Winry to finish ogling the window pane of a mechanic shop, eyeing the various mechanical parts of automail inside.

They were sent by Pinako to buy groceries…they should have actually been back by now but they got…sidetracked.

As Edward was carrying the heavier bags he yawned and covered his mouth with his hand, his human hand. Ed spread his human fingers slightly, on the side where his automail arm used to be. He definitely needed some getting used to that was for sure.

Sometimes, when he would wake up in his own room he had built for himself, back then when he was able to use alchemy, he would still be slightly surprised when he would see that both of his arms were made of flesh and blood. Ed sighed as he tapped his foot impatiently.

"Winry…" he droned, trying to catch her attention so they could finally go home and eat. He was hungry damn it and Al was too. Ever since his younger brother gained his body back and gained enough pounds to be considered "normal" for his height and age, he was eating more than Ed himself, at least at random times.

Often when Greedling, Lan Fan, Colonel (he couldn't believe he was still calling him that despite Mustang being Führer now), Hawkeye and Mei, they, most often Greed/Ling, would joke about Al being pregnant. Interestingly enough, Mei would be blushing like a rose whenever anyone joked about it.

Ed knew there was something going on between his brother and the Xing princess but he only occasionally teased him about, his brother was rather shy and sweet, he would tell Ed whenever he was ready.

Back to the present with the mechanic freak…

"Oi, automail freak, what the hell are you looking at that is so-" as Ed sneaked a peek at the window pane of the shop, he realized with a start that it wasn't a automail shop.

It was a jewelry store.

Winry was looking at a simple, silver ring as Ed carefully followed her gaze. It was nothing special, rather bland and simple. Then again, Winry never asked or necessarily wanted any things with too much "bling" as far as Ed knew.

Ed walked inside the shop, Winry completely absorbed into the ring, he asked the jeweler for the ring and immediately purchased it, not bothering to worry about money. He was a former State Alchemist after all, not to mention something the public considered a hero for saving the world, in truth Ed never viewed himself as such, since he alone wasn't responsible for saving the world.

When Ed exited the shop, the box containing the ring safely stored in his pocket, he saw Winry was glued to the same spot he had left her in. The blond sighed.

"Win…" he shook her shoulder gently, growing more and more impatient the more Winry ignored him, "Winry…hey…come on…"

Ed growled and decided to take drastic measures.

He took a deep breath and adjusted the bags in one arm, rolling up the sleeves of his button up, light blue shirt. It was now or never.

"WINRY LET'S GO HOME ALREADY!" he shouted like a madman as he wrapped one arm around her waist and tried to pull her away from the shop.

Winry snapped out of her trance immediately and fought back, of course, "EDWARD! PUT ME DOWN! WHAT IN THE WORLD ARE YOU DOING YOU ALCHEMY FREAK?!" Winry grit her teeth, trying to disentangle herself from her childhood friend.

"WE HAVE TO GO HOME TO AL AND GRANNY! THEY'RE STARVING TO DEATH BECAUSE OF YOU!" Ed dropped the groceries on the ground carefully and wrapped both his arms around her waist to put more strength in his pulls. He didn't notice the curious stares of the people around them.

"Oh my, isn't that Edward Elric? I didn't know he and Winry had a thing going on…" one guy scratched his head as he watched the pair with mixed feelings.

"What? Edward and Winry? About time! I've been waiting for years for those two to realize it!" a middle aged man snorted with crossed arms.

"ED! STOP IT! I WANNA STAY!" Winry gripped the side of the window pane with all her might, trying to get away from Ed.

Curse him for training.

Edward finally ripped her away from the store and hauled her over one broad shoulder, picking up the groceries with the other.

With that he walked through town like it was the most normal thing having a screaming, punching young woman over his shoulder.

He greeted several people he knew by face on the way, waving and grinning at them as if Winry wasn't punching at his back like a madwoman.

"EDWARD! Let me go already! I'm wearing a dress mind you! People may see under my dress you idiot!" Winry cried, continuing to beat her fists against Ed's back.

Where was her trusty wrench when she needed it?

Ed's eyes widened in realization as his cheek rested lightly against her hip, not even noticing the contact. His face turned tomato red in a matter of seconds and he, in a reflexive, impulsive way, quickly wrapped both hands over her rump.

Winry erupted like a volcano.

"YOU PERVERT!" she managed to land a kick at his side, nearly causing him to fall backward before he stabilized himself and firmly shut her legs closed against his chest, barking at her back angrily.

"WHAT THE HELL IS YOUR PROBLEM WOMAN?! I'M TRYING TO PREVENT YOU FROM FLASHING ANY GUY AND YOU'RE KICKING ME!"

"BECAUSE YOU'RE BEING A PERVERT AND TOUCHING ME!" her face was incredibly red as she rested one hand over her eyes.

Edward blushed, frowning as he still kept a hand protectively over her butt, trying hard not to focus on the feeling of his hand over the soft, curvy-

"Argh! Damn it! Just s-shut up and hold onto me!" Edward mumbled something else under his breath as he felt Winry's hands ghost over his back as she tried to find some leverage.

"A-alright," Winry huffed, "Alchemy freak," Ed shot her hips a dirty look but quickly averted his gaze as he felt his cheeks heat up.

Halfway home, Ed lowered Winry carefully down to the ground.

"My back is killing me!" Ed bent this way and that, trying to get feeling back in his shoulder and back.

"Oh stop whining Edward! I didn't beg you to manhandle me like that!" the mechanic crossed her arms, a irritated look on her face.

"Sorry…" Ed scratched the back of his neck in embarrassment, thinking over the reason why he even picked up Winry and rushed home like that in the first place.

Guys were staring at Winry.

Ed's blood had been boiling.

For reasons he didn't want to necessarily deepen, his anger skyrocketed as he caught quite a few men ogling Winry from her bent position at the window pane. They completely ignored Edward at her side and he had wished he still had his automail arm, so he could scare them off by showing them his sharp new blade.

He was ripped out of his thoughts when he almost tripped, quite literally, over Winry. Ed just managed to stop himself, flailing with his arms as his gaze shot down to her to see what the hell she was doing.

"Uhh….W-Winry?" Ed's eyes almost bulged out of his head as he rapidly blinked down at the mop of blonde hair at eye level with his…crotch. Ed frantically looked around himself, feeling himself sweating buckets and waterfalls in his shoes.

"What does it look like I'm doing Ed? Your leg just sounded funny, it has been a long time since I checked your leg. That was BEFORE the Promised Day you know?" Winry scolded, concentrating on testing Ed's automail leg.

A relieved sigh left Edward's lips as he thought he was going delirious from the heat.

"What were you thinking what I was doing anyway?" Winry asked him as she straightened up with her hands on her hips.

Ed blanched, paling at the question.

"Uhh…n-nothing! I-I don't know w-what you mean! I had n-no idea what you were doing!" Ed scratched the back of his neck, grabbing her wrist and quickly sprinting for the Rockbell-Elric home.

This woman would kill him one day, Ed was sure of it.

Then she insisted on checking on his automail…

Shit.

Cliffhanger! ;) Tell me what you think will happen in the next chapter! Hihi I hope you don't mind if I wrote this little one shot based on my own crazy ideas! I promise your own prompts will come soon! (sweat drop)
