NC Ace: I had to update! I got such positive feedback. And sorry if there are typos. It's 'cause all my fingers hurt like heck right now if I try typing. Ah, and please check out my new profile page. I NEED you guys to learn about Yurei, Dante, Kaizer, Yuki, Athrin, Ryu, Paige, and Haru! One note...Envy and Green are mentioned in this, but not the homunculi. What I mean is the actual Envy and Greed.

DivineRose2392: Lookie! I updated! -pokes chapter- Thanks for the feedback!

Winry the Alchemist: I bow to you. You reviews are wonderful, and you're a great writer. I'll try doing Roy and Riza in a future fic, but I'm going to have to find a theme to base it on. Can't use colors again, ya know? And for characters...I love 'em all equally! Even the bad guys! Lust is so...smart as I would call it with my limited vocabulary. Her plans run smoothly, and she doesn't let most bumps and problems trouble her! Gluttony...well...he's just so creative, no? And I won't say much more though.

Kayizzle: Luckily, a really nice girl by the username Winry the Alchemist has told me! It is RoyXRiza. And lol. Yeah, I guess you're right.

dbzgtfan2004: I love that pairing. It's so wonderful! The incredibly two faced mechanic, and the hot tempered alchemist! 3

dramanut26: -pokes chapter- I updated for all you great reviewers!

anangelslife: Thanks! I just think that's what Winry would have felt! And the Silver chapter, I loved the way it turned out. The ideas just keep coming!

Gold

Gold...the color and name of the most precious mineral in the world...and the color of Edward Elric's eyes.

How beautiful those amber gold orbs look, glinted in the sunlight. Just beautiful.

Edward had a habit of hiding his feelings and emotions. But his eyes were the window to his heart. That's where the emotions came up, even if he were hiding them. At Trisha Elric's funeral, Winry saw sorrow and pain. Even though no tears were shed. On the night she had died though...that was the first.

When called short, pipsqueek, or anything that referred to his unusual height, his eyes would be full of anger. Not the real anger, but a playful kind. As if it really didn't trully effect Ed when he was called short. But his outbursts would shield that.

The look of thought took over whenever he read. Edward was a child prodigy. He read at incrediblely fast speeds, and learned it all if he was willing to. The Philosopher's stone had taken his time and life. But it was to a good cause. His younger brother.

The expression Winry longed the most was whenever he looked at her. It was a look of calming sincerity. The only sincerity you can get from a friend who's been close since childbirth. Girl or not, the Elric brothers would always go to Winry to show her their newest transfusion. After their mother of course.

But now, there was a different mood mixed with that sincerity. A small pinch of fear. Not the type of fear of being afraid to die, but the kind of fear as if... "What if...?"

Alphonse and Edward Elric had told her their secrets since childhood, and she had done the same. But now, they had kept many a thing from her. Where they afraid she'd get hurt? Or was it for a different reason? Things had changed between Edward and Winry, and she didn't like it.

She didn't want to be stuck in Risembool, only meeting the brothers when Edward needed his maintenance check up. She didn't want to go to Central, when Edward wouldn't come for check ups. She wanted them to come in sake of their friendship. Not the elder Elric's Automail.

Winry was afraid that she was now only their mechanic. Not their friend, not their neighbor. Just lowly mechanic. Were they afraid of her? Or were they actually too busy with their work to remember her?

But she couldn't help it. It may have been selfish, but it was a friendship she lived with. She wished it would last.

New friends are Silver. Old friends are gold.

Gold...the color of the Edward Elric's eyes.

And the color of the most precious mineral in the world.

The mineral that started Greed, and Envy. Envy, for the precious material.

Envy...for the most precious, golden, friendship there is.

Once again. I do not mean Envy and Greed the homunculi. I mean the real feelings.
