NC Ace: Thanks for all the reviews! This one is kind of like another part to the chapter Gold. It describes more of Winry's feelings about the Elrics traveling. Well...the reason for that is because I've got no other inspiration... oO Envy is mentioned a lot in this chapter, but once again, the feeling, not homunculi.

I am so very sorry, but I shall be on hiatus for at least a month. I may post during the hiatus, but please read when I do post. I'm so SORRY!

DivineRose2392: Heh. The only reason I'm updating so fast is 'cause I have WAY too much time on my hands... oO;;

anangelslife: Thankies. I have too much time on my hands I admit.

Kayizzle: That's where I got the idea! An Envy fan eh? Envy's awesome. Like I mentioned before, all of 'em are! -starry eyes-

Winry the Alchemist: Your welcome! -bow- But really, I should be thanking you! I just had to have a chapter that has something to do with his eyes. Whenever I draw him, the place I take most attention to are his eyes!

HM-Babe: Thanks! All the reviews I get are what makes me keep continuing!

Nyago: I try as hard as I can to stick with the real personalities of the characters! And I just noticed that Ed and Al do seem to slowly grow apart from our dear Winry.

ErskaMay: I find no use to even reply to your review, seeing as if you may not read this chapter. Oh well. You're my first flamer! Whoo. And yes, my brain has turned to mush. x3 But why would Edward get a child with Rose? That's what I find utterly impossible.

Green

Green...The color of envy.

The blonde sat in the workshop, the auto-mail parts scattered around her. Edward would be coming. Yet...for his maintenance check up. By now he would need a new arm...

Maybe she should mess up, having Edward come back again. No. She didn't want him coming in through the door yelling, "Winry, your auto-mail's defective!" Worse yet, Edward did dangerous things all the time. He might get himself killed...

People envy a lot of things...power...wealth...love. But that's not what Winry envied. She envied friendship. Everyone underestimated her for being a girl. Auto-mail mechanics looked at her outside, not her talent. That's what annoyed her most. People underestimating her for her gender.

But Edward and Al didn't do that. They had wrestled with her all the time. Heck, she had even annoyed Edward once for having a 'tea party'. She chuckled as she remembered his reaction.

Now...the two brothers were too busy. Too busy for friends. Too busy for fun. all their time went to the Stone. If they even had time to spare, they'd use it one studying, and researching. How she missed the old days...

She hated the military. They were what started this. They're the ones that killed her parents. And they're the ones that Edward went to. Why did he? To gain access to the research the military had done. Maybe it was the best. Maybe it wasn't.

Do they care about her anymore? She wasn't sure. How would she be sure? She wasn't some phsycic that could tell what other people were thinking. But maybe it would be better if she didn't know.

Winry wasn't sure if they were keeping secrets for her safety. She wasn't sure if they just were keeping secrets. But it would be better if she didn't know. She didn't want to know the truth. She was too afraid to know the truth.

"Hey! Win!"

She woke up from her daydreams and stood up. They were here. She made her decision. Even though she couldn't be their friend, she'd try to be their best mechanic. She wouldn't let herself 'turn green with envy'. Besides. Green was the color of the blades of grass, dancing along with the wind outside. She wouldn't let such a color have such a bad definition.

"Oh hey Ed, Al!"
