NC Ace: I really must thank all of you reviewers! You always make my day!
-throws confetti- Whoo! The hiatus notice was just a blunder. My mom doesn't even care I'm on!

DivineRose2392: Like I always say! -pokes chapter- I updated!
HM-Babe: Thank you. Encouragement is all I need to continue.
Kayizzle: You might eh? Lol. For these, I think short and sweet is the way to go. There are a lot of Envy fans out there. -stares at Envy- NEVER!
Winry the Alchemist: -bows several times- Forgive me for accidentally using your ideas! I had just read a whole ton of FMA fanfics the day I read yours, so while writing the chapter I was all: Was this in a story I read? It sounds familiar... And just put it in! Sorry! And the ideas you have are so personal, they're great! I praise you!
Nyago: Thank you! I do get the idea from several sources. -pokes Winry the Alchemist-
Meika-chan: I'm keep using the colors my friend! I like the idea. That was the first idea I had when I started the story. "Hm...maybe I should have the chapters be colors...", so I'm not sure you can take full credit for that... ;; And I already had written the chapter called Red, ever since the story started. I'm just waiting for the timing to be right. But the matter is that the chapter is more angsty then romancy.
anangelslife: Thanks! If you've read my Roy/Riza fic, I use numbers! I'm planning one based on letters, but it's not FMA based, sorreh.

Peach
He only saw her once in a while, but it was all worth it.
Her corn blonde hair was a different alternative to his amber like locks. Her sapphire eyes were bright and cheerfull unlike his dull sober ones. Winry was a whole different person from him now. Yet, what was so beautiful about her was her unblemished complexion.
Resulting from the...accident, Edward had lost a leg and arm, and now he was stuck with auto-mail, scars even branching out from the area of the missing limbs.
Long before, Winry, Ed and Al were all birds of a feather. That was until Ed and Al learned Alchemy. And now, Winry was a beautiful girl, pursuing her dream in mechanics, while he and his brother, now stuck in a suit of armor, searched for the Philosopher's Stone.
He didn't want to look for it all his life. He didn't want to become like Dr. Marcoh or Russell's father. No, he wanted a normal life and it was only with Winry when he got what he wanted.
Winry's skin was lighter than his, maybe it were because she spent so much time indoors working on auto-mail. But that made her all the more beautiful.
Most of the military had scars, due to the Ishbalan war and the training. Heck, Edward was surprised he hadn't gotten any more scars.
But hers...unblemished and perfect.
Al. His soul was stuck in a suit of armor. On a cold winter night, the metal was close to freezing. And because of that, the same went to Ed's auto-mail.
Yet her skin would be soft and warm. Her hands though...due to working with auto-mail and tools, she'd always bare small nicks and scatches. It wasn't pleasant to know that the majority of those resulted from his auto-mail.
No, he wouldn't let her skin be hurt anymore. If any harm went to her due to alchemy or the war, it would tear his insides apart. She had already been hurt emotionly by the war. He couln't let her be hurt from the outside also.
That was why he didn't tell her. It was because he knew she'd follow after them and risk her life. No, he wouldn't allow that. That is why he and Al kept it quiet.
They've always been like this. Lying on behalf of others. They had lied to hughes and Armstrong and they've lied to many others.
But, he couldn't lie to Winry. So he kept quiet.
Peach. A calm quiet color. Hopefully it would stay that way.
