Happy Birthday Winry!

A MeganTheNerd Special

Just when you thought it was over, it returns… in an epilogue! :D

I'm sorry, that first sentence was really cheesy but something as amazing as this needs a cheesy intro!

Disclaimer: I don't own anything except the plot (and only part of the plot at that. The basic plot was thought up by Krizteena.)

We go back to Alphonse and Pinako down stairs…

"What's taking them so long?" Pinako wondered aloud, "Alphonse, why don't you go get them before the food gets cold."

"Okay granny," Al said as he started to walk towards the stairs.

------------------

Back in the bedroom, Ed and Winry were still hugging.

**KNOCK KNOCK**

They jumped five miles apart the second that Al opened the door.

"What have you two been doing? Dinner was ready ten minutes ago," Al asked.

"Talking!" Ed and Winry screamed at the same time with their faces as red as Ed's jacket.

"Are you sure?" Al said with smirk.

"Yes, Al, we just talked end of story!" Ed exclaimed.

If at all possible, Al's smirk got even wider. "Alright, I believe you. Now come down stairs. Dinner's been ready for a while," He said and walked out of the room. The two embarrassed teens soon followed suit.

When Ed and Winry got to the bottom stairs they were greeted by all of their friends screaming "HAPPY BIRTHDAY WINRY!!!" Sheska, Armstrong, Izumi, Sig, Brosh, Ross, Gracia, Hughes (he's not dead damn it!), Hawkeye and Mustang were all there, each with a present for Winry.

Winry was so happy that she was on the verge of crying. She went around giving hugs and receiving presents as fast as she could. While she was doing that, Ed suddenly remembered that he didn't have a present for Winry. "Shit," He thought.

He looked around at the gifts other people had gotten her and realized that he was going to look like a jerk for being the only person to not get her present. That's when he saw a grinning Mustang give his mechanic a giant bouquet of roses which she graciously accepted. For some reason, it really pissed him off but he just couldn't figure out why.

"I don't have time to be angry at Coronel Bastard right now! I have to think of something to give Winry! Transmuting a present is the fastest and easiest way but the only problem is what to transmute!" The blond thought as he somewhat ran outside. "What would she want? A new wrench, Naw, that's too obvious, someone else probably got her one already. Damn it! What do girls like? Flowers? No, 'Mustang' already has that covered. Jack ass. He doesn't even really know Winry! I bet he's only here because the lieutenant dragged him here. Sometimes it's hard to tell who's the superior and who's the subordinate. Anyway, I need to focus."

While Ed thinks about his present, we go back to everyone back in the house.

"Thank you so much Gracia!" Winry said after receiving a pair of beautiful sapphire earrings from Gracia.

"If you really want to thank me, you should wear them and ask Edward what he thinks of them," the stay at home mother said with an almost evil smile.

"Why do you care about what Ed thinks? I certainly don't! I like them and I don't need Ed to like them!" Winry stammered.

"If you don't care then why are you blushing?" Gracia asked.

Turning an even brighter shade of red, Winry glared at Gracia. "Shut up."

"I will when you ask Ed," She said retaining her evil smile.

Winry sighed, "Alright, I'll do it. But only because I know you won't let it go."

"Good girl," Gracia complemented as Winry walked away.

Hughes walked up to his wife and put his arm around her. "Did ya' talk her into it?" he asked casually.

"You bet," she replied.

------------------

"Hey Al!" Winry called.

Alphonse turned away from his plate of food and smiled at Winry. "Yeah?"

"Have you seen your brother lately?" she asked.

Al put his hand on his chin like he was thinking. "I think I saw him go outside a little while after you two came downstairs."

"Thanks Al," Winry said as she started to walk towards the back door.

------------------

Ed was sitting up against a tree holding a small tiara. "It seems kind of cheesy but it's the best I could come up with," he thought. It was a tiara made of wood with little petals and leaves for jewels. "Girls like flowers and nature right? It should be fine."

Popping out from behind the tree, Winry asked, "What are you doing Ed?"

After almost having a heart attack, Ed managed to stutter out some response and hide the tiara before the other blond saw it.

"Mind if I sit down?" Winry asked.

Ed swallowed, "Not at all."

"Are you alright Ed?"

"I'm fine," he said. "Why am I so nervous all the sudden? Pull it together Elric!"

"Hey Ed, what do you think of these earrings?" Winry said gesturing to her new jewelry.

Ed looked up from the ground and was in a trance. The earrings glittered almost as brightly as Winry's eyes. Scratch that, they were only a third as bright her eyes. "They're nice," Ed mumbled, "they make your eyes look beautiful."

Winry blushed a deep crimson, looked down to the ground and whispered a "thanks" as she played with her hair. Ed scooted a little closer and handed her the tiara without a word.

The automail junkie stared at the tiara the alchemist was holding out to her. She carefully removed it from his hand and set it on the top of her head. She then leaned over and gave Ed a quick peck on the cheek. Winry whispered another thanks and walked back to the house, leaving the bright red boy under the tree.

------------------

"Thanks for coming! And thanks for the earrings!" Winry cheerfully said to Gracia and Hughes as they walked away.

Mr. and Mrs. Hughes waved back and continued walking.

"Where do you think she got that tiara?" Maes asked his wife.

"Give you 3 guesses." Gracia said.

When Winry shut the door she let out a long sigh. It had been a long day. First an unruly customer, then a surprise visit from the Elric's, next a surprise party. She knew that it was probably the best birthday she would ever have but that didn't stop her from being tired.

"I'm going to bed," she told her grandmother in the kitchen.

"Night Winry," Pinako replied.

"Night Granny," the birthday said as she climbed the stairs to the second story. As soon as she entered her room, she flopped down on the bed.

------------------

Ed was walking down the hallway when he saw the Winry's door was open. He walked over to close it but when he looked in he saw his mechanic sprawled over her bed with no covers.

"I guess it wouldn't hurt to at least get her a blanket,"

The alchemist walked in, grabbed an extra quilt from the closet, and draped it over the automail prodigy. For a while he just stood there looking at her. Then he pushed a stray hair out of her face but didn't pull his hand back. Instead of removing his hand from her face, he leaned down and gave her a loving kiss on the forehead. "Goodnight Winry."

Afterwards, he promptly left the room wondering why felt the need to do that. Winry opened her eyes. "Goodnight Edward."

Sorry this was so late! Hontoni Gomenisai!

School is quite the bitch, but I beat it and wrote this instead of finishing my English and Social Studies projects, so you better appreciate it!

Mustang: Don't you mean "starting" your projects?

SHUT UP STUPID, SEXY, MUSTANG! I'll make Riza go out with Havoc if you don't shut up.

Mustang: Alright! I'll shut up!

Good boy.
