Author's Note: Okay, I know. I repeat, I know it has been an extreme LONG time. If you, dear readers were still wondering, I have recovered. Seriously, I was sick for almost a whole month & I still HAD to go to school, feeling tired & weak almost everyday! Sigh, but, I'm fine now. By the way, my end of year exams is just next week, so, yesh, I'm not gonna update straight away. Sorry. :)

"Orange! Orange juice! Orange juice! Orange juice!" (1)
"Mutton! Fishes! Chicken! All the type of meat, you can get it right here!"
"Ah, great. The whole market's crowded today!" The old lady complained to the suit of armour as they strolled around the area.
"We're too late, huh? But, it's only 10 in the morning." Al looked at Granny, who was frowning so much that it made her look more older than she was.
"Oh, the shops here open much earlier than that. Here's a tip, Al. If you ever wanna buy as much groceries as I wanna buy right now, be the first person to be walking around the market. Or in other words, come as early as 6 or 7 or before anyone wakes up." Pinako advised Al as though like he was an old lady who regularly goes to the market to buy his groceries.
Alphonse chuckled at the thought of him looking like an elderly woman. His white sort-of-hair-thingie, which was sticking out of his metal head, would be tied up into a bun. His red eyes would be hidden behind a pair of thick-glassed spectacles. He would have to wear more clothes, not only a loincloth, since he was an old 'lady' and not an old 'man'.
He would have a trolley or a basket with him everywhere he goes. His metal body would look rusty and… old. The young Elric stopped fantasizing about his 'old lady' appearance and pondered about his older brother and their bestfriend.
"Umm, Granny Pinako. Is it alright to leave brother and Winry alone at home?" He questioned as she tossed every plastic bag at him.
"Of course! I'm sure everything will be alright. Right now, they're probably making love." Pinako laughed loudly as Al shook his head and chuckled a bit.
"Ow! Too hot!"
"That's funny. I could have sworn that the water was ice cold a minute ago. Oh, it's the wrong pail. Hey, hold still."
"Ouch! Stop it, you're doing it too hard!"
"Hey, you can't do it by yourself, you know!"
The blonde-haired female snatched the damp towel away from her friend and dipped the piece of fabric into the pail of cold water. The latter pouted and shot an angry glare at her.
"Stop looking at me like that. It's not MY fault that you're sick. And you should be thankful that I bothered to take care of you!" Winry complained as she gently wiped his face, ridding of all the sticky sweats that were sliding his cheeks.
Edward opened his mouth and closed it back. He did not know what to say. He decided to just keep his mouth shut as he was afraid that by saying just one word, it might annoy the hell of Winry.
"Look, Winr-"
"Ed, don't say anything. I know, you're sorry. You didn't mean to frown like that. But, it doesn't change anything. You're a jerk. A big hot-headed jerk. You'll always be." The automail specialist grabbed the pails and rags away and stormed off.
"Great. I just ruined this perfect chance. Maybe if I should take a bath, I could think this out…" The Fullmetal Alchemist sighed to himself and entered into the bathroom.

(1) When I went to Penang (Malaysia) during the holidays, at the bazaar (night market), there was this lady selling fruit juices. & that was how she was saying it. "Orange! Orange juice! Orange juice! Orange juice!" & "Apple! Apple juice! Apple juice! Apple juice!" Haha. Go to Penang, it's a nice place. :)
