Chapter Three-Official

"So what'dya do to your leg anyway?" Winry pulled her heavy work gloves on as Ed hopped up on the table in her shop.

"I actually was running to catch a train and turned my ankle." She rolled his pant leg up some to get a better look. Sure enough the joint had been bent sideways and was hyper extending the line all the way up to his knee.

"How long were you walking on it like this?" Edward shrugged back.

"A couple of days."

"You've always gotta break your automail bad, don't you. It's never a small repair." Ed scratched the back of his head.

"Sorry, I really wasn't trying to mess it up."

"Well it has been about a year, I guess the fact that it lasted even that long is a miracle." Ed narrowed his eyes at her.

"Gee thanks." She stood up from her seat to rummaging through her tool box.

"Alright, alright. I shouldn't pick on you so much." Finding her screwdriver, she turned back to him. "Okay, take your pants off." For some reason he became flushed and hesitated. Winry crossed her arms and arched an eyebrow. "What, are you shy?"

"Well it's just that we're gonna get married soon and I don't know, it just seems different now." He shifted some on the table.

"Ed, this is stupid. Why should that change anything?" He looked away, still blushing.

"It just does." As they continued to argue about it, the phone rang loudly. After several rings, Pinako grabbed the receiver in the kitchen.

"Hello?"

"Hey Granny. It's Alphonse." Pinako smiled, leaning against the wall.

"Well hello Al. How are you doing?"

"I'm fine. You haven't heard from Brother, have you?" She could hear her granddaughter's argument with her now fiance from the other room. "Actually he came in last night. Hang on, I'll let him know you're on the phone." She placed the receiver down and reluctantly headed into the shop. What she saw when she entered was not what she expected. Ed was still on the table while Winry was struggling to get his pants off him. He had his right foot up, trying to push her away while she had her hands around his waist. When the door opened, they both stopped, staring at Pinako. She shook her head and couldn't help but smile.

"Your brothers' on the phone. And if you two are planning on fooling around, we've got plenty of bedrooms upstairs." Winry started blushing at that point, and leaned backwards. Ed cleared his throat and grabbed for the phone next to the work bench. Pinako remained where she was before he turned to her abruptly.

"Thank you." His tone made it clear that he wanted her to leave. Finally she walked off and he brought the phone up to his ear. "Alphonse?"

"Hey Ed, you're back home already?" Edward couldn't help but smile at the sound of his younger brother's voice on the other end. They hadn't spoken in months. As he continued to talk to Al, Winry went back to her attempt to get his pants off. Since he didn't want to fight her while on the phone, he just decided to let her take them off.

"So what's going on over in Xing?" Winry could hear Al's excited tone as he told his brother all about the country to the east of them. It sounded like he was having a great time. "So when do you think you're gonna come back?"

"Oh well, I don't know. I wasn't planning on it for awhile." Before Edward had a chance to reply, Winry yanked the phone away from him.

"Al, you have to get back here in two months. Ed and I are getting married." Ed's jaw dropped in shock.

"Two month!" Winry turned back to Edward with a devious smile. "Yeah that's right, so you have to be back by then."

"We can't get married in two months, are you crazy! Do you know how much planning goes into these things?" Winry completely ignored anything Ed had to say.

"I'm sure it wouldn't be a problem for May to come. Maybe you could even get Ling and LanFan too." Edward dropped his head, knowing that it didn't matter what he said, she wasn't going to listen to him.
