May stared at the number, that she had written down. She started dialing the number, nervously.
"Rockbell Automail." An older woman's voice answered the phone.
"Is Winry Rockbell there?" May asked, timidly.
"Winry! Someone's on the line for you!" May faintly heard the older woman shout.
"Hello." She heard a young woman's voice.
"Are you Winry Rockbell?" May asked her.
"Yes. Who are you?" The young woman answered.
"I'm May Elric, Edward Elric's sister-in-law." May answered.
"Why are you calling, Mrs. Elric?" Winry asked.
"You can call me May. I want to help you get close to Ed." May chimed, cheerfully.
"Why?" Winry asked.
"I think that you could be good for him." May announced.
"You're not just talking about Automail, are you?" Winry asked, as a blush rose upon her face.
"I'll tell you all about it if you agree to eat dinner with me tomorrow afternoon." May answered back, slyly.
Winry flipped through her schedule for the next day, and answered back, "Sure."
May was thrilled, but tried desperately not to show it.
"I'll drop the kids off with Ed; they adore their uncle." May informed Winry.
"Wait... Kids?" Winry asked May.
"I have to go, I'll call you back, Winry." May hung up, immediately, after that perky goodbye.
Winry stared at the phone in her hand, and then she muttered something about, "All Elrics being rude."
What are you supposed to wear to meet a famous singer's sister-in-law?
May had called Winry back a while back to tell her where they would meet, and at what time.
'I'll just wear my usual.' Winry decided. 'If she doesn't like it, then so be it.'
Winry realized, that May was the youn Xingese woman, that had been talking to Edwatd Elric the other day.
May was wearing a light pink dress with a white bow around her waist. May had her hair braided in to two buns on either side of her head, and had many small braids coming out of the two buns. (It was probably a Xingese hair style.) Her eyes were a pretty ebony color.
"Are you May Elric?" Winry asked the younger woman.
"Yes." May answered with a dazzling smile.
"I'm Winry Rockbell." Winry introduced herself.
May nodded, and led Winry towards the cafe, that they would be eating at.
"I heard that you picked a fight with Ed."
"Sorry about that." Winry apologized.
"No, no. It's a good thing. Ed needs someone to make sure that he's taking care of himself." May added, waving away Winry's apology.
"You are talking about Automail, right?" Winry asked.
"Of course. What else would I be talking about?" May asked, slyly.
Winry shrugged.
"So, what do you know about me?" May asked, as they sat down.
"Not much, really." Winry answered May's question, honestly.
"I met Edward and Alphonse when they moved in with their father. Ed and I never got along with eachother, but Alphonse was a different story. I fell in love with him; we were engaged. It was three weeks away from our wedding day when the train crashed, and killed him." May told Winry.
"I'm sorry." Winry shook with barely contained sobs, as she apologized to May.
"What are you apologizing for? Did you crash that train?" May asked her.
"No." Winry answered.
"There's no need to apologize." May told her.
"Alphonse got you pregnant, right?" Winry asked May.
"Yeah, we had twins. I named one after Alphonse, and my daughter after Alphonse's mom." May explained to Winry.
"What happened to Edward and Alphonse's mother?" Winry asked.
"She died when Ed and Alphonse were young. They moved in to their father's house after that." May explained.
"Ed's taken this pretty hard, and I think that you can help him through that pain."
Winry stared wide eyed at May Elric after May had said that last line.
