Note from the Author: You may remember a little reference to something like this happening in the anime. The last few lines of episode 38, I think, Ed and Al are talking about old fights they had, and I thought it was really amusing. I thought it would be fun to write the actual fight. :) Yeah, this one's short too. But it doesn't really matter, does it?

DISCLAIMER: I don't own Full Metal Alchemist or any of the characters, no matter how much I may want to.

Ed shoved Al as hard as he could, sending his younger brother to the ground, but he wasn't down for long. Al jumped back and took what would be technically called the first punch, though the two brothers had been pushing each other back and forth for almost an hour. It was Ed's turn to bring up a cloud of dust as he hit the ground as Al's small fist knocked the side of his face.

"Just because you're older you think you can do anything you want!" Al yelled at Ed, who was standing back up as fast as he could to take his turn at Al.

"That's not true!" Ed fought pathetically, "You're not good enough for her that's all!" Al felt himself grow steadily more angry.

"I am too!" he shouted, swinging at his brother again but missing. When Ed realized the nerves he was hitting, he didn't feel the need to try to physically hit his brother. For now.

"Oh, now you're saying you're better than her?" Ed tormented further.

"No I'm didn't!"

"Sounded like you did!"

"Shut up!" The third swing hit Ed again. Ed's cocky attitude vanished as he pushed himself up for the second time.

"That's it!" he threatened, tossing a more powerful punch at Al, throwing all the strength he had into it, for revenge for the bruises forming on his face, for the damage done to his pride, and the simple satisfaction of proving a non-existing point.

"I'm gonna marry Winry and that's final!" Ed shouted as his curled fingers collided with Al's jaw. Tears started forming in the younger brother's eyes as he grabbed the wounded area and looked angrily at his brother.

"But I want to!" he shouted, "Besides, I like her more than you do!"

"Nu-uh!"

"Uh-huh!"

"Nu-uh!"

"What are you two fighting about?" The Elric brothers stopped fighting and turned with a jump to see the very source of their fight. Both blushed a little and turned away from the other.

"Well, are you gonna answer me or not?" Winry pushed, putting her fists on her hips, ready to scold at any moment.

"Al wants to marry you…" Ed said quietly, "But I want to too…" It sounded so ridiculous when he said it out loud. Winry started giggling. Her hands relaxed and her arms were put down at her side.

"Well, you can both marry me!" she concluded, "You can take turns marrying me whenever you want! Does that help?" Shining smiles covered both Ed and Al's faces. They turned to each other, forgetting the reason they had forming bruises and gave each other a look that settled the entire argument. They looked back at Winry.

"Sure!" they said together.

"Good!" Winry declared triumphantly and walked away feeling accomplished that she had managed to stop a fight and get engaged all in one.

"Hear that, Al, she said I could marry her!" Ed poked, bumping his younger brother with his elbow.

"She I could too!" Al shouted back.

"But she really meant me!"

"No she didn't! Why would anyone like you? You're mean and you snore!"

"I do not!"

"You do too!"

"Who cares? I'm marrying Winry!"

"No! I am!" Smack.

"Stop hitting your older brother!"

"You hit me first!"
