Chapter 6

Reunion and Resembool

Winry runs toward the car. Jumping in before the Elrics even have a chance to get out. Hugging them both and crying tears of happiness. Ed and Al blush just a little at how she is acting.

"I thought I would never see either of you again. Welcome home."

"Thanks Winry I never knew I would see you either. I guess we really were meant to be here." Says Ed.

"Well I hope you plan on staying this time. I don't know how you came back but please don't ever leave again. Please no more dangerous adventures. Come home Ed, Al, please come home. Granny doesn't know your back and I want to bring you two home with me."

"Well I guess we don't have a choice, do we Ed? We will need to bring Major Thomas along with us. He is in need of some of your handy work."

"What? Why Major Thomas?"

Winry lets go of the two and walks to the car in front of Ed and Al. She stands beside the car looking down at the Majors leg. He looks up to see a very upset young woman staring down at him. This part he feared. Having to explain to her why he was missing a limb was not something anyone should look forward too. When she looks up into his eyes the upset feeling goes away and you would swear you saw fire burning in those soft blue eyes. Before he could respond a wrench out of no where smacks him right in the forehead and he goes flying across the back seat of the car. Ed and Al run towards Winry to try to stop her from killing him.

"What the hell is your problem? I fix you twice and you still do such stupid things! What do you have to loose before you learn your damn lesson?"

"Please stop Winry. He had to do this. If he didn't we wouldn't have been able to come home. Everything he lost was because of us."

"Al, is this true?" She holds up her wrench. " I know you wouldn't lie to me Al. Did he really bring you too home?'

"Yes he did. All the times you helped him before were because of us. He lost all but his right leg getting information from the gate to bring us home. When he got us that cost him his last leg. So please Winry take it easy on him. Our uncle did what he thought was best only to save us."

Thomas slumps down in his seat. Ed and Al realize they said something that they shouldn't have said. Winry turns to look at Thomas. Tears start to fill her eyes. She tightens her grip on the wrench. Thomas says in a faint and pathetic whisper "oh god, no" and is beaten senseless with hard steel.

"You stupid idiot. How dare you not tell me who you really are. What the hell is wrong with this family. Do all of you get some cheap thrill at almost losing your lives."

"Winry Stop." Ed gets smacked off the side of his.

She goes storming off into Central's Building. Al goes to check on Ed and his uncle. Roy gives a small laugh at what has happened. "I guess some things do not ever change." Ed gets up slowly and leans against the car. Thomas is out cold and has a massive welt across his whole face.

"Damn I don't remember her hitting this hard."

"Well Ed we do upset her often enough. I know she is glad we are home though. She wouldn't have hit you if she wasn't worried about you."

"Yeah I know I just wish her feelings of worry were expressed in a more gently way."

"Be lucky you could be like him and that would be a nightmare."

"Well lets go find her. We can't leave for Resembool without her. General would you take him back to the hospital to gather his things and meet us at the train station. We are leaving tonight."

"Sure Ed. But why do you have to leave so soon?"

"I want to get him fixed up. I also need maintenance on my arm and leg. We might as well go home and get healed up instead of doing it here."

"Alright Edward I can do that. I will book the train when we arrive. Don't take too long finding her. Oh and Ed this belongs to you."

He hands Ed his silver pocket watch. Over four years have gone by without him seeing that. Memories of the past come flooding back into Ed and Al's minds just by looking at it. They look up as to ask the General where he found it and he drives off. Of course not telling them everything wasn't gonna change either.

Mustang and Thomas are at the train station. The train leaves in ten minutes and so far no Ed, Al, or Winry. Thomas is rubbing his head in pain and Roy has a small grin on his face. Oddly enough the pain in his head hurts worse then his leg. He knows he is at least gonna get hit one more time when Winry finds out that her grandmother knew who he was and didn't tell her. If he knew this much pain was going to be involved he would have told Pinacco to go ahead and explain who he was. Behind the two men are Mustangs company, Armstrong and Gracia with her little girl. They finally see Winry heading to the train with Ed and Al behind her holding both of their heads.

"Well I guess she finally has calmed down a little bit." Roy says still smiling.

"She is too much of a softy to be mad at them forever. It is going to be a long train ride home for me though. I just hope I can survive it."

"Don't worry Major you will. Make sure you talk to Ed about what we discussed. I don't want him forced into anything. Take your time and heal your wounds. Try not to get anymore while your out there neither. Oh and it is no longer Major anymore. I believe Lt. Colonel Thomas sounds much better."

"I get a promotion? What about Armstrong?"

"Oh don't worry about him. The Colonel wouldn't take his unless you got yours."

"I see. Well I cant thank you enough Roy. You will have to let me know what all I am required to do once I return to Central."

Ed and Al are saying their good byes to everyone at the station. Winry grabs her bags and boards the train. The new Lt. Colonel grabs his crutches and Mustang handles his bags. Ed and Al board the train helping Thomas get in. Everyone is waving good bye as the train starts to pull away. The trip to Resembool wasn't that long as soon they would home.

Morning comes and the smell of the countryside fills the train. Alphonse is smiling non stop seeing all the familiar landmarks along the way. The Lt. Colonel is getting over his head ache as Winry just got informed of what her grandmother knew. One hit was all it took and Thomas just played dead. A very smart move. Edward is sitting beside Winry asleep against her. Normally she would have moved him but now it was ok. The train slowly stops and Ed awakes to the sound of the brakes. The four of them get off and collect their things and get into Winry's car. Normally the walk back home would take about an hour but in her car five minutes flat. She goes so fast it doesn't really give them a chance to enjoy the view of home. Slowing down just before the house they see Granny standing outside with Den by her side. The dog wakes up hearing the car and starts barking. Pinacco sees Winry driving and who her guests were.

Stopping at the house Pinacco goes to the to greet her family. Ed and Al get out before Winry does just happy to be safe on the ground and Winry gets out and starts unloading the trunk.

"Well pipsqueak I didn't think I would ever see you or Al again."

"Ha. I wouldn't talk old lady I can look down on you pretty well."

"This may be true but your friend there has a good foot over you doesn't he."

Thomas starts laughing as Ed is already getting pissed. Pinnaco goes to great him and sees he cannot get out without a little help. Saddened and happy to see him again, she asks Winry to help her bring him in. The help him into the house as Al and Ed grab the bags and go in. He is placed on the couch as the two professionals take a look at his newest injury.

"Well Thomas you know the drill. It will take a while for that leg to heal enough for your new one. I hope that this is last time we need to do this. If you loose anymore I don't know how helpful we can be."

"Don't worry Granny. My days of losing things of that nature are done. I am ready to start gaining things in life now."

"Very well. Al would you help him into the bedroom. He needs to rest."

Nighttime came quick and the four of them caught up on everything that has happened. From their adventure getting the bomb to getting caught. They never realized how amazing the past two years have been. Life certainly did not slow down no matter where they were. Pinacco has had enough catching up for one night and heads to bed. Alphonse does the same and enters the room where his uncle is still sleeping and takes the bed next to his. Ed and Winry are still up talking nonstop.

"Well Winry it is getting late. I want to go visit mom tomorrow and plus you need to look at my automail. You need your rest too. I guess I will take the couch since this house has run out of rooms."

Ed goes and takes his boots off and lays down. Winry turns off all the lights and kneels down right beside Ed. He notices she is there and turns over to be softly kissed by her.

"No Ed. This couch is uncomfortable and not for you. There is a bed for you to sleep in."

She grabs his hand and walks him up the stairs. Nerves set into Ed as now sleeping seems to be impossible. Walking into her room together was new for the both of them. She lets go of his hand and shuts the door locking it behind her. They turn in for the night.

Back in Central Roy Mustang is still working. Files are all over his desk. Sleeping wasn't a luxury he could afford to take to much advantage of. Photos of military personnel and criminals were what he was studying.

"Damn it. What do they all want? Why do I have soldiers vanishing and why is it any homeless person we have a file on is gone too?"
