I loved your guy's reviews. You guys can brighten my day any...well DAY!

This chapter is short...like Ed...JUST KIDDING! DON'T KILL ME ED! YOU'RE THE TALLEST MAN EVER IN MY EYES! IN FACT YOU'RE TALLER THAN ME! HEH-HEH, EXCEPT KIDS THINK I'M TALLER WHEN THEY SEE ME AND SAY 'YOU LOOKED LIKE YOU WERE TALL' WHILE PEOPLE JUST SAY TO YOU 'KID' 'RUNT' 'PIP-'...

(I'm running away from Ed if you're wondering.)

Enjoy!


Ed's POV-

The whole time, me and Al were talking. The door opened, making the bells chime. Me and Al looked over, seeing Winry. Al waved her over, much to my dislike. A bit...

"Hi guys! You two come here often?" she asked sitting down in front of me.

"We do now," Al said. "What about you?"

"Well, I come here often, but I stopped when I met Arthur," she said dreamily.

Ugh! Him!

"Winry-chan!" Hannah said coming over. "You're back!"

"Yeah, where's Hope? She always helps me when she's here and this is her main shift," Winry asked.

She knows Hope?

"She stepped out sometime ago. She'll be here for the night shift," Hannah said.

"Oh, just get me some water and fries then," Winry said.

Hannah nodded and left.

"You know Hope?" I asked, raising a brow.

"Yeah, when I told her that I worked with automail, I saw something sparkle in her eyes for a brief moment before she became all sad. This happened when I first met her. We would talk about our lives now and the weather."

"Oh," I said.

"You two know her?" she asked.

"The Führer introduced us," Al said.

"Oh, he does that now? I've seen him here before a lot. He annoys the heck out of Hope sometimes. I think he means to though," she said.


Hope's POV-

The man stood in front of me, the wind pushing my hair to the side.

After awhile of nothing but the cries of joy and laughter from kids, the man reached out, pulling me into a hug.

"You look so different!" he exclaimed.

Huh?

"I don't feel comfortable with a stranger hugging me," I said.

"I'm not a stranger though, I'm know quite well by you," he said letting me go.

"Nu-uh," I said.

The man then took off his shades and hat. Shaking his hair to give his hair more bounce.

The thing that got me thinking was his eyes. His emerald green eyes. Familiarity stuck me as a little boy's face popped into my head, followed by some painful memories and feelings.

"A-Arthur," I choked out.

"I was sent out to find you. Do you know how long it's been?"

I stepped back.

"Leave and tell no one where I am," I said.

"Why?"

"Because I'm not going back."

"Well neither am I."

"How did you even know where I worked?"

"My girlfriend was going to a cafe and she told me about the people there. She mentioned your name. I'm not leaving without you."

"You have a girlfriend?" I asked, raising a brow.

"Shut up," he said grabbing my wrist, pulling me along.

"If I do somehow go with you, won't your girlfriend be upset about you leaving?"

"As long as I bring you back, I have nothing to worry about," he said.

I dug my heels into the ground.

"I'm not going with you," I said sternly, slapping his hand away, leaving. I walked away before my tears could start.

"I'm not going to give up!" he yelled.

I never said you would.

When I made sure that he was out of sight, I started into a sprint to my place. I opened my door, slamming it closed as I got inside, running into my bedroom, falling onto the bed, crying.

My heart ached.

Why did he have to come? Why?


Okay, just to make things clear, that was Winry's boyfriend, if no one remembers. Gasps! Shocking!
