I awoke to the sound of giggling, and clicking. I yawned, and started to get up, when I felt something stop me. I flickered open my eyes slowly to see Ed's metal arm wrapped tight around my waist. I looked up to find Kitty and Al giggling at the view, and taking pictures for blackmail. Apparently they hadn't noticed that I was awake, and kept taking them. I heard the camera make a beeping noise, signaling that it was full.

"Darn, I wanted to get a few more in! Aw well, let's go empty them on the computer so we can take more!" Kitty exclaimed. Al nodded, and they both ran out of the room. I quickly took Ed's arm off of me, and shook him. He growled in protest, which made me giggle. He must have heard it, and started stirring from his restful sleep.

When he was awake enough, I told him what had happened, which really pissed him off. He was about to go kill them when I grabbed his arm.

"Wait!" I whispered," I have an idea." He gave me a curious look, and then bent down so he could listen. As I explained the plan, an evil smirk replaced his frown.

I heard the door re-open as I laid in repose, then footsteps approach the bed.

"Where's Ed?" asked Kitty in a sad tone. I hid my smile and mentally giggled to myself. I peeked open my eye slightly, to see Ed sneaking up on the two of them from behind.

"Looking for something?" Ed whispered in an eerie voice, causing Kitty to skyrocket. I laughed hysterically as I watched Ed chase after Kitty and poor Al in circles at the foot of my bed. I saw the camera at the foot of my bed, so I grabbed it, and snapped a picture of them. It came out great, even though they were running. Ed was behind the two of them, with an angry face, and his arms outstretched.

Kitty was running ahead in fright with her arms flailing, and not looking back. Al was following behind Kitty, arms outstretched, and looking back at Ed in panic. 'Well, I guess siblings inherit some things from one another!' I thought with a smile, as I looked at the boys with the same hand gestures. I quietly snuck out of the room to go make some breakfast, when I heard a knock come from my door. I gave it a peculiar look, and walked over. I opened the door slightly to see an elderly woman with cream colored hair, wearing a shawl over her frail shoulders.

"Um, hello. Are you Aminta Wilks?" she asked politely, looking quite nervous.

"Yes I am, do you need something ma'am?" I replied with a polite smile. Her eyes widened, and she seemed to be trying to hold back tears.

"You look just like your mother," she whispered more to herself than me. My eyes widened at this comment, "H-How do you know my mother?" She smiled a broad and proud smile," Because she's my daughter."

I woke up to have Winry looking at me with a worried expression. I tried to sit up, but a large pain in my head made me instantly groan in pain.

"What happened?" I asked. I felt a warm, yet wrinkled hand rest upon my forehead.

"You passed out dear, after I told you about me being your grandmother," came a sweet voice. I looked up to see the woman at the door earlier. I stood up despite the pain, and walked to the other side of the couch. I placed my hands gently onto her fragile shoulders, giving her a serious look.

"Miss, don't play with my emotions, I want to know. Are you telling the truth?" I asked with that serious look still on my features. She smiled, then nodded," I swear upon the stars of our ancestors in the milky path." After she said those words, a hidden memory came out of it's hiding place, and into my vision.

Flashback

An eight-year old me was running towards a middle-aged woman, with a sweet smile on her face.

"Nana!" I squealed as I jumped into her lap. She smiled then kissed my forehead, "How's my favorite granddaughter, huh?" she tickled my soft tummy, making me giggle with delight. She smiled then started singing me an old lullaby that my family had sang to each other for generations. I smiled sweetly while laying my head on her chest. When she finished, I look up at her.

"Nana? Can I ask you something?" I asked as I sat there. She started stroking my hair and replied, "Anything my little mint."

"Will you stay with me, at least, until I get married and have a family of my own?" I asked, smiling at my nickname. She laughed her sweet laugh.

"My dear mint, I promise, that I will stay with you as long as I can," she replied. I looked at her with my serious face, which wasn't very serious," Do you promise upon the stars of our ancestors in the milky path?" She laughed at this, but nodded her head. I smiled back, and hugged her.

"Thank you Nana! I love you!" I said. She then smiled," And I you, my sweet mint."

End Flashback

I felt tears spring to my eyes as I looked at the woman I had loved so very much in front of me. I looked at her for another second, then ran to her.

"Nana!" I yelled, and sobbed on her shoulder in happiness. She wrapped her small arms around me, and started to rub my back, cooing soothing words into my ear. I continued sobbing, happy to have a related family member back in my life. I finally pulled away, and let her wipe away the remaining tears.

"You've grown so much my dear mint, how long has it been?" she asked while looking at me up and down," Oh my! It must have been long, you've already hit puberty!"

"Nana!" I said with my face growing warm.

"Oh right, I'm sorry my mint, I didn't mean to embarrass you in front of these two handsome young men, now which one is your boyfriend dear?" she asked.

"Nana!" I repeated in embarrassment, "Nei-" I was interrupted by a cold hand landing on my shoulder.

"I am ma'am," Ed said with a kind smile. I blushed, and looked back to see Nana smiling in approval.

"Well, since you are my granddaughter's man, how about you tell me your name?" she asked. I smiled then said," This is Ed, he's seventeen, and you know what's really weird? We have the same birthday!" Ed pulled me closer. She smiled, then nodded," So, who are your other friends?" I smiled, then pointed to Kitty," This is my best friend Bianca, but everybody calls her Kitty!"

Next I pointed to Al," This is Ed's younger brother Alphonse, but we call him Al." I finally turned to Winry," And this is," I paused, then smiled," My other best friend Winry, she's a mechanic." She looked at me in shock, then smiled back.

"It's nice to meet you Mrs. Wilks," Al said, extending his hand. Nana laughed, and said what she would say to anybody who would call her that," That's my mother's name, please, call me Ginger." Al laughed, and then shook her hand.

"C'mon Ginger! Let's give you a tour!" Kitty exclaimed happily while grabbing her hand. She called in her kitten, then started showing her everything. I giggled at this, then turned to Ed. He smiled and cupped my face in his hand.

"Why?" I asked as I looked into his golden eyes. He smiled, "Because I've been trying to ask you, but never got the courage to." I blushed, then smiled, "Well, I'm glad you did, Ed, I really like you too." He blushed, then slowly leaned towards my lips. I blushed as well, then leaned closer to his.

As our lips were about to touch, Kitty came in screaming my name, and tackled me to the ground. I sighed, then pushed her off of me. 'Gee, thanks Kitty. Way to come in at the right time,' I thought as I brushed myself off, and helped Kitty up. When I did, she jumped right behind me, whispering something about hiding from Al. I sighed, and looked at Ed apologetically.

He just smiled, and nodded in forgiveness. I heard the familiar clanking of Al as he entered the living room with Winry by his side. Al saw the figure of Kitty, then sighed. He walked over, and picked her up from her spot. She blushed, and then looked at him as he walked into the kitchen.

I cocked an eyebrow, then turned to Winry for an explanation. She gave me a look of excitement, "Okay, Al just told Kitty, that..."
