By the end of the movie Ed and Roy were bawling like little children. They had apparently been very touched by the movie we had just watched.
I stretched my arms above my head and yawned as I stretched my body. I winced as I leaned to the left and feeling the swelling of my abdomen around my rib cage from the beating I had earned last night before Ed had saved me.
"Let's play some team games!" May chirped as she ran down a hall and reappeared carrying 12 giant board game boxes.
I heard Al chuckle and watched as he went over to her and took the load off her arms and carried it over to the coffee table.
"Al and I can be a team, Roy and Riza can be one, and then Ed and Winry can be a team!" She smiled as she grabbed the first box off the stack which just happened to be Scrabble.
There was a muddled murmur of agreements from everyone and we all sat around the board on the floor.
- 30 minutes later -
"We win!" May cheered as she counted up the final points of the game.
"I don't think it's fair that you had Al on your team. He knows basically every word in the dictionary!" Roy complained as he put the lid on the game and slid it across the carpet, and out of the way.
"Oh well…next game!" May giggled as she grabbed the next box.
"Oh my god! I love Scattegories!" (Is that how you spell it? My parents packed away the game so I don't have it handy to find out if that's how you spell it) I squealed as she pulled out all of the parts, giving everyone a stack of cards, a pencil, and the notebook it came with.
Everyone looked at me like I was crazy and I just looked right back at them confused. "What?"
- 30 minutes later -
"Yes!" Ed cheered as May announced that he and I had won the Scattegories round. I giggled and smiled as I stacked the game on top of the Scrabble box.
I grabbed the next box and smiled realizing it was Trivial Pursuit. This ought to be fun playing with Roy and Ed.
- 7 hours later - (AN: yeah I know I skipped some time- I didn't feel like doing all twelve games)
I yawned exhausted thankful we finished the last game of the pile. That was pretty fun, I thought.
I though back to the games and marked who won what:
Round 1: Scrabble- Al and May
Round 2: Scattegories- Ed and I
Round 3: Trivial Pursuit- Ed and I
Round 4: Pictionary- Roy and Riza
Round 5: Sorry- Roy and Riza
Round 6: Clue- Al and May
Round 7: Boggle- Al and May
Round 8: Battleship- Ed and I
Round 9: Hangman- Roy and Riza
Round 10: Outburst- Ed and I
Round 11: Jeopardy- Al and May
Round 12: Apples to Apples- Roy and Riza
We ended up tying so we had to play do a 13th round: Catch Phrase. It ended up getting extremely intense and the clicker thing ended up being tossed against the wall causing it to break because Roy hadn't been watching where he was throwing it and hit the wall instead of going to Al.
So by default, Ed and I won considering we were the furthest on the board when the clicker thing had been broken.
"That was a lot of fun!" I said as I helped stack the games and carry them back to where May had taken them from. "We should do it again sometime."
"Don't worry! We definitely will!" May laughed as she closed the cabinet's after we put the games back in their proper place.
"Good!"
As we opened the door back to the hallway all the lights shut off and things became eerily silent.
I felt a hand grab my wrist. My eyes widened and I screamed loudly but was soon cut off by another hand covering my mouth.
I felt rope being tied around both of my wrists behind my back and I squirmed violently trying to get out of the person's grip.
I kicked backwards and made connection with the person's groin. As soon as their hold on me was released I screamed at the top of my lungs, "ED!"
"Winry!" I heard a distant voice yell in response followed by frantic running feat.
I began slowly walking towards where his voice was coming from but stopped by a short scream. "May!" I had completely forgotten that she was with me as soon as I was attacked.
"Get your hands off of me you filthy slim bag!" She yelled again closer now.
I swung my foot out and made connection with a body. "May? Are you okay? Please tell me I didn't just kick you!" I whispered frantically.
I was quickly enveloped by the small girl. "Winry, you saved me!" She sobbed loudly her form wracking violently.
"Shh, it's going to be ok. I lulled her rubbing her back as best as I could with the ropes still wrapped tightly around my wrists.
"Winry, May, are you in here?" Ed called out from the doorway.
"Yes! But be careful, there are some unconscious bodies on the floor, well either that or in too much pain to do anything." I said.
I heard him fast approaching and was quickly enveloped in his arms. "Al is fixing the lights so they should be on soon." He said helping me to me feet before leaning down to pick May up, cradling her softly as she sobbed violently. "Reach into my back pocket and grab the flashlight for me please, Winry?"
I did as he asked but didn't find it the first time and ending up patting his butt. I blushed and reached for the second pocket coming in contact with the flashlight. I awkwardly retracted it from his pocket and lifted my hands up behind my back to give it to him.
"Thanks." He said. He clicked it on and pointed it towards the doorway, leading us out.
We quickly made it back to the family room and as we did so the light flickered back to life. Roy, Riza, and Ed turned to look at me and gasped, their eyes widening in horror.
