Hello peoples, it is I, Alexandria, no I'm not some random third person on this account, Alex is short for Alexandria. Review as always. Go read Tanu's stuff too, as of when I'm writing this it's the day before chapter two is posted, but I'm sure by then shes got to have something up by then... Off topic I'm thinking I might team up with her to write a PJO fanfic, I already talked to her about it so keep your eyes peeled (That would hurt.) for that. I don't own PJO or FMA, but I did hatch another plan to make it happen. Let's just say it involves glue, a can of soda, three pennies, seven hamsters, and a blender.

Oh, and black blood of the red rose, I know I said I'd apply all those corrections, but I had already finished this chapter and I'm lazy, I'll be sure too do those in chapter four though. Thanks for pointing them out.

Winry P.O.V.

The sky darkened and thunder roared. Chiron looked upset "Looks like it's going to rain." I knew he was hiding something, you could hear it in his voice. Ed sighed "Let's hope not." We walked in silence as we made our way to the mess hall, the only sound was the noise of Chiron's steps. We walked into the mess hall and I instantly fell in love. One of the tables was full of kids who had oil and grease all over their clothes. There were random tools and scraps around the table and each kid was working on something. I walked over to their table and Chiron followed me over, clearly interested in what I was doing. Ed didn't seem to even notice, he was too wrapped up in whatever he was thinking, whatever it was, it didn't look pleasant.

I got to their table and pushed Ed in at the end and sat down right next to him. The girl who was sitting next to me looked at us, confused. "I haven't seen you around before, are you new?" Chiron answered before I did "Yes, they got here today. Winry decided to come over here for some reason." I nodded, I was barely listening, I was too distracted with all the tools around me. I picked up a wrench from the table. "Woah, I haven't seen this before, what is it?" The kid started laughing. "It's a wrench." Ed started laughing with the kid. "Who are you and what have you done with Winry?" He said. I tightened my grip on the wrench and hit him over the head with it. He stopped laughing. "Never mind, definitely Winry."

I looked back at the kid. "I know what a wrench is, I was actually referring to what model. She shrugged "We made them all ourselves." She seemed intreguied by my interest in the wrench. "I'm Nyssa, what's your name?" "Winry." I answered. "Winry, have you ever used a wrench?" I smiled. "Lots." I put my hand on Ed's shoulder. "I'm this idiot's mechanic." Nyssa seemed confused by that. "Mechanic?" I nodded "Yeah, I make automail."

Someone else behind us asked the next question. "What's automail?" I turned around. It was Leo. "Oh, so now your stalking me are you?" Ed asked. Leo laughed "More like the other way around, what are you doing at my table?" "Would died and made you captain, it's not your table, it's just table." Leo started laughing, so did the other campers at the table, who I had only realized now had been listening the whole time. "What's so funny?" I asked. "No one died to make me leader," He pointed to a kid at the middle of the table. "Jake resigned and handed the position over to me. This table being my cabin's table and myself being the cabin's leader, is my table." Ed's grin disappeared, he had been beaten.

Leo sat down across from me. "So, what is this mysterious automail?" He asked. Ed answered "Hell." Leo looked confused. "Was that a joke?" "No." Ed replied. I started blushing, feeling very out of place, if they were all mechanics shouldn't they know? "Well Ed here, as you can see, is short a few limbs. Automail is a kind metallic limb put in place of missing ones." I stopped there, feeling like I wasn't making any sense.

All the kids at the table were staring at me, wanting more. "Can you move it?" Nyssa asked. "Yes, it's directly connected to the user's nerves." Ed winced. "Don't even mention that, I had nearly forgotten." I knew he was joking, he couldn't ever forget that. Leo looked at Ed "Is it that bad?" He nodded. "The surgery is horrible, the rehab is almost as bad."

"How long does rehab take. I answered this one. "Normally around three years, but Ed had to be an over-achiever and do it in one." He looked at me. "I had things to do." "It wouldn't have hurt as much." "It didn't hurt that much." "You were collapsed on the ground spitting up blood, Ed!" "I had things to do." he repeated. "Yeah, because joining the military was just that important." "I did it for Al, and look where he is now."

We both fell silent at that comment. I couldn't help myself. I practically, pounced on him and gave him a hug... for five minutes. My eyes were starting to water and I pulled away. "Thank you for bringing Al back." Ed shook his head. "He was never gone, he was just different." No one was talking anymore. It was silent, and if it was for any longer I'd probably start crying all over again.

"So, I have some automail to make, no tools, no materials, no designs, and a bunch of mechanics who need to know how to make it." I said. Leo started grinning and said. "Well, what are we waiting for?" Chiron had seemed to disappear earlier, and it scared me when he began talking again. "But first, you need to eat." Ed suddenly looked up, a fire in his eyes. "I agree with that statement." I sighed. "Fine, but after we eat your coming with me." He nodded. "The sooner I can walk the better."

To-dah! Finally, done with chapter three. *Fist bump* This chapter is dedicated to lostgamer64 for being my first review and black blood of the red rose for being my second. Quick announcement. So i said I would upload every other day, and that still stands, but if an upload day ever falls on a Saturday the chapter wont go up until the next upload day, Monday. This is so I have more time to write more chapters and some other one-shot ideas I had for you guys. Once again, this was written by Alex.
