It's only Monday, and this week seems promising. Even so, updates between now and break could become scarce. I wanna clear some things up. Winry was molested. She isn't sure if the guy 'got to her', so she MAY have been raped. Just clearing that up. Sorry if I confused you. I didn't want to stop with a sad chapter, so here's some comic relief! By the way…Wendy's changed their fries…they're good now…just sayin…

Ed carefully brought a thumb to Winry's eye.

"Eyelash." His voice was barely above a whisper.

Winry stared, unable to find the breath within herself to blow it away. After what seemed like an eternity, she found what little breath she could and gently blew.

"Thanks."

Winry pecked Ed on the cheek before retreating into her house, leaving him standing, blushing…

"See? My ass is talented, Winry." Ed was sitting on the handlebars of his bike with no idea whatsoever of where he was going. A week had passed since homecoming, Winry and Ed spent much of their time together.

"Ed, ride the right way!" Winry sighed.

"No! I'm perfectly fine, woman!"

"Then don't expect me to help when you fall!"

"Jeez, Winry! Stop worrying so much! I'm not gon-" As if on cue, Ed's 'talented ass' lost control and he was flung at a tree.

"Ed! Are you okay?"

"What happened to 'don't expect me to help when you fall'?" Edward mocked.

"Fine. I'll just go then… if you're sure you're okay…"

"No! I never said I was okay! I obviously am NOT okay! I was flung into this damn tree!"

"I meant, is anything broken?"

"Actually, my-"

"Other than your pride, Ed."

"I think I broke my wrist, thanks for letting me finish!" Edward yelled.

"Fine. Let me see."

"I dunno if it's broken, but it hurts like hell."

Winry's eyebrows furrowed together as she examined Edward's mangled wrist.

"It's broken, alright. Let me call Al, he can come get us."

"You don't need to call Al! I can ride my bike perfectly well with my automail arm!"

"Oh, like you could ride 'perfectly well with your talented ass'? And with your automail that jams up all the time? You forget; my parents were doctors. Riding in that condition, especially with that arm, will increase your chances of getting hurt even more."

Before the now prideless (I made that up…) Edward could argue, Winry took out her cell phone and quickly dialed the younger Elric's number.

"Al? Can you come pick us up? Ed, being reckless, broke his wrist. We're at 13th."

"Ed was riding with his so called 'talented ass' again, wasn't he?"

"So he's done it before?"Winry glared at Edward, who was finding his misshapen wrist to be funny.

"What? Last time I only sprained my ankle!"

Sooner than it seemed, Edward's 18th birthday had come. He was apprehensive when Winry told him that she had a surprise for him; curious when she blindfolded him.

"Are we in your basement? Smells like oil."

"Good job, Ed! I'll be sure to give you a sucker when you're done!" Winry said sarcastically.

"Can I at least take this damned blindfold off yet?" Edward asked, pointing at the black bandana covering his eyes.

"No. Now strip down to your boxers."

"What?"

"You heard me, Ed. Strip down to your boxers!"

Ed smirked and obeyed.

"So will I like my present?"

"Yes."

"So…how big is it?"

"Pretty big."

"Is it nice?"

"You sure as hell better think so." Winry said.

"Come on! I suck with patience! Just let me peek!"

"Edward, if you're thinking what I think you are, I'll-"

"G-Granny? How long have you been there?" Ed asked weakly.

"The whole time."

"Damn it! I forgot my wrench, be right back!" Winry said, running back up the creaky steps.

"Edward…what do you plan on doing with your life?"

"Graduate, go to college, graduate again, make sure I have steady career; probably in some sort of chemistry. Maybe a doctor. Then, uhm, m-marry Winry."

"Good, good." Pinako said. "You know how Winry feels about you, don't you?"

"Yeah. And I feel the same way."

Pinako shook her head.

"Ever since Urey and Sara's deaths, Winry's been depressed. Never thought I'd see her truly smile again."

"Ready, Ed?" Winry returned, lethal weapon in hand.

"You got your wrench…right?"

"Yeah, why?"

"You don't plan on hitting me, do you?"

"Not unless you squirm. Now sit."

Edward gulped and obeyed.

"Ready, Granny?"

"You didn't plan a party, did you I hate surprises! Especially when I'm in my boxers! Unless…you know, but that's different!"

Edward yelped as his automail arm and leg were removed.

"Oh, cutting off my means of escape, huh? Clever! But I can still-"

Edward screamed as the nerves connected to his body, sending shockwaves.

"That hurt like hell? What do you think you're doing?" Edward yelped. With his flesh hand, he removed his blindfold. He stared in awe at the shiny new arm and leg attached to his body.

"What's this?"

"Your birthday present."

"This is amazing! I can actually move! I haven't seen any automail like this…"

"Only kind in existence. Winry designed it herself and made it from scratch." Pinako said, taking a long draw from her pipe as the climbed up the stairs.

"R-really?" For me?"

Winry nodded sheepishly.

"I reinforced it with carbon. I know how rough you get."

"How long?"

"Oh, I don't know… Since I met you in the coffee shop. Since you said you went to Central, I didn't think there'd be any trouble finding you. I couldn't help it; your old automail gave me a headache with the condition it was in."

"Damn you're good. You and Granny have anything planned for tonight?"

Winry shook her head.

"Good. You're coming to meet Teacher."

WOOHOO! Long chapter in! Hope I made you laugh; either with Ed's 'talented ass' or the basement-surprise thing. No? Not much of a surprise, my sense of humor's bad. Not as bad as my religion teacher's…but oh well. So, as always, review! You're opinions are loved, even if you totally hate it! I LOVE CC! Haven't gotten any on this as far as I know, so I guess that's good, but still! From here… not sure… I want to make it into ten chapters, so a couple more things and I'll be good. I feel like between this and Hurt and Compassion (Check it out if you haven't already...) I'm making Winry weak. I'm not doing this on purpose; she's one of my top three favorite characters! Second to Hawkeye, of course. Again, if I wasn't clear, Roy and Riza ARE together, and I plan on adding more of their moments. I'm planning on adding some Havxbecca, but I may not have enough time… Anyway, since I'm paranoid on giving out my facebook, I made a page. I'll update that more than I'll update this, so here's link!
