Winry jumped in shock when a scream rang through the house, followed closely by a loud thump. "Leo? Are you alright?" She called up, worry evident on her face as she looked at the bathroom door. A shuffling was heard and the door creaked open.

Her eyes widened even more when a head with dripping wet hair poked out. "I'm fine, I was just shocked when I opened my eye and the light blinded me. And then I bumped my head." Though the girl was grinning, a thin line of blood was coming from a cut on her eyebrow.

Winry frowned and put a hand to her face, "Leo, you do realize you're bleeding right?" She watched as Leo's eye widened and the girl touched her eyebrow. "Ow! I didn't think I hit the edge that hard." The young girl said, wiping the blood away from her face. Winry sighed and motioned for Leo to come to her.

When the door opened all the way she realized that the shuffling sounds she had heard before was Leo hurriedly pulling on the clothes she was given. Though the white shirt was wadded up in her hand, she was wearing the black tank and shorts. "I don't wear white…" She stated seeing Winry's stares.

"Oh, I guess I can find you a black t-shirt, but it won't be mine. I don't usually were black clothes outside the top I wear while fixing automail." Winry said motioning for Leo to come over. Leo smiled and padded over to the blonde girl.

"Honestly, why do I need to be stuck with people that don't know the concept of asking for help?" Winry muttered as she patched up Leo's eyebrow. Said girl looked up and watched Winry, "Hey Winry?" She asked. Winry looked over at her, "Yes?" Leo was looking at the photo on the dresser.

"Are these your parents?" She asked, holding it up to show Winry. It was a old photo with two adults and a small girl. They were all smiling and looking at the camera happily. Winry smiled sadly, "Yeah, but they died a couple of years ago. It's been just me and Granny since then. But a friend of mine told me that I shouldn't cry for them, but be happy instead."

Leo looked at her then nodded, "Your friend is very smart. Wish I had a friend like that. No one even noticed when my parents-", Winry didn't get to hear the end of the sentence as Granny Pinako called from the front door. "Winry, we have some 'Guests of Honor'." She perked and ran out the door.


Leo stared after the blonde as she literally left a trail of smoke. She sighed as the weight fell back onto her shoulders, "I was almost able to tell someone…" She groaned and touched her forehead. It really hurt now that Winry had cleaned the cut. 'At least it didn't heal over immediately. That means there is some hope for me.' She thought as she peeked her head out the door.

She walked barefoot down the hallway, looking around curiously. She jumped in shock as a loud 'THUMP!' was heard, followed by another thump. 'So they're here? Guess that saves the wondering of when was I dropped into the storyline.' She thought with a small smile.

She chuckled when she heard Winry yell, "HEY ED! I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU TO CALL BEFORE COMING IN FOR A CHECK UP!" Then she laughed a little louder when a male voice answered, "WINRY, YOU JACKASS! ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL ME?!" Leo walked up behind Winry as she laughed, "Welcome home!" Winry turned to see Leo standing in the doorway.

"Oh, you don't know about the brothers!" She exclaimed, and Leo tilted her head, in fake confusion. "Come on, let's go meet them!" Winry said grabbing Leo's arm and dragging her down the stairs with her.


Ed looked up as Winry came into the room. His eyes widened when he noticed the person being dragged by Winry. "So our other guest is finally awake huh?" He heard Pinako say. Said person rubbed her arm from where Winry had been gripping and pouted.

"You didn't have to grip that hard you know." She said, bottom lip sticking out. Winry looked at her and chuckled self-consciously. "Sorry about that, working with automail makes my arm muscles stronger." The red head nodded and turned towards the trio watching.

"Oh! Ed, this is Leo!" Winry said, smiling and gesturing to the redhead. Leo looked at him and he saw a flicker of emotion flash through her eye. But before he could identify which emotion, it was gone. He inwardly shook it off and looked over the girl before him.

Her hair was a short/shaggy dark black-red. One eye was red-brown, like clay, and the other was covered with a white patch and a butterfly stitch on her eyebrow. She was only a few inches shorter than Winry, thus taller than him. Ed's eye twitched in annoyance, 'Damn tall people.' The girl, Leo looked at him with just as much annoyance.

"Who's the shorty?" She asked a ghost of a smirk on her face. The smirk turned to shock as Ed shouted, "WHO ARE YOU CALLING A SHORTY!" Leo gasped and then started laughing. "Oh, my God! That is so freaking hilarious. Do you come up with those on the fly, or do you have them stored in you for when people call you short?" She asked, holding her stomach and clutching the side of the doorframe.

Ed looked at her in astonishment, not only wasn't she scared, she was also laughing. Winry was looking at her in shock with a face that showed she was forcing herself not the laugh. And then she caught site of Ed's missing arm.

"…Ed," Ed felt sweat break out on his forehead at her evil eyes, "Where is your arm?" He chuckled lightly and motioned for Armstrong to set Al down and pulled out a bag from the box Al was in. He handed it over to Winry.

Upon opening it Winry wailed and Ed sat down drinking his coffee, "It got a little busted up." He said looking away. Winry turned on him, brandishing her wrench, "'Busted up'! Wait one minute! Just how were you using the automail that I painstakingly made?!" Ed ignored her and said, "Yep, totally smashed to little pieces."

Winry growled and smashed her wrench into Ed's head. Ed narrowed his eyes and continued drinking, glancing over at the red-head that was chuckling at him. "Why are you laughing?" He asked. She looked at him with bright eyes, "You have a wrench sticking out of your head, blood running down your face and yet you're still drinking your coffee."

"Hmm, its good coffee." Was the only thing he said. She nodded, "Fair enough."


Winry looked at Al as Leo and Ed talked, "So just what happened? Al's busted up too? Just what on earth were you two idiots doing?" She asked glaring at Al's box, "Um, uh, nothing?" Al said.

"Oh my gosh! A suit of armor that talks! That's so cool!" Leo gushed rushing over, knocking Ed over in the process. "Hey! Watch it!" She turned and stuck her tongue out at him, "Make me short stuff!" Ed growled and started to get up.

"Don't hurt her Brother. She's just joking, I think?" Al said looking at the red-head that was staring at him with wide eyes. Usually people stayed away because of how scary-looking he was, but this girl looked genuinely curious. "You're Al right?" She asked, poking the box. "Yes ma'am." He answered and Leo's face fell, "Please don't call me 'ma'am'. I'm not old enough for that yet." She said looking at him seriously.

"Sorry, um, Leo right?" Leo nodded and grinned, "Now that we know each other's names, it's nice to meetcha Al!" She looked back at Ed and the others, who were talking about Ed's leg and arm.


"Your leg will have to be adjusted as well. Along with starting from scratch with the arm..." Ed looked down at Pinako, "You can have it down in a week right?" Pinako looked at the ceiling in thought, then back at Ed with a smirk, "Don't underestimate me Pipsqueak, give us three days."

She unhooked his leg and placed on a spare, "Just make do with this spare until we're done." Ed nodded and winced when the leg was connected. He stood up and stumbled, "Not used to walking on this leg." He grumbled, noticing Leo sitting next to Al and having a conversation.

"After carving, there's assembling, adjusting, connecting and finishing. This is going to take three all-nighters." Ed looked at Winry guiltily, "Sorry for asking so much of you." Winry turned to him with a smile, "You want to get to Central as soon as possible, right? So shouldn't I do as much as I can?" Ed sighed in relief, "Plus, in exchange I'll be getting oodles of cash from you, and you can take Leo off my hands for the next three days." She said, smiling and hitting Ed's shoulder.

"Ack!" Ed cried out, falling over from the force and different leg. Winry looked at him in shock and apologized. "Wait, why do I have to take care of her? Why can't she just go home?" He turned when he heard a gasp and saw Leo sitting next to Al, her eye shadowed by her hair.

He watched as she stood up and walked to the door, "I'm gonna go for a walk Winry." She mumbled as she walked out. Ed looked at Winry confusion showing in his eyes. "Ed, you idiot!" She whacked him with her wrench again, "She can't go home! She doesn't even know how she got here in the first place. Granny and I found her outside, bleeding from her eye!" Winry suddenly stopped her rant as her eyes went unfocused, and then she stated quietly, "I also found her in the middle of a dark purple-red, transmutation thing."

Ed choked on the coffee he had just sipped and looked up at the blonde, "W-what? You found her in the middle of a transmutation? Was there a circle? Little black hands? Hell, even a Gate?" He asked staring at her. Winry shook her head, "There was only a bright flash and then the light was gone and she was lying unconscious on the ground."

Ed looked at the door that Leo had gone through and narrowed his eyes, 'Has she seen it?' He wondered and then he turned to Winry, "I can't believe I'm saying this, but fine I'll watch her until you're done with my automail." He muttered, rolling his eyes when Winry exclaimed, "Thanks Edward!" And hugged him, then she disappeared upstairs to her room.

Blushing, Ed looked away and glared at the laughing Alphonse.


Leo sat on the ground in front of a tree with her legs pulled up to her chest. She had her chin on the top of her knees and she was starring at the ground. She sighed and started to stand back up, "So this is where you were?" She yelped and fell back over in shock.

She turned to glare at the gold-haired boy that was chuckling. "What do you want?" She growled, turning away from him and looking at the sky. "Winry told me to look after you; I'm just doing my job." She looked at him with cold eyes. "'You're just doing your job'? Swell, you've been near me for five minutes and you've already pissed me off. Please go away." She stated in a monotone voice. Ed looked a little shocked and then his eyes hardened into a glare.

"Well since you are already mad at me, then it can't hurt to ask you if you've seen it." He said, looking at her from the corner of his eyes. He watched as her visible eye widened slightly. 'Got her.' His eyes narrowed and he fully expected her to make something up.

"Yes, I've seen the Truth." He looked at her in shock as she continued, "I didn't see what was behind that Gate though…" She lied, gritting her teeth as her eye throbbed from the thought of the white figure. She looked up to see Ed staring at her. "So you didn't perform Human Transmutation." She barely heard his mumble.

"The funny thing is, I was just sitting in my living room and suddenly I'm in a solid white place with no idea how I got there and why I was there in the first place." Leo was surprised at how easily she could lie to the golden-eyed boy. "Next thing I know, I'm waking up in a guestroom, with a bandage on my eye."

Leo sighed and looked at Ed, who in turn looked shocked. "So he didn't take anything from you." Leo mentally cursed and hesitated for a minute, "Ah, that… Well I have a picture of me," She started, pulling out the picture of her and the two others. "But unfortunately I can't remember who the others in the picture are." It was a half lie, she could remember the black-haired woman was her mom but when she looked at the red-haired man in the photo, the white flashes in her mind started and she couldn't remember who he was.

Ed looked at the picture in her hand. It was a happy scene, although the expression on Leo's face wasn't happy. It was strange; she was frowning while both of the others in the picture were grinning. "So you don't know who these people are?" He looked up at her. She rolled her eyes at him, "Obviously one of them is me… the others? No, I don't." She took the picture back and slid it back in the pocket of her shorts.

"You do realize you are wearing an old pair of my shorts, right?" Ed said, breaking the tension. "What! Um, uh, Winry gave them to me to wear while she washing the clothes! Sorry, I'm… sorry." She bowed her head, her face flaming in embarrassment. Ed stared at her for a second and burst out laughing, she looked up and glared at him, "What's so funny!?" She demanded, hands on her hips.

"Nothing, just the fact that you are a normal girl." She narrowed her eyes, "What's that supposed to mean?" She said, suspiciously. He looked over at her, "I originally thought you had no emotion, but you just proved me wrong." Leo glared at him then laughed, "Says the one who can't share his feelings for a girl he's known forever." She lifted an eyebrow as his face grew red.

"Shut up, do not!" He exclaimed, face burning with anger and mortification. Leo smiled, "Mm-hm. Den~ial! That's the first step to admitting it!" She grinned and dodged his fist, running back into the house, "Bye Pipsqueak! I'm going to talk to your brother! He's more mature than you!"

"WHO ARE YOU CALLING SO SMALL ANTS MAKE FUN OF HIM!" Ed yelled after her.


Al sat near the door with a white cloth hiding his torn out side, deep in thought. He looked up when the door opened and saw the now familiar red-head. "Hi Al!" She said, waving at him. She tilted her head when she noticed he wasn't in his box.

"Hello Leo. Did Brother find you?" He asked, noticing her flushed cheeks. Leo nodded and grinned, "I called him a 'pipsqueak' and then he got mad, so I ran!" She said, grin never faltering. If Al had a human body he would have sweat dropped. 'What did Brother do to her? Before she was almost unemotional, now she's actually acting her… age?' His mind wandered a little.

"-l, Al! Alphonse Elric! Hello~!" He was snapped out of it by Leo waving her hand in front of his face. He jumped slightly and then focused on the apparently hyper dark-ginger. "Yes, Leo?" He asked, since she was apparently trying to get his attention. She gave him a small smile and held up a picture. The red globes that were his eyes widened slightly, it was the one of him, Ed and Winry.

"Who's the other kid in the picture? I know that Ed is the scowling goldilocks, and that Winry is the grinning blonde, is the other one you?" She looked at him with her one eye filled with curiosity. Al nodded and took the picture from her, fingering it gently. "Yes, that's me." He muttered, staring at the old picture, "It was taken a few years ago, before our mom died."

Leo breathed in sharply, "Your mom is dead?" She asked hesitantly and Al looked up her and nodded. Leo gave him a sad smile, "At least you have fond memories form when she was alive. Me, I don't even remember what my mom and dad look like." She sighed and sat down next to him. Al looked down at her.

"Why don't you remember them?" Al asked, confused. Leo laughed softly, "Because of an accident that happened in my past." Al didn't notice the lie, even though it was the same one he and his older brother used. He accepted it and watched the light die down in the room as the sun sank.

"I've never seen the sun actually sink like that." He heard her murmur, albeit sleepily. "Did you live in the city before this?" He asked, curiously. "Yeah, in the city you'd never see the sunset. You wouldn't even get to see the stars. The city lights were too bright for the stars to shine through." She said eyes on the setting sun, "It's so different here. It's so; I don't know how to put it…" She trailed off.

"Peaceful?" Al concluded for her. "Yeah, peaceful, and beautiful. I hope it never changes form this." He looked down at her and saw the tear trailing down her cheek. "Are you ok?" He asked. She tensed then relaxed, "I will be. Don't worry Al; I'll be fine in a minute. Just give me a minute to regain my strength." He watched as the tears disappeared and the smile reappeared, although it was smaller than usual.

"Thanks." Leo muttered and Al peered at her again, "For what?" She looked up at him with a sleepy smile, "For being here and listening." He chuckled, "It's not like I can move right now." His head jerked around as he said that, 'Wait, why isn't she freaking out from the fact that I don't have a body?' He was about to ask when he heard a 'thunk' and looked down to see Leo leaning on his arm plate, eyes closed and asleep.
