Chapter 10: Cows must be crying
~~~Alice Cam!~~~~
Alice pulled the door shut behind her and almost immediately crashed into Emily. Emily looked up in surprise before narrowing her eyes. She stared at Alice's face for a minute, giving off a confused aura. Finally, she spoke up.
"Why do you have a bruise on your cheek?"
"Oh....that. Um, well......Al and I kinda got in a fight...." Alice gave an awkward laugh and Emily sighed.
"I told you your fake violence would screw you someday."
"Fake?! What!? It's not fake!"
"So you took karate for a couple years. Big whoop."
"Eh." Alice crossed her arms and looked away only to see Winry walking down the hall. "Winry?" she turned and ran over to the door, sticking her head out.
"Winry!" The blonde turned and smiled.
"Alice! Wait....what are you doing here? Were you injured too?" A worried look crossed her face.
"Yes,unfortunately . Whats up, Winry?" said Emily, standing beside Alice. Winry gasped.
"You too, Emily? Ed never told me you guys were hurt...."
"He probably just didn't want to worry you," said Alice, walking over and giving Winry a hug. The auto-mail mechanic hugged her back.
"I should go check on Ed's auto-mail. You guys wanna come?" Emily and Alice looked at each other before saying,
"No thanks."
"Alright. I'll come visit you guys when I'm done."
"Alright. Bye, Winry."
"Bye!"
~~~~Winry Cam!~~~~
The blonde walked down the hall, smiling. She was happy to see everyone again, even if it was in a hospital. She arrived at Edward's room and pushed the door open. She opened her mouth to say hi and froze. Ed was lying in his bed, completely covered in bandages. Armstrong, Ross, and Brosh stood beside the the bed. Armstrong was crying, Ed looked mad, and the other two were sweat-dropping. Winry ran over, causing the others to look up.
"Ed?" she asked,"Why are you covered in bandages?! I knew you were hurt but you didn't tell me it was this bad....."
"It wasn't this bad until Major Armstrong showed up..." Ed replied, glaring at said man. Winry and the other two glared at him as well. Armstrong just continued crying.
....
"Sheesh, don't scare me like that!" Winry exclaimed as Ed took off the extra bandages.
"Don't tell it to me, tell it to him!" Said Ed angerly, jerking his chin at the major.
"It's your fault for not training yourself hard enough," Armstrong replied, still sparkling.
"You can't expect him to be a match for you, Major!" Winry said, sweat dropping. She looked back down at Ed, "But...even without the wounds inflicted by the Major, your injuries are still really severe."
"This is nothing," he scoffed, "Wounds like these heal quick." Winry was silent. "What?"
"...You were hurt because your auto-mail failed you. It's all my fault for not being thorough enough when I built it." The room was quiet as eveyone except Winry stared at Ed.
"It....It's not your fault Winry! First of all, the reason it broke was because I was too rough with it! Your work was flawless as usual! Plus, when my arm broke, it kept me from getting even more beat up! So don't worry about it! All right?!"
Winry suddenly grinned, leaping forward. "Your right! It's not my fault! Ok then, let's talk about my fee for coming out here to make repairs!" Ed flinched, his eyes darkening.
"Hrm! Don't get excited so excited, Edward Elric. You must take it easy and nurse yourself back to health. And to do that you need plenty of nutritious food and rest." said the Major, crossing his arms.
"I know!" Winry was quietly staring at the end table. Edward slowly looked up.
"You didn't drink your milk......." Ed was quiet for a moment before saying,
"....I HATE milk."
"That's why your always gonna be the size of a pea!" Winry yelled.
"Shut up!! I'm not gonna drink some opaque white liquid that was secreted by a cow!!!"
"Your just being stubborn, Edward Elric!" Armstong exclaimed, "In order to regain your lost stamina, you need nutrients!!"
"Fine! Then I'll get my nutrients from some other source!!"
"That's why you never get taller!!"
"What did you say?!"
As Armstrong continued on about milks nutrient status, Ed and Winry looked up just in time to see Al closing the door behind him.
Time skip!!!! Sorta.....
~~~~Em and Alice Cam!~~~~
Alice was sitting on her bed, holding an ice pack to her left eye. She didn't think she really needed an ice pack, but Em and Winry had insisted. Speaking of Emily, she looked up to see that the said girl was still pacing the room.
"Don't wear a hole in the floor," Alice said dryly. Emily gave her a look before saying,
"I don't get it. Why would Al punch you?" Alice shrugged.
" 'Cuz he's on his manperiod?"
"Alice!"
"What?" Emily shook her head and continued to pace.
"I just don't get...." she mumbled. Alice sighed.
"Stop trying to figure it out, Emily. Al's just acting weird." Emily gave her another look.
"This is your fault too, ya know."
"Yeah, yeah."
"Alice! Could you at least act concerned?!" Alice shrugged again.
"I am concerned. But he punched me, obviously I'm a little mad at the tin can."
"He's not a tin can!" Emily yelled, stopping mid-pace, "Stop dissing Alphonse!"
"Why should I?" she asked, reaching up and gently touching the area around her eye. She winced. "The stupid tin-"
"Get out." She looked up in surprise.
"What did you say?"
"You heard me. Get out. And don't come back until you've made up with Al." Alice sat in silence for moment before standing up.
"Fine, I'll go. But if that's your requirement, I can't promise I'll be back soon." Then she was gone.
