I don't own Fullmetal Alchemist or Brotherhood. But there will be some direct lines from the story.

This story deals with a gender-swapped Ed, there will be no Ed/ Roy romance in this story just parental relationship. Also gender-swapped Winry.

And please feel free to comment and or give suggestions.

I'm going to try something new this chapter hope you guys like it.

I walked down the stairs ready to show them the extent of the damage I caused. I wondered if there was something wrong with my foot too because I felt a little lopsided. I sat on the work bench they had and Winston went straight for my arm port.

"Well at least the port is all right we don't need to redo that." Winston changed into his work clothes, he was now wearing a jump suit that was tied around the waist and an black tank top, his hair was also pulled back with a bandanna. I felt Granny pick up both of my legs and put them on a foot stool.

"It's not just the arm we are going to have to adjust." Granny said and Winston and I looked down in her direction.

"Well what do you know pipsqueak you have grown." Winston joked. I could only think of how much time that was going to take doing the math in my mind I came up with a weeks time.

"So it will take about a week right?" I asked out loud. Granny scoffed at the idea

"Give us some credit Edelle." She took a smoke from her pipe. "We can do it in three days." She measured my right leg from just above my knee to my foot. "You are going to have to deal with a spare leg for three days think you can handle that?" She asked as she was unhooking my leg and then she shoved the spare into place. I was trying to get used to the spare leg. I was taking small steps to get the feel of it when I over heard Winston.

"This is going to take me all night."

"Sorry."

"Don't be you need to be in Central right away, and besides to make up for it you'll pay me oodles in cash right away." He said as he hit me on my back in a playful manner to bad he made me shift on my temporary leg. I went down pretty hard. "Crap sorry Ed forgot you're not used to the spare leg yet.

I went outside to sit besides Al who was being kept company by Den.

"Three days." I said as I threw myself down "What the hell am I supposed to do for three days!"

"You can go visit mom." Al suggested that got my attention. "You make it sound like as soon as you get fixed up we're leaving. At least one of us should go see mom."

"Yeah maybe I'll go for a bit."

*point of view change, it's now Roy*

I chopped another block of firewood

"How much longer do I have to do this?" I called into the house

"Is the bin full yet?" Pinako asked from inside, her and Hawkeye were working on other things while I got the manual labour job.

"It's full!" I cheered.

"Then you can stop" She responded. I smiled and wiped the sweat from my brow. Some relaxing break this turned out to be. I walked back into the house. Riza saw me and slid a stack of folders towards me.

"Can I have at least five minutes?" She glared at me and I took the papers glad that my subordinates didn't see that. "Hey Hawkeye where's Ed?" I asked I couldn't hear her complaining so she must have been sleeping somewhere.

"She went to go visit her mothers grave." Pinako responded

"And you let her go alone?" I stood up I was about to run out of the house when Pinako scolded me.

"She's fine, she knows this place like the back of her hand and she has the best bodyguard around Den." Huh so that's where the dog went. "We don't hear much about what's going on. Ed and Al don't write or call often but everyone has heard about them."

"Yes that's mainly my fault I would assume, I send Ed out on missions and she has this thing about getting into trouble. But their strong the two of them. Stronger then most men I know."

"Strong eh?" She chuckled "I remember that night four years ago when they showed up on my doorstep after Ed gave up her arm to transmute her brothers soul into that suit of armour. I remember when she said she would sign up for the military and I remember her going through the automail surgery that would make most adults scream. Who would have thought that so much strength could come from someone that small." I looked to the wall with pictures of the two families on it. I remembered my reason for coming out here a couple of years ago.

"Still no news from Hohenheim?" I asked

"Nope that dead beat still hasn't shown up yet."

Back to Ed

Like they said three days later the part were ready. I was back on that same work bench in shorts and a tube top.

"On three."

"One."

"Two."

"Three." They said together as they reconnected the nerves. I couldn't wait to get my real body back so I wouldn't have to deal with it any more.

"Okay try moving your arm." Winston said as I lifted my arm and pushed myself off the bench. "Great how does it feel?"

"I feel good" I walked up to the wall and started stretching my leg out.

"Okay so I made some adjustments because you never do maintenance on it so... Ed get back here!" He yelled as I ran outside to Alphonse.

"I'm so sorry to keep you waiting." I started grabbing the pieces of armour and bringing them near him "Is that all?"

"Yep the military police gathered them all up for me."

"Okay lets fix you up." I clapped my hands and touched his chest plate. He was fixed and good as new. I quickly braided my hair and looked at him. "Let's do this."

"Do you want to go over the rules?" Al questioned.

"Fine, no kicking below the belt Al!" I said as I kicked his shin it set him off balance but he was still able to throw me over his shoulder.

"No hair pulling Ed!" he said at the same time. The sparing went uninterrupted for a while then Mustang and Hawkeye came out.

"Why are you two fighting?!" Mustang yelled at us.

"We we aren't fighting, I'm testing out my new limbs." I said while blocking a punch from Al

"And I wasn't able to move my body for a while so I have to restore it's feeling." Al said trying to swipe my leg out from underneath me.

"Oh okay." Mustang said, apparently that was good enough for him. We fought for a bit longer before Al tried something dirty.

"Al I said no below the belt." As I blocked his foot.

"Sorry Sister but you're so small that everything might as well be below the belt." He teased. He was trying to get me mad and it was working.

"If you're opponent has a temper seek to irritate and never listen to an enemy's taunts." Mustang called out to us 'great is this a lesson now?' I thought to myself.

"Stop going for the cheep shots Ed."

"A soldier favours haste over cleverness, meaning they are no cheap shots, strike quickly and you'll end it quickly too." Mustang yelled, 'yes now he's on my side.' I smiled Al left a spot opened and I went for it, unfortunately he knew I was going to do that and threw me down.

"Make you're opponent think you have a weakness and when they go for it it becomes theirs." Mustang smirked as he said that last one

"Sister are you done now?" Al questioned still in his battle stance.

"Yup, I still haven't beaten you yet." Al bent over to help me up. "Granny we're starving!" I called as I ran towards the house.
