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.

"First thing tomorrow morning we are going to get on a train and head back to HQ to drop these two off, then Al and I are going to go to central." I said between bites of my dinner.

"Oh really this place will be quite again?" Granny joked

"Then Al and I are going to fix our bodies and we wont need Granny or Winston to fix us up again." I continued

"Yeah right kid, you're are cash cow why bother fix your body."Granny said.

"Besides jerkface you can't do anything without your mechanics." Winston stated.

"Who are you calling jerkface machine freak!" The others started laughing at that point and I decided to back to my meal.

/Al POV

Sister fell asleep on the couch with stomach exposed again, I've tried to get her to stop that because people might find out that she is a she. I just sighed and pulled a blanket on her. Pinako laughed at what I said.

"You sound like you're her guardian and not the other way around."

"It's really hard to tell which one of you is older sometimes." Winston added.

"It's a pain sometimes having a high maintenance sister, but I love her anyway"

"How old are you two again?" Pinako said while taking a smoke from her pipe.

"I'm 14 and sister is 15."

"It's funny to think that this "Human weapon" despite being a pipsqueak is the same age as me." Winston laughed. He was sitting on the couch besides Ed.

"And she's sleeping like a baby on top of that." I said making a joke and she rolled over to face the back of the couch. I decided to fill Granny and Winston in on what we have been doing for the last little while, well the less dangerous ones anyway.

/Ed POV

I woke up early that morning and got dressed as soon as possible, the sooner I got on the road the sooner I could restore Al's body. I went outside to wait for the others who were coming with us to HQ.

"Thanks for taking care of us Granny." I said to her. Al was playing with Den and Hawkeye and Mustang were checking to see if they had everything that the needed.

"Right." She nodded. One thing that I liked about Granny is that was a lot like me, we didn't need the sappy goodbyes we just left most of the time.

"Where's Winston?" Al questioned walking over to us.

"He's still asleep since he stayed up all night , want me to wake him?" The mechanic questioned

"Nah, it's okay, he'll probably just lecture me about taking care of my automail properly or something like that if he got up and came to say goodbye." I said and started to walk towards the road

"See ya." I said my back to her.

"Bye Granny." Al said and turned to follow me.

"You two come back once and a while and eat some breakfast you hear?" Was how she said her goodbye to us this time.

"Sure we'll stop in sometime." Al promised

"Who'd drop by this far into the mountains just to eat?" I questioned her.

"It must be nice to have a family to welcome you, and a place to return to." Hawkeye said almost to herself.

"Really? We're more of the wandering types that go from journey to journey." I told her my way of saying that I don't like the memories that come from being here. But it was nice seeing Winston and Granny again. Mostly I thought of this place as the burnt down home that we left behind.

"Ed! Al!" I heard Winston call from his balcony, the same balcony three days earlier he threw a wrench at me from. I turned quickly checking to see if another wrench was coming my way. "See you later." He called on last time still half asleep. I turned around and keep walking.

"Yeah." I waved goodbye with my back facing him.

Winston POV

"Morning Granny." I said as I walked down the stairs.

"Morning? You've been asleep all day."

"Have I?" I questioned rubbing sleep out of my eyes.

"Yes, now clean up the work bench." She said as she started to put away laundry in the cupboard. I walked over to the cluttered work bench

"Oh yeah I left that stuff out after fixing Ed's arm." I started picking the tools back up and putting them back into my toolbox. That's when I noticed it. A small part that belonged in Ed's arm. "Crap" I whispered to myself.

/Ed POV

After we got back to HQ we dropped off Mustang and Hawkeye and so happened to catch the same train to Central that Major Armstrong had. The Colonel and the Lieutenant were seeing us off.

"What a coincident that Armstrong has the same cabin as us" I told the Colonel

"Yeah that's weird right? Mustang said.

"Stop with the lies I know you did this."

"Okay but Scar is still out there and I'm not letting you go unprotected."

"What did I say about not treating me special?" I questioned under my breath so only Mustang could hear.

"Like I said Scar is still out there and you don't know Central half as good as you know Resembool." He whispered back. The train started up. "Well have fun in Central Edward. Armstrong so your best to keep yourself alive I hate filling out extra paper work." Mustang called over the sound of the train.

"Like it's that easy to get rid of me!" I retorted. This was going to be a long train ride.

(A few hours later.)

After a while he kind of grow on you, like a fungus. But still he was like a big lovable baby. He also treated Al nicely so that was okay in my books too. I still couldn't wait to get to the Central Library. 'Soon I'll learn how to create a stone so I won't have to keep searching for it.' I stepped off the train with a huge smile on my face.

"We're here Central!" I started to run for the exit "Hurry up Al."

"Brother we don't have to hurry up that much, libraries can't run away." He said while running with me.

"Just hurry up okay?" We were right at the exit when Armstrong grabbed the back of my jacket to stop me from running. There were two soldiers greeting the major. The man looked to Al, I knew what was going to happen but please no.

"Are you the Fullmetal Alchemist?" He asked Al. It was a good thing that Armstrong was still holding me back or else that man would have been dead meat.

"Hi I'm Maria Ross it's an honour to meet you!" The woman said the man continued with

"I'm Denny Brosh, your outfit matches your name how impressive."

"I'm not the Fullmetal Alchemist he's over there." Al corrected while pointing at me.

"The small guy?" Brosh asked. 'That does it he's dead meat'. I went to charge him again but Armstrong was still holding me back. The two of them stumbled over an apology while Armstrong waited for me to cool down.

"Now I shall go report to Central HQ." He said in that deep voice of his.

"Oh? What was that? Is this where we part? Good job. I'm so sad! Byebye!" I waved him off. He gripped me in a bone crunching hug.

"I am sad as well! It was truly a fun journey! May we meet each other again." He let me go and I started to pass out from lack of oxygen. "Take care of the rest." He told the other two soldiers 'What?'

"Yes sir" They responded with a salute.

"what? I still have escorts?"

"Of course!" 'Damn that Scar why couldn't he just show up and get arrested already.'

"While we may not be as capable as the major, we have confidence in our abilities." Ross said.

"I guess we can't do anything about that." I moaned

"Brother you're supposed to say thank you." Al scolded me.

"Brother? This armoured man is your brother?" They asked. 'This is going to be a long trip.' I thought as I smacked my face with my palm.
