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.

And please feel free to comment and or give suggestions

I saw a woman scream over a ring in one of the booths that we passed in Rush Valley. 'God people get obsessed over silly little things. At least no one in this group is going to do something embarrassing like that.' I thought a little too early when I heard Winston cry out.

"It's beautiful, this automail." He was making facing like that girl in the store. 'Oh Winston what are we going to do with you?' I asked myself. "Rush Valley a.k.a the holy land of automail. A whole city dedicated to automail. Hopefully the economy here stays afloat." Winston continued with giving us a tour of the town he has never been to. I heard a crowd cheering at something and that got my attention.

"Incredible 51 straight wins!"

"No one can beat this guy!" I pushed my way through the crowd to see what was going on. It was a mechanical arm wrestling contest. Sitting at the table was basically a grizzly bear with automail arms.

"Limited to only challengers with automail. Entry fee is 10000 cens. Take home the pot if you beat the champion!" The announcer said into the crowd. Some one behind me pushed his way into view.

"I'll do, I just got new automail and I want the test its limits." The match didn't last long it ended with the grizzly bear ripping off his arm and the challenger getting pulled into the crowd of mechanics. The announcer looked to Al next.

"How about you big guy want to give it a shot?" He asked quickly and Al turned him down just as fast. "What about you with the right automail arm?" I looked at who he was talking to then I remembered that I wasn't wearing either of my coats so he could clearly see my automail. "Oh sorry! A short-fart like you couldn't possibly win." The crowd started laughing. He new exactly what buttons to push. 'Okay dumbass how do you feel about loosing to a girl?' I walked up to the table and sat down when no one was looking I clapped my hands together.

"looks like another arm is going to break." A man from the crowd said. 'Looks like Winston is about to get a crap load of customers.'

"You better win this no matter what Ed." Winston was glaring at me like he thought I was going to break his automail right in front of him. I put my right hand on the table and grabbed his right hand.

"Ready, Set, Go!" The announcer yelled. I put all of my weight into slamming my right arm towards the table, and his arm broke in pieces as it made contact.

"Sorry" I said trying to be as sarcastic as possible. "Looks like it's a busy day for the scrap dealers." The man was pulled into the crowd of automail mechanics. Man they were like vultures. I propped my arm on the back of the chair.

"Hey I haven't seen this kinda automail before." And with that I had all of the mechanics swarming me. People were pulling at my arm trying to take a closer look.

"I made it." Winston advertised. He grabbed my arm from the strangers and started pointing at spots. "See it's hollow here. Oh and her left leg is automail too." Winston said. With that the mechanics started strippping me down to nothing but my bra and the boxer shorts I wear over my real underwear. The crowd left after they got a good view. I crossed my arms over my chest trying to cover my bra. "Everyone here is so interested in automail." God if Mustang saw me now he would die laughing. I started pulling on my clothes before anyone recognized me as the Fullmetal Alchemist. I was half way dressed my I noticed it wasn't there. I started panicking.

"What's wrong Ed? And should your ribs be wrapped or something?"

"No there cracked not broken and my state alchemist Id, the sliver watch, is gone." I told them. I pulled on my shirt and boots quickly and started banging on the automail mechanics doors.

"Looks like the handiwork of Paninya. She's a thief that targets tourists." I was mad I was going to find this chick and beat her head in.

"Do you know wear I can find her? Please it's very important." I tried not to show my anger

"Well tell you but let us take a look at your automail." They begged. 'Stupid mechanics always the same.' I clapped my hands and brought out the blade from my automail and showed them. They threw their hands up in the air. "The west side main, in a shop called Glatz."

I got to the store right when they where about to open the hood.

"Don't move." I yelled into the room. "You Bastard think you can take my watch from me?" I was walking up to her when she threw a vase at me.

"Noooo! That's worth 1000,000 cens." The shop keeper yelled. I caught it before it hit the ground and she took off.

During the chase I was almost killed by a dog. That did no favours for my ribs or for Paninya. I caught up to her on the roof of a building where she was trying to open the hood again. She didn't know who she was messing with. I started using my alchemy on her. Let's just say I was really glad Mustang wasn't here to see this because she kept getting away from me. Even Al couldn't stop her. When she was about to run off again Winston grabbed her hand. 'That's my boy Winston!' I mentally cheered.

"I'm not letting you go." Winston told her.

"Don't let that thief go!" Al and I said running to meet them.

"Of course I won't. This automail you gotta let me take a look at it." He begged her. 'Yep that's my boy.' I threw my face into my palm. Winston had found his people.
