When Edward and Winry arrived at the school again all classes were already over and all the students were coming outside. Some of them went to the bus depot of the school to drive back home with the bus, some already had their own cars and were heading to the parking lot. Ed and Winry were standig beside Eds car, waiting for the others to come. Winry could see Mei and Alphonse talking while making their way up to the cars. When Mei saw Winry she started running up to her.

"Winry!" she shouted.

"H-Hey Mei!" she said sounding a little nervous.

"Where have you been? I was so worried! I thought you just wanted to take something out of your locker!"

"Yeah.. And I did, but then there was this guy.. Envy was his name, i believe." she said.

"Envy! That stupid idiot.. Did he do something to you?! He can be really-" Mei sounded really worried and hysteric, so Winry interrupted her to calm her down a little.

"Don't worry about it. Ed was there to help me and then we just went outside together so everything's been-"

"Wait, what?" Mei interrupted her. Only now she noticed Edward standing next to Winry. Alphonse also had arrived at Mei's side by now.

"You two've been together?" Alphone sounded just as confused as Mei.

"The whole hour?" Mei added with a grin while looking to Edward. This time she sounded somehow.. glad and happy about it. Winy looked to Edward, who already looked annoyed by them. And.. a little embarressed. Winry just had to smile at that.

"You know, it wasn't that big of a-" Winry tried to explain.

"Oh Shut up!" Ed then said to Alphonse and Mei and went over to the drivers site of the car. Alphonse and Mei just looked at each other and grinned. Then they both opend the door to the backseats of the car and got in. Ed was about to open the door on the drivers site when he looked to Winry, who was still standing there, smiling at him.

"How are you getting home?" he then asked.

"Oh, I'm going. It's not that far." she said kindly. Without any word Ed opened his door and got into the car, closing the door again. Winry was about to turn around and go when suddenly the door of the front-passenger seat opened. Ed had leaned over and pushed it open.

"Get it. I'll drive you home." she heard him say. She smiled at that. Slowly she got the idea of how Edward showed his kindness. She went over to the door and got in the car. Then she closed the door again and turned to Edward.

"You really don't have to do this, I'll be fine.." she said to him but he just started the car.

"Don't worry about it, Winry." Mei said. Winry turned to face her which made Mei smile at her. And then they were driving. Central was really big. Winry had moved there in June and it was now September. And still she hadn't seen a lot of the city.

Mei was sitting in the backseat with Alphonse and looked at her phone. Then she looked up.

"Oh my god! I totally forgot that Rizas party was today!" she exclaimed.

"You mean this evening?" Al asked.

"Yeah.. Oh man, I have to look for something to wear.." she said and was already thinking about what she had in her closet.

"Hey, Winry. Riza wanted me to tell you that you're also invited, since you're in the gang now." he said smiling. Winry turned back to him.

"What kind of a party is this?" she asked.

"Well, Riza often throws these kind of parties, especially on the start of a new school year. The whole gang will be ther, of course. And also a lot of other students from our school." he said. "It's always really fun." Mei added, trying to convince Winry to come.

Winry looked at them.

"Hm.. Sounds cool, but..." she then looked at Edward for a second.

"I don't know.." she said.

"Come ooon!" Mei said pleading.

Then the car stoped. They arrived at the adress Winry had given Edward a while ago. Winry took her bag that was laying on the ground of the car and opened the door. Then she turned to Edward.

"Thanks for the ride." she said smiling. Then she turned to Mei and Al.

"See you."

"Bye Win!" they both said to her. When Winry closed the door they all looked after her. Winry went up to the front door of a large building where she had her appartment. Suddenly, Edward opened his door.

"Where're you going?" Al said confused.

"Forgot to ask her something." Edward just said and shut his door again. He ran up to Winry, who looked a little confused at him. Al and Mei were going crazy in the car and watched them carefully. Edward stood in front of Winry and rubbed the back of his head. He often looked away and then at her face again. Al and Mei wanted to know what they were talking about so they tried to open the window or the door, but at had locked the car.

"Edward?" Winry turned around and looked at him with a questioning look in her face.

"I- wanted to talk to you quick.. Alone." he then added.

"What is it?" she said, Ed was standing in front of her now.

"Um.. about this party." he said.

"Al said the whole gang is going. You too?" she asked.

"I don't know.." he said looking at the ground. Then he looked up again.

"You think I should go?" he asked her.

"Well, if you want to go you should go. If you don't want to, then don't." she said and smiled at him kindly.

"Do you want to go?" he asked.

"Um.. Well,.. I mean, yeah. It sounds pretty fun to me.." then she looked away too. "But I don't know.."

"You won't go.." he said for her.

"Probably not." she confirmed.

"Why not?"

"Because you probably won't go there too, right? I know it sounds silly, but i promised you that you wouldn't be all alone anymore. If you're not going then you would be the only one of the gang who stayed at home. So I'm staying too." she said smiling. Edward looked at her really surprised. Non of his friends had ever said something like that to him before. When they wanted to go to a party and Ed didn't wanna come they just went there anyways or dragged him with them. Ed looked at her for a while and didn't know what to say. Then he looked at the car and noticed how Al and Mei where watching them with big eyes. Ed had to laugh at that, making Winry notice them too.

"Well, I guess then we'll both just go to the party" he finaly said to her and smiled.

"You mean you're going?" she asked confused.

"Yeah." he grinned.

"You really don't have to if you don't want to, Edward. Just so I won't stay at home...-"

"No, It's not because of that." he said. "I just want to go. For some odd reason, this is the first time I really want to go." he said and smiled at her. She just looked at him for a while and then smiled at him too.

"Alright." she said.

"So, I should go now. Al and Mei are probably going crazy in this car." he said jokingly. Winry laughed.

"Yeah.."

"See you." Ed said, smiling one last time at her.

"See you." Winry repeated and waved at him as he was heading to the car again. Then she turned around and opend her front door. Then she was gone.

As Ed opend the car all he heard was screaming.

"WHAT WERE YOU TWO TALKING ABOUT SO LONG?"

"I'M TEXTING LING RIGHT NOW HE SAYS YOU SHOULD CALL HIM AND TELL HIM EVERYTHING!"

"HEY! FIRST HE HAS TO TELL US EVERYTHING!"

"YEAH, RIGHT, SORRY"

"DO YOU LIKE WINRY?"

"OR DOES SHE LIKE YOU?"

"DID YOU ASK HER FOR A DATE JUST NOW"

"NO?!" was the first thing Edward has said to them.

"Then what were you two talking about?!" Mei asked.

"Nothing." Ed said annoyed.

"EDWARD!" both of them shouted at him.

"IT'S PRIVATE!" he shouted back.

Al and Mei both sighned.

"Well, we'll just ask Winry later. Is she coming to the party today?" Al asked.

"Yeah." Ed said.

"So you two were talking about the party!" Mei exclaimed.

"Shut uuuuuuup!"

Winry entered her apartment and went in her room. Her dog was sleeping on her bed. She tossed her bag on the ground and threw her phone on the bed. Then she saw that the little light on her phone was blinking, that meant she had a message. She went over to her bed and picked her phone up again. Then she checked her messages. Riza had added her in a new group on Whatsapp. "The Gurls ❤" was the name of the group and in it were all the girls from the gang; Riza, Mei, Sheska, Gracia, Lan Fan and now also her.

[14:23] Riza: Are you all coming today? :D

[14:23] Mei: of course!

[14:23] Gracia: I'll be there c:

[14:23] Riza: What about you Winry? ❤

Winry started to type.

[14:25] Winry: I'll come :)

[14:25] Riza: Great! So, to who are we going?

[14:25] Mei: Not to me, my parent are at home :/

[14:26] Winry: Wait, I thought the party was at Riza's?

[14:26] Riza: Oh, we forgot to explain it to Winry.

[14:26] Sheska: yeah, the party is at Riza's. But everytime we go to a party all of us meet at someone's house and we kind of prepare ourselves together for the party :D

[14:27] Winry: Oh, sounds fun :D

[14:27] Mei: It is! And of course you're supposed to come too! :)

[14:28] Riza: Guys! But we still don't know to who's house we could go..

[14:29] Winry: Um.. You could come to me. I live alone, so we would be on our own..

[14:29] Riza: Rly? That'd be great! :D

[14:29] Mei: Alright! Then we're going to Winry y'all ❤

[14:30] Lan Fan: We'll be there in like 15 minutes, alright?

[14:30] Winry: Alright, see you :)

Winry then looked around her room. Good that she cleaned it yesterday, otherwise she would have to clean it now. When the doorbell rang, Winry ran up to her front door and opened it. In front of her there were all the girls with bags in their hands. They went in and looked around Winrys small apartment. She had four rooms; a small kitchen she had customized with some cute curtains, nice tablecloth and some flowers. On the wall above her cooker she had a long surface made out of blackboard with some chalk laying underneath it. You could write whatever you wanted on it and then easily remove it afterwards. Then she had a little bathroom, which she also had customized with really cute towels and flowers. Then there was her living room. It was really big compared to the other rooms and had a really big TV standing in one corner. She had a large, grey couch with a little dog bed beside it. The other girls noticed that there was a playstation laying on the ground in front of her TV which made them all really exited. Especially Mei wanted to play some games on it later. And last but not least, there was Winry's bed room.

"Wooow!" Mei exclaimed.

"Your room looks amazing!" Gracia said. The walls were colored in a light pink and the floor had white-grey laminate. Next to the door there stood a large white wardrobe. Next to it there was a white comode with some perfumes standing on it. Next to that there stood a cute vanity with a lot of make-up laying on it. On the wall there was a mirror with three round lightbulbs on each side. Next to the Vanity there was Winrys Bed. It was really high and had cute pillows laying on it and a chain of lights hanging above it. Winry's dog wasn't asleep anymore but still laying on the bed. Next to the bed she had a large mirror hanging on the wall.

Mei, Lan Fan and Sheska sat down on the bed.

"I didn't know you had a dog." Mei said.

"He's so cuuute!" Lan Fan said.

"His name is Den." Winry said smiling.

Sheska and Gracia went over to the living room and unfilled their bags on the couch. They brought lots of food, chips and sweets. They also brought their make-up and clothes for the party and started to get ready.

Mei and Gracia were standing in front of Winrys mirror and putting some mascara on while Winry was sitting on her bed and petting Den. Riza was sitting on the Vanity doing her make-up and Sheska and Lan Fan were getting dressed.

"So, Winry.." Mei said with a smirk on her face.

"What were you and Ed talking about today?" she said. Winry started to blush madly and looked down.

"Um,.. nothing really.." she started. Riza immidietly stopped putting on her make-up and turned to Winry.

"Wait, whaaaat?" she exclaimed and started laughing.

"Tell us everything!" Sheska said and jumped on Winrys bed.

"He just.. asked me if I'll go to Rizas party this evening, nothing more." Winry said embarressed.

"Awww, how cuuute! look at how red she's getting!" Gracia said. Winry started to laugh.

"No I'm not!" she said covering her face. The others started laughing.

"Wait, why did Edward ask you if you'll go? It's not like he's coming to the party.." Riza said confused.

"Yes, he is." Winry said. Everyone just got silent after that.

"What?" Riza then asked.

"He said he wanted to come." she repeated. Everyone just looked at each other.

"Edward.."

"..said.."

"..he wants.."

"..to come to the party?!"

"Maybe he'll become normal again!"

"Yeah! Just imagine him not being down all the time!"

"He really could have changed!"

"Because of Winry!"

"I'm sure it's because of Winry!" they were all talking really excited.

"Because of me?" Winry sounded confused. "I didn't do anyt-"

"You don't understand, Winry." Riza said grinning. She seemed really happy.

"Edward never wants to do something with other people since.." then she turned really serious. "it happened. We were all really worried about him. We didn't knew if he'd ever be the same."

"But now.." Mei said. Everyone was staring at Winry.

Gracia then came up to Winry and sat next to her. She laid one arm around her.

"Do you like Ed?" she said grinning a little. Winry got red again and put a pillow in front of her face.

"No! ... I ... don't know.. Maybe.. a little..?" she said and everyone started laughing.

"Alright, girls!" Riza suddenly said. "You know what we have to do now." she grinned. Everyone nodded and Winry didn't know how she should feel now.
