MEETING TROUBLE

Ed and Al were sitting on the edge of a bench in Resembool, where the open skies drifted on for miles without end and the clouds were sitting on top of the world. Ed looked to Al, contemplating.
"hey Al...what does it feel like?"
"what do you mean brother?"
"you know. about us..."
"what is it?..."
"when...when we get our bodies back...like they were before, do you think...I mean...would it look like we changed?"
Al sat quietly, as his metal cranked and whirred as he looked down to the ground.
"i dont know brother...alls i know is that when we get our bodies back the way they were before, your going to go first..."
Al said, no expression lined his face. Ed's head snapped away from Al.
"no...its not your burden. how many times must i tell you? listen i have a body...you dont. that ends this conversation.."
Ed said as he jumped off the bench.An old woman walked past them but stopped in front of Al. "you are the fullmetal alchemist yea?" she asked hesitantly. AL shook his head in dismay. "nope...he is though.." Al pointed to Ed who was hiding below the bench. "dont worry...im used to it.." he said through clenched teeth. "I need a favor...from any of you.i know your both alchemists..and i need your help, oh dear me!" the old woman spoke, adjusting her glasses. "its about Winrey..." Ed snapped up, almost hitting his head on the bench's side. "WINREY?..." he asked almost demandingly as he stood up and fixed his coat. "yes..winrey...she took a nasty fall...poor girl she is so nice. she's still at home waiting for the doctor to come. she kept asking for you Ed..." Eds temper boiled. "well we gotta go now then! AL c'mon!" he said as he grabbed Al's arm, in the attempt, he got pulled back. "oh i forgot..your all metal, huh Al?.." he said an embarassed look seaped upon his face. AL got up. "come on... i can carry you.." he said to the old lady.

CHAPTER TWO; THE REASON )))

Ed raced alongside Al, who carried the old woman upon his gigantic, metallic shoulders. "so tell me why we need to use alchemy..." Ed said out of breath as they neared the small automail shop. "well, i heard this doctor can use alchemy to help his patients...so can you right?.. "not even close, they used a fake philosophers stone...cant help with that..." Ed looked up at the automail shop. "thats it, c'mon Al, pick up speed! Winrey needs us!" Ed screamed out of breath. when they neared the door, Ed burst open the door, breaking it. "Winrey! what the hell?!" he screamed as he approached her side. she was laying on a couch with a damp rag on her head. "she looks like mom.." Al whispered as he put down the old lady.the old lady bowed deeply, paying her respects.
"oh dont start that d*** stuff with me Al..." Ed said as he looked at Winrey.
"Ed?" Winrey whispered.
"yes Winrey?" Ed answered back.
"come closer..." Winrey whispered.
Ed pulled closer to her.
"closer!" her voice raised a little.
"d***, if i go any closer to you, I'll bite your ear off!" Ed replied, getting annoyed. he just waited for her to tell him something.Winrey pulled out a wrench and thwacked Ed right upside the head with it, and hard.
"do you know what i slipped on?!" she said rubbing her leg.
Ed fell back and rubbed the lump on his head.
"what the hell?! what was that for?!" he asked clenching his teeth.
"i tripped on your bolt!!! check your arm, you dumbnut!..you must have been playing with your arm werent you?!" Winrey said almost at the point of tears. she held a small knuckle bolt in her hand. Eds face went blank.
"my bolt?..." Ed took off his glove and picked up the bolt, and examined it.
"well i'll be...its my third knuckle..." he said as he bit his lip, trying not to laugh. Al burst out laughing.
"oh man, Winrey got you good..." Al said as his face showed no expression, but laughter was heard from inside the empty metal.
"oh shut up, Al...no one asked you..." Ed said as he sat up. he turned to Winrey..
"did you really get hurt?.." he asked sympathetically.
"yea...oh well...its just my leg that hurts..." she said rubbing her right leg.
"hey you know, if it needs to be amputated today, we will look like we're related" he said joking around with her. with that, it cost him another whack upside his head, this time on the other side.
"now you feel equal pain..." winrey said smiling. Ed collapsed on the floor, with a mild concussion.

chapter three,
The Doctors Visit

"well she definately has a fracture..nothing like a good old fasioned cast wont cure..." the doctor said, the diagnosis complete.
"to make her feel better, give her lots of pizza, foot rubs and ice cold smoothies, on accout its almost 100 degrees today." the doctor said packing things into his bag. he looked at Ed the whole time while he was saying it.
"me? give foot rubs? ohhh no. you need to choose someone else.." he said folding his arms, looking at Al.
"brother, you know i cant do it, i'll end up hurting her" Al said as he backed away.
Ed put up his automail arm and pointed to it.
"oh...but your left hand, brother.."
"is cramped..no. i wont do it.."
"i'll bet you'll do it for an Eddie Crunch.."
"oh stop taunting me.."
"its gonna be steak this time..."
Eds mouth starts to water.
"s.s....steak? mmm...i hate it when you do this to me Al..."
"just think...the nice leather-y sensation...the juice of a medium cooked steak, parsley coated...with a hint of pepper..."
"OKAY AL, STOP I'LL DO IT!! I'LL DO IT FOR THE STEAK!!!" Ed yelled as he ran to the edge of the couch, giving Winrey a foot massage.
"i guess i will have to go heat up the grill.." Al said as he slumply went outside.

mmmmm! Me likey steaks! Mediums are my favs as well! :lol: Heh, heh! that's still funny! ;)
