She pulls the chair out from under the handle of the wardrobe, opening it. Fullmetal flops out and face plants the floor.

Al wacks Fullmetal's face a few times with his tail, trying to wake him up. He fails, and eventually sticks his tongue in his ear.

"AHH!" He yells, awake. He pulls against his restraints.

"Wha..? Is this...hair?" Golden hair was wrapped tightly around his wrists, preventing him from moving in the slightest. He heard a voice.

"Struggling...struggling is pointless. I know why you're here. And I'm not afraid of you."

"What?" Fullmetal raised an eyebrow, confused.

"Who are you, and how did you find me?" The voice asked. Something, or rather someone, dropped from the ceiling, the hair that was restraining him stemming from their head. A figure walked into the light. It was a woman. One with golden hair, shining in the sunlight.

"Ah hah." Fullmetal was in awe. She had gorgeous ocean blue eyes, and a beautiful face to match.

"Who are you, and how did you find me?" She pressed again.

Fullmetal cleared his throat, swallowing the lump that formed there. He was facing the floor.

"I know not who you are. Nor how I came to find you. But may I just say." He lifted his head.

"Hi! How you doing? The names Fullmetal Alchemist. How's your day going, huh?" He gave her a smug smile, and raised in eyebrows, in an attempt to flirt.

"Who else knows my location, Fullmetal Alchemist?" She questioned. What is with this woman and her questions?

"All right, Blondie." He started.

"Winry."

"Here's the thing. I was in a situation, Gallivanting through the forest. I can across your tower and..." The young man looked around in panic.

"Ho, ho no, where is my satchel?"

"I've hidden it, somewhere you'll never find it."  She crossed her arms over her chest.

"It's in the pot, isn't it." He deadpanned.

She hit him over the head with her wrench and hid the satchel somewhere else, somewhere he was sure to never find. Under the stairs. Al the stuck his tongue into the man's ear, to wake him up again.

"Ugh! would you stop that?!" He yelled.

"Now it's hidden where you'll never find it. So, what do you want, with my hair? To cut it?"

"What?" He was even more puzzled now.

"Sell it?"

"No! Listen, the only thing I want to do with your hair, is to get out of it. Literally!"

"Wait, you don't want my hair?"

"Why on earth would I want your hair?" He tried to move his hands to talk.

"Look, I was being chased, I saw a tower, I climbed it, end of story."

"You're, telling the truth?" She asked, tilting her head, now confused as well.

"YES!"

She turned away and started to talk to her pet lizard.

"Hmmm. I know. I need someone to take me. I think he's telling the truth, too. He doesn't have fangs! but what choice do I have?" Al was communicating with her using his hands. She turned back to Fullmetal "Okay Fullmetal Alchemist, I'm prepared to offer you a deal."

"Deal?" He asked.

Winry pointed at her painting on the wall.

"Look this way. Do you know what these are?"

"You mean the lantern thing they do for the princess?"

"Lanterns... I knew they weren't stars." She grumbled. "Well, tomorrow evening they will light the night sky, with these lanterns. You will act as my guide, Take me to these lanterns, and return me home safely. Then, and only then, will I return your satchel to you. That is my deal."

"Yeah, no can do. Unfortunately, the kingdom and I are not exactly, simpatico, at the moment. So I won't be taking you anywhere." He pursed his lips, apologetic.

"Something brought you here, Fullmetal Alchemist. Call it what you will, fate, destiny-"

"A horse." He chimed in.

"So I have made the decision to trust you-"

"A horrible decision, really."

"But trust me, when I tell you this." She grabbed him by the shoulder and pulled him forward, so that they were face to face. "You can tear this tower apart, brick by brick. but without my help, you will never find your precious satchel." She threatened. Fullmetal averted his eyes, terrified of the woman before him. He cleared his throat.

"Let me just get this straight." He looked back to the blonde. "I take you to see the lanterns. Bring you back home. and you'll give me back my satchel?"

"I promise. And when I promise something, I never ever break that promise." She looked into his eyes. They were so blue. So beautiful. There were oceans inside of them. He could swim in her eyes forever.

"EVER!" She continued and he snapped out of his thoughts and blushed.

"All right, listen, I didn't want to have to want to do this, but you leave me no choice. Here comes the smolder." He smirked at her and made a weird face. His eyebrows creased upwards and he pursed his lips. Winry just continued to glare at the man.

"This is kind of an off day for me.This doesn't normally happen."

The glare continued to ware him down.

"Fine, I'll take you to see the lanterns." He gave in.

"Really!" She exclaimed, jumping up and down in excitement   She did a little mini victory dance. Fullmetal fell to the floor, face first.

"Ooops."

"You broke my smolder" he groaned.

Chapter 3

Mustang slid down the cliff side, face first, until he reached a stop. He immediately got up, and took to looking for the short thug once more.

Fullmetal could hear the leaves rustling around him, and a neigh in the distance. He eventually came to a stop, blood rushing to his head, heart pounding, and leant against the stone next to him, hoping to catch his breath. However, that was not the case, as he fell painfully onto his side, the vines that he once thought were covering a rock wall, falling back into place.

He could see the shadow of his chaser outside the green screen that was shielding him from view. When the horse left, he let out a sigh of relief, and took a look around to gather his surroundings.

He was in a small cave, cove if you will, and there was a lot of light coming from the side. He headed toward the light.

He turned his head after checking that he wasn't followed, to see a beautiful view. A huge, gushing waterfall was at the end of the valley, and a small river. There was green grass everywhere and flowers of all kinds as far as the eye could see. There were hundreds of trees, all different shapes and sizes as well. It truly was a beautiful view.

Height in front of him stood a tower. Old, sturdy, and covered in moss and other plants. Though, there didn't seem to be an entrance. Oh well.

There was a neigh in the distance, and Fullmetal ran towards the tower. He clapped his hands together, and using alchemy, he created two arrows. He dug them between the stones of the tower, and pulled himself up to the top.

His breath was laboured once he reached the top, it wasn't everyday that he had to pull himself up a gigantic structure such as this.

The blonde checked his satchel, to make sure the crown was still in his possession and hadn't fallen out on his journey down the cliff side, or up the tower. He smirked proudly when he saw he still had it, and it was unbroken.

"Alone at last." He stated smugly.

However, everything went black a few moments later when he was hit over the head by something. The young man keels over face-first, hitting the ground hard.

Winry stood behind him, wide eyed and panting, a silver wrench in her tight grasp. She looks down at him, and then at Al, who looked at her as if she was saying:

'See if he has fangs!'

She pushes the wrench against his upper lip, pushing it back, revealing, fortunately, no fangs.

Suddenly, his eyes shot open.

"Huh?" He mumbled. Winry swung at him, knocking him out once more. Struggling, she manages to drag him across the floor, over to her wardrobe. After many attempts of trying g to get him in her closet, swinging him in using her hair, shoving him in a few times, she manages to get him in.

She backs away from the wardrobe, wrench grasped tightly in her hands, pointed at the wardrobe.

"Okay, okay, I got a person in the closet. I got a person in the closet. I got a person in my closet!" She swings her wrench around in her finger

"Too weak to handle myself out there, huh Mother? Well, Tell that to my frying pan!" The wrench hit her in the face.

"Ow!"

"Winry! Let down your hair!" She heard Lust yell.

"One moment, Mother!" She yelled back. Winry glanced at the wardrobe, and then went to help her mother up.

"I have a big surprise." Lust announced when she entered the tower.

"Uh, I do too." she replied.

"Oh, I bet my surprise is bigger."

"I seriously doubt it!"

Lust pulled out a vegetable from her basket.

"I brought back parsnips. I'm going to make hazelnut soup for dinner, your favorite. Surprise!"

"Well mother, there's something I want to tell you." Winry grinned.

"Oh Rapunzel, you know I hate leaving you after a fight." She tapped her daughters cheek.

"Especially when I've done absolutely nothing wrong."

"Okay, I've been thinking a lot about what you said, earlier." Winry changed the subject.

"I hope you're not still talking about the stars." Lust warned her.

"Floating lights, and, yes I'm leading up to that."

"Because I really thought we dropped the issue, sweetheart." She continued, giving her the 'don't push it' look.

"No Mother, I'm just saying, you think I'm not strong enough to handle myself out there." Winry ignored her mother.

"Oh darling, I know you're not strong enough to handle yourself out there." She stated.

"But if you just..." Winry tried to reason.

"Winry, we're done talking about this." She demanded.

"But trust me, I..." she tried again.

"Winry." Lust warned.

"...know what I'm" Winry continued.

"Winry---."

"Oh, come on." Winry begged.

"ENOUGH WITH THE LIGHTS, WINRY! YOU ARE NOT LEAVING THIS TOWER, EVER!" Lust screamed.

"Oh, great. Now I'm the bad guy." She shrugged.

"All I was gonna say, mother, is that... I know what I want for my birthday, now." Winry said looking down, ashamed.

"And what is that?" The black haired woman glared at her.

"New paint. That paint made from the white shells you once brought me." She requested.

"Well that is a very long trip, Rapunzel. Almost three day's time." Lust gave her a worried look.

"I just thought it was a better idea than, stars." Winry looked up at her mother.

"You sure you'll be all right, on your own?" She asked, concerned.

"I know I'm safe, as long as I'm here." Winry hugged Lust.

"I'll be back in three days time. I love you very much, dear." She said as she pet her hair.

"I love you more." Winry rested he head on her chest.

"I love you most." She rested her head on her daughters.

Chapter 10

The door in front of Fullmetal and the three guards with him was shut. Why?

"What's this? Open up." The guard to in front of him ordered. The flap on the door opened. The old man with the handlebar moustache appeared.

"What's the password?" He asked.

"What?" The guard was confused. The guard behind Fullmetal was yanked into the air.

"Nope."

"Open this door." The guard demanded. The guard to Fullmetal's right was pulled away.

"Not even close." The old man teased.

"You have three seconds. One..." The guard to Fullmetal's left was lifted upwards. "Two..." The guard to Fullmetal's right was pulled away. "Three..." The guard turned around to see just Fullmetal, who just gave him a small wave and and awkward smile. The door behind him opened and the guard got hit over the head with a wrench.

"Wrenches. Who knew, right?" The small man joked. They all began running towards the outside where the one with glasses pushed Fullmetal onto a mounted beam of wood.

"Head down." He instructed.

"Head down." Fullmetal repeated.

"Arms in."

"Arms in."

"Knees apart"

"Knees apart. Knees apart? Why do I need to keep my..." the man was cut off when some of the thugs jumped on the board, catapulting him into the air.

"AHHHHHHHH!" He screamed, but maintained the position. He ended up landing on Mustangs back.

"You brought them here?" Fullmetal asked. Mustang neighed to say yes. "Thank you." Mustang glared at him. "No really, thank you. Uh, I feel maybe this whole time we've just been misunderstanding one another." Mustang gave him the 'really?' face. "And we really just, yeah you're right. We should go." The horse started running towards the edge. "Mustang! WHOAAAAA!" He yelled as Mustang jumped across the rooftop into the city square.

"Okay Mustang, lets see how fast you can run." He and Mustang ride through the city square, the forest and then they arrive at the hidden gorge. Fullmetal hops off of Mustang and walks towards the tower.

"Winry? Winry, let down your hair." He yelled. No response. That's not good. He starts his climb up the wall when her golden hair falls from above. Fullmetal grabs it and begins his climb up the mossy walls. He jumps through the tower window.

"Winry, I thought I'd never see you again." He breathed out in happines, but gasped as he saw her in the floor, tied up and gagged. He lets out a pained gasp, and falls to to the floor in pain. Why was his stomach hurting so much? And why was there blood?

Winry yells Fullmetal's name name through her gag, on the verge of tears. He can't die!

"Now look what you've done, Winry. Oh don't worry dear. Our secret will die with him. And as for us? We are going where no one will ever find you, again." She pulls the rope she tied Winry up with, while the girl was kicking and screaming to get away. "WINRY, REALLY! ENOUGH ALREADY! STOP. FIGHTING ME!" Winry's gag fell down.

"NO! I won't stop. For every minute of the rest of my life I will fight. I will never stop trying to get away from you. But, if you let me save him... I will go with you." She pleaded.

"No. No, Winry..." Fullmetal moaned out, unable to do much more because of the pain.

"I'll never run, I'll never try to escape. Just let me heal him. And you and I will be together. Forever, just like you want. Everything will be the way it was. I promise. Just like you want. Just let me heal him." She was crying buckets now. Lust gave in. She she handcuffed Fullmetal to the wall.

"In case you get any ideas about following us." She snarled at the man.

"Edward! Oh, I'm so sorry. Everything is going to okay, though." She reassured, with a sad smile.

"No, Winry!" Fullmetal tried to stop her. He didn't want her to be in captivity for the rest of her life.

"I promise, you have to trust me."

"No...I can't let you do this."

"But I can't let you die."

"But if you do this..."

"Shhh." She pressed a finger to his lips to shut him up.

"Then you...will die." He continued anyway.

"Hey. It's gonna be all right."

"Winry, wait..." Fullmetal stops her again. Even if she did save him, he'd die anyway by being hung. It was better if he bled out. At least when he died here the last he'd see is the woman he loved.

"Edward, what..." Winry whispers. Sacrificing his last ounce of strength, he grabs Winry's hair and slices it with a broken mirror shard. Her hair instantly turned a light brown and Lusts eyes widened because she began ageing rapidly as the girls hair lost its power. Fullmetal smiled weakly. He had set her free.

"NOOO! No...NO! What have you done? WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!" Lust screamed in anguish. She turned to look at the broken mirror, only to see her aged reflection. "No, no, no, NOOO!"

As Lust stumbles backwards towards the open window, dying, Al drags Winry's hair. The woman foot got caught in the hair and she fell out of the window, her body decaying into tiny bits of dusts. Winry runs to the window to see the woman's cloak fall to the ground and then rushes back to Fullmetal.

"No, no, no, no, Edward...." she begs. The man's head turns to the side but she grabs it and pulls him to look at her.

"Oh, look at me, look at me, I'm right here. Don't go, stay with me, Edward...."

Flower gleam and glow...

Let your powers shine...

Make the clock reverse...

Bring back what once was mine..." she sobs. She couldn't do anything. She couldn't save him. He would die and it'll be her fault. She would be stuck in this tower with no way out and the lifeless body of the man she loves.

"Winry..." Fullmetal muttered weakly.

"what...?" She asks, crying.

"...you were my new dream..." Winry sniffs.

"...and you were mine." Fullmetal succumbs to his fate and Winry's heart breaks into a million pieces, never to be rebuilt. Al looked on in sadness.

"Heal what has been hurt...

Change the fates' design...

Save what has been lost...

Bring back what once was mine..." she tries again, only for nothing to happen. The pain is to much so she sobs out the last lyric.

"...what once was mine..." her tears drop onto Fullmetal's face, onto his cheeks. Winry's eyes were shut tight as she mourned the loss. So, she didn't see the sun-shaped glow on Fullmetal's cheek where the tears fell.  Gold and white light emerges from the the wound and stretches across the tower. The man's wound heals and the light enters back into his wound. His eye open.

"Winry?" He asked weakly.

"Edward." She gasped.

"Did I ever tell you, I've got a thing for brunettes?" He chuckled.

"Edward!" She beamed. She grabbed him and turned them over, connecting their lips. It was pure bliss. Something the both of them had been waiting for awhile.

In a room in the castle stood two people. A man and a woman. The King and Queen. Comforting each other. A guard rushes in through the door to tell them something and then they all rush towards the balcony. Standing there on the balcony, was Winry. Tears came to their eyes as they saw her. Her mother ran up to the young woman and grabbed her, pulling her towards her in a tight hug, her father joining in. Fullmetal stood to the side, chuckling, with a wide grin on his face. Winry's father grabbed him by the wrist and pulled him into the hug. Fullmetal turned red.

"Well, you could imagine what happened next. The kingdom rejoiced. The lost Princess had returned. The party lasted an entire week. And, honestly I don't remember much of it. Dreams came true all over the place. Thanks to Mustang, crime in the kingdom disappeared almost over night. As did most of the apples. Al, never changed. At last Winry was home, and she finally had a real family. She was a Princess worth waiting for. But above all, she led her kingdom with all the grace and wisdom that her parents did before her. And as for me, well. I started going by Edward again. Stopped thieving, basically turned it all around. But I know what the big question is; did Winry and I ever get married? Well I'm pleased to tell you. After years, and years of asking, and asking, and asking. I finally said yes." He grinned.

"Edward" Winry moaned.

"All right, I asked her."

"And we're living happily ever after." They both were smiling from ear to ear, hand in hand.

Chapter 7

Winry and Fullmetal were sat on two different logs. Winry was holding Fullmetal's injured hand with hers as she wrapped her hair around it.

"So you're being strangely cryptic as you wrap your magic hair around my injured hand." He grunted in pain.

"Sorry. Just don't...don't freak out." She asked. He looked at Al worriedly but the chameleon just looked up at him with a smug grin. That scared him more.

She began to sing. The glow that came to her golden hair came back, and travelled up to the hair that was wrapped around his hand. The glow made her hair appear a yellow colour and it reminded him a lot of the sun.

After she had finished singing she pulled her hair off of his hand and he brought it up to his face to see. His eyes widened to the point where you could probably cook a full English breakfast on them. The injury had disappeared. His jaw dropped and he was going to scream.

"Please don't freak out!" She panicked. His scream got caught in his throat.

"Ahhh. I'm not freaking out, are you freaking out? No, I'm just very interested in your hair and the magical qualities that it possesses..how long has it been doing that, exactly?" He rubbed his neck nervously, ranting. Winry laughed nervously.

"Uh. Forever, I guess. Mother said when I was a baby people tried to cut it. They wanted to take it for themselves. But, once it's cut." She pulled her hair behind her ear, and a stray piece popped out. It was a light brown. "It turns brown, and looses it's power. A gift like that, it has to be protected. That's why Mother never let me...That's why I...I never left the..."

"You never left that tower. And you're still gonna go back?" He asked, finishing her sentence for her.

"No...yes. Ugh. It's complicated.

So, Edward Elric, huh." She teased him, quickly changing the subject. Fullmetal caught on to what she was doing and played along.

"Ah yeah, well. I'll spare you the sob story of poor orphan Eugene Fitzherbert, it's a little bit ah... It's a little bit of a downer." He looked to her to see if she wanted to hear his 'sob story'. She shuffled closer to him in order to hear better. Fullmetal smiled slightly.

"There was this book." He began. "A book I used to read every night to all the younger kids. The tales of The Fullmetal Alchemist. Swashbuckling rogue, richest man alive. Not bad with the ladies, either. Not that he'd ever brag about it, of course."

"Was he a thief too?" She was curious.

"Ahh, well no. Actually, he had enough money to do whatever he wanted to do. He could go wherever he wanted to go. And...and, for a kid, with nothing. I don't know, I... It just seemed like a better option. You can't tell anyone, about this, okay? It could ruin my whole reputation." He requested.

"Ahh, you wouldn't want that." She teased.

"Oh, a fake reputation is all that a man has. Um, well I should uh... I, I should get some more firewood." He got up quickly, embarrassed. Just before he could leave she grabbed his wrist.

"Hey. For the record, I like Edward Elric much better than, the Fullmetal Alchemist." She grinned at him. He gave her a small smile back.

"Well, then you'd be the first. But, thank you." He walked off. She sighed happily to herself, glad to be on this adventure, and to be what seems to be bonding, with Edward.

"Well, I thought he'd never leave." A voice from behind her said. Winry's eyes widened and she turned around so quickly it's a surprise she didn't have whiplash.

"Mother?" She asked, eyebrows furrowed, trying to see the figure that stood before her. Lust stepped out from behind the trees.

"Hello, dear." She smiled slyly at her.

"...How did you find me?" Winry stammered.

"Oh, it was easy really. I just listened to the sound of complete and utter betrayal, and followed that."

"Mother..." Winry looked down ashamed.

"We're going home. Now." The older woman demanded.

"You...You don't understand. I've been on the most incredible journey. I've seen and learned so much. I even met someone." She smiled to herself, remembering her and Edward's earlier conversation.

"Yes, the wanted thief. I'm so proud. Come on." She continued to shop Winry.

"Mother, wait. I think... I think he likes me." She beamed.

Her mother than began a lecture on how she knows best, and threw the crown at Winry, saying that he's only there because of that before leaving.

"So, hey uh, can I ask you something? Is there any chance that I'm going to get super strength in my hand? Because I'm not going to lie - that would be stupendous. Hey, you all right?" He noticed how upset she looked.

"Oh, sorry, yes. Just um, lost in thought, I guess." She reassured him to no avail. He didn't buy it. The smile she gave him didn't reach her eyes and was one of the most male ones he'd seen. Usually her smiles were beautiful. They could light up a whole room. When she smiled her eyes smiled and the rest of the world smiled along too. But he pretended to buy it. If she didn't want to tell him he wouldn't pry. As he usually would.

"I mean because here's the thing. Superhuman good looks, I've always had 'em. Born with it, but superhuman strength? Imagine the possibilities, I'm just..."

Up in the shadows, Kimblee, Lust and Tucker were all crouched behind a bush. Kimblee went to get up to attack them but Lust put her hand up as a signal to stop him.

"Patience boys. All good things to those who wait." She said. They bothe rolled their eyes. How long was this going to take? When could they finally get their revenge and rid the world of the Fullmetal Alchemist?

Chapter 6

As the two companions were walking down the dark tunnel, Fullmetal decided to make conversation.

"Well, I've gotta say. Didn't know you had that in you back there, that was pretty...impressive." He told the girl.

"I know! I know... Sooo, Fullmetal. Where are you from?" She asked.

"Whoa, whoa, sorry Blondie, I don't do back story. However I am becoming very interested in yours. Now I...I know I'm not suppose to mention the hair."

"Nope." She agreed.

"Or, the Mother." He went on.

"Uh, uh."

"Frankly I'm too scared to ask about the frog."

"Chameleon." She corrected him.

"Nuance. Here's my question, though, if you want to see the lanterns so badly, why haven't you gone before?" They had reached the end of the tunnel. They were standing on a ledge, in the middle of a huge damn, or water system.

"Uhh, hey, well..." she saw two men down below them. "Uh, Fullmetal... Fullmetal! Who's that?" She pointed to the men.

"They don't like me." He told her, grabbing her shoulder to pull her towards the exit. The alchemists appeared at the exit of the tunnel.

"Who's that?" She asked again.

"They don't like me either." Came his reply. Mustang appeared.

"Who's that?"

"Lets just assume for the moment, that everyone here doesn't like me." He yelled. Winry passed him her wrench

"Here."

She ran towards the edge. Fullmetal's eyes widened as she hooked her hair around a block of wood and swung off the ledge. He turned back to Hawkeye.

"I've waited a long time for this." She said.

All of the guards attack him. He dodged and blocks the attacks with ease using the wrench and counter-attacks. He knocks all of them out quickly.

"Oh mama, I have got to get me one of these." He yelled with joy. He turns to see Mustang holding a dagger in his mouth. The horse begins to attack him.

"HAH!" He yelled. "You should know, that this is the strangest thing I've ever done!" Mustang flings the wrench out of his hand. Fullmetal puts his hands up. "How 'bout two out of three?" Mustang holds the dagger closer to his face.

"Fullmetal!" He heard Winry yell. Suddenly, hair was wrapped around his wrist and just before he was pulled of the edge he saluted Mustang. He almost hit the ground.

"Fullmetal, look out!" Winry yelled. He tucked into a ball, barely missing the floor. He turned around to see the alchemists getting back up. He laughed. He began running over one of the water systems, it falling behind him with each step.

"HAH! You should see your faces 'cause you look..." he swung straight into a block of wood. "Ridiculous..." he groaned.

Suddenly, water began pouring out everywhere. Fullmetal and Winry ran towards what they thought was an exit, and just as they entered it, the entrance caved in, with no exit. Water was piling in. Fast. Fullmetal dove into the water to try and find a way out. He cut his hand on one of the rocks, but there was no way out. It was no use. They were just wasting time.

"It's no use, I can't see anything." He said. Winry dove in and he pulled her back up.

"Hey, there's no point. It's pitch black down there."

"This is all my fault. She was right, I never should have done this. I'm so... I'm so sorry, Fullmetal." She sobbed.

"Edward." He said suddenly.

"What?" She looked at him, puzzled.

"My real name is, Edward Elric. So you might as well know." He laughed awkwardly. Winry figured since they were sharing, why not tell him about her hair.

"I have magic hair that glows when I sing." She said, smiling gently at him.

"What?" He gasped.

"I have..." her face light up at the realisation, and she looked at him "magic hair, that glows when I sing! Flower gleam and glow. Let your power shine." The water reached the top and so they both took deep breathes and then saw her hair flow to where there was air. Fullmetal clawed at the rocks and managed to push his hand through. The rocks toppled over and they were released, both bent over and gasping desperately for air.

"We made it." She breathed out, still in shock.

"Your hair glows." Fullmetal's eyes widened.

"We're alive! We're alive!" Winry got up and started dancing, celebrating happily.

"Didn't see that coming. Her hair actually glows." He was still in shock.

"Edward..." Winry giggled.

"Why does her hair glow?" Fullmetal asked Al.

"Edward!" She shouted.

"WHAT?" He yelled back.

"It doesn't just glow." Al smiled at him. Fullmetal looked back from the chameleon to Winry, scared.

"Why is he smiling at me?"

"I'll kill him. I'll kill that Fullmetal. We'll cut him off for the kingdom. Get back the crown, come on." Kimblee yelled as he and Tucker stumbled out of a rotting tree trunk, drenched in water. Lust came out behind one of the gorgeous green trees of the forest.

"Bo-oys!... perhaps you want to stop acting like wild dogs chasing their tails, and think for a moment." They Botha pulled out daggers and got into a fighting stance, prepared to kill her if she attacked them. She laughed.

"Oh, please there's no need for that. Well if that's all you desire, then be on your way! I was going to offer you something worth one thousand crowns, would have made you rich beyond belief. And that wasn't even the best part. Oh well, C'est la vie. Enjoy your crown." She waved at them and began to walk off. The men looked at each other.

"What's the best part?" Kimblee asked her. She stopped in her tracks. She turned around with an evil grin on her face.

"It comes with revenge on the Fullmetal Alchemist."

I absolutely adore this anime and now have Sherliam brain rot.
