Chapter 1 Chapter 9 Masterlist

Chapter 8

It was dusk when Fullmetal woke up to a wet liquid on his face. He opened his eyes to see Mustang standing over him, panting.

"Hmm, what? Well I hope you're here to apologize." Mustang attacked him. Winry woke up to Fullmetal's screams. "AHHHH! No, no put me down. NO, NO!"

"Release him." She now stood in front of Mustang, pointing downwards. He dropped Fullmetal but still held his boot in his mouth.

"OW!" Fullmetal yelled as he hit the ground. Winry saw that his foot was shiny and gasped. Now she understood what he meant back in the pub about getting his limbs back. He was missing a leg. That also explains why he was always covering up everything. Mustang tried to attack Fullmetal again when he blew a raspberry at him.

"Whoa! Whoa, whoa-whoa-whoa. Easy boy, easy, calm down. Easy boy. Easy. That's it. Now sit. Sit. Good, now drop the boot. Drop it." She demanded. He obeyed and dropped the leather boot in the floor and Fullmetal scrambled to grab it.

"Oh, you are such a good boy. Yes you are. You all tired, chasing the bad man all over the place?"

"Excuse me?" Fullmetal asked, offended.

"Nobody appreciates you, do they? Do they?" She rubbed under his chin and he neighed happily in content.

"Come on, he's a bad horse." He complained.

"Aw, he's nothing but a big sweetheart. Isn't that right?" She looked at his collar. "Mustang."

"You've got to be kidding me." He rolled his eyes. She completely ignored him and started talking to the horse next to him.

"Look, today is kinda the biggest day of my life. And I need, I need you not to get him arrested. Just for twenty four hours and then, you can chase each other to your hearts content. Okay? And it's also my birthday. Just so you know." She told him. Mustang continued to glare but neighed to tell her that he wouldn't get him arrested.

"Thank you." She walked off and when he knew she wouldn't turn around, Mustang kicked Fullmetal in the stomach. Fullmetal fell to the floor and groaned in pain.

When they entered the kingdom people kept getting caught in Winry's hair. They had to pile it up and carry it and run. Fullmetal looked around as best as he could with the hair in his arms, covering his eyes. He looked to the side to see four little girls plaiting each other's hair. He dropped Winry's hair and whistles to them. Winry looked behind her because she felt a weight and looked to see the four girls running over to Fullmetal. He pointed to Winry's hair and their eyes lit up with excitement. What was he saying to them and why did he point to her hair?

Turns out they wanted to plait it. It would make it a lot easier to move around. So, she let them. They found an area with not many people and the started to plait her hair, putting all kinds of plants and flowers into her hair as well. After they were finished, she went to find Fullmetal. When she did, she did a little twirl to show all of the flowers. She looked absolutely gorgeous. Like a goddess. Scratch that. She was a goddess. Her beauty rivalled that of Aphrodite.

The two of them, with Mustang and Al, walked around the kingdom, going to all kinds of different stalls. Fullmetal ended up buying a hand-sewn handkerchief with the kingdoms symbol on it. He turned around to give it to Winry only to see her gone and a huge crowd forming. He pushed his way through the crowd to see her grinning from ear to ear while dancing with the other civilians. He smiled widely. He didn't know why, but he really liked to see her happy. She skipped over to him and pulled him to join her in the line of people dancing. He laughed and joined her.

When night fell, he took her to the edge of the kingdom, where there was a boat waiting. They both got in but Mustang had to wait where they were before.

"Hey Mustang." He looked up at Fullmetal and then down when a bag of red apples where thrown in front of him. He gave the blonde a look.

"What? I bought them." He narrowed his eyes at him suspiciously before leaning down to take a bite of one.

"Most of them." His head snapped up as fast as lightening. The man laughed. He yelled when he got hit in the head by one of the apples and Winry giggled. Fullmetal turned to glare at Mustang when Winry grabbed him by the shoulder.

"Where are we going?"

"Well, best day of your life. I figured you should have a decent seat.

You okay?" He noticed the nervous look on her face.

"I'm terrified."

He cocked his head to the side.

"Why?"

"I've been looking out the window for eighteen years. Dreaming about what it would feel like when those lights rise in the sky. What if it's not everything that I dreamed it would be?" She was rubbing her hands together while looking up at him with her big blue eyes. He grabbed her hands.

"It will be." He reassured her.

"And what if it is? What then?"

"Well that's the good part, I guess. You get to go find a new dream." He smiled at her lovingly.

She had given him the satchel. But he wasn't happy. He didn't want it. Because that would mean they would separate and he might never see her again.

The lights were beautiful. Absolutely gorgeous. But he couldn't really focus on them. He was too busy looking at the woman in front of him. She was in complete awe at the lights. He pulled the two lanterns he had hidden to surprise her with out. She gasped when the man tapped her on the shoulder and she saw the lanterns. They both lit them up and set them free to roam the sky, without a care in the world.

Fullmetal grabbed Winry by the chin and they both leant in, both wanting this, both wanting to be together. Just before he shut his eyes and their lips made contact, he caught a glimpse of two men. Kimblee and Tucker. He gasped and pulled back, disappointed and scared. Scared that Winry would get hurt. Because of him.

Chapter 4

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 1 Chapter 6 Masterlist

Chapter 5

Fullmetal was hanging by the arrows he had stuck into the stones.

"You coming, Blondie?"

Winry jumped, her hair in the loop she used to pull her mother up. She fell all the way down but stopped just before her feet could touch the ground. The grass was a lush green, and looked so soft. She gulped. Her feet grazed the grass and giggled. It tickled her feet like little feathers. Once her feet were on the ground she wiggled her toes around to get used to the feeling of the grass. She grinned from ear to ear. Finally. After eighteen years. She was outside!

Over the next few hours Winry's emotions were going haywire and in all honesty, Fullmetal was kind of sick of it.

She went from disbelief and 'I can't believe I did this' to concern and 'Mother will be so furious' to

'That's okay though, what she doesn't know won't kill her, right?' and 'Oh my gosh, this will kill her.' to 'THIS IS SO FUN!' and back to 'I am a horrible dauughter, I'm going back.' and then back to 'I am never going back!' again. Then came the self-loathing of 'I am a despicable human being.' and then she went back to happiness of 'WAHHOOOOO! Best day, ever!'

Now, here we are, with Winry crouched down leaning against a rock, sobbing. Fullmetal sighed and cleared his throat.

"You know, I can't help but notice, you seem a little at war with yourself, here." He mentioned to the other blonde.

"Really?" She looked up at him in awe of his 'observational' skills.

"Now, I'm only picking up bits and pieces. Overprotective mother, forbidden road trip. This is serious stuff. But let me ease your conscience. This is part of growing up. A little rebellion, a little adventure. That's good, healthy even." He told her. Winry laughed.

"You think?" She gave him a weak smile.

"I know. You're way over thinking this, trust me. Does your mother deserve it? No Will this break her heart and crush her soul? Of course. But you just got to do it."

"Break her heart?" Her eyes widened.

"In half." He stated while rolling a grape around on the stone.

"Crush her soul?"

"Like a grape." He squeezed the grape between his fingers until it burst.

"She would be heart broken, you're right."

"I am, aren't I?" He laughed. "Oh, bother. All right, I can't believe I'm saying this, but...I'm letting you out of the deal."

"What?" Winry looked at him in disbelief.

"That's right. But don't thank me. Let's just turn around, and get you home, here's your wrench, here's your frog. I get back my satchel. You get back a mother daughter relationship based on mutual trust and viola!" He waved his hand. "We part ways as unlikely friends." He put his out for a handshake.

"No, I am seeing those lanterns." She insisted. Fullmetal face twisted into one of frustration and he waved his arms about, annoyed.

"Oh, come on!" He yelled "What is it going to take to get my satchel back?"

Winry held her wrench up to his neck. "I will use this." He put his hands up in defence. The bushes beside them rustled and Winry screamed. She ran behind Fullmetal and jumped on to him, pointing her wrench at the bushes, her body scrambling to stay upright while holding onto him.

"Is it, ruffians, thugs? Have they come for me?!" She yelled, panicked. A rabbit hopped out of the bush.

"Stay calm, it can probably smell fear." Fullmetal told her, his voice void of any emotion.

"Oh, sorry. Getting just a little bit, jumpy." She laughed nervously, and rubbed the back of her neck.

"Probably be best if we avoid ruffians and thugs, though." The blonde man smirked.

"Yeah, that's probably best."

"Are you hungry? I know a great place for lunch." He suddenly suggested. Winry's stomach grumbled, and only then did she realise that she was starving.

"Where?" She asked.

"Oh, don't you worry. You'll know it when you smell it."

Lust was walking around the forest, basket in hand and hood pulled over her head, when Mustang suddenly jumped out of the bushes, smelling the dirt below him.

"Oh, a Palace horse." Then she realised. "Where's your rider?" She looked back in the direction of the tower. "Winry."

She ran. She ran as fast as the wind could take her. As fast as lightning. She tripped on her cloak a few times but gathered herself quickly before continuing. When she reached the base of tower she yelled "WINRY! Winry let down your hair!"

There was no answer. Lust panicked and ran towards the back of the tower, The overgrown vines that were there was covering a secret entrance, and old wooden door. She burst in and ran to her daughters room.

"Winry?" Still no answer.

"WINRY? WINRY!" She continued to yell. Still no answer. She ran around the tower, ransacking everything to find something, some sort of note from Winry to know where she was possibly, or a clue as to where she went or who took her precious daughter.

Winry and Fullmetal were walking around, Fullmetal guiding Winry with his hands lying on her lower back.

"I know it's around here, somewhere." He mumbled, eyes wandering looking for the place he was taking her for lunch. "Ah, there it is. The Snuggly duckling." There was a concerned look on Winry's face. "Don't worry, very quaint place, perfect for you. Don't want you scaring, and giving up on this endeavor now do we?"

"Well, I do like ducklings." The woman chuckled nervously.

"YAY!" He opened the door. "Scar, your finest table, please." Winry gasped. There were ruffians and criminals everywhere.

"You smell that? Take a deep breath through the nose. Really, let that seep in. What are you getting?" He asked her, pushing her through the crowd of rogues. "Because to me, it's part man smell and the other part is really bad man smell. I don't know why, but overall, it smells like the color brown. Your thoughts?" He continued.

"That's a lot of hair." A large man said, holding her golden hair. Winry screamed and ran, her hair flowing through his hands like a river, never stopping.

"She's growing it out, is that blood on your moustache? Goldie, look at this, look at all the blood on his moustache. Good sir, that's a lot of blood." He told the man. He noticed that Winry was looking queasy, as if she'd chuck up a waterfall.

"Hey, you don't look so good, Blondie. Maybe we should get you home. Call it a day. Probably better off. This is a five star joint after all. And if you can't handle this place, well maybe you should be back in your tower." As he was guiding her towards the exit, one of the men slammed the door shut.

"Is this you?" He growled, holding up a poster of what Winry assumed to be Fullmetal, the only difference being the fact that he had a Pinocchio nose.

"Ugh, now they're just being mean." He groaned.

"Oh, it's him all right. Isaac, go find some guards. That reward is going to buy me new glasses." Another one of them said.

"I can use the money." Another chimed.

"What about me? I'm broke. GET BACK!!" One yelled from the back. A brawl broke out, each one of them throwing and pulling Fullmetal about.

"Please, stop!" Winry yelled, worried for his safety and how she would cope getting to see the lights without his help.

"We can work this out." They we're stretching him out like he was some elastic toy.

"Hey, leave him alone." She shouted.

"Please." Fullmetal begged.

"Give me back my guide!! Ruffians!!" She started pulling them off of Fullmetal. She stood on top of one of the wooden tables and screamed at the top of her lungs.

"Put him down! Okay, I don't know where I am, and I need him to take me to see the lanterns, because I've been dreaming about them my entire life. Find your humanity! Haven't any of you ever had a dream?"

All of the thugs looked at her, and then they began to say all of their dreams. One just wanted to find love and have children, another wanted to reconnect with his family again, and one wanted to be a florist. Winry also found out that Fullmetal wanted to know about a gemstone in order to get his limbs back, and to be rich.

"I found the guards!" The guy known as 'Issac' shouted as he slammed open the door.

"Where's Ryder, where is he? I know he's in here somewhere. Find him, turn the place upside down if you have to!" Hawkeye yelled to her guards. The thug with the glasses took them to the back of the place and showed them a secret escape entrance. He signaled for them to go down.

"Go, live your dream." He told them.

"I will." Fullmetal said, nodding to him.

"Your dream stinks, I was talking to her."

"Thanks for everything." Winry said, and kissed him on the cheek before going down the hole. He waved to them and shut the flap.

"I believe this is the man you're looking for." Isaac held up a small man with glasses and a handlebar moustache.

"You got me." He held up his hands.

"Ma'am, there's no sign of Fullmetal." A guard said. Suddenly, the door flung open and Mustang stomped through the door. He started sniffing the floor.

"Mustang. What he's doing?" One of the guards asked.

"A passage, come on men, let's go. Jean, make sure those boys don't get away." Hawkeye ordered. Kimblee elbowed Jean in the stomach and grabbed his spear, breaking Tucker's handcuffs. Tucker then broke his.

"Play it safe. Or go get the crown." Kimblee told him.

Outside of the bar, the short, grey haired man was leaning against the wall, when he saw Lust.

"Ohhh, somebody get me a glass. 'Cause I just found me a tall drink of water." He flirted. Lust covered her mouth as she laughed.

"Oh stop it, you big lug." Her face suddenly fell and she pulled a knife out and held it to the man's face. "Where's that tunnel lead out?" She demanded.

Chapter 2 Masterlist

Chapter 1

"This is the story of how I died. Don't worry, this is actually a very fun story. And the truth is, it isn't even mine. This is the story of a girl, named Winry. And it starts, with the sun. Now, once upon a time, a single drop of sunlight fell from the heavens." A voice narrated.

A golden droplet falls from the sky and hits the ground, a soft glow spreading through the soil.

"And from this small drop of sun, grew a magic, golden, flower." It continued.

The glow grew into a beautiful, colourful flower.

"It had the ability to heal the sick, and injured."

An old, hunched over woman climbed towards the flower, hobbling.

"Oh, you see that old woman, over there? You might want to remember her. She's kind of important."

The old lady reaches for the flower, her wrinkly hands opening to grasp it. "Well, centuries passed and a hop skip and a boat ride away there grew a kingdom. The kingdom was ruled by a beloved King and Queen. And the Queen, well she was about to have a baby, and she got sick, really, sick. She was running out of time. And that's when people usually start to look for a miracle. Or in this case, a magic golden flower."

The elderly women returned with her lamp, it emitting a faint green glow. "Ahhh, I told you she'd be important. You see instead of sharing the Sun's gift, this woman, the homunculus, Lust, hoarded its healing power and used it to keep herself young for hundreds of years. And all she had to do was sing a special song."

"Flower gleam and glow, let your power shine. Make the clock reverse, bring back what once was mine, what once was mine." Lust sung.

"All right, you get the gist. She sings, she turns young. Creepy, right?" The narrator speaks.

A guard stumbled up the hill, head-turning rapidly in search of a cure. His eyes widen as he sees the gleaming flower.

"We found it!" he yelled, calling his comrades to come join him in digging up the flower.

"The magic of the golden flower, healed the queen. A healthy baby girl, a princess was born. With beautiful golden hair. I'll give you a hint. That's Winry. To celebrate her birth, the King and Queen launched a flying lantern into the sky. For that one moment, everything was perfect. And then that moment ended."

Lust, obviously aged, jumped over the castle bannister, slowly pushed the humongous nursery door open, and crept into the room.

Winry is sleeping softly the whole time in her crib, unaware of the decrepit women in her room. Lust slowly reaches into the infants crib, and softly grabs a strand of her hair. Reaching into her cloak, she pulls out a pair of glinting scissors.

"Flower, gleam and glow, let your powers shine, make the clock re----"she gasped, shocked about a few strands of the baby's hair, that had turned brown, and let it drift to the mattress, completely useless and drained of power.

"Lust broke into the castle and stole the child. Just like that... gone. The Kingdom searched and searched, but they could not find the Princess. For deep within the forest, in a hidden tower, Lust raised the child as her own."

In a large tower, hidden away from the world, Lust sat at her throne-like chair, gingerly pulling a brush through the child's gorgeous, golden locks.

"...save what was lost, bring back what once was mine, what once was mine." Winry sung, looking at the flowing flames in the fireplace.

"Lust had found her new magic flower. But this time she was determined to keep it hidden." the narrator recited.

"Why can't I go outside?" Winry inquired, curiously.

"The outside world is a dangerous place. Filled with horrible, selfish people. You must stay here, where you're safe. Do you understand, flower?" Lust demanded, ceasing to brush the young girls hair.

"Yes, Mommy." the child answered.

"But the walls of that tower could not hide everything. Each year on her birthday, the King and Queen released thousands of lanterns into the sky in hope that one day, their lost Princess would return." the voice pursued.

A green chameleon ran out onto the windowsill, and ran to hide behind a flower pot. He camouflaged himself to match the flower pot, in hopes that no one will see him.

Winry shoves the curtains to the sides, letting the light shine into the tower.

"HAH! Hmm, Well... I guess Al's not hiding out here."

Al chuckles slightly, under the impression that she hadn't seen him. Something then suddenly fastened around his ankle. Something soft. Something silky. Something gold. And then it yanked. And Al shrieked.

"GOTCHA!!! That's twenty two for me. How about twenty-three, out of forty-five?" Winry requested as she turned to look at Al's pouting face.

He shakes his head no, declining her request.

"Okay, well, what do you want to do?" Al points his jade tail out the window, indicating that he wants to go outside. "Yeah, I don't think so. I like it in here and so do you." she points at Al. He pouts.

"Oh, come on Al, it's not so bad in there." she points towards the inside of the tower.

A top a giant castle, leaping across the ultramarine tiles, three figures stop and stand, one shorter than the others, younger too.

The young man leant against a pillar, his golden hair flowing in the wind. "Wow! I could get used to a view like this." he awed, irritating the two behind him.

"Fullmetal, come on." his accomplice demanded, his long black ponytail taken by the wind.

"Hold on. Yep, I'm used to it. Guys, I want a castle." The man known as 'Fullmetal' beamed.

"We do this job, you can buy your own castle." the man said, or rated at Fullmetal's inability to take the mission seriously.

The young man walks over to the open window that leads into the hall which contains their treasure, with confidence in each passing step.

He reaches the window, and is hoisted down by his two allies for the mission, as he is the smallest of the three, although he is the least trustworthy. Why else would they trust him, a petty, thug?

The alchemist standing in front of their goldmine sneezes and, being the obvious comedian he is, the blonde just has to make a joke.

"Oh, hay fever?" he jokes, amusement laced in his voice.

"Yeah." the alchemist replies and turns to look at Fullmetal, but to his surprise, he does not see him dangling from the ceiling, holding on to the pedestal for support, that he's sure is worth much more than his life, and the crown resting in his hand.

"Huh?" The alchemist takes a double-take, unsure of what he saw. He turns around fully and his eyes widen as he sees that the crown his gone. A wave of panic sets in as he looks around frantically, until he look up, and catches a glimpse of Fullmetal's boot leaving the window.

"Wait, what? Hey, wait!" He yelled

The short man an his two taller associates leapt between the rooftops. The two were getting very annoyed with Fullmetals constant chatter.

"Can't you picture me in a castle of my own?" Fullmetal asked, amazed at the idea that he could be as rich as a man could ask for. "I mean, I certainly can. Oh, the things we've seen and it's only eight in the morning. Gentlemen, this is a very big day."
