Chapter 1 Chapter 3 Masterlist

Chapter 2

Winry stood in front of her mirror, looking at her reflection, her ocean eyes staring straight back at her. Back at her very soul.

"This is it. This is a very big day, Al." She laughed.

"I'm finally going to do it. I'm going to ask her."

"Winry! Let down your hair!" She heard her mother call from the bottom of the tower.

Winry glanced at Al, her face contorted with nervousness.

"It's time." She said. Al made a few gestures with his hands, letting her know that all will be ok. 

"I know, I know." She giggled, amused at his attempt to communicate. She pushed him towards her box of tools. "Come on, don't let her see you."

"Winry, I'm not getting any younger down here." her mother called again.

"Coming, mother." she replied.

Winry collected a bunch of her hair and chucked it through the window, letting it loose to fall down to the ground.

Lust grips it, and ties the hair into a large golden loop, and carefully places her foot in it.

She gives Winry a thumbs up, and the young girl proceeds to use all of her might in order to bring the older women to their home.

"Hi, welcome home, mother." Winry greets.

"Oh, Winry. How you manage to do that every single day without fail, it looks absolutely exhausting, darling." her mother compliments, completely disregarding her daughters greeting.

"Oh, it's nothing." Winry breaths, worn out from having to lift her mother seventy feet in the air.

"Then I don't know why it takes so long." Lust laughs. "

Oh, darling. I'm just teasing."

"All right...so, mother. As you know, tomorrow is a very big day." Winry starts, uneasy.

"Winry, look at that mirror. You know what I see? I see a strong, confident, beautiful young lady. Oh look, you're here too! I'm just teasing, stop taking everything so seriously." She giggles, ignoring her daughters anxious stature.

"Okay, so mother. As I was saying, tomorrow is.." Winry starts again, but she gets interrupted by Lust once more.

"Flower, mother's feeling a little run down. Would you sing for me, dear? Then we'll talk." She demands.

"OH! Of course, mother." Winry quickly grabs her mother's chair and the stool that she uses, and shove a hairbrush into her hands. She clumps a bunch of her hair onto her mother's lap and starts singing very quickly, eager to finish and ask her mother the question she's wanted to ask for a while.  "Flower gleam and glow, Let your power shine, Make the clock reverse, bring back what once was mine. Heal what has been hurt, Change the fate's design. Save what has been lost, Bring back what once was mine." she chirped.

"Winry!" Lust gasped.

Winry grasped the side of Lust's chair, rocking back and forth slightly, overcome by excitement.

"So, mother, earlier I was saying tomorrow's a pretty big day, and you didn't really respond, So I'm just going to tell you. It's my birthday! TADA!" she announces.

"No, no, no can't be. I distinctly remember. Your birthday was last year." Lust dismisses.

"That's the funny thing about birthdays. They're kind of an annual thing. Mother, I'm turning eighteen. And I wanted to ask, what I really want for this birthday. Actually, what I've wanted for...quite a few birthdays now..." Winry mumbled.

"Winry please, stop with the mumbling. You know how I feel about the mumbling. Blah, blah, blah,...blah. It's very annoying. I'm just teasing, you're adorable I love you so much, darling." The older women scolded, much to her daughters dismay.

"Oh, I want to see the floating lights." she revealed, telling her mother her dream.

"What?" Lust gasped, in disbelief at her daughters request. Winry continued.

"Oh,... Well I was hoping you would take me to see the floating lights."

"Oh, you mean the stars." Lust realised, finally understanding what she meant.

"That's the thing I've charted stars and they're always constant. But these, they appear every year on my birthday, Mother. Only on my birthday. And I can't help but feel that they're, They're meant for me. I need see them, Mother. And not just from my window. In person. I have to know what they are." the girl explained.

"You want to go outside? Oh, why Winry." she waved her hand at her, gesturing to the whole of Winry. "Look at you, as fragile as a flower. Still a little sapling, just a sprout. You know why we stay up in this tower"

"I know, but..." Winry tried to reason.

"That's right, to keep you safe, and sound, dear. Guess I always knew this day was coming. Knew that soon you'd want to leave the nest. Soon, but not yet." Lust said, disappointed.

"But..." Winry tried to reason again, getting nowhere once more.

"Mothers here to help you. All I have is one request. Winry?" Lust asks.

"Yes?"

"Don't ever ask to leave this tower, again." The woman commanded.

Winry nodded sadly

"Yes, Mother." she mumbled, upset.

"Ahh, I love you very much, dear." Lust squeezed her rosy cheeks.

"I love you more." came the girls reply.

"I love you most. Don't forget it. You'll regret it. Mother Knows best." Lust walks towards the window, getting ready to descend back to the green grass below.

"I'll see you in a bit, my flower."

"I'll be here." Winry mumbled.

The thieves ran through the forest, leaping up and sliding across the ground in order to avoid any branches. They stop before an oak tree, three pieces of paper pinned to it.

"No, no no. This is bad, this is very, very bad, This is really bad. They just can't get my nose right." Fullmetal complained.

"Who cares?" His black haired comrade asked, growing more and more irritated at his antics.

"Well it's easy for you to say. You guys look amazing." He groaned

"All right, okay. Give me a boost, and I'll pull you up." He demanded.

"Give us the satchel first." His companion ordered.

Fullmetal gave him a look of hurt and disbelief.

"Wha..? I just... I can't believe, that after all we've been together, you don't trust me. Ouch."

He put his hand on his chest, shaking his head in disapproval. How could they not trust him? Sure, he's a thief and betrays most people he knows but still?

He took off the satchel and dropped it onto Tucker's arm.

The two larger men sighed and Kimblee bent over into the hard terrain in order to hoist the younger man up. His brother climbed onto his shoulders and Fullmetal climbed up their frames, being sure to 'accidentally' kick them in the face a few times as he made his climb.

Fullmetal grasped at the top of the tiny cliff side, and used all of his remaining strength to pull the rest of himself up. He looked down at the two below.

Kimblee glared at the man.

"Now help us up, pretty boy."

Fullmetal shrugged, smirking at him, eyes full of amusement.

"Sorry, my hands are full." He showed him the satchel, that was now swinging from his pointer finger, dangling in front of them mockingly. Like he had said earlier, how could they not trust him?

"What?" He checks himself for the satchel, finding it missing "FULLMETAL!" Kimblee's voice could be heard in the distance, full of rage. Fullmetal stumbled into a trail and ran down it, as fast as the wind, with the State Alchemists hot on his tail. The lieutenant looked at the others.

"Retrieve that satchel with any force."she ordered.

"YES SIR!" Came the replies as the got their guns out and shot at Fullmetal. Just before they made contact with him, he managed to slide under a huge birch log, narrowly missing the bullets. He gasped and turned around to see the bullet holes in the log before he was running again.

They kept shooting at him as he was dodging them, weaving through the thick trees until eventually, they made it to a huge tree with many big holes in it. Fullmetal jumped through the hole while the alchemists and their horses couldn't fit through the holes in front of them.

They moved however, when they're lieutenant came charging through, and leapt straight through the middle, not even bothering to look back or to help her teammates.

Hawkeye made eye contact with her horse.

"We got him now, Mustang." she said. He neighs in response.

As Fullmetal turns the corner, desperately looking for a way of escape, he sees a vine, and grabs it, launching himself into the air. He swings around the tree it was attached to, and kicks Hawkeye off of her horse. Instead of her on the back of the horse, he now is. Realising that he landed on the horse, Fullmetal attempts to grab the reigns and make Mustang gallop forward.

"Go! Heyah! Come, fleabag, forward." Mustang was having none of it, and flung himself forward in order to get rid of the thug.

"No. No, stop it. HAH! AHHHHH!"

They continue their game of cat and mouse, Fullmetal running and Mustang chasing. The horse eventually manages to get the satchel off of Fullmetal, but unfortunately it flings too far, and lands on a very thin branch, held by a bigger, not so sturdy  branch.

Fullmetal crawls on the underside of the branch, determine to get his satchel back, while Mustang is walking across carefully, trying to pry Fullmetal's hands off, and grab the satchel as well. The branch was creaking and cracking continually while they were both on it. The thief managed to grab the satchel with his hands, but soon after, the branch snapped, and the both of them were falling down the cliff.

Fullmetal hit the ground with a thud, his backside hurting tremendously, but he had too much adrenaline running through his veins to care. He quickly got up, ignoring the pain, and the aching in his back, and ran as fast as fast as the wind could take him.

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.

Thank you to everyone who got me to 100 likes!
