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 8 Masterlist

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 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."

Chapter 1 Chapter 7 Masterlist

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."
