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."

Will you marry me, Mr Holmes?

Chapter 1 Chapter 4 Masterlist

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 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 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.
