Chapter 9

Winry opened her eyes and looked at him, confused as to why he pulled back. Did he not want this? Did he not feel the same way? Was it her? Had she completely misread the situation? When they got to shore she would ask.

"Is everything okay?" She asked, when they got off the boat, upset. He couldn't make eye contact with her. She'd definitely done something wrong. He snapped out of his thoughts.

"Huh? Oh yes. Uh, yes of course. I just...I'm sorry, everything is fine. There's just something I have to take care of." He started to walk off. Where was he going?

"Okay."

"I'll be right back." He told her. He was going to sort all of this out. She wouldn't get hurt because of him and his stupidity. She wouldn't.

"It's all right, Al." She looked down at him and then at where Fullmetal went. She trusted him. She believed that he abandon her and leave her with the satchel.

Fullmetal walked towards the shadows of the men.

"Ahh, there you are. I've been searching everywhere for you guys. Since we got separated. Hey, the sideburns are coming in nice, huh? You gotta be excited about that. Anyhow, just wanted to say, I shouldn't have split. The crown is all yours. I'll miss you, but I think it's for the... best." He threw the satchel at them.

"Holding out on us again? Hey, Fullmetal?" Kimblee smirked evilly.

"What?" He gasped. They couldn't be? No. How would they? How could they have possibly found out about her hair?

"We heard you found something. Something much more valuable than a crown. We want her, instead." His eyes widened when Tucker pinched his neck, knocking him out.

Winry was starting to worry when Fullmetal hadn't shown up for awhile. Then, she saw his shadow and sighed in relief.

"I was starting to think you ran off with the crown and left me." She laughed.

"He did." Kimblee grinned.

"What? No. He wouldn't." Winry couldn't believe it. She trusted him. And he left her by herself so these thugs could do whatever they wanted to her.

"See for yourself." He signaled to the side, and there he was, sailing away in a boat. Her eyes widened and felt tears forming.

"Edward? Edward!" She screamed, hoping for some sort of reply from him. She got nothing.

"Fair trade. A crown, for the girl with the magic hair. How much do you think someone will pay to stay young and healthy forever?" The black haired man asked his friend.

"No, please. NO! NO!" She shouted, running as fast as she could. She looked behind her to see they were chasing after her, and then she tripped on a log of wood. She heard rustling in the background as she sobbed.

"Winry!" She heard her mother yell.

"Mother?" She whimpered. Lust ran over to her and crouched down to pull the crying girl into her arms.

"Oh, my precious girl. Are you all right? Are you hurt?"

"How did you?" Winry asked.

"I was so worried about you dear. So I followed you. And I saw them attack you. Let's go, let's go before they come to." She ushered the girl into the forest.

"You were right, mother. You were right about everything."

"I know darling. I know."

On the boat, Fullmetal was coming to. When he realised where he was he pulled against his restraints. The boat hit the side of something. He looked up. Crap.

"Look! The crown." A guard yelled.

He was getting taken through a hallway filled with prisoners behind bars. He kept pulling at his restraints and pushing the guards away to no avail.

"Winry. WINRY! Wait, wait, wait. Guys, guys. Winry!" He yelled.

"Let's get this over with, Fullmetal." One of the guards said to him. He raised an eyebrow.

"Where are we going?" He looked through the window and saw a hanging station. "Oh..."

Back in the tower Lust and Winry were sat on Winry's bed. Lust pulled out the last flower out of her hair.

"There, it never happened. Now, wash up for dinner. I'm making hazelnut soup." She looked at her daughter and bit the inside of her lip. "I really did try, Rapunzel. I tried to warn you, what was out there. The world is dark, and selfish, and cruel. If it finds even the slightest ray of sunshine, It destroys it."

In the prison Fullmetal was getting taken to his sentence when he saw Kimblee and Tucker next to him. He elbowed one of the guards and shoved the other and ran towards the two men. He grabbed Kimblee by the collar.

"How did you know about her?! Tell me, now!" He demanded.

"It wasn't us! It was the old lady!" Kimblee shouted back, terrified of the little man on the other side of the bars.

"Old lady? Wait, no, wait! You don't understand, she's in trouble. Wait!" He gasped, struggling against the guards again.

Winry was laying down, holding the handkerchief that Fullmetal gave her to the ceiling when she was pulled into a slideshow of memories. She gasped at the end and sat up on her bed, panting heavily.

"Winry? Winry, what's going on up there? Are you all right?" Lust asked her.

"I'm the lost princess." Winry mumbled, eyes widened in realisation.

"Please, speak up, Winry. You know how I hate the mumbling." The older woman scolded her.

"I am the lost Princess. Aren't I? Did I mumble, Mother? Or should I even call you that?" If looks could kill Lust would be in tiny little ashes on the ground.

"Winry, do you even hear yourself? Why would you ask such a ridiculous question?" Lust laughed at her stupid accusation, nervous.

"It was you! It was all, you." She pointed her finger at her 'mother'. Lust gave up the charade. There was no point anymore.

"Everything I did, was to protect you."Winry pushed her aside as she walked down the stairs, gripping her hair.

"Winry!"

"I spent my entire life!-- Hiding from people who would use me for my power."

"Winry!"

"I should have been hiding from you." She realised, and glared at the woman once more.

"Where will you go? He won't be there for you." She told her.

"What did you do to him?" She growled.

"That criminal is to be hanged for his crimes."

"No." She gasped. It was all her fault. He was going to die because of her.

"Now, now. It's all right. Listen to me. All of this is as it should be." Lust tried to approach her.

"NO! You were wrong about the world. And you were wrong about me. And I will never let you use my hair, again!" Winry yelled and stormed off.

"You want me to be the bad guy? Fine. Now I'm the bad, guy." Lust smirked evilly.

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 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."

Chapter 10

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

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

"What's the password?" He asked.

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

"Nope."

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

"Not even close." The old man teased.

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

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

"Head down." He instructed.

"Head down." Fullmetal repeated.

"Arms in."

"Arms in."

"Knees apart"

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

"I promise, you have to trust me."

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

"But I can't let you die."

"But if you do this..."

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Flower gleam and glow...

Let your powers shine...

Make the clock reverse...

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

"Winry..." Fullmetal muttered weakly.

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

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

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

"Heal what has been hurt...

Change the fates' design...

Save what has been lost...

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

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

"Winry?" He asked weakly.

"Edward." She gasped.

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

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

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

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

"Edward" Winry moaned.

"All right, I asked her."
