“WHAT WERE YOU BOTH THINKING!”

“Sorry Ma’am, we weren’t.”

“Darn right you won’t!” Edward and Toshiro were now paying for their little excursion dearly by the worst punishment ever, Winry’s wrath. Lucky Alphonse had gotten away because he was the only one without damages or injury, he looked as guilty as the other two boys, well as guilty as he could look anyway considering that he had also warned the other two.

“You!” she pointed the Edward, “Sit by that bench and don’t move a muscle till I am finished with your automail.”

“And you!” Toshiro ducked his head “Should know better than this loonytoon! Now go by Alphonse and have that injury looked at and fixed up.” She pointed to the red patch at his midsection.

Winry grinned evilly and held up a wrench, “And I expect a full story and if I’m not happy…” her eyes seemed to gleam red.

A LOOOOOOOOOONG TIME LATER…….

They worked late into morning to fix Edward’s automail. Alphonse always at the ready with tiny alchemic fixes to metal and tools, Toshiro taking some of the trouble in connecting rods and wires when Winry snoozed for a few minutes and Edward tightening whatever felt loose, both boys sporting a bruise on the head and Alphonse having a dent on the head but they were smiling all the way.

The morning was a rough one… and even that was an understatement. Edward was on his third cup of coffee and Winry looked toasted. Only Alphonse and Toshiro looked fairy normal, Toshiro had put his shirt and coat in the wash that night and had sported one of Edward’s extra black shirts because his only extras were damaged in the fight with the old man but had changed back onto it as soon as it was dried, thanking everyone.

Anyways, back on track.

“I have to really give it to you guys, personalized automail usually takes me about three days, sometimes a week, but in a day, jeese I really need sleep.” Were pretty much Winry’s first words when dawn broke.
“Well you can’t sleep now unfortunately.” Edward glumed, Winry had decided to return to Edward’s and Toshiro’s new base in central. At the moment, they were headed to the train station.
“Hey, did anyone know what happened to that Prince,” Alphonse looked around and sighed, “And for a matter, where is Storm as well?” Only then did both Winry and Edward look back.

Winry’s eye twitched, “Did I ever tell you that he’s like a shadow, gone when told and suddenly there out of nowhere when you need him.”

Just as Winry’s statement ended, two thugs sounded infront of them and a soft rustle of cloth followed. “No, I wear to much white to be a shadow, so unfortunately that can’t work. They spun around to see Toshiro kneeling on the ground and two bodies slowly moving on the ground, specifically two certain assassins from yesterday.

"True." Edward agreed. "Soooo, what's the deal with these two?"

"They've been following us for a while now."

"Please help us." They bowed.The four raised their eyebrows. "The young master, he has been taken by the patrollers of this place."

"Well that can't be help, send the prince our well wishes when he's out." Winry stated with a smile, with that, they left.

A sigh, a soft mutter of 'well that was expected' and with a rustle of cloth, they were gone.

Not long after, they boarded the train and was headed on their long journey to central.
