My Alchemic Romance 4
Chapter 4 : An Understanding Heart
Winry walked through the same hallway she took everytime she visited, same elevator, same concrete path. This time, she would be staying for a while longer. A week at most. She hasn't seen the boys in over three months, she felt a visit was in order. Her luggage was about to burst out of it's seams, god only knows what she had in there. Eventually, she came to the door labeled : "Elric Apt." she knocked three times, waiting for a response. She knocked again, madami agitated this time. She scowled at the door knob, whipping out her box of tools from her luggage, she dismantled the knob. The now knob-less door creaked open. Two brothers were met with an angry Winry. A "You're in HUGE trouble" look on her face, knob in hand. "Boys, your knob seems to be busted." she looked down at the few screws in her palm. "Maybe somebody should fix that." she tossed it to Edward. "WHAT THE HELL WINRY! YOU HAVE A KEY!" Her eyes grew wide as she fondled through her pocket "Oh, yeah......my bad...." she smiled an innocent smile, she knew she would be off the hook. Edward noticed her outrageously large luggage case. "Do you have a dead body in there or something?" Winry put on a serious face and deadpanned: "Very funny alchemy fr-" she craned her head around Alphonse, googling at the girl susunod to him. Alphonse caught her stare, elbowing Charlotte. "huh?" she looked to Winry, who gave her that "Who the hell are you and why are you in my place?" look. charlotte leapt to her feet. "Oh, I'm sorry, I'm Charlotte." Winry eyed her suspiciously. Edward jumped in "Winry, she has Nawawala her memory, we were put in charge of her." The girl with pin straight hair looked relieved, then shook Charlottes hand. "She looks just like you Winry..." She almost inhaled all the oxygen in the entire room and let out a wail. "You're absolutely right! Oh my gosh! You have the prettiest hair, you HAVE to let me braid it sometime!" Winry enveloped her in a neck-snapping hug, clearly, she was the touchy-feely type. "T-thank you...?" was all she could muster with the remainder of air in her lungs. "Winry!" Alphonse called to her. "She needs air." She gasped again, releasing her grasp on poor, now blue Charlotte. "I'm so sorry!!!!!" she wined and hung her head. It was going to be a long week.
The brothers sat quietly in the cafeteria, with one blabbering girl beside them, the other just nodding every now and then. "Oh! charlotte Wintercrest! I heard what happened! How tragic!" Edward groaned at the familiar voice. "Hey Armstrong...." The bald man tore off all his clothes and posed for her. "Maybe this flawless body will jog your memory!" Charlotte sat, awestruck at the naked man. "Uhhh..... Did he have to strip...?" Winry sighed and placed an arm under her chin "Its what he does." Charlotte turned back to the man "You know, I remember everything now, thank you!" The group looked incredulously to her. "I knew it would work! Your ever so welcome!" Armstrong knelt and kissed her hand before trotting away. "Nice!" Edward chuckled and high-fived her. Once their hands touched, Charlotte's eyes grew wide. Every memory from Edward was passed on into her mind, like the larawan she saw at the gate. The iris of her eyes shrunk into the whites of her eyes, a shockwave of energy exchanged between the two. "You've seen it too....." charlotte spoke softly, then fled the room.
They returned to the apartment, but no charlotte or even a trace of her. "I think I should return home, until you find her. And when you do, call me." "Bye Winry." Al said. Edward shifted around in his upuan "We have checked everywhere in Central, asked everyone in Central. What now?" Alphonse stood to his feet, noisily. "We can't let Roy know about this...." Edward snapped his fingers. "Right, let's look through town."
"Brother, I'm afraid we won't find her!" Alphonse squeaked. The shorter teen leading their search-and- rescue whipped around and sinabi sternly "I'm not going tahanan until I find her!" as soon as he ended his sentence, it started pouring. Edward trudged forward, passing every shop, looking in every window, and down every alley. Eventually, they came to the edge of town, where "Lacy Park" was located. "Charlotte!" a girl looked up from the fountain in the center of the park, her face tear-stained. Edward ran to her side. "What the hell is the matter with you?! You could get sick out here!" Charlotte simply looked up at him, she was a train wreck to put it lightly. "Y-you s-s-s-saw truth too......" Ed's eyes grew wide, he sputtered out walang tiyak na layunin noises. "Dont cry Charlotte. It will all work out. I promise."Alphonse comforted her. She laid her head onto the rim of the fountain and closed her eyes. "She's sleeping Al." Ed removed his amerikana and covered her, sheltering her from the rain. Alphonse bent down and swept her up in his arms.
They made it back to HQ, charlotte sound asleep in Al's arms. Maes peeked around the corner of his office. "I see you have taken a liking to her." Edward just brushed past him, Alphonse stopped to greet Hughes. "Aww, you even have her your coat. How sweet!" Edward stopped dead in his tracks. "It's not like that! She fell asleep and-" "What will your girlfriend say?! Unless now SHE'S your girlfriend. Hmmmmm?" Alphonse sighed "We found her in the park. Sleeping in the rain." Hughes smoothed down her moist hair. "She's a good kid, you had better keep track of her, you know how Roy is." "Al!" His younger brother called. "Coming!" he turned to hughes "Thank you sir, bye now."
Edward arrived at her apartment, hos brother a few feet behind. "But, we don't have her key."Al looked down at the sopping wet girl in his arms. "And I don't want to invade her privacy....by...you know, looking for it." Edward sighed and shook his head. "She'll stay with us." He unlocked the door and pulled back the sheets to his own bed. "Put her here, I'll sleep on the couch." Alphonse did as he was told and went to his bed. After five minutos of silence, he spoke. "Brother, " He answered with a simple "Mmm?". "That was a good thing you did today." Edward rolled over and turned down the t.v. "Yea." he folded his hands behind his head "You must really care for her." "Al! I don't even know her!" Al clanked around "But, you gave her your jacket. You don't even give Winry your ja-" "DROP IT AL!" Edward rolled over with a huff "Good night."
