~~~~~ It's Rush Valley!!!

"It's Rush Valley!"

Winry's voice has gotten high and squealy ever since we arrived in Rush Valley. It really was a paradise for automail since everything was automail.

"Oh wow it's the lastest model! I can't believe I'm seeing one up close."

"It's so hot out here!" I complained loudly.

Winry kept running around looking at all the automail.

"Wow I've never seen automail like this before."

One of the towns people stopped Ed and was looking at his automail. Soon everyone was looking at his automail. It turned into a mob.

"It's gone!" Ed shouted.

"What's gone?" We asked in unison.

"My watch. That was my proof that I'm a State Alchemist!"

"Sounds like you guys had a run in with Paninya."

"She's a pickpocket who targets tourists."

She's pretty well known with the locals here. Paninya must be really good at what she does.

"Where can we find her?"

"Well I can't remember, but I might if I take another look at that automail."

Ed transmuted his arm into a weapon.

"She lives in the mountains with a man named Dominic!"

It was possibly mid noon now. I'm not sure how long we have been walking but it's terribly hot. The guy lives really far into the mountains.

"Are you sure that they didn't just trick us?" Winry asked.

"It's you're fault I never wanted to come here in the first place!" Ed yelled at her

"My fault? You're the one who lost you're watch!"

"Um guys?"

"What Al?" they yelled together.

"Paninya!"

Without giving it a second thought I jumped of the cliff side and transmuted it. Paninya started running and I came after her.

"It's too hot to keep running after you!"

"But if I gave up it wouldn't be any fun!"

A wall appeared in front of us.

"I want my watch back!"

"Wow Mr. that's so cool how'd ya do that?"

"I'm an alchemist!"

Ed transmuted the ground to grab her but she easily dodged.

"Wow so cool."

She got past the wall and was even further away.

"Stop moving!"

"What's wrong? Can't catch a little girl?"

I kept following her. When Ed and I got to where she was Al had already trapped her.

"Nice work Al!"

Ed celebrated a little too soon. Paninya cut through the cage with her right leg.

"Don't act so surprised. You've seen the town haven't you?"

She shot a cannon out of her other leg and started running when Winry caught her. Though she only caught her to look at her automail.

"Paninya you're back."

A nice looking couple was at the door.

"Can I have some water?" I panted.

"Sure please come in."

"Haru that's rude!" Al called after me.

"No what's rude is having someone run around in this heat!"

The nice lady gave me some water that was super great. Then her husband took me to where everyone else was.

"It might be stunting his growth."

"So you mean that if my automail was lighter I would grow taller?"

"It's a possibility."

Ed looked like he was praising the thought of being taller. Now that I think about it he's even shorter than Winry and I.

"Mr. Dominic please make me you're apprentice!" Winry asked.

"No chance."

Harsh, I wanted to go and find the nice lady again. I found her in a room stroking her stomach gently.

"Wow. Are you going to have a baby?"

"Yes I am."

"Wow I hope I get to see your baby one day."

"Well if you stay long enough you might get to I'm due anytime now."

"Can I touch your tummy?"

Al was behind me dragging Ed with him.

"Sure go ahead."

"Me too."

Al and I touched her stomach then the nice lady got Ed to as well.

"Wow there's a tiny person inside of you," I said in awe.

"We were like mom inside this to."

The nice lady made a pained facial expression.

"Are you alright?" Ed asked.

"Yes I'm fine."

"I was joking nice lady. Please don't go into labor right now. That would be scary."

She made and even scarier noise.

"It's coming!" She screamed.

I ran. Like a crazy person to Winry. When she found out we all went to see what we could do to help.

"In a storm like this we can't get her to the doctor so I'll go fetch him myself."

Mr. Dominic had only been gone a short while and the nice lady was not so nice anymore. If he wasn't so grumpy I would have followed Dominic. I am never having kids if it's this bad.

Winry decided that we were going to have to deliver the baby. She gave us a list of things to get and we got them. Now it was all up to her. I might go and wait outside for the time being.

"Alright Paninya, Haru come and help me."

Why me?

-----------------------

I sat down by the bed trying to calm down. Paninya was lucky she got the baby after it came out. There was so much blood.... Ed and Al came in and they were super excited to see the baby. I don't think I've seen the baby yet.

"Haru?"

"Yes nice lady?"

She unexpectedly gave me her baby.

"Support the head okay?"

I did as I was told and held the baby in my arms. A tiny little miracle.

"He's cuter than I expected. No doubt you'll grow up big and strong."

I gave him back to his mom just as Mr. Dominic arrived with the doctor. I waited outside the room. This would be one day that I would never forget.

Mr. Dominic still didn't make Winry his apprentice but did say he would recommend her to someone.

We found out that there was a train leaving for Dublith soon. The next one would not come for three days. Ed, Al, I jumped on a train and were going to Dublith.

"What's your teacher like anyway?" I asked suddenly remembering why we were going.

"Well she's scary. I don't know how she'll act towards you just be prepared for anything."

"She going to kill us brother!"

"I know Al but were already almost there now."

She can't really be that scary. Right?

~~~~~ Hurray!! I took three naps today so I should be ready to watch that episode of Fullmetal coming on tomorrow!
