"Well Kristy, do you want me to show you to your room for the night? I mean it's getting a bit late." Winry said to me.

"That would be great thanks." I smiled at her, and before long I felt myself being dragged up the stairs, "what are you doing Winry?!" I screamed.

"I'm showing you the way to your room." She beamed at me.

"No your not your flipping dragging me to my room!" I screamed.

"Yes but you might trip." She smiled.

Okay, that was the last straw, I slam my feet on the ground and sit down, pulling her down with me. "I am not going to trip!"

"But where about to go upstairs you might fall on them."

"I WILL NOT FALL OVER A FEW STAIRS, I HAVE GOTTEN AROUND BY MYSELF BLIND FOR ALMOST THREE YEARS I THINK I CAN MANAGE A FEW STAIRS!" I screamed, I knew I was going over board but I didn't want to be treated like a useless child. I can, have, and will take care of myself. Ever since she found out I was blind she had been practically babying me.

"I WILL NOT FALL OVER A FEW STAIRS, I HAVE GOTTEN AROUND BY MYSELF BLIND FOR NEARLY THREE YEARS I THINK I CAN MANAGE A FEW STAIRS!" I heard Kristy scream, and that was all I had to hear for my legs to spring into action, knowing Winry, and with what I do know about Kristy this will end with one of them crying or hurt, okay this will end up with Winry crying and hurt.

I would have loved to help, but the scene I'm front of me stopped me from doing that, as soon as I saw Kristy sitting on the ground cross legged, her arms crossed and with a stubborn look on her face. Instead of helping, I burst out laughing.

"Edward what the hell are you laughing at?" I heard Kristy growl at me, I look at her to see the murderous look on her face but I couldn't stop laughing.

"You amaze me." I said still laughing, I looked at her. "What are you doing?"

"Sitting on the ground until blondie here will accept that I have gotten around by myself for three years and will NOT trip over a few stairs." She said glaring at Winry.

"Look Winry, I don't think she is going to trip over a few stairs anytime soon, I mean she can
beat me." I said smiling, and Kristy smiled towards me, a genuine smile.

"See I told you so." Kristy smiled to Winry, I just burst out laughing. "What's so funny?" She asked me.

"I don't think I will ever know what your going to do next." I said shaking my head, a smile still on my face.

"Is that good or bad?" She asked.

"Haven't decide yet." I smiled to her, I turned to see Winry fuming. "Hey Winry are you okay?"

She put on a fake smile, "absolutely positively fine, you can show Kristy to her room." She walked off.

"I think I might have gotten her mad." Kristy said.

"She'll be fine, I mean neither of us got hit with a wrench so she can't be that angry." I shrugged my shoulders.

"Yeah true." She said and then yawned.

"I think it's time for you to go to bed, I don't need you to be aggro on the train tomorrow." I said trying not to laugh.

"Yeah, well today was busy, you showing me around Resembool, even though it is small." She said smiling.

"Well just don't prove Winry right and fall over because your that tired." I said smiling.

"You wouldn't let me fall over now would you?" She asked, but said it more as a statement.

"Your right, I'd probably catch you and then take you to your room." I said laughing, but I couldn't imagine that happening.

We arrived to the door of the spare room. "Well this is where you'll be sleeping for the night."I smiled to her.

"Thanks Ed."

"You know, you calling me Ed is gonna take some getting used to." I laughed, and so did she.

"Well, I'll see you in the morning then." She smiled at me and closed the door.

"Yep, see you in the morning.

"Wake up Kristy." I heard someone say as they were shaking me.

"Hmm, who is it?" I asked groggy.

"It's me Ed, and we have to leave soon." He said shaking me some more, I realised what he said and shot up.

"Right we have to head to Central now don't we?" I asked.

"Come down and have some breakfast." He laughed.

"You know, when I first met you, you were really serious now you don't seem to be anymore." I smiled at him.

"Y-yeah? W-well it's just because were back at home, and I guess seeing Winry and granny, I mean in a way their my only family besides Al."

"Yeah, it must be good to visit home hey." I said smiling. "Now, get out."

"What, why?"

"I'm about to get dress you dimwit." I said and rolled my eyes.

"Oh, right, sorry." He said and walked out the door.

I felt a tear roll down my face and I quickly wiped it away and went to get dressed. I slipped on my long-sleeved black top, and my long jeans, I pulled my turquoise top over top the black one and put my black gloves on to hide my automail arms. I walked over to the door and slipped on my orange combat boots. I went over to my suitcase to try and find my brush, to tame my wild hair . . . But I couldn't find it. "Damn it, I'll go and see if I can borrow Ed's brush." I said to myself.
I started to run down the stairs and came into the kitchen. "Hey Ed, do you have a hair
brush I can borrow? I seem to have left mine at Central." I could feel my hair brushing against the back of my calves.

"Yeah sure, I'll just go and get it for you." I could hear the smile in his voice.

"Thanks a bunch." I smiled as I sat down at the table. I took a bite out of the toast that Winry placed in front of me. "Hey Winry, about yesterday-"

"Yeah, I'm really sorry too, I shouldn't have assumed that you needed my help for something so simple." I could hear the sadness in her voice, and could tell it was genuine.

"Well I'm really sorry, I shouldn't have reacted the way I did."

"Hey I'm just glad you didn't try to kill me." She smiled at me "but I can't wait until Edward comes back with that hair brush." She laughed.

"What?"

"Your hair looks ridiculous."

"Well I'm sorry, I have no idea how bad it looks, however you try and keep hair this long tame. Then I'll accept your opinion." I smiled at her.

"Why do you even have hair that long? I mean when was the last time you cut it?"

"I haven't cut it since I was 8." I said sadly.

"But why not?" She asked, but I couldn't blame her she didn't know my past.

"I haven't cut it since my parents died." I said quietly.

"Oh, I'm sorry about that, I didn't know-"

"It's fine, you didn't kill them did you? So I don't care, I mean I hadn't told you so how would you know." I said as I shrugged my shoulders, trying not to cry.

Suddenly something was thrown at me, I lifted my hand up to catch it, I automatically new it was a hairbrush so I started to brush my hair. "Thanks Ed." I said as I stood up.

"How the hell did you know where that was and catch it?" Winry asked shocked. "And why did you take that risk, you didn't know she would catch that, you could have hurt her." Winry shouted and lifted her wrench menacingly.

"Calm down Winry, once you have been around me long enough you know you can't sneak up on me, and I could hear the wind currents so I knew he was throwing it at me. He knew that I would be able to tell it was there so he didn't panic." I shrugged while lifted up half of my hair to get out the knots at the bottom.

"Oh, okay that's pretty neat." Winry replied as I parted my hair and put it up into my usual piggy tails.

"Hey, why don't you cut your hair?" Ed asked.

"Same reason I told Winry, I haven't cut it since my parents died." I got up from the table
and placed my plate in the sink. "Well I'm going to get my stuff all packed up." I started to walk up the stairs up to my room, I could swear that at any moment my legs were going to give way, but as I shut my bedroom door behind me, that was when they gave in. I sat on the floor quietly sobbing,
"s-she would be 13, K-Kat would be 13 today, but I took that away from her."

~Edwards POV~

"I wonder what's up with Kristy? she's a lot quieter at the moment." I said under my breath.

"So, it's not just my imagination?" I heard Winry come up behind me. "She was really weird this morning."

"What do you mean weird?"

"Well she came down and apologised I just assumed she was in a good mood, or felt that her reaction was uncalled for last night. But then she was quiet, and then when I asked her about her hair she was really open, and I may have only known her for a day but I am sure you will agree with me that she doesn't usually open up, she seems like she takes a while to tell you things."

"I'm going to go check on her." I stated as I sat up and walked up the stairs quietly towards her room. I was only a few meters away when I heard sobbing from behind the door, and her muttering something I couldn't make out. Yes I wanted to see if she was okay, but I didn't want to make anything worse. I sighed, then yelled, "hey Kristy, were about to leave so come down if your ready, if we catch the next train we'll get to Central about 6."

"Sure, I'll be down in a minute." She shouted back, I knew that that minute would not be spent packing, but getting rid of any evidence of her brake-down.

I walked back down the stairs to be greeted by Winry. "Why didn't you talk to her?"

"I couldn't."

"Why, it's just asking her if she was okay?"

I picked up my suitcase, and walked over to Winry to whisper into her ear, "she was crying."

I heard her gasp, and I had to agree, she didn't seem like the type to actually cry, and she
didn't even seem like she was going to cry when she was down here, just that something was off.
I heard Kristy come down the stairs, I looked at her but couldn't see any traces of the tears
I could hear, it made me wonder how many times that happened but was replaced with a smile.

"Ready." She smiled down at me.

"Come on Al were leaving."

"Coming nii-San."

I looked over at the sleeping Kristy, I couldn't bring myself to wake her up so I decided to carry her. "Hey, Al do you think you could grab mine and Kristy's stuff, I don't want to wake what so I'm just going to carry her to room." I whispered to Al while lifting Kristy off the seat bridal style.

"Sure nii-San." He whispered back.

I carried Kristy up to her room before going to my own. "nii-San, don't we have to report back to the colonel?" I heard Al ask behind me.

"Yeah but well do it in the morning thanks to that delay it's already 9, and I'm ready to pass out." I smiled while yawning before laying onto my own bed. "Gnite Al."

"Gnite nii-San."

Well then Another chappie down, and I am sorry if my authors notes amuse you but it is 1 in the morning so I am to tired to write them and I'm not hyper, there you go my friends the only time I am not hyper is in the early house of the morning. And due to the fact I am writing this at 1 please excuse any bad gramma. But I might be able to fix up the gramma tomorrow before I post . . . . Or today? Well now anyway, the concept of time gets confusing when you stay up till the morning.
