All about me Winry!!

Hello! My name is Winry Rockbell. I'm the world's greatest automail machanic. My home town is Risembool where I live with my grandma Pinako Rockbell, and my dog Den. Den has automail as well. I have a all love for automail. Also anything else machanical. The smell of oil, the sound of the creaks and barrings.. *starry eyed*

Anyway! My parents died in the Ishvarlan War. As a child I remember my first time meeting Mustang and Ms. Riza. I was afraid, I didn't want Edward and Alphonse to become soilders. I stood outside the room and sat with Ms. Riza while Roy talked to Granny and Ed and Al.

My relationship with the Elric brothers is I'm their childhood friend. I'm also Edward's machanic. He often breaks his automail or doesn't take care of it, which angers me greatly. My favorite thing to hit them with is a wrench of some kind.

I'm so happy! I finally have an anime!

(Here is where my story in the Manga begins, or when I started to explain it. )
One of my biggest miss ups with Edward's automail, is forgetting a screw in his shoulder. Where I get a call from him asking me to go to Central. I wondered why he couldn't come until I found out later he was in a hosptial. I felt terrible for being careless, and forgetting such a thing. And, because of that he got hurt. I also got to meet Mr. Hughes as well. Where I stayed at his place. I thought it was strange to since I just met him, but he dragged me away. I later find out it was his daughters birthday, and she was adorable!!! She is like my little sister! <3 Mr. Hughes is really kind as well.

Coming back from the Hughes house, I witnessed Ed and Al's fight. He said something about his memories being fake. Next thing I knew Edward was leaving the room. By now I was angry and I hit Alphonse with a wrench. I had to tell Alphonse what Edward really wanted tell him. Somehow I started braking down in front of Al telling him about Edward. I mean, why would he risk his life for a fake brother? After a good talk to I sent him after Edward. It was great to see them close again.

I bought tickets for Edward for the train and he told me about going to Dublith. Seeing Rush Valley of course I was happy! AUTO-MAIL ENGINEERS' MECCA!! OH HOW WONDERFUL! OF course Edward was being a jerk and didn't want to take me along. But, I got to go anyway, I rushed back to tell Granny that I was going to go with Edward and Alphonse to Rush Valley.

On the train I was talking to Edward and Alphonse about their teacher, after a while I remembered the pie that Mrs. Hughes made. I shared it with Edward. Luckly she gave me the recipe so I told Alphonse I would make it for him when he got his body back.

I arrived in Rush Valley. It was wonderful! We ran into a couple of people who would arm wrestle for money with automail arms. If not for the cruelty of the people I may have been more amazed. Edward got called short causing him to play as well. I tried to stop him. He won though to my amazement. I soon found out he was cheating but after awhile my work got praised it made me so happy. They really was into their reasearch. Edward didn't seem to happy about it though.

Edward lost his pocket watch. He ended up getting a clue where to find the theif and went to go get her. After awhile I watched as Edward chased her though out the town with Alphonse. Alphonse had her in a cage but she turned out to have 2 automail legs one having some kind of knife in it allowing her to escape. But as she ran by me I grabbed her arm not letting her get away.

Edward and Alphonse thought I grabbed her to help, but I acually wanted to take a close up look at her automail. I mean it was amazing! It was the work of a genius! She offerted to take me to her machanic for the exchange for her freedom. Edward of course yelled at me for agreeing.

We followed her up the mountains. Once we reached the house Paninya introduced us to some of the people living there. Theyr'e names were Ridel and Satera. Dominic was the automail machanic who made Paninya's automail.

I got to speak with Dominic about automail. It was amazing! After awhile I called Edward over so that Dominic could look over my work. After his advice about making Edward's automail lighter to give less stress on him I decided. I wanted him to make me his apprentice. But, he turned me down!

We ended up staying there longer, because of the rain. After awhile I decided to ask Paninya how come she needed automail. I told her that the best way to pay Dominic back was to do it in a honest way. She then said she would stop pick-pocketing.

Paninya gave me back Edward's watch I then got the idea to open it. Of course I got it open, but what was inside hurt my heart to see. Wiping my tears I stood telling Paninya to give Ed back his watch. Seeing his watch made me decide to ask Dominic again.

But, delaying that I had to go get Ridel and tell him about his wife. The baby was coming! Dominic went to go get the doctor in the rain. The bridge went down! Edward tried to use alchemy to make the bridge, but it didn't work!

We all headed back to the house while Dominic took a longer route to get there. Just then I got an idea, I grabbed Alphonse, Paninya, and Edward to tell them my plan.

The plan was I would deliver the baby. With everyone's help I knew I could do it. It had to be done.

So the process began. I was so scared and nervous was up to me. I held the door open thinking about all that as needed. I used to look at my parents medical books as a child. My name being called out snapped me out of thought. Edward and Alphonse gave me couragement which helped. After it was done I feel to my knees. Edward came in asking what had happened and I pointed to Satera.

I was so happy it was over. Sadly I had to have Edward carry me, because I lost the strength in my legs. I told Edward that I opened his watch, then he dropped me, I about yelled at him for it before he yelled at me. I lowered my head and just apologized. He helped me back up and we talked.

After Edward explained about the watch I started to cry. I was crying for him and Alphonse because they wouldn't. It made me feel better after telling Edward about my determination. Also it helped with his encouragement.

Later Edward tried to help me by asking Domonic about me being his apprentice again since he Domonic was grateful about me helping with the delivery. But he still refused to take me in. He heard about Pinako being my grandmother and freaked out.

Instead he told me he could introduce me to somone who could train me, and he said I could occasionally come and visit.

With that we headed back to Rush Valley. I had to look for someone called Carfiel, who was looking for an apprentice.

Later we all ran after the train so that I could see Edward and Alphonse off. So after saying by I decided to call Pinako. It made my heart a little sad to see them leave again, but I now had training to do.

Anyway Granny didn't mind, so training began

After some time Edward and Alphonse came to Rush Valley agian. Edward broke his arm yet AGAIN! I swear he goes places just to break it again. Edward then told me that he was going to Central next. I wanted to come so that I could visit Mr. Hughes's family so that I could thank them for letting me stay with them.

I just then remembered that I couldn't go I had work. But, Mr. Garfiel let me go. First of course I had to finish my jobs. I come back with Edward's arm ruined even more! I can't belive him at times. Edward's new friend was talking with me. Then suddenly Edward got angry. I don't know why.

So we all was on a train to Central. Ling's bodyguards are some type of characters. We finally reached Central after a long train ride. Ling somehow disapeared. Later we seen Ms. Riza. I remembered her from when her and Mustang came to offer Edward and Alphonse State Alchemist positions.

Mustang was there too, Edward asked about Hughes, and they looked as though they seen a ghost, but he told us that Hughes was gone, he took his family and disapeared.

Later we was in our rooms, and I was relaxing on the bed when I heard commotion, I peaked out of my room, and the look on Edward's face was horrifed. But, with out telling me what was wrong..again.. they left me behind. While they was gone I noticed that they left their door unlocked and light on. Suddenly I noticed a news paper on their table.

After reading the news, I decided to go out for a walk. I went to the Hughes's place. Eleyca is the one who opened the door the disapointment of it not being her father killed me. I couldn't believe he was gone. She gave me a hug, as I held the newspaper close.

Edward and Alphonse came to pick me up. Edward and Alphonse explained that Hughes was helping them with their search for the Philospher's Stone, which he found out something he shouldn't have,and got killed for it.

We all finally left back to our rooms. I was in my room in the dark, I wasn't hungry. Edward came up to my room a lil later to check up on me. He told me that I better eat. I grabbed onto his hand and told him to come here. I made a apple pie at Gracia's. She taught me how to make it last time, and i practiced. I told Ed this as well. Soon my tears begain to fall, because I really wanted Hughes to try it too.

I was polishing Alphonse's armor up for him, then looked over to Edward to ask what he was going to do. It was different, because they acually asked for my advice. I told them, that I don't want them to give up on their mission, but I also want them to stop, because it's so dangourous.

The next thing I knew the major knocked on their door, and soon grabbed Edward away and was taking him back to Risembool. What scared me was Ling snuck in the room as well. So Alphonse and I was left behind.

Ling explained what was going on somewhat, and Alphonse decided to head out as well. I made them promise that they would come back, and Alphonse promised. With that, I was alone again.

I waited outside the hotel for Alphonse to return. It was horrible, on what I seen. His body was falling apart, which told me that he got into some major trouble.

At the hotel Ling was telling us more about himself. Al and I laughed we was told about him being a prince. Alphonse also explained his body could reject his soul at anytime.

Ling thought it was cool, and I lost my temper and had to leave the room. Alphonse followed me in. Edward came back, and I rushed him to go see Alphonse.

I visited Hughe's grave, it made me sad that he was gone, while I was gone. On my way back I heard that a State Alchemist was in trouble.

I rushed to go find Edward. I found him, but what I heard was horrible. The man Edward and Alphonse was fighting killed my parents. They didn't deserve that.

In despiration I reached for a gun that was lying on the ground. Grabbing it I pointed it to the man called Scar. For some reason I couldn't shoot. My body was trembling.

But Edward, he, he protected me. I broke down. I couldn't take the man's life who took my parents life away. Edward slowly made me drop the gun, his words slowly calming me. Finally emotionally at a breaking point I clenched onto Edward and cryed.

After Edward asked a officer to take me to a safe place. He told me Al was still fighting, and he had to go. He wrapped his red jacket around me, and then left.

I then was taken to the Presidents room, and I just talked to him about how i was Edward and Alphonse's childhood friend. Soon Edward came to pick me up, and I had him explain to me everything. Once we got back to the hotel I got a phone call from Mr. Grefiel. He said that he tried to take care of things, but my customers won't leave him alone. Hearing them wanting me back, a small tear streamed down my cheek. I told them I would be back right away.

So I headed back to Rush Valley. Before my train left Edward told me that next time he made me cry it would be tears of joy. Once I got back to Rush Valley I got a call from Edward. I thought it was he broke his automail, but it was because he was worried about me. It creeped me out but at the same time it made me happy.

Later I called the hotel to tell them I had polishing oil for Alphonse. The man at the desk said that they left North. I wondered why they would go to such risks.

One night I got a call from the military. Stoping with what I was working on, I wondered what it could be for. I went up to the North and saw Edward and Alphonse in the cell. He seemed very upset with me being there. I just came to give him a model for the enviroment.
