029: Picnic Time

[handsforhealing]

Hey!  Ed! Al! I got some food for a picnic! Come meet me by the lake, okay? And you'd better not be late!

( mods; umm... subtract 20$ from Winry's account for her cheap picnic? )

[As she hadn't specified a certain place and the lake was huge, it may have taken him a few minutes to find her. When he approached, there was a huge smile on his face and he was waving. Al stopped in front of her.]

Hey Winry!

[Ed headed to the lake, fully prepared to greet Winry, but of course, there was Al, and he couldn't tell why he was so surprised.]

Yo, Win--

--ry.

Hey, Al...

Great! You both made it!

*looks between Ed and Al, wondering what's up with Ed*

[Al turned to smile at Ed when his brother showed up just after he did. He was also curious about Ed's slight hesitation, but decided to comment on it, for now.]

Well, you went through all the trouble of planing it, so of course I wouldn't miss it!

[And Ed reminded himself not to act weird now, and grinned back. Happy, of course, he reminded himself. And he was, if a little -- or far more than a little? -- nervous.]

Yeah, you'd probably throw a wrench at me again if I didn't come.

[handsforhealing.livejournal.com]

Thanks Al!

Ed, you jerk! I would not!!!

* calms down because this is, after all, their first time all being together. Even Winry won't wrench people in such a situation for the first few comments *

Anyways, I made lots of food! So eat up!

[kihaku-madou.livejournal.com]

[He winced at the thought of a wrench connecting with a body part. Sitting down next to the picnic spread, Al took a piece of food, yet before he took a bite, he spoke.]

So Ed, are you going to participate in Rika's water gun fight?

[asu-e-no-basho.livejournal.com]

[Okay, fine, so he was going to be on (relatively) good behavior in front of Al, and settled for just making a face at Winry before plopping down.]

Yeah, you?

[handsforhealing.livejournal.com]

Oh, good! We were hoping you'd play too, Ed!

* Winry decided that the brothers needed some bonding time so sat back to quietly serve food *

[ ooc; Sister is sick so I have to go get her medicine. Sorry x-x; Be back later~ ]

[kihaku-madou.livejournal.com]

You know it! If you weren't going to come, Winry and I were going to drag you. I seem to get really lucky at Rika's games. I scored two goals in soccer and won a memory game.

[Al ate some food as he quietly thought to himself.]

So what's this I hear about a boat ride around the island?


((ooc: Oh, I hope she feels better soon.))

[asu-e-no-basho.livejournal.com]

Heh, that's my Al!

[Eating too, now, and maybe forgetting his nervousness a little.]

Right, that! I was gonna see if there was some way off this place that no one's found yet.

[handsforhealing.livejournal.com]

And I'm designing the engine so the boat will go really fast! It should be sort of fun!

[A strange feeling came over him when his brother referred to him as "My Al", yet he wasn't sure what, so he brushed it aside.]

And the reason you need a laser would be?

[asu-e-no-basho.livejournal.com]

Eh? Laser? That was, uh, something else.

[handsforhealing.livejournal.com]

I never really understood why you needed that...

Oh right. Ed, don't you have something to ask Al?

[kihaku-madou.livejournal.com]

[He wasn't sure if Ed needed the laser at all.]

Something else?

[When Winry asked Ed a question, his eyes turned to look at his brother.]

[asu-e-no-basho.livejournal.com]

Huh? Oh yeah.

[And embarrassment, fidgeting, and finally--]

Er, uh. Al, you wanna live with me? I've got a room in the other apartment and all...

[kihaku-madou.livejournal.com]

[He was shocked for a moment, before he smiled.]

I'd like that. Of course, you do realize I haven't found a place for Clover, so we'll have two cats.

[handsforhealing.livejournal.com]

[ Smiles, glad to see that things worked out. ]

Great! Now there'll be someone to keep Ed out of trouble. I'm counting on you, Al.

[asu-e-no-basho.livejournal.com]

Yeah, yeah. [Waves Winry off.]

[And to Al...]

Fine, but you're taking care of it yourself, got it?

[kihaku-madou.livejournal.com]

Keep him in line? Do you always step out of line? [He grinned to let Ed know he was teasing.]

I'll take care of yours too!

[handsforhealing.livejournal.com]

I can help too, Al. And so will Ed. Won't you, Ed? You were only teasing before, weren't you?

[asu-e-no-basho.livejournal.com]

((OOC: Oops, didn't see.))

Yeah, yeah...

[kihaku-madou.livejournal.com]

It'll be easy to just take care of both of them at the same time. That way you don't have to do things separately!

[Already he was thinking of the chance of getting more cats, getting a gleam in his eye.]

[handsforhealing.livejournal.com]

Good answer Ed!

[giggles when she notices the gleam in Al's eye] That sounds logical, Al.
