[ # 1 ] Doesn't Actually SleepWalk

[handsforhealing]

... What... happened? I remember I fell asleep in that Ishbalen Refugee Camp... And I know this isn't the same place I fell asleep. I was definitely sleeping in a tent, and that is most certainly a roof above my head... and the ground was really hard last night, but somehow I woke up in a pretty comfy bed...

Did I sleep walk? No, that can't be. I don't have weird habits like sleep walking... I hope not. But even if it was sleep walking, this is just ridiculous! I must have walked more in my sleep than I did in a whole day!

Aaahh... This is all just way too confusing... Well, I should probably start by figuring out whose house I'm in... This is going to be embarrassing. I can't believe I woke up in a stranger's house...
hmm?
[ Winry picks up a photo from the nightstand near her and examines it. ]
... A family portrait? What a happy looking family... They look like nice enough people... Yeah, don't be so worried, Winry. I'm sure they'll understand, even if you don't...
...
Wait a second...
[ She notices herself in the picture. ]
That's.... ME?! Wh-What the heck? This isn't my family! How did I get in their family portrait?! [ She looks down and realizes her clothes have changed too; she's in pajamas from sleeping ] M-M-MY CLOTHES HAVE CHANGED!!! Who changed my clothes? WHY? AAAH! This is getting really really creepy REALLY REALLY fast! I just need to grab my supplies bag and get out of here before I meet the creeps who did this... MY BAG IS GONE! What's going on here?!

Lots of us have... Even our not-really-parents. It's kinda... kinda like we've been put in one giant game of make-believe, as far as I can figure. Why, I dunno, though.

Is that so...?
Wait, I know you. You're in that phony family picture with me, aren't you? So... I guess that means we're "sisters"?

Oh, and I'm Winry Rockbell. What's your name?

[flowersmeyoufed.livejournal.com]

I am! S'good to have a real sister, not one of those drone things. It was startin' to get on my nerves.

I'm Charlotte Galloway, miss. Though I'm thinkin' my last name is a might different here, accordin' to some of the stuff I've found.

Charlotte? That's such a nice name! I've always wanted a little sister, so I guess this won't be so bad.

Hmm... So our last name is different. I guess we should try to figure out what that is.

[flowersmeyoufed.livejournal.com]

Me too! [laughs] Well, older sister since I got a younger one already, but...

It's Stein. I found it on some old school papers of mine.

[wontjustwait.livejournal.com]

Oh, so are you a big sister back home? I'm an only child. Though I guess Al is like a little brother to me.

Stein huh? Well, as much as I hate to stop using the Rockbell name... I guess I'll have to remember to sign papers with that from now on...

[flowersmeyoufed.livejournal.com]

I'm actually in the middle. I got an older brother, Isaiah, and a little sister, Dawn. I miss 'em somethin' terrible.

...I sometimes forget and still sign 'em with my real name~

[wontjustwait.livejournal.com]

I imagine you would... When Ed and Al aren't around I miss them so bad, and we aren't even blood related...

Hehe. I'll probably do that too. I hope nothing bad happens if we make a mistake like that.
