In the Park!

[AG]

Ed lead everyone to the park. He looked around and saw a play set and a pond in the distance. He turned to Nina, "Look, you can take the dogs down there and play!" He said sweetly to the little girl. He looked up at Winrey, "Why don't you go with her...maybe Tucker can go with you. Al and I have something to talk about." He told her as he looked between her and Tucker.

[Ling Yao]

Al looked at confused Winry. "Winry it's important"
He turned to his brother and noded in a direction where they could go.

[AG]

Ed saw a group of trees off in another direction, "We can go over there, Al." He said as he started walking to the trees. "I'll catch ya later Winrey!" He said as he looked back to his friend.

[emelie]

"Okay, Ed." She said with a confused look on her face. What in the world could be so important that they have to talk about that I can't hear? Ugh, I want to know what is going on. Maybe I could go hide in one of those trees and eavesdrop a little. A mischievous look played across her face. "Hayate, go play with Nina, I am going for a little walk by my self" Winrey started walking quietly in the direction that Ed and Al went.

[Chip]

Black Hayate watched as most of the humans walked off towards a gathering of trees. The puppy then glanced at Nina and Alexander, who Hayate had become quite fond of on the walk over. Wow, they're irresponsible. Leaving a little girl with two dogs alone in a big park? The dog sweatdropped. Humans aren't very bright. The dog then ran over to Nina and Alexander and began to play.

[AG]

As soon as Ed reached the gathering of trees, he turned back to Al. "So what is so important you needed to talk to me about?" He asked as he looked seriously at his little brother. He must have seen something at Tuckers...maybe a talking Chimera...I would like to see something like that Ed thought to himself getting excited.

[emelie]

Winrey snuck up to the trees where Ed and Al were at. If I climb one of these trees I can eavesdrop without the boys knowing
She began to climb one of the trees and kept climbing until she got to a branch that looked safe enough for her to sit on. She looked down and saw that the boys were directly below her. I still can't hear them, maybe if I scoot out farther on the branch I can hear them.
She reached up and grabbed the branch above her with both hands as support and began to scoot out farther on the branch. Unfortunately then branch part farther out couldn't support Winrey's weight and it snapped from underneath her. Leaving Winrey hanging in mid air clutching onto the branch above her with both hands hoping she wouldn't fall. Winrey was terrified and didn't know what to do. "Ed! Al! Someone please help!"

[AG]

Ed heard Winrey's cries for help, he wasn't sure where they were coming from. He looked around frantically, "Winrey? Where are you?" He yelled back. It was then when she caught the corner of his eye up in the trees. "Winrey!" He yelled as he tried to think of a way to save her. He realized that she was right above Al. "Al, sorry, I need to save Winrey!" He apologized as he climbed up on top of his metal brother and grabbed Winrey's waiste. "Winrey, I have you. Let go of the branch!" He said to her.

[emelie]

Winrey felt relieved when she felt Ed's strong arms around her waist. She let go of the branch and let Ed help her down. "Ed, thank you for saving me." She said with a smile,

[AG]

Ed slowly lowered her to the ground and got off Al. "No problem, what are you doing here, Winrey?" He asked sternly to Winrey.

[emelie]

Winrey hung her head in shame when she heard the sterness in Ed's voice. "Well the truth is that I was kinda feeling left out, you two went off alone to talk and I was left out of the loop. I really wanted to know what is going on so I decided to climb that tree and eavesdrop on your conversation because I knew you guys wouldn't tell me otherwise. I am sorry, Ed."

[Ling Yao]

"There is nothing to be sorry for Winry. If you are here we can also tell you." He turned to Ed "Brother I saw a transmutaion circle for the philosoper stone. I don't know but we can ask Mr.Tucker. I've already tried it but he didn't tell me anything. What should we do?"

[AG]

Ed's face lit up when Al brought up the Philosopher's Stone. "The...Philosopher's Stone, huh?" Ed asked his brother. "You say you have asked him about it? And he is as secretive as ever." He thought outloud. "Maybe I can ask him again..." Ed said as he turned back to where Tucker was.

He turned to Winrey, "As for this spying thing...when it has to do with our missions you need to respect that!" He scolded the blonde girl. "Do you understand that?" He asked, still with a scolding tone.

[emelie]

"I am sorry Ed. Can I at least stay here with you guys and listen to what you are talking about." She looked at Ed innocently and smiled.

[Ling Yao]

"Winry.....Yes" he smiled. "Let's go and ask Mr.Tucker again"

[AG]

Ed nodded to his younger brother, "Yes, let's go." Ed said as he turned to Tucker and walked in that direction.

Ed approached Tucker with a serious look, "Al tells me about a special transmutation circle that you have." He mentioned.

[emelie]

"Thanks, guys." Winrey smiled at them and walked along Ed's side. I am so happy they are beginning to share things with me.

[Chip]

Black Hayate saw Ed, Al and Winrey returning to this side of the park. He turned and barked happily at them, wanting them to join in the wrestling match between him, Alexander and Nina.

[carduus]

Not really that thrilled about the walk in the park. Ed and Al disappeared anyway and Nina went off with the dogs.

He stared at a spot in the distance, scolding himself inwardly for letting Al find out about the transmutation circle he believed could create the Philosopher's stone... yet... not quite sure yet...

Snapped out of his line of thought, he looked to-wards Edward - blinking in surprise:

"I am currently researching one that could be quite interesting..."

[AG]

Ed was irritated that Tucker seemed to keep information from him. "Tucker, what is this transmutation circle?" He asked impatiently. He stopped himself before he got too angry and physical with Tucker.
