[Voice]
Hello? I'd like to personally speak with all the friends and "guardians" of Elicia Hughes. It's very important, and I would rather speak in person. Meet me on the bridge passed houses thirty one and thirty three.

Everyone else? What are your favorite dinner recipes? I need to spice up my cooking, and sometimes cookbooks just won't do it.

[And those who will come to meet her shall see her standing in the middle of the bridge looking over the side. She's not alone, though. Not too far off will be one alchemist around to make sure everything is okay.

[She sighs, and sits back.]

I think I might call it an earlier night. I can't think about automail with all this on the brain.

[godbent]

A...Actually, I had something I wanted to talk to you about. If you can't handle it, I can wait.

[It's technically Sunday though]

[installing]

It's okay. Come on, what is it?

[godbent]

[Pointedly looking in the opposite direction-] Minato asked me out. On a date, I mean.

[installing]

[Winry stares at Haruhi for a moment, letting silence settling in for a minute.]

Did you answer him?

[godbent]

I... I did, yeah. [She bites her lip. To be honest, he probably only meant a date, not them being boyfriend-girlfriend or anything gross like that. But...] He's on a trial period! And I'm not helping him.

[She made it more serious than she needed to. And she feels frustrated and a little disgusted for it, honestly.]

[installing]

Well that's... it's great, right?

[godbent]

Why is it great?! It's stupid!

[Huff]

[installing]

Why is it stupid? You don't want to date him?

[godbent]

Why would I?! It's stupid! [Huff Huff!] He's annoying and stuff.

[installing]

Well he's obviously not that bad if you said yes.

Or are you afraid of something?

[godbent]

I'm not afraid! [And now she turns around in the seat to poke Winry in the chest, frowning and blushing and stuff]

[installing]

Then what's the problem!?

[godbent]

It's Minato!

[installing]

So what? I thought you were friends! It's not like there's anything weird between you, right?

[godbent]

[...]

[godbent]

Who said we're friends?!

[installing]

Shut up! What's keeping you from just dating him like a normal person!?

[godbent]

Because... it's Minato! Seriously, with the sort of history we have-- I mean, who would want to?! The guy barely talks and when he does he's nosy and inconsiderate- well not completely, but fairly...

[installing]

Come on, tell me what's really wrong. Do you really want to date him, or don't you? Minato is quiet, yeah, but he doesn't seem like a bad guy. And your history- it's not really a bad one, is it?

[godbent]

Of course it's a bad one! Our first actual meeting was an argument!

[...That's a lot of her first meetings though. She coils her arms about herself, pouting]

[installing]

You say that like ours wasn't.

[Or... at least she thinks it was.]

[godbent]

Yeah, but I didn't slap you across the face.

[installing]

If you really don't like him that much why are you letting him have this trial period?

[godbent]

B... because it's the first thing I thought of?
