[ There's a suit of armor sitting by the fountain today. It's slumped over, birds have landed on the broad shoulders and perched upon the jutting horn. evening is falling.

There's a large, red bow tied around the armor and a note. Happy Birthday Edward. ]

And I'm sure you'll just love that, Ed. [She continues to peel. The left over skin of the apples get put back into the bowl.]

whoops misfire

[disembodied]

[ It's better than being known as the Fullmetals. ]

That's right! [ OH MY GOD LOOK AT THIS SMILE. ] It will be the first time that someone will think I'm my actual age! [ if not YOUNGER ]

WE'RE STILL NOT SEEING A SMILE, SHIKKI

[automailed]

[Ed can't help it; he laughs.]

This is gonna change so much.

[And now he will help with peeling! And hopefully not get apple gunk all over his automail. (It'll just add extra flavour, it's cool.)]

YEAH, JEEZ. WHAT'S UP WITH THAT

[installing]

Oh, I don't know. Ed's still kind of small for his age. Once you fill out it might be another story.

I'M SORRY JEEZ

[disembodied]

Well, I was two inches taller to start with. I'll just have to catch up.

YOU SHOULD BE

[automailed]

Hey, don't say short!! You're not allowed to be taller than me anymore!

[installing]

[Winry just laughs. With Ed's luck, he'll start shrinking...! Okay, brb. Imagining 2-foot-tall Ed.]

[disembodied]

I think I'd be okay with that.

[automailed]

There, see? Even Al's fine with it. So it's not that funny.

[HUFF PUFF. Not that he's actually (that) annoyed, it's just the principle of things, okay.]

[installing]

Yeah, yeah. Keep peeling.
