A/N: I randomly had this idea while watching FMA Brotherhood again. I hope you like this!
Ed's Note: I honestly think that everything in this chapter is completely true. I approve.
Chapter two:
The Song
It was a nice day outside, again. It does get a little boring when it's always this nice, but it's better than rain. I hate rain almost as much as I hate milk.
I was having a nice casual game of Would you Rather with Winry when a sore topic came up accidentally. Winry picked a question from the book and looked at me with a mischievous grin.
"I think you'll know from experience the answer to this one Edo..." She said softly.
"Oh get it over with already Win! We don't have all day!" I said a little louder than necessary. I didn't mean to shout. Really. But I was just agitated at the fact that I couldn't guess the question. Win calls me impatient and a sore loser, BUT I AM NOT!!!
"Ok, here we goooo..." she said slowly, making my foot tap a little bit faster.
"WOULD YOU RATHER LOSE AN ARM OR A LEG!" She finished at the top of her lungs. Just great. Now all of Resembool Center was staring at us.
Now all of Resembool Center was watching as a few silent tears slipped down my cheek. Winry was right. I did know from experience. But I also know that people shouldn't joke about it either. They don't realize how much it hurts to have a limb separated from the rest of your body. They don't know the pure agony you feel during automail surgery. But I do.
Suddenly all of the pain from that day came rushing back. I was now shaking and whimpering as I clutched the sleeve of my right arm, remembering everything. I was feeling the pain again, just like that day. The pain is real.
Winry looked extremely regretful and ashamed of herself for asking that question, especially in the middle of Resembool on sheep day. Even more so when she fully saw my reaction, as did everyone else.
I wanted to disappear. 21 year olds shouldn't cry over a bad memory! Especially not in public! Even more so because my right arm was back.
"I'm sorry Edo...maybe we should go home..." Win said to me softly. I just nodded, afraid to speak in case my voice wavered. At least home was less...public. I can melt down there if I feel like it.
Thus our treacherous journey home begins.
..~•~..
When we got home, Winry made me a giant tub of fresh ice cream as an apology. I gladly accepted and agreed to never think of this incident again.
Then something extremely annoying happened once again. DAMN IT! NOT THIS SONG!! PLEASE NOT THIS SONG! I screamed inside my head.
The world around me erupted in sound. It sounded like it came from everywhere, yet nowhere as well. "AMO HE MIKASORA!"
"GOD DAMMIT!" I screamed at the top of my lungs for the entire world to hear. I hate this song and I want everyone to know it. This song had finally gone away for the last few years, but it was back all of a sudden.
It always seems to play at the worst possible time too. Sometimes it will play in the middle of my sentence, or right when I make a big breakthrough in some investigation.
The damn song gets stuck in your head all the time after a few times.
About two minutes later, the song stopped. I was so annoyed and angry that I completely forgot what I was originally upset about.
I guess there MIGHT be a singe good thing about the song.

A/N: Sorry this chapter is so short, I didn't have much time to write and I thought it was a good place to end it. Hope you enjoyed and please review!
