[Winry had fallen asleep on the train—just thirty minutes, tops!—only to have the throttling of an engine and an abrupt stop not only wake her, but nearly throw her out of her seat. She blinked and twirled her head around. Had they crashed? No, she would have been dead. It was then that she looked a little closer.

Strange. Not a single person was on the train.

Maybe her stop was last. Rush Valley was awaiting, as was Garfiel and her loyal customers.

Taking a deep breath, she exited the train and took a hasty step onto the concrete. Something was... off. Chills reaked havoc over her body; Rush Valley was never this cold, even when it rained. She then noticed another thing. This place... it looked an awful lot like... Central.

What the-?! CENTRAL?

Okay, that nap must have been longer than thirty minutes.

Just as she flipped around to return to the train and explain her situation to the conductor, however, the train was out of sight. Gone. Not even a shadow remained.

And then she read the sign.]

What... What...

[Even after twenty minutes of standing in the bitter cold, gawking at the sign, she couldn't seem to fathom what it said. She began to slap her cheeks repeatedly, convinced it was all a dream.]

Wake up, wake up, wake up!

[Ed was walking down the street, glaring at something modern day people might confuse for a blackberry - eyes narrowed in frustration as he tried to get the thing to work.]

Damn it! If it's not one thing it's another, and this one is just ridiculous!

[He groans in frustration, shoving the device into a pocket.] What's the point of this anyway? Making us dream of our home world-? Not like I'm going to get back any time soo-

[Blink. Blink....]

... Winry?

[She flips around at the familiar voice. Just when she thought that she was all alone...]

Ed...?!

[Ed shoved the dreamberry back in his pocket, taking a moment to respond as if he wasn't sure just what to say-]

how long have you been here?

[Al had been around something like a year, so he knew he was out for awhile - but his brother didn't mention Winry showing up. What was going on here?]

I just arrived.

Edward, is this some kind of joke? You know I don't like jokes! Especially pranks like this! Where the hell is "fake Central", anyway? God, I swear, I swear you're up to something!

[blah blah blah -insert nagging winry here- blah blah blah she so pissed at eddo blah blah blah~]

It's not a joke. [At least not one he's playing, anyway.]

This place- it's really messed up.

[He pulls the small device from his pocket again, showing it to her.] Did you get one of these? Mine's not working.

Maybe if we can get in touch with Al...

[Oh, Winry. Ed thinks they're still in Somarium and it's messing with them. He's not going to be much help.]

What is that?

[she looks at the device closely, examining it like a piece of typical machinery.]

I dunno, I don't think this will be much help. We should probably look around.

[D':]

Guess that means you didn't one. [Noted, sourly.]

It's what we use to communicate here- like a phone... Only. It's not working.

[That happens sometimes, Somarium is pretty cruel.]

They call it a 'dreamberry'. The dream part I get- but it's not exactly edible.

[That would be when he notices the sign.] What the... hell-?

Yeah. That was pretty much my reaction.

[she stays silent for a moment to let it sink in]

What do they expect us to do now</>?

[just walking by, wondering how he's here suddenly...huh? Isn't she...]

Hey, girl. You a Rockbell or what?

Huh? WHAT IN THE WORLD—... another Ed?

Edward? [blinks] But you were just— and you're—... but you...! [/facepalm]

Huh? Nah, Ed's my younger bro. Haha, you could say I'm much too tall too be him.

[gives her a lookover] Speaking of which, you're too tall to be Winry.

Too tall?

[she notices his... discolored eyes... not to mention the tattoo on his hand. he was rather taller than she remembered, too. yup, this wasn't ed all right, but then... who was he? and how could Ed be his younger sibling?]

Yep. And Winry's mother is dead, so you can't be her. Unless you're just a distant relative. [Yeah, parents would be so proud. He's thinking with his brain and not with his wants and hopes and aches right now, it's not like the strange girl is---]

---Envy?

[she shrunk a little at that first statement. it was so long ago, yet the pain was still fresh.]

[and then the name envy was said -- something she recognized from months ago... with dr. marcoh and the others... wasn't it that little green thing in the jar? the "homunculus"?]

No, no. I can assure you I'm Winry. And quite human.

[okay, let's not show disappointment]

Envy is a shitty actor, so I'll believe you for now, girlie. So, who made you grow up a few years?

Uh...

Mother nature?

[she ponders about the winry that he knows, and just how different she is from her. Apparently she's younger. And smaller.]

[laughs a little] That's a good one. You're definitely not Envy, then.

...

Wait a second. What's... your name?

Name's Greed. Greed Elric. The greediest Elric, and that's saying something.
