The boys had known something was up, even before the Tsunami hit; Ynen had been acting strangely agitated, and Moril (who obviously knew his horse best) had decided it was good to follow his lead.

When Winry had heard about the fence going down from the little radio she'd got from the compound, she set to gathering up her tools and filling her toolbox. They'd need all the help they could get, and Winry was eager to help. Something to fix!

Heedless of Ed's sputtering, she bent to drop down the ladder out of the treehouse, and all of a sudden jumped back with a shout. "What is THAT?" she yelped, pointing to the little dinosaur staring up at them from below.
