It’s a night you would’ve sworn you’d never have, back when you were younger and traveling around Amestris. The only thing that would compare was in Youswell, after you tricked that bastard, Yoki, out of the mines. The miners had offered you beer and all the food you could eat. Well, you accepted one, but not the other - now, though, you’re old enough to drink, and Pinako Rockbell obviously plans on getting you totally pickled at the stupid barn dance.
But you’ve got plans, and booze won’t help. So you screw your courage to the sticking point, get to your feet, and look across the Nedobeck’s barn to where Winry sits perched on a couple of bales of hay. She grins when she sees you and your mouth goes dry. How’d she get so pretty?
Winry’s chatting with a bunch of girls. You might recognize some of them, if you think about it hard. That’s not why you’re here, though, you’re going to walk over there, and ask Winry to dance.
Right now. Just pick up your feet and go.
Any second now.
Yup. You’re going to go over there - just as soon as you have a drink. Maybe you do need some liquid courage. Whirling around, you grab the nearest mug and down the beer. Gah. It tastes awful!
You turn back around, looking for Winry. She’s not on the bale of hay. She’s - she’s on the dance floor, with your stupid brother!
Damn Al and his bold moves.
