Loose Screws 7 [Video]

[hands4healing]

[There's an image of a wet nose and a white muzzle, community, and a dog pulls its head back before pawing and sniffing at the communication device again. Some of you might recognize Winry Rockbell's dog, Zoey.

There's the sound of a door opening and the dog turns away, wagging its tail and putting on a doggy smile for the person walking into the room.

You can see her legs and the hem of her dress and part of the dog's back. And you can hear her voice.]

I don't get it, Zoey. Why would the Porter bring Al in just to take him away again? Geeze!

[The legs move again, to sit on a bed. The dog turns to face the legs, tail wagging slowly.]

And now Mr. Castle is gone, too.

[Her voice thickens.]

I'm tired of people vanishing, Zoey.

[She pets the dog, who lays its ears back and shifts closer. Finally, Winry leans down, wrapping her arms around her dog. While bent over, she realizes the device is on, and reaches for it, her expression surprised.]

Zoey, did you turn this on?

No, after I leave here, I'm going home to meet Ed. But thanks for asking...did you want to come with me?

[knifecollecting]

If you're going to see Ed I'll let you two have the time alone. [Said with a smirk.]

[hands4healing]

[Jo! Don't embarrass her like that!]

I - Geeze!

Jo!

[Whiiiiiiine.]

[knifecollecting]

[Jo laughs loudly and flops back on the sand to laugh some more. Sorry, Winry.]

[hands4healing]

[Winry kicks sand at her. Lightly. Not a lot of sand. And Zoey barks and jumps and is thrilled someone's on the sand with her.]

It's not funny, Jo!

[Except Winry knows it is.]

[knifecollecting]

[Jo just laughs again.]

You go see your boyfriend. Take your dog with you.

[hands4healing]

[Snort.]

I will.

[But she's smiling as she says it.]

Zoey! Come on!

[The dog barks and runs back with her ball.]

[knifecollecting]

Take care of yourself, okay?

[hands4healing]

[Winry grins. Healer, remember?]

I will. But you need to take care of yourself, too!

And if you ever want to play with Zoey again, let me know.

[Winry leashes up her dog and tucks the tennis ball back in her messenger bag.]

I'll see you around, Jo!

[knifecollecting]

[Jo's gonna stay on the sand for a while. It's nice.]

See ya.
