Ed looked out his window at the night sky. It's been almost three weeks since Celine's been gone. I never really had time to think about it with so many things happening latly. I didn't even get to say good bye to her. I wonder if she misses me. In her letter, all she said was that she misses home and decided to reform from being a State Alchemist and that she would miss us. She never said anything about me. Why can't I seem to get her out of my head? I usually think about Lilly, but now I think about them both. Maybe it's because I miss her. Maybe it's because I think she is hot and that spending time with her was so much fun. Maybe I have other feelings for her than just friendship. But what do I do about it. I still love Lilly and want to be with her. Maybe it's time for me to move on....
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------
Lilly stared out her window at the night sky just as Ed was. A few days ago, he rescued me. I never felt so safe in anyones arms. Maybe I was stupid to keep such a promise. Everyone knows I still love him and he still loves me. Why can't I just go tell him that I miss him and want to be with him? I'm the one that broke things off, so maybe he still wants to be with me. I long to be in his arms and to sleep beside him. Everything seemed so perfect then, why can't it just stay that way? I can't stand it any longer!!! I'm going to go tell him how I feel and that I want him back! It's the right thing to do!! I just hope he is awake....
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------
Al walked in Ed's room. Ed turned from the window and smiled at his brother. Al sat beside him on Ed's bed.
"Brother, it's 2 in the morning. Why are you up?" Al asked.
"I couldn't sleep. Why are you up?" Ed asked looking at his younger brother.
"The same. I came in here to see if you wanted to talk. Ever since Lilly flew into your arms that day, you haven't been very talkative. What's wrong?" Al asked looking worried.
"I'm not sure. I've been thinking about Lilly and Celine latly. I love Lilly and miss her, but....."
-------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------
Lilly walked to Ed's door and heard talking. She stoped and was going to knock when she heard her name from inside.
"I love Lilly and miss her..." Lilly smiled. "but I think I like Celine." Lilly's smile fadded as she listened. "It's not like it use to be in the past, where I would have sex with her at night then leave in the morning pretending like nothing happened. I didn't care for her then. I liked Winry and was just having sex with her untill we would have to leave and go home to Winry. I had planed to tell Winry how I felt about her a few weeks later when we would get to see her, but then we found Lilly and we canceled our trip home to help her adjust. When I saw Celine again, I didn't think I would like her as more than a friend, but once I started to hang around her after me and Lilly broke up, I started to really get to know her and ended up liking her." Ed said.
Lilly put her head down and cryed silently. She ran back to her room and closed her door trying not to make a sound. Once she got there she buryed her face in her pillow and cryed.
Ed looked up at Al.
"But I'm not sure if I want to move on without Lilly. I don't know if she will ever forgive me, but I can't just pretend to not care about her. If I end up dating Celine, and happen to see Lilly with someone else, I don't know what I'll do. I'll be so jealous and upset at the same time."
"Brother, I can't tell you what to do, but I know that if you just talk to Lilly, you will get some answers your looking for." Al said as he headed for the door. "Now get some sleep."
Ed nodded and watched Al leave. Sometimes I wonder if it was really me who was born first.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------
The next morning Winry arrived. She had planed to stay only for the weekend but wanted to spend as much time as she could with Ed and Al. Lilly had told Mustang that she wanted to go for a walk in the woods so Mustang sent two men to protect her since Ed and Al had the day off. Winry took advantage of it and decided that the three of them would go swimming. Al was excited but Ed said he would come with them but not swim. Winry called him a few names as they walked the near by river. Wirny set out a picknick and her and Al swam while Ed sayed on the grass. Hours passed and Ed had fallen asleep in the warm sun. Winry and Al laughed at him but still wanted to swim.
Winry swam over to a rock and sat on it with her lower body in the water. Al sat beside her a peered up at the clouds.
"Al?" Winry asked looking at him.
"Hmm?" Al said still looking at the clouds.
"Do you think I'm pretty?"
Al froze. He looked down at the water and closed his eyes.
"Why are you asking me? Do you not think your pretty?" Al asked.
"I do, but I didn't ask if I thought I am pretty, I asked you if you think I am." Winry said correcting him.
"I....I....do." Al said.
"Do you like me as more than a friend?" Winry asked.
Al opened his eyes and looked forward. Winry grabed his hand which made him face her after looking as their joined hands.
"Why are you asking me these questions?" Al asked confussed.
"Because...while I was at home, I finally relized what you meant when we talked about me finding someone else. You were talking about you, weren't you?" Winry said. Al looked away. "I've known for some time but I never said anything because I didn't think I would feel the same way, but when I left last time, I found myself missing....you"
Al looked up at her with shock.
"Winry...."
"I know it sounds crazy but I can't seem to stop thinking about you. I wanted to tell you but I couldn't over the phone, so I came for a visit and...."
Before she could finish, Al had pressed his lips against hers. She immediatly closed her eyes and kissed him back. Al let go of her hand and wraped his arms around her waist. He pulled her to him as she placed her hands on his chest. Lilly opened her mouth and slid her toung into Al's mouth. Al eyes shot open with shock but he didn't pull away. He closed his eyes again and began to follow Winry's lead in french kissing. Soon Winry began to moan and open of Ed's eyes slowly opened. He looked at the couple then closed in back. Took them long enough.
Suddenly, the two men that were suppost to be guarding Lilly came running from the woods. Al and Winry pulled apart as Ed shot up. The two men ran to Ed and Al as Al and Winry got out of the water. They were panting and sweating.
"Sir, Lilly has been kiddnapped by the men in black and the humonculi. We fought them but they beat us and but a braclet around Lilly when her guard was down. They told us that there was no use in finding her because they were taking her stright to their boss." One of the men said.
Ed looked at Al and then back at the men. He didn't say anything as he ran back to the Headquarters and to Mustang's office. He explained to him what the men had said as Al and Winry were walking in. Mustang got up from his desk and called his trusted men in.
"It looks like that man that wants Lilly's powers has finally come and taken her. I want people in the woods searching for clues. I want people on the phone to get any information on the humonculi's where abouts. Find out anything and everything." Mustang order. No one moved. "Danm it, get the hell to work!!!" He yelled and everyone scatered.
-------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------
Lilly woke up in a dark room and was laying on a metal table with only one light above her and nothing else. She had nothing on but a white sheet covering her up. She had been straped to the table by metal rings aroung her hands and feet. Lilly looked around and saw nothing but darkness. She heard someone walking towards her and waited untill he came into the light. He was wearing all blck and had shoulder length black hair that was in a pony tail and black eyes, only on one side of his face he had a huge scar. Lilly knew he was the man in her memory that had killed her creator. The man walked up to her and peered down at her. Fear consumed her body.
"Don't be scared child, I'm not going to hurt you." The man said in a gental tone.
"What do you want from me?" Lilly said looking mad.
"My name is Corden. I have discovered that it is love from your friends that has changed you to be a protector. Your creator made a mistake when he made you. He gave you human emotions. With them, you are weak and useless. Without them you could be great and extremly usefull."
"Well, you can't change that can you?!?" Lilly snaped.
"Oh, but I can." Lilly gasped. "All I have to do is take away your memory of your friends, and you will no longer have those emotions since they all come from your friends. Without your memory of your friends you will forget how to love and to care. You will be emotionless and you will belong to me."
Lilly's eyes began to water out of fustration.
"You can't do that!!!"
"Shhh, you won't feel a thing." Corden said walking into the darkness once again.
"No!! They're mine and I want to keep them!!!" Lilly yelled and began to stuggle. Will he truly take away everyone I have ever come to care for in my memories? How will I live without them? I'll be like a walking doll. This can't be happening!!!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------
Ed looked at the woods. His birthday had passed and he refused to have anything to do with it. To his surprise Celine had come down to visit him on that day and decided to stay and help look for Lilly. Celine tryed her best to cheer him up and he was glad to see her but he had mor important things to worry about. He scanned them hoping to see Lilly running from them and telling him it was all a joke and that she was here to stay. Al walked up with Winry holding his hand, Celine was right behind them and stood next to Ed. She grabed his hand but Ed didn't even react. He just stared at the woods untill he finally spoke.
"It's been four weeks and no one has found her or has gotten any clues. I won't give up searching for her. I know she's waiting for me to rescue her." Ed said still watching the woods as his silent tears fell from his eyes.
"Don't worry, Brother, we'll find her." Al said.
"I scared that we are to late, and that they have already killed her. I wish I could know something, anything." Ed said griping his hands into fist.
It's been four long weeks since I've seen her face and smelt her. It's been four weeks since I heard her laughter or her beautiful voice. I have to find her. I can't give up untill I have her home.
