“Eli sorry but we need to get going. We have to give a report to Colonel Mustang.” Said Ed. Eli looked at Ed with eyes so sad they could have been the sorrows of a whole country.

“I see.” Was all she said.

“Eli why don't you come with us, I am sure you haven't talked to your uncle in a while. Plus by now he must require you to give a report also.” Suggested Alphonse. Eli shook her head.

“My orders are to stay until I receive further instructions.” She turned her back to them.

“Don't even listen to that crap! They haven't sent you one blasted order since you've been here right? Just come with us, besides you have already taken care of the problem.” Said Edward. Eli turned around and smiled.

“Ok, it's settled. We leave tomorrow morning.” She said.

They woke up bright and early to be sure as to not miss the train. They paid for there tickets and boarded. Eli and Ed shared a seat since Al's armor took up a whole seat. The whistle blew and Ed was fast asleep on Eli's shoulder. She blushed but then her complexion was as it should be. She looked out the window and said,

“You know, I wonder what everyone is doing in central.”

“I am sure there still being lazy.” Said Al.

“Yeah especially my uncle!” she said with a laugh. Moments passed before she too was asleep.

“Colonel, Sir.” Said lieutenant Hawkeye as she peeked in Roy's office. “The ceremony is about to begin.” He nodded and followed her out to the courtyard where all the personnel were waiting. The Furher stood in the center of the crowd. He raised his hand to speak.

“Fellow soldiers. It is with great honor that we have been able to have a skilled alchemist in our order. It is even greater to have two. Two young children obeying the laws of the military. Unfortunately, we have received word that one of our best state alchemists has been killed in action. As you may know, Miss Elina Clark was the niece of our very own Colonel Mustang. Today we mark the beginning of the end for Elina Clark, The Element Alchemist. Soldiers, it is with extreme remorse that I say these words, so abide kindly in them. Elina Clark, Element Alchemist, we bid thee farewell.” A gun shot loudly through the air followed by a trumpet. The soldiers layed flowers at Roy's feet. He had his hat pulled down so no one could see his face. Hawkeye stayed to comfort him as it began to rain.

Meanwhile, Alphonse had about knocked his brother out of the seat to wake him and Eli up.

“We're here already?” Said Ed groggily. They walked off the train to be covered from head to toe in rain. They ran inside the station to escape the downpour.

“Here Eli take my jacket, don't want you to get sick.” Ed said smiling. Eli took the jacket and put it on blushing.

“Guess we should make our way to the headquarters.” Said Eli. They walked in the rain, no more like ran, to reach the building. They ran up the steps and in the front door.

Edward walked up to the receptionist and held out his watch,

“Colonel Mustang please.” The receptionist nodded for them to go on through. They knocked on Roy's door expecting to here a cheery `come in', only to discover complete silence. “Hmm. Maybe he fell asleep.” He opened the door to find Roy in his chair facing the window behind the desk. “Hi Ya Colonel!” Roy didn't even turn around in his chair.

“Hello Fullmetal, what brings you here?” he said sounding depressed.

“What do you mean, I am supposed to give my report of—“ Roy cut Edward off and said

“Darn that's right, ok Ed spill it.” He turned around to was in shock at who he saw standing before him. Ed was confused at his superiors reaction.

“Uhhh Colonel?” Roy stood up and walked towards Eli. She looked at him funny, and he to her. He flicked her on the forehead.

“OW! What did you do that for?” she said putting a hand to her forehead. Roy grabbed Eli in the worlds biggest bear hug.

“Elina! You're alive! Oh thank God!” he squizzed her tight a she gasped for air and did her best to mask the pain he had caused since her wounds weren't yet healed.

“Umm…Roy..could you put…me down now?” she managed to say.

“Oh sorry. Eli I cant believe it the Furher was wrong.”

“Wrong about what?”

“About you being dead.”

“Do I look dead to you?”

“No.”

Ed looked at them both and was confused. Eli and Roy hugged, less painfully, and smiled.

“I missed you Uncle.” She said a tear streaming down her face, and went unnoticed.
