Never Say Goodbye

by SydFord1012

"She'll never say goodbye" Al and Ed hasn't seen their childhood friend since they left, but when a girl marches into Roy Mustang's office saying she's his daughter, will old feelings surface back for Al? Disclaimer: I do not own Fullmetal Alchemist.

1. Prologue

There is a girl, she's running towards us.

Brother and I had just burned our house down, we were leaving for awhile so brother would join the state alchemists, we hadn't seen her since we attempted to bring mother back, and she was waiting with Winry when we got to granny's house that night. I didn't want her to see me like this.

She's caught up with us now, she grabs both of our arms, but brother could feel it because it was his good arm, how I envy him, how could I feel it? I'm just a suit of armor. She tries to catch her breath, she had ran all the way from Granny's house to catch up with us, she had her gloves on, those familiar gloves, wasn't the state alchemist who came wearing gloves like those? Except hers are black and the transmutation circle was bright red. She pulls her hands back and smiles, she has the best smile, and she says 4 words, the best words.

She says. "I won't say goodbye." And then walks away, I look at brother, he has a sad smile, he has to say goodbye to his childhood friend, but not if she won't say goodbye, she'll never say goodbye.

I don't want it to end like this. I don't want it to end at all.
