Ed Elric pushed himself out of bed. He felt a tug on his hair; he turned to see a sleepy eyed unicorn with some of his hair in her mouth.
"Good morning Twi." Ed said with a smile. Twilight let his hair fall out of her mouth.
"Ed? What Time is it?"
"6 am." Ed said.
"Then come back to bed. Nopony's up yet. Luna's still in charge." Twilight said, her right hoof falling on his automail right hand. She shivered at the feel of the metal.
"Ed, when will you tell me how you got this?" Ed sighed.
"You really want to know?"
"Of course I do Ed, I'm your fillyfriend. I love you Edward Elric, no matter what." Twilight said wrapping her arms around Ed's chest.
"Even if I attempted to cheat Death?" Twilight gasped.
"You did what?"
"Long story. My mother had died, and my brother and I found out about human transmutation. We thought we could ignore the law of Equivalent Exchange. We were fools."
*Flashback*
"Ready brother?" asked a young Alphonse.
"Yeah." said young Ed clapped his hands together and activated the Alchemy Circle with his brother. The try in the center spun and a golden light filled the room. Ed and Al smiled, until the light became black and purple. Suddenly a huge eye opened in the center of the room. Ed was dragged into it and saw the secrets of Alchemy, gaining the ability to use himself as a transmutation circle. When he returned to reality, his left leg was gone… along with Al.
"NO! No, you can't have Al! Give him back! Take whatever you want from me; just give me back my little brother!" Ed cried as he drew a transmutation circle in a suit of armor using the blood from his leg. He sealed Al's soul into the armor, at the cost of his right arm. Al carried Ed to a family friend and Ed used the money their mother left them to buy automail from the Rockbells.
*End Flashback*
"Ed, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to bring up such horrible memories." Twilight said. Ed smirked at Twilight's apology.
"Don't apologize to me, Twi. If you don't mind; I'd like to sing a song." Twilight pulled a pillow up and propped her head up. (She's siting on her flank and holding the pillow in her fore legs in front of her chest). Ed cleared his thought and began to sing.
In this farewell
There's no blood
There's no alibi
'Cause I've drawn regret
From the Truth
Of a thousand lies
So let mercy come
And wash away
What I've done
I'll face myself
To cross out what I've become
Erase myself
And let go of what I've done
Put to rest
What you thought of me
While I clean this slate
With the hands of uncertainty
So let mercy come
And wash away
What I've done
I'll face myself
To cross out what I've become
Erase myself
And let go of what I've done
For what I've done
I start again
And whatever pain may come
Today this ends
I'm forgiving what I've done!
I'll face myself
To cross out what I've become
Erase myself
And let go of what I've done
What I've done
Forgiving what I've done
Twilight's eyes were filled with tears.
"Dear sweet Celestia. Ed…. That was beautiful!" Twilight said, wrapping her arms around Ed. He picked her face up to face his. Ed wiped away her tears.
"Don't cry, Twi." Ed kissed her lips, slowly deepening the kiss. Twilight moaned in pleasure.
"I've got to go now Twi. I'm teaching Shadow and Johnny how to transmutate." Ed said, putting his filly friend down.
"I love you, Edward Elric." Ed chuckled at the fact she said his full name.
"I love you too, Twilight Sparkle."
