Hey y'all. This is another little thing that was born in my mind. This chapter will be Al's POV, and the one after will be Ed's. This may be a like... 5 chapter side series or something. I dunno yet. And this one is going to be a little different from my normal ones; there is no Elricest or lemon or anything and instead of about 1,000 words, the chapters will only have about 500.

My friend inspired me to do this, so thank her. It may be a little dramatic, as will the other two that shall stem from my luxurious brain (one will be FMA, the other... I dunno yet.) Anyway. I hope you like it.


"Hey, Al, do you remember the time we were in the West with Havoc?" As I enter the room, a laundry basket in my hand, I rack my brain for the time he is speaking of. Coming up with nothing, I sit down and begin folding clothes.

"No. Can you describe it a little?"

"Havoc got drunk and started to flirt with this girl at the bar. It was just before you got your body back."

I set a folded shirt aside, picking up another. Recently Brother has gotten into this reminiscent mood; always asking me if I remember things, which sometimes I don't. Sometimes it seems like he makes up memories because he runs out of actual ones, but then he produces pictures to prove it. "I don't remember that at all."

"What about when we were up at the North to visit Armstrong's sister? It was pretty fun, wasn't it?"

I stop folding and look up at him, an eyebrow raised. "When have we ever been up North? And since when does Armstrong have a sister?" My eyes widen in surprise as he rushes and sits next to me, taking my face in his hands.

"Al... Somethings wrong with you."

"What do you mean? Nothing's wrong with me."

"We spent three months up North and you're saying you have no recollection of what happened up there." He stares into my eyes for a moment, assessing me before releasing me and going into the kitchen, where the phone is.

"Ed, this isn't funny... If you're making this up again..."

"I haven't made anything up!"

"Yes you have! These past two months you've been making up false memories and making me think they're real!"

"No, Al! You have it all wrong! I haven't lied about anything!"

"I bet you staged those pictures, too!"

"I didn't, I swear!"

"But that time with Havoc... The last time I remember seeing Havoc was a month ago, in the East." I walk in after him, true fear striking my soul. "My last memory is going to see Mrs. Hughes after Maes died... Just before I got my body back, right? We went to see her and Elysia and then we found out how to get my body back... That's what happened, isn't it?"

He turns to me, a muffled voice coming from the phone. "Al... Hughes died over two years ago."
