Winry! Wait! No! I'm sorry, don't hit me with the –"

BANG! "

Wrench." Ed concluded rubbing the large bump on the side of his head. Winry turned around, letting out an angry snort."

Serves you right, Ed, for insulting my cooking yet again." She retorted smiling in satisfaction. Ed stood up groaning.

"Man woman! Do you always keep grudges!" he pressed on as Winry tightened her grip on her wrench that remained in her left hand. He just didn't know when to stop.

Just then his vision had began to go blurry and the image of Winry staggered and drifted into the approaching darkness.

No! Winry! Winry! Win-.." he woke up with a start as someone was forcefully shaking him. It took a minute to calm himself down from the shock.

"Was it just a dream?" he asked as the room stopped spinning and the scene began to become quite clear. Ed then turned to the person at the side of his bed that had shaken him awake.

Al looked worriedly at his older brother. "Ni-san are you alright?" he asked.

Nodding Ed sighed, knowing that it was just a dream. The facts began to sink into his mind as it did almost every night for awhile.

It had been almost a year since both he and Al had been teleported into a world where alchemy wasn't known and reasonably replaced with machines.

Some of these machines could fly high in the sky at fast breaking speeds and were able to drop small explosion devices, called bombs, that were big enough to wipe out a whole neighborhood or town in a matter of seconds, without the use of a transmutation circle of any kind.

A world where everyone they knew from the other had a double, a world that had existed on the other side of the gate, and they were in it.

Lying back down, he stared at the clock that hung on the other side of the room and rolled his eyes as it rang 2 in the morning. Well at least he could say that he got three hours of sleep tonight, instead of his usual one to two.

"You were having another dream about her again, weren't you?" asked Al breaking the uneasy silence.

"Yeah, but by now you should know that we have tried almost every way possible to try and get back, but its just no use. Maybe if we come to accept that this world is our new home, we can move on." Replied Ed, regretting some of the things he had just said.

Al remained silent. "Well I don't know about you, but I am going to continue looking for a way back. I will never give up, and neither should you!" stated Alphonse, in an excited tone.

Ed just smiled. It never ceased to amaze him, which despite all they went through, his younger brother still had the faith and courage to go on. To try and make things right.

He sat back up. "Alright then. If you won't give up then neither will I. We will find a way back. I promise." He remarked looking back at Al.

They both nodded in agreement, that no matter, what it takes.

No matter what the hardships may be.

No matter what the cost.

That together they were going to find a way back home and to the people they cared most about!
