Goodbye For Good…

I was in the underground city with Sheska. I didn't understand it all, but people from the other side of the gate were invading our world. I saw Ed and gave him some automail, and then he told us to hide when we saw more rocket ships were coming through. Once things seemed to have calmed down a bit Sheska and I found out way to the surface. Things looked like a war zone. Buildings were collapsing or had been hit badly. Gunshots could be heard in the distance, and the rockets could be seen in the sky.

I could barely make out Ed, Al and General Mustang on one ship and Ed and Al go inside. I hoped that they would be ok, and a few minutes later all the fighting seemed to die down, and everyone seemed to have the feeling it was over. However I had another feeling as well, and I didn't like it. I looked back up at the ship I saw Ed and Al go in and saw that it was now in two pieces; one slowly drifting away from the other. Then the ship suddenly took off in the direction of the underground city.

"That's Ed, I know it" I said. Sheska looked at me, but said nothing.

That was the feeling I had: Ed was going to leave again…without saying goodbye.

"I guess this is goodbye for good" I said.

I loved him, I had for a while now, but now I would never see him again. I tried to hold back my tears, but I couldn't so I ended up breaking down. Sheska tried to comfort me, but I barely knew she was actually there. I never saw Edward or Alphonse cry, I wondered if they ever cried at all. Then I realized that this was the last time I would cry for him, but I knew from now on I would cry about him no matter how much time passed. This was goodbye: I would never see him again and would have to move on no matter how painful it would be.

"Goodbye Edward"
