December 10th 1915 would be forever remembered by the people of Amisteris as the day their hero died. On that day thousands mourned his loss, however anyone who actually knew him in person just laughed.
Roy Mustang finished reading the headline with a chuckle. "I have got to show him this" he said to himself leaving the Rockbell house to find the boy he wanted.
He found the boy near the river up in a tree asleep. Roy threw the rolled up paper at the boys head startling him awake and causing him to fall out of the tree.
"What the …" the boy started complaining, rubbing his head
"Read the headline story" Roy smirked
"Why?"
"Just do it, its entertaining"
"Whatever," the boy rolled his eyes and picked up the paper then he began reading out loud. "Death of a hero yesterday all of Amisteris mourned the loss of the young Edward Elric the Fullmetal Alchemist. He was known as the hero of the people and lived up to that title…" the boy had to stop reading because he had started cracking up through just reading that.
"read on, it gets better" Roy said through his own laughing
"…it is reported that he died during the completion of his greatest achievement in true hero style…" the boy paused "true hero style? What dose that mean?"
"I have no clue" Roy shrugged
"…this was the return of his brothers body…" at this the boy glared up at Roy "how did they find out about that?!" he demanded
"If you're asking if I told them I didn't, I have no clue as to how they found that out"
The boy looked doubtful but turned his attention back to the paper "…he will be missed" the boy ignored all the long heartfelt interviews at the end.
"So?" Roy asked
"So what?"
"So, what are you going to do?"
"About what?" the boy asked innocently
Roy frowned "you know what, are you going to fix this Ed?"
"Nah" Ed shrugged "being 'dead' might have its advantages"
"Like what?" Roy asked
"Well, I don't have to put up with anymore stupid missions" Ed grinned "or bastard colonels either"
"Aw Ed now you have hurt my feelings" Roy said with mock sorrow "however what about if people see you? Don't tell me you plan on going in disguise everywhere. The whole country thinks your dead!"
"Yeah well, most of the country seems to think that hero's all die young, right after their 'greatest achievement',"Ed scoffed "besides who says that I won't do something even greater?"
"Well I hope you work it out somehow" Roy sighed watching Ed climb back into the tree
"I will, later" Ed responded settling back down on a branch "hey Roy, why do they think I died anyways?"
"Someone found your automail and your bloody trench coat at the site."
"And then the brilliant military put two and two together and came out with fifteen" Ed sighed "why am I not surprised"
"Well I have to go my train will leave soon, good luck being a ghost" Roy said turning to leave. Just as he did Al ran up out of breath
"Brother, have you heard?" Al asked catching his breath "they think you died!"
"It's ok Al, I know." Ed said "however… they are half right" he said looking at Roy
"What?" Al asked confused
"The Fullmetal alchemist is dead" Roy stated catching Ed's drift
"What!!!" Al started panicking
"It's ok Al," Ed assured his brother "I retired, so I'm not the Fullmetal alchemist any more" Ed and Roy started laughing and Al was still confused but if Ed wasn't worried then he wouldn't worry about it either.
Yup thats about all, plase R & R yay!
