Don't panic. My shift key isn't working right. This is the sequel to Is This It's Supposed to Go? so don't read unless you've read it or want spoilers.

Ed sighed, opening her eyes. The room she was in was unfamiliar and there was somebody in bed with her. She almost panicked. Wait a moment. I know where am I. This is a hotel room in the middle of nowhere, Amestris and as for the person beside me… that's… my husband… She sighed again. "Mamma mia."

Roy chuckled. "Oh, what a night. When is it?"

"December 28th, 1924."

"Thanks," he sighed and closed his eyes.

"Roy?" she asked softly.

He heard her. "You called me by my first name! You never call me by my first name."

She got tackled. "Okay, sorry, Colonel Mustard."

He nuzzled her neck. "Call me by my first name again."

"Alright, alright. Fine, Roy, are you happy now?"

"Very."

"You know, if somebody had told me the day Al and I tried to bring Mother back to life that I was going to marry the first stranger I encountered after that, I would have called them crazy."

"You did though," he pointed out. "You married me less than 24 hours ago. I love you, Edwarda Felicity."

"You used to always call me Fullmetal," she said. "Now, it's always the first name or the first and the middle name."

"What about the full name? I pull that out occasionally."

"Yeah, whenever I'm in trouble."

"Edwarda Felicity Mustang," he whispered, kissing her neck.

"Or you're feeling romantic."

"I have an idea," he suggested. "Let's go back to sleep."

They slept until dawn when he woke her up. "What?"

"I don't mean to wake you up, it's only loneliness just coming on. Come watch the no colors fade blazing into petals' spray of violets of dawn."
