The 'END' of the Story's End.

Disclaimer: I do not own FMA (though I wish I do…), respecting FMA, I will do my best to make this Fic' realistic and acceptable. Hope you guys enjoy it! ^_^

(Authors side note: This story takes place after the movie "The Conqueror of Shamballa", though I fast forwarded it to the part where the Elric Brothers have already taken care of the Uranium Bomb and are now living in the 'Other' world trying as hard as they can to fit in. PS. Instead of basing the events before the movie to the anime version, I based it instead on the Manga/Brotherhood version)

Chapter 1 – After All that's Happened.

2 years has passed since the gates were last opened, times have changed and peace is already at arms reach both in the 'Alchemy' world and the 'Other' world.

"Hey Brother! Quit slacking off! We need to finish chopping fire wood before it gets too dark!" Alphonse Elric shouted over his shoulder addressing his older brother Edward who was taking a break from chopping wood & lay down on his back to watch the sky fill with stars.

"Ah, we already have enough to last us for a week…" Edward answered back in defense, "And besides, it 'IS' dark" He complained while staring back at the stars.

"Jeez Brother! You're so lazy! You just want to relax!" Alphonse retorted as he too laid down next to Edward and resigned from chopping wood. They both gazed at the stars for a while before Edward interrupted the silence.

"Hey, Al…"

"Yes, Brother?"

"Do you miss home?"

"Huh? What do you mean brother? Our house is just at the end of this trail" Al sat up and pointed the direction of their new home.

"No, I mean, our old home, in Amestris."

Alphonse stared at his brother, a little surprised with his brother's sudden question.

"But brother, we don't have a home there anymore, you said so yourself?!"

"Winry said we do…" Ed gazed at Al, his eyes filled with certainty. "Winry said we're family." Edward looked back at the sky again. "Winry and Old Lady Pinako, they're family…"

Alphonse smiled at the thought 'Family' and added, "Don't forget about Den brother" He then laid back down next to Edward and once again stared at the now star filled sky.

"Now, you take care of your automail! If you don't oil it every once in a while it'll rust again!" Winry Rockbell called after her customer who has just bid her goodbye.

"Yes Ms. Rockbell!"

Smiling at herself. Winry re-entered her work room and started to pick up tools she left on her desk after re-tuning and oiling her customer's automail.

"Some people just don't know how to take care of their automail, Mr. Smith is just like Edwa~" she paused, her smile instantly gone, "Oh, that guy." Her smile re-appearing on her lips, a sad aura emanating from them. "I wonder if he's looking after his automail properly…." She wondered, continuing to tidy up her work space.

"Winry! Someone is here looking for you!" Lady Pinako called up from the stairs.

"Coming Grandma!"

***

Dashing down the stairs, Winry headed directly for the front door. "Who is it Gran~" Stopping on her tracks Winry stared in amazement. After the gates were closed she rarely received calls from people at central, and so, standing here face to face with the Fuhrer wasn't something she ever expected to happen, even if she did knew him.

"Fuhrer Mustang? What brings you here?" She asked in surprise.

"Come now, Winry, you can still call me Roy" Roy Mustang smiled at her, offering his hand to shake.

(Note: I know it's a custom that the 'Woman' offers HER hand to shake when it's a MAN-to-WOMAN situation, but since Winry is a bit in a state of shock, Roy offered his hand to shake to break the Ice. *ComArts 101*)

"Ah, yes, sorry. I guess I couldn't put aside the 'Fuhrer' part easily!" She shook his hand with hers while giving off an embarrassed-smile. "So, what brings you here? Did something happen? I didn't expect the 'Fuhrer' to drop by, why didn't you just call Mr. Mustang?"

"I have news for you Winry, and the contents of which isn't something others should here about." Roy gave her a loaded glance before stepping inside.

"News?" Winry asked in astonishment. She wasn't expecting news, and she definitely had no idea what Roy was talking about. "News about what sir?" she asked while gesturing Roy towards the kitchen.
