"Daiki-kun, what book is that?" asked Momo.
"It's about alchemy. I'm trying to learn alchemy for my mother so one day when she's feeling down, I can transmute her something happy."
After what Al and Ichigo has heard from upstairs, Al looked worried and walked away from Ichigo.
"Al, what's wrong? What's wrong?" Ichigo followed him to his room, but he locked her out. She banged on the door hard, but Al still hasn't let her in to talk with him.
"Alphonse! Tell me what's the matter!" Ichigo continued banging on his door. He got up from his bed and opened the door, giving her a picture of the Elric brothers and their mother with transmuted projects that they made for her before she died.
"Wait, Alphonse!" Ichigo tried to go after him, but he closed the door on time before she ever stepped foot in his room.
"Well!" she grunted, leaving the entrance of his room. While looking at the picture, she thought her mother, Sakura Momomiya.
"Maybe I can do the same for her, too," she spoke softly to herself.
In the room where Ed and Winry were, Winry was fixing Ed's automail.
"Ed...?"
"Hm?"
"About Al and Ichigo, what do you think of them?"
Ed listened to Winry gently banging her tools together as he thought about the happy couple.
"They're good, that's all I have to say before I... Z...Z..Z..Z." Ed then fell asleep. Winry sighed happily at him and pulled up the covers up to his neck.
Then came a knock on the door. Winry answered it and it was Alisa.
"Alisa, what are you--"
"It's about Daiki and Momo!" Alisa giggled.
"What about them?" said Winry.
"Daiki's trying to learn alchemy for his mother. Maybe Ed and Al can teach him the basics, since they're masters at it."
"Alisa, that's a great idea!" Winry agreed with her, and woke up Edward.
"What do you want, Winry?" he grunted at her.
"Can you teach Daiki about alchemy?" asked the two girls with big puppy eyes.
"Uh, sure.."
"Great! Just be up as soon as you get ready-- I mean, dressed." Winry clapped her hands and grabbed Alisa by the arm and dragged her off downstairs to talk with Daiki.
Downstairs, Momo was reading with Daiki silently while Alisa was cooking food for them. Winry came downstairs to meet up with Alisa and grabbed Daiki and took off running. Then, Edward got ready and went to Al's room to get him, but was in a conversation with him about Daiki learning alchemy for his mother.
"So, what DID you hear from their conversation?" he asked his little brother.
"Everything he said about alchemy. He's trying to learn so he can perform it for his mother. That's what we did for mother, too. Remember?"
"Oh yeah! We did! What's the matter with that?"
"It reminds me of mother," Al said sadly.
"Oh."
"Daiki-kun, good luck!" cheered Momohana with a happy expression on her face. She was still cheering him on while the brothers taught him the basics.
"Momo, here's a sandwich for ya," said Alisa handing her a slice of her sandwich.
"Thanks, big sister!" Momohana giggled.
Ed drew a transmutation circle for Daiki, to make sure he gets every single proportion right. Daiki drew it exactly like Ed's and slammed his hands on the circle to activate it. He transmuted a small wooden apple and the brothers were astonished to see the progress he has made now. Daiki then gave the wooden apple to Momo as a gift, and Alisa awed at her once again. The brothers then taught him how to transmute bigger objects. He succeeded that lesson, after creating a statue of Edward but not Alphonse right next to him. Daiki got tired and fell down on the ground. Ed was amazed at what Daiki did, and told him he'll take it as a gift. Al was a bit jealous and asked him if he can create one of him, too. He did what Al told him and the Alphonse statue was perfect.
Momo and Alisa clapped their hands and congratulate Daiki for doing his best.
"Thanks! I needed that!" Daiki waved at them. Ed and Al nodded at each other and smiled. Winry came outside and screamed at what she saw. She backpedaled a bit.
"SINCE WHEN DID EDWARD BECOME SO TALL ALL OF A SUDDEN?!?!" Winry screamed. Her screams were very ear piercing and very hard to control.
"Uh, the real Ed's right here," said Al pointing at Ed who was getting madder by the second.
"Oh yeah, the shrimp," she taunted Edward. He launched at her and accidentally fell on her, letting the wind closing the door for them.
"What are they doing?" asked Momo.
"Something weird, I guess," answered Al, who laughed at his brother.
Back in the house, Al was looking for Ichigo, and found out that she was sleeping in his bed because she was too tired to go out for now. He sat by her side and watched her snored gently.
He petted her as if she was his pet. He then kissed her on her forehead, letting his warm breath come to her. Ichigo opened her eyes and looked up at Al whie her head was half covered by the sheets. They both kissed as Al leaned against her. Ichigo wrapped her arms around his warm neck.
"You guys!" shouted Momo, who interrupted Al and Ichigo's moment.
"What is it, Momo?" said Ichigo.
"There's a party at Miss Hawkeye's house tomorrow!"
"How's you know about the lieutenant?" asked Alphonse.
"Thanks to Alisa who forced Edward into talking to Riza about an event, I think we can owe it to big sis!"
"What did Ed say to Alisa?" said Al.
"He didn't care what she told him. He just did it anyway because he was bored."
"Ooo! What can I wear to the party?!" Ichigo panicked, since she had all of her party dresses at Earth, her real home.
"Don't worry, Ichigo. I can make you one," Al calmed her down. She thought to herself that he's her hero.
"Thanks to you!" Ichigo gave him a quick kiss and ran downstairs to tell the others.
Winry was excited to hear about the party and tried to lay out some of the dresses she wanted to wear. Edward got his clothes all laid out on his bed and chose one suit to wear, and Alisa created her dresses from scratch in just an hour.
They all got their dresses and tuxedos ready for tomorrow.
The next day was the big day of their lives, sort of. They arrived Riza's house and greeted themselves.
"Edward and Alphonse, nice to meet you again," said Riza shaking their hands. She looked behind them and saw a few girls with them.
"Are they your dates for today?" she asked the both of them.
"Well, for Al, Ichigo's his date, but the rest of us are single," explained Edward. Riza then shook hands with the newcomers who tagged along.
"So, you're from the other world?" asked Riza.
"Yup. I was brought here to investigate a big yellow house, but once I realized I became well known around here, I told my friends from the other side that I'll come back to them in about a year or so, so yeah, I was."
"So was I!" said Momo.
"She and Alisa came here after I did. Well, a few days later, they did," Ichigo explained shyly.
None of them mentioned about Mustang's tragic death, thanks to Edward who enjoyed it very much.
"Let's go enjoy the fun!" Winry ran off inside the house. There, she met Gracia and her daughter, Elysia.
"Big sister, it's nice to meet you again!" Elysia giggled and hugged Winry tightly.
"It's nice to meet you, too!" she laughed.
Momo and Alisa came and found Winry and Elysia laughing happily together.
"That is so cute!" said Momo.
