All right so it's March break and I have watched WAY too much Chrono Crusade. I decided to run it out of my system by reading Memoir's of a Geisha, and then I thought wow I haven't updated ANY of my stories since last year. So I did Inney Meaney Miney Moe and there you have it an update for With Love From Home and Beyond the Gate. Please enjoy
With Love From Home and Beyond the Gate
Roy was still astounded that Edward had come home. He could only imagine what the looks on everyone's faces would be upon seeing their colonel, after all those years. That's when Roy remembered it was the 4th anniversary of Edward's disappearance and like every year a small memorial service was thrown in the military where the officers and some of Edward's friends would attend and try to keep his memory alive.
Roy told Ed about this little gathering and Ed smiled "I haven't seen them in ages!" Ed shouted slightly startling Roy and Havoc who needed to get re-acquainted with Ed's lack of volume control "What say you Noah?" Ed smiled at the shy beauty next to him "I would love to meet you're friends." Noah smiled. Edward grabbed her hand and the two ran ahead laughing like children. Roy smiled at the thought when Havoc decided to ruin the Disney magic. "Sir you are fully aware of the commotion Colonel Elric's sudden arrival at his memorial service will cause?" Roy slapped Havoc on the back and let out a laugh. "Havoc" he began "We could use some commotion."
Chapter two
At the memorial service everyone was trying to remember the good times they had when Ed was around, but only succeeded in being reminded how sad it was when he "died". Naturally all the military from central was there, as well as the Tringham brothers, Gracia and Alysia, Winry and Pinako, Shezka and Alphonse (who was human again)
Winry was on the verge of tears trying to be strong unlike every year before. Al placed his hand on her shoulder "Winry you know, no one will judge you if you cry." Al reminded her for the third time that day. Winry smiled at the gesture and in a shaky voice replied "Ya, I know Al. Thanks."
Everyone was trying to have a good time but they felt so miserable. That's when all of a sudden at the back the room a very familiar voice shouted "Geeze you'd think I was dead the way you guys are carrying on!" Everyone turned to the back of the room to see Fuhrer Mustang and Lt. Havoc, a young girl they'd never seen before and Colonel Edward Elric with a smile plastered to his face. Roy laughed held up Ed's hand and said "Look what I found on my way here."
Everyone ran at Ed laughing, crying, and or yelling. Winry and Al managed to push their way through to where Ed was standing amongst the sea of people. "ED!" the two shouted. Ed looked at them and raced forward to hug them. "Winry" Ed smiled "it's been forever since I've seen you, Automail junkie!" Winry started crying "Likewise alchemy freak!" she laughed. Ed turned to Al "Oh my god" Ed shouted "Al! You've got your body back!" Al nodded "You've gotten taller brother!" Al laughed "And what's THAT supposed to mean?" Ed yelled at his younger brother angrily Al laughed sheepishly and backed away "Nothing brother" he stammered "It didn't mean anything"

As the memorial service went on it turned in to a welcome back party. Everyone was laughing and dancing Ed wasn't left alone for a minute. Everyone wanted to talk to him, to the side of the room stood Winry just happy to have the love of her life back with her. Winry smiled at this thought and then realized the girl Ed brought with him was standing beside her. "You must be Winry Rockbell." The girl smiled. Winry smiled back "Yes I am, and who might you be?" she asked politely. "I am the gypsy Noah." She stated warmly then her face grew serious "I see how you look at Edward" she said with venom dripping off her every word. Winry was taken aback by this. Noah had seemed so sweet up until now. Noah continued "Let,s get something straight Miss. Rockbell. I am in love with Edward, and YOU will not stand in the way of me winning his heart. Is that clear?" Noah said harshly. Winry felt as if the blood in her veins was set ablaze. "What's clear" Winry began "Is that YOU are going to stand in the way of ME winning his heart." Noah growled. "Fine" Noah said "May the best woman win." Winry and Noah shook hands sealing their little love competition.
Meanwhile Ed had a sudden shill run up his spine. "Is everything all right brother?" Alphonse asked in concern. Ed looked at his younger brother "Ya" Ed said "I just had this really weird feeling something bad is going to happen."

Ok I have no idea if this is good or not. I woke up at 4 a.m. and I'm hyped on grilled cheese. Constructive criticism is welcomed and I hope no one yells at me.
