Chapter 3

The rocket engineers

Ed and Al arrived at the Alphons's factory. Most of his friends still worked there making rockets and inventing new ways to go up to space even if there was no use now. It was for no one. Not the Nazis and not the government. It was as if not to forget their dear friend Alphons like when Al read books on alchemy as if not to forget Ed when they were separated.

Ed knocked. A young engineer, one of Alphons's good friends answered.

"Ed? It's…been a long time," the young man muttered. It appeared that they still grieved for their friend.

"Yeah. Sorry but we came to ask a favor," said Al pushing Ed aside, "It's alright Brother. I'll do the talking. It's better that way."

"Fine!" Ed grumbled, "I was the one with the idea…"

"What's up?" asked the boy, "You can ask us. It's alright…" Little did he know they were being watched.

"Well…" Al began and told the story. He hoped they would understand but he believed in them nonetheless.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Envy squinted through the broken window of the factory. He was eavesdropping of their conversation even if he already knew their intentions. Envy had returned to the other side of the Gate. He didn't know why he went to that little town of Risembool where the squirt lived. He passed the home of Izumi Curtis, the squirt's teacher. And he even eavesdropped on the conversation between the Full Metal squirt's girlfriend and apparently "only his mechanic" and Izumi Curtis's husband. They saw him running through the meadow. Envy had just felt like doing that at the time. He knew Full Metal wasn't there.

Damn, the window was really dirty and dusty and had cracks and holes. He didn't need to see much though and was just on his guard in case he was discovered.

"What are you doing?" said a voice behind him. A dark figure was standing behind him. It was already night but wasn't so dark but the figure was pitch black. Envy stood up quickly.

"Who are you? I can't talk right here. I'll be discovered," he said quietly. Envy hopped in the direction of an empty meadow.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Winry was cleaning the dishes after supper. Pinako and Rose suddenly entered the room.

"Ed…once told me of his adventures," she said.

"What?" exclaimed Rose.

"Ed…told me what he did," she repeated. She began the tale of the across the Gate and Alphons Heiderich. At the end, they were both surprised.

"Ed…never tells you about what he does," said Rose. She looked at Winry in surprise and Den barked.

"It was as if to remember Alphons," she said, "To pass on the story so no one would forget, even if we live across the Gate from them."

AN: Now then, unfortunately the chapter is finished. SO how'you like it? Please drop a review on the way. Next will be up soon promise!!
