The Twelve months of letters
November 13
Dear Ed,
I miss you. Being at this house alone makes me well…lonely. I wish that we could be together again. I've heard that you have stopped searching for the Stone. You idiot! I told you not to worry about me. I'm perfectly fine. I know that I won't be able to hear your answer, but how's Sarah? Is she ok? I really miss all of you. Tell Winry that when I get back that I need a replacement leg. I'm starting to grow out of it. Unlike you! Ha ha ha ha! Ok…ok I'm done laughing. Oh, and I'll tell you something. These people around here are creeps. I'm planning to move, and soon. I hope that you are okay.
You know that I love you

Dear Ed,
Hello, again. I miss you twice as much then the last time I wrote to you. Everything is so cold. Even my leg. I'm frozen to the metal. However, don't worry. I'm staying with an elderly couple, and their house is comfortable. I heard that you broke off your arm. The one that I fixed! Oh, well. When I get back, I'll fix it again. I miss the feeling of your lips against mine. It seems as though it has been two decades, rather than two months. But we will be together soon. Ha! You should see me! I'm practically bawling my eyes out!
I love you
Lana
P.S. I'm not as far away from you as you think.

Dear Ed,
Happy New Year! I hope you got my Christmas Present along with this. Do you like it? I hope you do. I drew it myself. So, how was your Christmas? Please tell me that you at least paid a visit to Winry, Grams, and Sarah! I know that they miss you. Winry wants me to tell you that she kind of forgot one of the pieces to your arm. Oops! Well, we're another month closer to finally meeting again. I can't wait! I'm not sure when you guys' birthday is, but I want to wish you a Happy Birthday in advance. So, Ed, you got your braid cut off? Hmm…in my mind, you still look hot! I'm still at the Old Folk's Place if you know whom I'm talking about.
Love Ya!
Lana
P.S. My birthday was yesterday! I just turned seventeen! Yea go me!
February 13
Dear Ed,
Love is in the air! I love you! I hope that you are still reading my letters. They are the only thing that keep me going. I've told you once, and I'll tell you again, "STOP TRYING TO FIND ME!" It's actually getting quite annoying, but a promise is a promise. Be at Grams' place on Oct. 13. I figured out that there is a train coming in that night. I am going to be so happy when I see you. Being without you is as if…I can't even explain it, it's so terrible. Happy Valentine's Day! Tell Winry and the gang that I love them, and miss them terribly. It really makes me happy to see that you have been looking for the Stone again.
Luv always
Lana
P.S. I won't exactly look the same when I get back.
March 13
Dear Ed,
Happy St. Patty's Day! GOD! There seems to be a freaking holiday every month. Still missing you. Hope you miss me as much as I do you. Well, at least we're even closer than ever. It really makes me smile when I see you studying in the library. You look so serious with your face buried in a book. See, I'm closer than you think! I want to talk to you, but I know that I can't. I'm sorry if you are mad that I can see you, but you can't see me, but I had to. You can understand that, right?
I Luvs You
Lana
P.S. I'm always there for you.
April 13
Dear Ed,
APRIL FOOL'S DAY! Well, it's just another holiday, right? There are only six more months until we can see each other. I can't write much. I've kind of been busy doing other things. I could tell you, but then you would know where I was. I'm sorry. I miss you so.
Love every day
Lana
P.S. If you need more info on Philo's Stone, try the library in the city beside Central.

Dear Ed,
I MISS YOU! I haven't been able to see you for a while. Now I know how you feel. It's terrible. Did you check out that library? It had a lot of info when Sarah and I were in it. That was where we used to live. If you see the house three buildings down, that's my old house. I don't know who lives in it now, but we used to have so much fun in the yard. Sarah and I would use Alchemy to make a house, and we would pretend that I was the mother, and she was my daughter. It was fun back then.
LOVE!
Lana

Dear Ed,
It's warm finally! I had to actually take my jacket off! YES! I miss you even more than I miss the rain! How I LOVE the rain! Well, there are only four more months, and that's it. I can't wait! I was walking down the street one day, and there was a guy asking for you. He was really muscular, and he had a moustache. Anyone familiar? I think that his name was Armstrong or something like that. What ever.
I love you more than the RAIN
Lana
August 13
Dear Ed,
I AM SOOOOO SORRY! I wish that I could have written to you last month, but I was on the run. Some weird little guy tried to eat me or something. I don't know. It was really weird. So I ran for my life. Oh, crap! I think he's back! Sorry that I had to cut this letter short, but I really got to go!
I love you so much it hurts
Lana
September 13
Dear Ed,
My last letter to you. Only 31 days until we meet again. I love you so much. I've decided to keep this letter short. I LOVE YOU!
LOVE and PEACE!
Lana
"My last letter," Ed whispered as he tucked the small piece of paper into his jacket.
Author's Note: Please review! It would mean a lot to me!!! PLEASE!
