Song: If today was your last day
Artist: Nickelback
Characters: Britt (OC) and Al
I got the idea for this one while thinking about the lyrics for some unknown reason, and then I thought about Ed and Al and how they pretty much live by this... Hope you enjoy! ^^

Al noticed that Britt was looking really confused on their way back to East after they visited Pinako and Winry in Resembool. He ran up to her and wrapped his arms around her waist.
"What's up?" He asked. Britt blushed a little before going back to her confused expression and saying
"How are we going to get Ed's limbs back? There doesn't seem to be anyway of obtaining a philosophers stone. Where do we start? What do we do?" She seemed to babble on a little. "Also, how are we going to get to Bec without being caught by the homunculi? She is all the way in Dublith and after almost killing Envy (If that's possible) when we were on the train to Remada they have been wanting to catch us." Al sighed.
"Don't worry about it, we'll eventually find a way to sort all of that out."

"My brother gave me the best advice"
"He said each day's a gift and not a given right"
"Leave no stone unturned, leave your fears behind"
"And try to take the path less travelled by"
"That first step you take is the longest stride" They began to walk into town.
"If today was your last day and tomorrow was too late"
"Could you say goodbye to yesterday?"
"Would you live each moment like your last" He pointed out some kids running down the street and having the time of their lives.
"Leave old pictures in the past?"
"Donate every dime you had, if today was your last day?" He dropped a few coins into a begger's hat.
"What if, what if, if today was your last day?" He took her hand and led her toward Eastern command where Ed was fighting Roy for his exam.
"Against the grain should be a way of life"
"What's worth the price is always worth the fight"
"Every second counts 'caus there's no second try"
"So live like you're never living twice" They watched Ed and Roy dodge each other's attacks. For Ed this was a once-in-a-lifetime-chance to kick the crap out of Roy and not get in trouble for it.
"Don't take the free ride in your own life"
"If today was your last day and tomorrow was too late"
"Could you say goodbye to yesterday?"
"Would you live each moment like your last?"
"Leave old pictures in the past?"
"Donate every dime you had?" They walked into Eastern command and saw Maes Hughes on the phone to one of his old friends; bragging about Elysia.
"And would you call those friends you never see?"
"Reminisce old memories?"
"Would you forgive your enemies?"
"And would you find that one you're dreaming of?" He turned to Britt and looked into her eyes.
"Swear up and down to God above"
"That you'd finally fall in love?" He held Britt in his arms and kissed her on the cheek.
"If today was your last day?" they walked up to a girl who was sobbing alone in a corner.
"If today was your last day"
"Would you make your mark by mending a broken heart?" Britt consoled the girl and followed Al back outside.
"You know it's never too late to shoot for the stars"
"Regardless of who you are"
"So do whatever it takes"
"'Caus you can't rewind a moment in this life"
"Let nothing stand in your way"
"'Caus the hands of time are never on your side"
"If today was your last day and tomorrow was too late"
"Could you say goodbye to yesterday?"
"Would you live each moment like your last?"
"Leave old pictures in the past?" He pulled out a picture of himself when he was in the armour and threw it away.
"Donate every dime you had?"
"And would you call those friends you never see?"
"Reminisce old memories?"
"Would you forgive your enemies?"
"And would you find that one you're dreaming of?" He looked to Britt.
"Swear up and down to God above"
"That you'd finally fall in love" He kissed her tenderly.
"If today was your last day?" Britt smiled; she never thought that Al was spontaneously burst out in song like that.
