When you're a kid you have these crazy dreams, crazy ambitions. Al wanted to become a teacher. Winry… well, hers was always to become a mechanic- but she dreamed of making different things. Both of them had so many dreams.

I'm sure I had many dreams myself, but it was funny, I didn't remember any of them...

No matter how hard I tried to remember, I didn't recall a single dream I had as a child. Did I want to become a teacher or a mechanic myself? How about a doctor or someone famous? No… maybe I didn't want any of those things.

As I laid in the grass I used my metal fingers to trace the starry sky. I breathed a sigh of relief. Really, it was ok that I didn't remember my dreams. The world kept spinning as my life continued onwards.

I blinked when I suddenly felt the soft touch of someone's finger gently running down my cheek. I slowly turned my head and found a pair of ocean blue eyes looking at me. "Are you ready to go?" A voice as soft as steady waves of a sea asked.

Without even a thought I felt my lips turn ever so slightly upwards. "If that's what you want."

The eyes that mirrored the ocean turned to the person to their other side. "Let's go Al."

I sat up in a sitting position as I saw Winry and Al both stand. My human brother brushed the dirt off his pants while Winry grabbed the blanket that she had been laying on.

I looked back to the starry sky. It was a clear night, it looked like an endless black sea sprinkled with twinkling diamonds.

It didn't matter what my dreams used to be, those times were gone.

"Ed, are you coming?"

My future was like the sky, clear and shining brightly ahead.
