I do not own FMA! If i did Ed and Al really would be comin' back to their world and not ours. It's too boring here don't you agree... Well to the story! :)

After Ed's little discussion with Chris he had stayed in the kitchen to think. He knew that everyone else was on the living room talking but he stayed there sitting at the small metal table that Pinaco had put in the kitchen. So she really lost her twin sister. I don't know how she can still smile after all that's happened to her. She lost her parents, her twin, and now she has a disease that is causing her pain yet she still laughs and smiles like any normal girl. How dose she do it? As Ed was concluding his thoughts he heard the chair in front of him squeak.

""Hey Ed." Willow said as she sat down in the white painted chair. "Sorry 'bout worrying you guys…" Ed just sighed and shook his head.

'There's nothing to be sorry about. You were visiting your family and I don't blame you for that." Silence reined over them for a few moments until Willow broke it.

"I just heard 'bout your mom…" He looked into her eyes and saw them darken if only a bit. "I know what it feels like to lose someone… so you know… you can always talk to me." She looked up with a smile. "Because I know for sure that I will listen." Ed smiled back and said, "Thanks Willow, you really are a great person." Willow blushed at his complement and Ed noticed this.

"T-thanks Ed." She took a deep breath after talking, like she had been holding it. Ed smiled a crooked smile and then looked out the window.

"Same goes for you though…" Willow looked surprised for only a moment but she smiled and looked out the window as well.

"Just to tell you Ed you are welcome to come to my house at any time." She informed him. He nodded and Willow stood up to leave.

"See you tomorrow?" She asked with out turning around.

"Yeah." Ed said. Willow smiled as she walked back home. When Willow got home she received a long lecture about how stupid it was to go off on her own in the middle of the night. Then after the lecture she just trudged her way back up the stairs. The got into a pair of sweats and a long shirt, though she knew she wouldn't be able to get to sleep again. Willow looked at herself in her full body mirror. She examined her short curls. The were large ringlets that reached her shoulders. Her eyes sparkled from the little light that was showing through the window. She had never liked how short she was but she handled it… though she was still sensitive about it.

"This town is getting to old for me." She sighed and sat down at the edge of her bed. Then she decided to go back down the stairs. Instead of going into the kitchen to stuff her face, she walked down a different hall which led to a two large white double doors. She opened them to find a large figure that was covered with a larger sheet. She walked to the figure and pulled off the sheet to reveal a white grand piano. There were papers scattered everywhere but somehow she was able to find one paper in particular. It was the sheet music to 'Clair De Lune'. Willow put the music on the piano's holder and she gracefully placed her small fingers on the keys. Then she gently pushed the first note. She smiled as the sound rang through her ears. Though the sound brought sad memories they also brought happy ones of her sister. Then came the next key, as she pressed it down lightly the sound rang through the room again. The she began to play a little bit faster, and over time she was at the normal pace that she used to play at when she would play with her sister. The music eventually filled the house, and from the upstairs bedrooms Grams and Chris heard the music. Grams just closed her eyes again and fell to sleep to the beautiful music and Chris smiled.

That kid has truly had a great effect on her…" And he went back o sleep.

Willow played with everything in her heart and she was smiling just like she used to when she would play with her sister. She had finally found a way to keep in touch with her Pine. To feel her mother's presence she would watch the fire, that was why the fire would help her sleep, and to feel her father she would have to ply with the dog, that was one thing that he would always do with her. But now she knew how to feel Pine. She felt Pine's presence as if she were directing her hands the whole song, key by key she felt like her sister was with her. The song finally ended and Willow let a single tear fall from her eye. She closed the piano top and put her head on it. Moments later she fell into the first deep sleep she had experienced in years.

That next morning Ed knocked on the door of the shop a few minuets before 10:00 am. Chris cam to the door and let him in with a large smile.

"So… where's Willow?" He asked.

"Oh if you go down the hall and to the left you will find her in that room." Chris still had his smile on as Ed walked to the room. Ed opened the doors and found Willow with her head placed on a large grand piano. Ed placed his hand on her back and she woke up slowly.

"Oh hi Ed, what's up?" She asked a little groggy.

"Nothing much… do you still know how to play the piano?' He saw Willow's eyes brighten and she nodded.

"Can you show me?" She nodded and scooted over so that he could sit next to her. He sat down as she opened to top. She gently placed her fingers on the keys and began to play the same song as she had been the night before. Ed saw the complete joy in her eyes that he had never seen before. She smiled as she played and he could tell this was what she enjoyed the most. When she finished the song she looked to him still just a joyful.

"That was amazing…" Ed complemented her.

"Thanks… it's something me and my sister did together all the time." Ed was worried that her joy would fall away but it didn't she was still happy.

"C'mon let's go get some more hot chocolate!" She yelled grabbing his hand and pulling him out of the room to the counter. She got them each a hot chocolate, Ed's just the way he liked it and she sat down at on of the tall tables.

"So do you like playing piano the most?" Ed asked. Willow slightly blushed due to a thought she had and she shook her head.

"No…"

"Then what is it that you enjoy the most in life?" Ed asked. She spoke quietly se he could barely hear but she said, "I enjoy spending time with you the most." Ed blushed and scratched the back of his head.

"Really?" Willow blushed as well but she nodded. The two of them sat in silence for a minuet or two until Ed said, "So why isn't anyone opening the shop?" Willow smiled, she was happy that he wasn't feeling weird about what she said.

"Oh today is our day off." Ed grinned.

"What's up with that grin?" Willow asked.

"Oh nothing, I was just wondering if you wanted to go do something today."

"Of course… but going out in my pajamas isn't such a good idea. I'll be right back." Willow said as she hopped off her chair and ran up the stairs to her room. Willow changed into her favorite baggy purple khaki pants, she also put on a white spaghetti strap shirt, and then to top off her out fit she slipped on a camouflage bandana over her curls. She put on her black boots and headed back down the stairs. Ed looked over her outfit and nodded his approval with a smirk. In his opinion she looked really cute. He smiled and led her out the door.

"Ladies first." She stuck out her toung at him and laughed. He rolled his eyes and walked out after her. They were only a few steps away from the shop when Willow stopped in mid step.

"Oops I forgot something…" She grabbed his hand and led him back inside.

"Hey Grams where did you keep the kit?!" Willow yelled.

"It should be in the bathroom honey!" Grams yelled from upstairs. Willow nodded to no one in particular and went to the bathroom. Ed followed and watched her open a cabinet to take out a metal box. She took out a syringe and inserted some liquid into it. Then she cleaned her wrist and injected her self with the needle. Ed winced at the sight but didn't look away, I mean he has seen worse. She wiped off the area where she had put the needle in, threw away the needle and put away the box.

Willow then grabbed Ed's arm again and ran out the door yelling out that she would be gone for a while.

"So what cha wanna do?" She asked.

"How 'bout we go to the old restaurant that's at the end of town. Willow nodded and the pair walked to the restaurant.

"Isn't it annoying to have to give yourself that every day?" Willow smiled slightly and turned her head towards him.

"Sometimes, but I get used to it. It's something I have to do; it would be a lot more annoying if I were passing out everyday." Ed nodded and they continued their way to the restaurant. When they reached the small building they had only paused for a moment before walking inside. The floors were a darks washed wood, the walls were all a shade of beige. All of the tables had a flower on them and a small candle. Willow smiled as she took in the room.

They got seats and were near a window.

"Alright so let's play twenty questions, I'll start." Ed only nodded as he was looking into her big brown eyes. "First off, who do you respect the most?" Ed had to think about it. He finally decided on one person that he had always respected the most, even if he was a pain in the ass.

"Colonel Roy Mustang." Willow was surprised that he respected on of his commanding officers but she moved on after a quick nod.

"Alright, who ticks you off the most, as in of who you have met." Oh that was an easy one.

"Colonel Roy Mustang." Ed said the name offhandedly, like it wasn't odd that he respected him and hated him.

"In some twisted way that actually makes sense, Ed." Willow said. "Okay, what, in your opinion, is the most annoying to ever be on this earth?" She asked. Ed mused this question over but then he came up with a quick answer.

"Colonel Roy Mustang." He said with a nod. Willow slapped her forehead.

"I really don't get how he could be all of that."

"Maybe that's because you have never dealt with him before." Willow nodded understanding where Ed came from.

"Umm… So you want to tell me what happened to your arm now?" She saw Ed's eyes darken quite a bit but still urged the question.

"I'll tell you some other time…" Then she decided to let it go. She nodded and they carried on their conversation. After they finished their meal they went on a walk, considering how nice it was even though it was supposed to be cold outside. The whole walk the two of them learned more ab0out each other. Everything that they like and everything that they hated, they knew almost every little secret already. Then Ed decided that they should stop and rest. So the pair sat down on a broken log that was sticking out near the forest, and they looked at the clouds.

"Do you really want to know?" Ed asked randomly.

"Know what?"

"About my arm and leg?"

"Oh… yeah I still do." Ed nodded and looked to the sky again.

"Well back when I was around eight years old my mother had come down with an illness and she eventually died from it. Me and Al missed her to no end and didn't know what we would do with out her. So on the day of her funeral we decided, more like I decided, to bring her back…" Willow's eyes widened. She didn't even know alchemy was capable of such power. "But when we tried… I lost my leg and Al… Al he lost his whole body." This shocked Willow even more. Losing your body but still staying on this earth. "To get his soul back I gave up my right arm. I attached his soul to a suit of armor. From that day we decided that we just wanted things back to normal so we went to join the army. After years of searching for something that was unattainable we ended up separated. I was sent to the other side of the gate and Al stayed here."

"You died?" Willow's voiced squeaked. But Ed shook his head.

"No I was in another world. A world with no alchemy. After a long time and a close call for a war between wars, Al ended up going to the world that I had been in. Then we were just sent right back here for some reason." Ed sighed and looked to Willow after his long explanation. He saw tears in her eyes, and he panicked.

"Did I say something? What's wrong? Oh craps please… don't cry."

"And I thought your explanation was going to be something like a simple train wreck." Willow said as she was letting tears fall out of her eyes. "But you went through so much more than that." He nodded and put a hand on her shoulder.

"This is not something for you to feel bad for though." Willow wiped her tears away and nodded. The sun had begun to set and Ed was about to say that it was getting late but Willow sighed.

"Look at that sunset…" Her eyes glistened from the pink and purple light of the sunset. Ed decided to stay out longer and watch the sun set with Willow. He was happy to be spending time with her. This was something that he also enjoyed the most. After the sun had set Ed was extra careful about getting Willow back to her home safely. When they said their good byes Willow had scrounged up the courage to give him a hug, though it was just friendly. They said their goodbyes and Ed went back to the Rockbell's.
