Chapter 7
Ed woke up and groaned. His head felt like a hammer had pummeled it. Then Ed remembered what the night before. He moaned, and placed the pillow on his head. There was no way he was getting out of bed today. He had only gotten into bed a few hours earlier. He had spent most of the night talking to Cory, who pretty much knew everything about him now.
"Late night?" Ed heard through his pillow.
Ed looked up to see Jazz reading peacefully. It was hard to believe that the guy from yesterday was Jazz. The quiet guy looking at Ed now was Jazz.
"Yeah, I had some studying to do," Ed mumbled.
"You? Mister genius? Have to study? That's a new one," Jazz laughed "Sure you weren't out with Jessi, having special alone time?"
Ed threw a book at Jazz's head.
"NO I WAS STUDYING YOU JERK!" Ed yelled.
Jazz laughed, "Stop with the short temper Ed…."
"WHO THE HELL YOU CALLING SHORT?" Ed screamed.
"He didn't call you short," Linsey said as she entered the room.
"Morning Linsey," Jazz said snickering.
"Good Morning, anyway Jessi has decided we are going to skip class today…." Linsey began.
"Aren't we in enough trouble," Jazz said with a raised eyebrow.
"Jessi just said that we need to meet in HQ," Linsey shrugged.
"Fine," Jazz muttered
Beautiful*Disaster
"Yesterday's turnout was unexceptable!" Jessi commented from behind the desk in HQ.
Linsey, Ed, and Jazz sat on the couch, and listened to their leader ramble on.
"We didn't get our target, AND Otonashi busted the band!" Jessi said irritably.
"I'm sorry Jessi," Jazz muttered "It was my fault."
"No, It was our fault to! Which is why…ED IS ON PROBATION!" Jessi said smirking.
"WHAT!" Ed yelled startled.
"You have to be more distracting Ed!" Jessi commented "From now on you and I will both sing at concerts!"
Ed sweat dropped, she just wanted an excuse to sing again….
"So anyway you're going to have to learn how to play guitar Ed…." Jessi said smirking.
"I can play the basics," Ed said simply only slightly surprised, "My brother and I traveled a lot, and someone taught me back when I was alive."
Jessi nodded "Linsey can teach you what you need to know."
Linsey looked surprised, but agreed.
Beautiful*Disaster
Later, Jessi and Jazz left. Ed was trying to imagine what kind of teacher Linsey would be. The girl was quite and calm. Ed remembered he was startled at first because Linsey looked a lot like Ed's Alchemy teacher Izumi.
"Jessi told me," Linsey said after a few minutes of quiet.
"Told you what?" Ed asked confused.
"That she told you her past," Linsey murmured.
"Oh, yeah," Ed said uncomfortable.
"Would you like to hear mine?" Linsey asked casually.
Ed blinked surprised.
"Sure, if you want to tell me…"
"I do," Linsey smiled "You are a part of our small family now Ed."
Ed blushed at this.
Linsey smiled, "I was born both male and female.
"What?" Ed asked, almost dropping the guitar he was holding.
"I was born both male and female, and some dumb doctor decided I should be male. That didn't work out so well. My parents were ashamed of me. I lived with an aunt of mine for a long time, and then she died. My parents paid for my surgery begrudgingly. Then the pretended I was their long lost daughter that they never knew they had. I knew behind their smiling faces that they really hated me. Things probably would have gone on that way, except that I messed up. I had…a boyfriend over at the house. My Father came home drunk. He found us together. He was so angry. He beat me senseless, then he stabbed be a couple of times. That's how I died. I woke up here, strangely I'm completely female, right down to the genes." Linsey said quickly.
Ed's mouth was wide open "Your own father…he stabbed you?"
Linsey nodded, "I'm glad though, I most likely would have had a terrible life had I lived. In a way I'm grateful to him."
Ed gasped, "How can you be grateful to the person that killed you?"
Linsey shrugged "Everyone deserves forgiveness Ed. Haven't you ever done anything you regretted?"
Ed bit his lip, "Actually yes. Hey Linsey, how would you like to hear a story?"
Linsey tilted her head, "I would love to hear a story, what about?"
"It's about a couple of boys, the taboo they committed, and a journey to make things right again," Ed replied.
Linsey smiled "Sounds like a good story."

Cory was sitting outside among the flowers, when Ed came running out at full speed.
"CORY! GUESS WHAT!" Ed yelled excited.
He ran up to her side, panting and holding a guitar.
Cory raised an eyebrow "What is it?"
Ed grinned "I'll show you."
Ed sat down and began playing the guitar. He sang along to the music.
She'd Take Colorado if he'd take her with him
Closes the door before the winter lets the cold in
Wonders if her love is strong enough to make him stay
She's answered by the tail lights
shining through the window pane
He said I want to see you again, but I'm stuck in
Colder weather
Maybe tomorrow will be better, can I call you then
She said you're a rambling man, you ain't ever gonna
change
You got a gypsy soul to blame and you were born for
leaving
At a truck stop diner just outside of lincoln,
the night as black as the coffee he was drinking,
And in the waitress eyes he sees the same old light a
shining,
And thinks of Colorado and the girl he left behind
there
He said I want to see you again, but I'm stuck in
Colder weather
Maybe tomorrow will be better, can I call you then
She said you're a rambling man, you ain't ever gonna
change
You got a gypsy soul to blame and you were born for
leaving, born for leaving
Well it's a windy road when you are in the lost and
found
You're a lover and I'm a runner
We go round and round and round
And I love you but I leave you
I don't want you but I need you
You know it's you that calls me back in vain
Whoa, I want to see you again, but I'm stuck in Colder
weather
Maybe tomorrow will be better, can I call you then
Cause I'm a rambling man, I ain't ever gonna change (I
ain't ever gonna change)
You got a gypsy soul to blame and I was born for
leaving, born for leaving
When I close my eyes I see you,
no matter where I am.
I can smell your perfume through these whispering
pines.
I'm with your ghost again, it's a shame about the
weather,
I know soon we'll be together, and I can't wait till
then,
I can't wait till then
.
Ed finished smiling. Cory was smiling too.
"I lived in a house painted green with white trim, and my parents were named Sara and Darrin. We had a dog-named Chip. I had two best friends, who I can't remember just yet. Oh, and my favorite flavor of ice-cream was, rocky road." Cory said thoughtfully.
"That's all you remembered?" Ed asked pouting.
"That's all," Cory smiled "But at least it's something right?"
"Yeah," Ed smiled looking toward the sky.
"Is Linsey teaching you to play guitar?" Cory asked.
"Yep," Ed grimaced "I thought someone so gentle would be a kind teacher, but she is really strict!"
Cory laughed, Ed immediately thought that he had never heard a more beautiful sound.
"Cory, you should do me a favor," Ed asked.
"What?" Cory wondered.
"Laugh more," Ed said seriously, he was surprised when the red head blushed.
"Don't say something like that Ed, I might fall for you," Cory whispered so low that Ed didn't even hear.
"Hmmm? Did you say something?" Ed asked blinking.
"No nothing," Cory said smiling.
