Chapter 9: Reminiscing At The Hospital

"Mmm, that was good food Artemis. I swear you should become a cook or something." Ed complimented, as he ate his last slice of pork. Artemis smiled, grabbing Ed and Al's dishes. Al nodded, "Yes sister. That was delicious!" he said happily.

"Well I'm glad you both liked the food." Was all she said, as she placed the dishes in the sink. Ed looked at her concerned with her attitude, "What's the matter Artemis? Something wrong?" he asked, getting up from his seat, walking over to where she was. She looked at him and nodded, "Yes Edward I'm fine. Just feeling tired is all." She said drowsily.

"Oh, well then let me get that. I'll wash the dishes. You go rest, ok?" Ed ordered as he moved Artemis slightly so he could reach the dishes. "Al, can you take Artemis to her room please?" he asked, while washing the dishes. Al nodded and walked towards Artemis.

Artemis just shook her head, "No no. I'm fine. Don't worry about me Al. I'm fine. Trust me." She started walking to her room but as she was about to open the door, she fainted right in front Al. "Artemis!" Al shouted, worried about Artemis as she fell in his arms. Ed dropped the dishes and turned to see what had happened.

Ed saw Artemis, limp in Al's arms. He ran over to Al, "What happened?" he asked, scared about Artemis. "I don't know. She was about to head into her room and she just fainted in my arms." Al explained worriedly, trying to wake Artemis up.

Ed then noticed Artemis' right arm. It was bleeding profoundly and had some green substance-oozing out. "Al, her arm. Her arm is infected. We need to take her to a doctor." He said vastly, while grabbing Artemis and carried her to their car. Al followed as he grabbed their coats and left to the hospital.

"Doctor, will she be ok?" Artemis heard, what sounded like Al, asking someone, sounding worried. Her eyes started fluttering open. "Yes Al, she is fine. You're lucky you boys brought her just in time too. If you both would've waited, she could've been paralyzed from that arm and it could've spread throughout her entire system." Answered a man's voice.

"Alphonse?" Artemis whispered so softly, that only a dog can hear her, but of course, Al heard her. "Artemis? You're finally awake! Oh thank goodness!" He said surprisingly as he reached over and lightly hugged her. She tried to pick her arm up to pat his back but she didn't have the energy to do so.

"Why do I feel so weak Al?" Artemis questioned curiously, attempting to sit herself up, but failing. She fell back on the bed and winced in pain. "Be careful Artemis. The doctors had just gotten rid of the poison in your arm." Al explained to her, holding onto her bandaged arm.

Artemis looked at her right arm and tilted her head, "How in the hell did I get poison in my arm?" she asked, yelling angrily. She then sat up, ignoring all the pain signals that were sending to her brain. She winced when she fully sat up, took a look at her arm and sighed. "It must've been when that stupid witch's bird attacked me. Great." She muttered furiously.

Artemis looked up to see Al who was just starring at her. "How long have I been here?" she asked him, looking around the room she was in. Oh how did she just loathe hospitals. "Well it's only been a day actually, but they won't release you until tomorrow." He answered calmly.

"Really? Just what I needed. It feels like I'm in prison." Artemis just sighed and hung her head gloomily. Al patted her back, reassuring her that everything is going to be all right. She looked up and saw Al smiling at her. She smiled back and looked around the room again.

"Al, where's Ed?" she asked, now worried where he could've ran off to. "Brother is out. He said he needed some air. He should be back by now." Al answered, looking at the door. Artemis did the same.

A few seconds had passed and Ed entered through the door. Ed had a single blue rose in his hand that made Artemis blush lightly. He looked up and saw Artemis, wide-awake and sitting up. "Artemis, you finally woke up!" he stated, surprisingly.

Artemis forced herself to stop blushing and she just nodded, smiling lightly. "Yes. I'm awake. Feeling better than ever." She lied. She could still feel the medicine flowing through her veins, as pain shot through her body making her tremble.

Ed smiled, walking over to Artemis and handed her the rose. "I know how much you love blue roses. Well, rose. Since that's all I got you." He chuckled and sat on a chair next to Al. Artemis smiled at the rose, "Thank you Ed. I love it." She looked at him and nodded.

"It's your get well gift." Ed smiled, as he crossed his legs and folded his arms. Artemis looked at both him and Al. She laughed lightly to herself, "Remember last time we were here? It was after the 5th laboratory. Al, you were so mad at Ed over something that wasn't true."

Ed and Al looked at each other and laughed as well. "That's right. I thought brother made me up and put fake memories in me. I can't believe I actually believed what that Barry the chopper guy told me." Al said, laughing at the memory.

"Man. That was so long ago. It felt like it was just yesterday." Ed said, reminiscing. Artemis nodded, "I know right? Seriously, it feels like we had just taken the exam to become State Alchemist. Now look at us. Al has his body back, and we're still alive." She pointed out, while playing with the rose and smiling.

"Yup! Even though you're in the hospital, everything is still great." Said Al, happily, looking at Ed and Artemis. They both smiled at him. "Exactly Al. Oh remember when Ed fought Mustang? Man was that intense!" Artemis laughed.

"Don't remind me! That fight was awesome but the aftermath… ugh, wasn't" Ed laughed and smiled. "Fullmetal against the Flame. That did have a nice ring to it?" he asked, leaning forward, sounding a bit cocky.

Artemis rolled her eyes and nodded, "Oh yes Ed. It was a wonderful ring to it." She joked sarcastically. Al laughed, "Remember when we were about to deliver Elysia? That was nerve wrecking. That image is still vivid in my mind. How we all were just screaming, not knowing what to do."

Artemis nodded, "Oh yes I remember. We were just screaming like little girls. Running all over the place." She kept laughing lightly to herself. Ed agreed, "It was a good thing the doctor came in time. We all would have not known what to do." He said, leaning back, looking at the ceiling.

"Now look at Elysia, she's seven years old now. And born on your birthday Ed!" Artemis pointed out and smiled. Ed looked at her and smiled back. "Now that's what makes it special to me." He said, as his eyes softened and he smiled a gentle smile. She looked at him and nodded, "Of course it does. Everyone's birthday is special." She then closed her eyes and laid back down slowly on the bed, still wincing in pain but trying not to show it.

"Hey Ed, do you remember Psiren?" Artemis taunted Ed, pocking on his leg, since that was the only thing she could've reached. Ed started to blush furiously and looked away quickly. Her and Al couldn't help but laugh so loud that some doctor's entered the room to tell them to lower their voices.

"I remember Psiren. She was really pretty and brother thought so too. Huh Ed?" Al asked, elbowing Ed's rib. Artemis kept looking at Ed's reaction. She couldn't help but laugh at him. "You know she was pretty Ed. Don't deny it." She teased him some more, but coughed. She couldn't laugh as much as before because of the medicine.

Ed and Al turned to see if Artemis was ok. "Guys, I'm fine. Don't worry. It's just the medicine kicking in again." She saw them nodding at relaxed.

Artemis closed her eyes once more and smiled, "I like reminiscing about our past. It's fun just talking about it." She told them softly, trying to catch her breath, "Man, here me. It sounds like I'm dying." She laughs at what she says and starts drifting off to sleep.

Ed looked at Artemis and noticed her closing her eyes. He turned to Al, "Let's go. She's starting to fall asleep." Al nodded and rose from his seat. Ed did the same as they both headed to the door. Ed turned around as he was heading out the door and took one last look at Artemis, "Please get better." He then headed out the door.
