Disclaimer: I own not FMA for if I did, this would have been a second movie and not a fanfic.
Edward sat tired on top of the roof of his apartment, his hands held his head. His poor baby brother was heart broken, and he felt as though it was his fault. He could have told Al, but no he had to watch as his brother virtually cried to the heavens and cursed his life. Elizabeth loved Al too, it wasn't her fault, how would she know? Edward let escape a couple tears. He still hoped Winry would arrive soon. His selfishness could not be contained, he loved her that much.
Suddenly Edward noticed a bright purple light in the distance. He knew what that meant... Elizabeth was dead, and Winry would be arriving soon. He rested his head on his knees. Elizabeth was so young, as was he... only he lived. Someone else died for him, he hoped she would be the last. There was a large thud behind Ed, he whipped his head behind him. He noticed someone was on the roof with him. Ed sat up as the person began to pick themselves off of the ground. They picked their head up and gazed at Ed with blue glazed eyes.
"E-Edward?" asked the blonde.
Ed's knees collapsed beneath him as he fell into the arms of the person. "Winry," he whispered. "Welcome to your new home!"
"I will Ed, I will! I'll marry you!" she sobbed into his chest.
Edward's tears commenced. "I loved you the day my mother first introduced me to you!"
"Really?" she sniffed. "Even though my first words to you were 'you're short'?"
Edward cringed but laughed slightly. "Yes, I knew you were the woman I'd be with forever."
"When you left for the last time, I promised that I'd find you... So I could be with you forever."
Edward lifted Winry's head gently and kissed her trembling lips, she kissed back passionately. His tongue grazed her bottom lip and she allowed his entrance. Winry bit his bottom lip as her hands found their way to his hair and she played with his elastic. Ed then trailed his kisses down her neck and she moaned in delight as she nibbled his earlobe and blew cooly into his ear. Shivers went down Ed's spine, until he realized they were on a rooftop.
He pushed her away gently. "Winry, where's Haiden?"
Winry flushed, as did Ed upon discovering her. "I don't know, he stepped into the gate with me, but then we both were tugged different ways. Mustang said Elizabeth wanted us to go on without her, and she'd be there later... I don't know where they both–"
Edward looked away. Elizabeth didn't tell them. If she did she knew Winry and Haiden wouldn't go on without her. Ed looked up at Winry's fearful face that asked what was wrong. "Winry, Elizabeth isn't coming. She didn't tell you, but she sacrificed herself for the gate. S-she's dead Win," Winry gasped and her eyes began to water. She stood up and stared at Germany.
"No! She can't be dead! S-she and Alphonse, she loved him... No it's a dream!" she screamed as she tore at her hair. Ed came near her and wrapped his arms around Winry and cried into her bleach blonde hair. Together they mourned the loss of Miss Elizabeth Kenny, their flesh and blood guardian angel.
Noa was asleep in her room. She lid peacefully in her lovely white nightgown. Her hair flipped from the faint blowing of the wind coming from her open window. She smiled for in her dreams she thought of Alfonse Heidrich. How she loved him, for he had graciously let him into his home and allowed her to be herself despite her being his complete opposite.
Someone watched her as she slept. "Edward has his Winry now... I know who I am, and I have a second chance" the young adult stared at his triceps. The ouraboris was gone, he was officially not a humunculus anymore. "Noa? Noa please wake up!"
Noa tossed in her sleep as she slowly opened her eyes. Looking down at her was an unfamiliar man. She screamed and steadied herself on her head board. "GET OUT!! Who are you!!! GO AWAY!"
The man gazed into a nearby mirror. He looked like Haiden. "I know I don't look like me, but it is me Alfonse! I came from Ed's world. I lost my memory, but I got it back Noa. It's me, believe me please!"
Noa stared at the strange man in her bedroom. He had brown hair, and purple eyes. When she took a glimpse into his eyes she felt a familiarness. She slipped slowly off her bed and approached him with a gentle touch. Her mind suddenly ventured into his past as she saw everything happen so fast...
Noa held Alfonse as his newly shot corps bled over her chest and lap. She started crying as Alfonse had a distant look in his eyes. He managed to speak barely above a whisper... "Noa, Ed, I'll..." with that, Alfonse had closed his eyes and breathed his last breath.
Alfonse felt odd as he traveled through a yellow lit path into the darkness, he blanked out as he awoke to finish his sentence, unaware of why he had said it in the first place. "I'll miss you all..."
A strange girl, bloodied and wounded, dragged herself near him. "Gregory? Is that you?" she asked through the pain.
Alfonse coughed his normal blood filled saliva, only for a different reason, he looked down to find he was half finished. He could see his heart pump, and his lungs breathe. The girl had noticed as she screamed a blood chilling scream. During her entire panic attack, all Alfonse could wonder was who he was and where he was.
Noa stepped back and gasped. "Alfonse? I-it's really you!" Noa jumped on Alfonse with a
long passionate kiss. Alfonse kissed back. He knew that Noa didn't love Edward, but him... Noa read Alfonse's thoughts and knew he loved her back.
Al sat alone near the local stone bridge. He stared at the sunrise, and wished Elizabeth was with him. He had seen the purple fill the air, he knew she was dead. He wished otherwise, but she did what she felt was right. Al's tears stained his cheeks, it wasn't fair. It wasn't fair that everyone else had someone to love, but him! He felt he deserved to love. For once in his life he was bitterly angry. After Elizabeth left he replaced the ring on her finger... the one she had removed and told him to find another girl. He despised her preposition.
His thoughts were interrupted by a large splash in the water. He looked up once to find a bobbing body in the river. He stood abruptly and realized the body wasn't moving. It appeared to him, that someone had threw the body over the bridge. He stripped his coat and dove into the rushing waters, the body was floating near the currant and he needed to stop them. Al neared the body to discover it was a naked girl. He imagined that she was a prostitute that was murdered by her client. However as picked her up in his arms, he realized that she was untouched by anything that could cause her to scar or bruise. He blushed, he was holding a naked prostitute.
As Al swam towards the shore, he wrapped the woman in his coat and gazed lightly at her creamy white skin. Al placed her carefully on the grassy plain. He then lid his ear on her chest and heard her steady heartbeat, she was alive. She seemed to be knocked out cold, maybe it was her offender's plan to knock her out and drown her in the river. His face was completely flushed as he carried the woman to the apartment.
When Al came into the apartment, he heard voices. Two were of Ed and Noa, the others were of Winry and a boy he guessed was Haiden. He flinched with the prostitute in his arms... He wished Elizabeth was there, instead of a naked person who made poor decisions. He sighed sadly and walked up the stairs and into his room.
He placed her in his bed and removed his jacket from her silk skin, then covered her well. Al rummaged through his drawer and took some pants and a loose buttoned shirt. He stepped out of his room and into the bathroom, where he took off his clothes and dried himself. He grabbed his clothes and changed as he heard clanked footsteps. His heart jumped as he ran into the living room where the suit of armor was supposed to be... when it wasn't there he ran into his room. Elizabeth stood there staring at the prostitute, he feared her judgement.
"Alphonse, there's a naked girl in your bed..."
"Lizzie, why are you here, aren't you supposed to be dead?" Al gambled, surprised and happy.
"I forgot to scrape off the rune on the armor... If I don't I'll live like this forever, like this suit of armor," she sighed.
"Then you can be like that!" Al urged. "I lived four years of my life that way!"
"No, that girl's really pretty Al..." she took off the ring that Al had put back on her finger. "Marry her Al."
"What?! No Elizabeth–" she flipped up her helmet and grabbed the seal with her finger and thumb, she suddenly snapped off the seal. Her armored body fell to the ground as the ring landed on Al's bed. Al dove towards Elizabeth, and grabbed her broken seal bits. He held them close as he trembled in shock... He had one last chance with her, and she discovered the naked girl in his bed... He felt horrible, he wanted to kill himself. Al screamed as his tears rolled down his cheeks and onto the cold armor.
"Al?" asked a voice groggily.
Al turned to see the naked woman sit up in Al's bed and grabbed the ring. The woman put it on her ring finger and stared at it wishfully. "What are you doing?" asked Al, almost angered.
"I said I loved you Al, and I told you to marry me," replied the girl, trying to fix the large ring.
"Elizabeth?" asked Al awkwardly.
"In the flesh!" she smiled.
"B-but the gate, your automail?"
"They gave me 'rebirth', and took my automail and gave me my legs back. The truth told me that I was the 'second chance salvationist' and brought me here, to you. Unfortunately they didn't give me my clothes," said Elizabeth as she blushed.
"You're so beautiful Elizabeth..." said Al as he kissed her babbling lips. She shut right up and held the sheets over her breasts. Elizabeth deepened the kiss and felt an unbearable warmth in her loins. Al came onto her quicker as she started to unbutton his shirt. He felt her creamy skin, and his hands slipped over her chest...
"AHEM!" said Ed.
Al and Elizabeth screamed and Al jumped off of her. Elizabeth covered her chest once more as Noa and Alfonse entered the room. Alfonse covered his eyes and blushed madly as Winry pushed everyone away.
"ALPHONSE!? ELIZABETH?!"
Noa and Ed snapped their head to Winry as they became more confused. "That's Elizabeth? What? How? What are you two doing!?"
"Why don't you have any clothes on Lizzie!?" yelled Alfonse through his still covered eyes. "Are you planning on sleeping with him? I KNEW THERE WAS SOMETHING GOING ON SIS!!!"
"Haiden I'm not you're sister!"
"And I'm not Haiden! I am Alfonse Heidrich, and you didn't kill me, you saved my life..."
Elizabeth's eyes spackled as if a giant burden had been lifted from her. That's right, her brother was dead, and she finally brought Alfonse Heidrich back to his home world. She laughed slightly as if it were all a wonderful dream, that she never had to awake from. Winry interrupted her thoughts. "Elizabeth Kenny! Alphonse Elric! You are an unmarried couple, you can't do mature things like this!" Winry took Al's big red floppy coat, that once belonged to Ed, and wrapped it around Elizabeth. Elizabeth blushed as did Al, while Winry led the girl through the door.
Al stood up. "Will you Lizzie?"
"Will I what," she turned around.
"Marry me?" he asked quietly.
Elizabeth smiled. "Of course."
Winry smacked Elizabeth's head and led her into Noa's room. Alfonse stared at Al while Noa left with Winry. Ed watched the two converse. "You look almost exactly like me, when I was in my first body."
"Yeah, I heard a lot about you Alfonse... I guess you're not really Elizabeth's brother," said Al, flushed, as he rested his hand behind his head.
He laughed. "Nope, but I still think of her like a sister... I spent two years with her, thinking I was her brother because I didn't know who else I could be," he closed his eyes and smiled over-the-top. "If you hurt Lizzie, despite the fact that you're Ed's brother, I'll hurt you!"
Al inched away from Alfonse. "Heh, heh, yeah you don't have to worry about that Heidrich."
"Good," Ed left the room after the two Al's reasoning. He went into Noa's room where Elizabeth was clothed in some of Noa's attire. The clothing was a little big on her, considering her age, but she seemed very pretty to Ed. He notice Winry searching through her bag of clothes, hoping to find some things Elizabeth could wear. Elizabeth was like a little him, and he saw Winry noticed that. The way she took care of the young girl made Ed feel as though Winry would become a great mother some day. Plus he would not be like his father, he would stay with his children... and love them as he loved Winry.
Ed's little voice in his head made him feel seductive. He soon approached Winry with a sinister glimmer in his eye. "Hey," he whispered. "Does being sexually active apply for all unmarried couples?"
Winry stood straight and turned, with a wrench to Ed's head. "YES EDWARD!!!"
That day marked the beginning of the lives of those six young adults. Sooner or later the six would encounter things that alchemy could never repair... they'd realize how hard it would be to create income, and raise a family. To think that none of this would have ever happened if they had not tried the forbidden art of human transmutation.
(A/N) There, it's over... But I believe there will be a sequel, because that's what everyone seems to want. If so, then it will be called "The Ones You Love" I love you all for reading and reviewing. I have some acknowledgments
cough, clears throat
BakaKonekoRKL for being my favorite author on fanfiction and inspiration
Kanna1016 for being the first person to add me to their 'favorite authors' list, and for being very trusting and asking me for help, I'm very flattered.
My best friend Cara for being there for me when I'm up, down, and diagonal, and being just like Riza so it makes the stories easier to write.
All my reviewers For the good reviews, you keep me writing!
Everyone who has added me to their 'favorites' or 'alert' list It makes me happy to see I have viewers.
Thank you all:)
PS. I apologize if anyone was offended by the "unmarried" couples thing, it's truly not the way, I believe, everyone should bide. Sex is an act of love, not of law.
PSS. My parents and I lived in Europe, Germany to be precise, and the reason why Al thought Elizabeth was a prostitute so easily is because it's legal in Europe to be a prostitute. Therefor they are common. We live in Canada now.
