Sorry this took so long. I've been caught up in school work and writer's block, but I'm finally working past them and finished writing.

DISCLAIMER: I OWN ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY NOTHING!

It may have been pure luck, or maybe it was destined, but a few days after Sora, Donald, Goofy, and the newly joined Alphonse set off from Radiant Garden, the Edward-Program's warning clear in their heads, they visited Twilight Town to find quite a surprise waiting for them.

"Winry!" Alphonse called out when they landed on the world and set off for the market appeared to be. Sora went over to one of the shops and started buying potions and selling things he picked up along the way that didn't seem to be important.

The blonde turned and smiled. "Alphonse!" she called, running over to him. "You've got your body back!"

Alphonse nodded. "It's good to know you escaped Amestris also."

"I made sure everyone in Resembool got out before me," Winry said proudly. "Though I don't know where all of them went."

"Probably scattered throughout the worlds," Sora stated, carrying an armful of potions and elixirs. He dumped them all into Donald's arms, saying, "I'm Sora. Nice to meet you."

"Same here. I'm Winry Rockbell," Winry said. She appeared to brighten as she remembered something and turned to Alphonse. "You won't believe who's here."

"Who?" Alphonse asked, his mind flashing to Mustang and Izumi hiding somewhere around here.

"It's Ed!" Winry exclaimed, but she became sullen a moment later. "Only, he doesn't seem to remember anything."

Alphonse and Sora looked at Winry in shock, before bombarding her with question after question. "Where is he?" "How long has he been here?" "What happened to him?"

Thonk! Sora and Alphonse found wrenches hitting their foreheads and falling to the ground. "I can't answer all at once, but you'd better come and see for yourself."

They left, heading for where it appeared Winry had taken up residence since arriving here. They walked into the house and Winry called out, "Ed! I brought some friends to see you!"

From one of the doors farther down the hallway, a wobbly Edward walked out. Unlike normal, his clothes were sloppy and didn't appear to be washed in days, and he didn't seem very balanced on his feet. None of this disturbed Alphonse as much as the occupied, yet haunted look Edward had in his eyes.

Edward got a few steps towards them before collapsing. Winry ran over and started checking his vitals. She sighed in relief, saying, "He's just trying to push himself to hard. His body can't handle everything just yet."

"What happened to him?" Alphonse asked, remembering how he saw one of the Heartless land on his back and rip out his heart all those months ago. It seemed like a far off memory from years earlier, even though it was that same scene that often woke him up from nightmares in the middle of the night.

Winry said, "I don't know. About a week ago a heartless just showed up and made sure I followed it to the Sandlot. After I saw it there it got me to hug it and the next thing I knew, it was Edward standing there, not the Heartless."

"So his Nobody must have his memories," Sora muttered.

Alphonse remembered that the Edward-Program mentioned something about a Nobody Edward. "Where would we find him?"

"We can't," Sora answered. "We've just got to wait for the Nobody to find us."

"But that could take forever," Alphonse said.

Sora nodded. "It could take a while, that's for sure, but right now it's just about the only thing we can do."

"So it looks like we're staying in Twilight Town a while," Alphonse finished. Donald, Sora, and Goofy agreed with the statement.

Winry smiled. "I've got some extra rooms you guys can sleep in," she told them. She turned and went up a set of stairs, saying along the way, "Could you get Ed onto the couch in the living room? It's not going to be good for him to lie there for to long."

"Right," Alphonse answered. Sora helped him and they eventually got Edward onto one of the couches, while they all took various chairs, wondering what they could do – or should do – to help Edward.

There was a scream from upstairs and it broke the group out of the reverie.

"Winry!" Alphonse called, running for the stairs.

"Alphonse!" Winry cried back. Alphonse got up the stairs and entered one of the rooms, Sora hot on his tail. What they found when they reached the room was nothing.

"But this was the room Winry was in," Alphonse muttered.

Sora looked around, pulling a torn piece of clothing. Alphonse took one glance at it and knew someone kidnapped Winry. "But who…?"

"I don't know," Sora muttered, shaking his head. "I just don't know."

This chapter was originally supposed to end with them meeting Daxrewd, but I figured it'd be more suspenseful and worthwhile if someone kidnapped Winry…

R&R Please! Who knows, I may update more often with reviews.
