Return of Hope

Hey there... Heh... I'm not dead. Hooray!
I was gone for so long. Sorry. However, I am back now and I hope I can finish this fanfiction. I really would like to go more about the canon pairing of EdWin now... But that's for Brotherhood/FMA Manga so it dosen't count against this story x3 Anyway, here's the next chapter. Writen as best as possible in my state of mind.
Also... I do not remember the last chapter so I'm guessing!

-Old Faces-


Breakfast that morning was silent. Noa had eaten with them, but Ed still seemed to be sending his hatred toward the woman through the looks he gave her. That's probably another literal look at the expression 'If looks could kill'... If they could Noa would be six feet under. Noa had left to the market and Al for work and Edward had left an hour later. The morning was thus, uneventful.

Winry was left alone then. She did not tell anyone she had regained her memories. She had not spoken much that morning. She was mostly (caught by Al) staring at Edward. Noticing how he had grown over the years. She had decided to try and see what damage had been done to her when she had roughly landed in this world. She looked in the mirror and saw a pale scar on the border of her hairline. She touched it lightly and frowned.

She slowly walked towards the couch and sat down. She could remember what happened inside the Gate more clearly now. It was horrible. Having to use a living being to get through. He had been dying though... She just couldn't stop thinking about how much the man had looked like Maes Hughes. Then she also thought about how Noa looked like Rose.

She began to wonder how many other people here looked like people from Amestris. She made a note to herself to ask Ed and Al when they got back.


Later that evening Ed had arrived home first. Noa had been back that afternoon. She had only gone shopping and then returned home. She only spoke German whenever Winrytried to speak with her. It had become infuriating and Winry had given up on the woman. When Ed had arrived home she had remained where she was and waited for him to come sit down.

He came into the living room and sat down next to her. She smiled at him and said hello. He nodded and asked "Has you're day been too boring?" At that she giggled.
"Not too boring. No... However, I wanted to ask you something Ed..." She said in a serious tone. He immediately wiped the smile off his face and looked directly at her.
" Yeah, Win...?" He said to her quietly.

"Why do people here look like people back home?" She asked. He didn't look surprised at her question and began to answer.
"Well, it's like people from our world have dop-" He stopped mid-sentence. He looked at her abruptly and opened his mouth, but closed it again. No words came out.

Winry smiled. "I remember..."


That's it for now... It's only half of what I usually try to write. It was rushed and it has many errors and I need to get back on schedule.

Hooray! Ed knows that Winry has her memory back. I meant to establish more characters in this chapter, but I thought Ed should be on a higher level with Wirny before I could get into anything and I need to set something up with Noa because right now she's a big block in the road. I don't mean kill her off either. I mean just try to move her somehow.

Any lovely ideas are appreciated.

READ: Also I will be doing a request fic. :'3 It works like this:

I will pick the characters and the show/manga... Then you will give me one random word which I will make my main subject and chapter title. I have the first few chapters and then I will move onto your chapters. When you comment just say 'Random word: ' and give me one. It doesn't have to relate to any couple or manga. It can me something as random as 'Pink Elephants' ...

Yeah... Just go with it. I love to see what I get. The story will be titled 'You Never Know' so go and take a look if you see it posted!
