Flashback to last chapter
"Gabe, I forbid you to ever see him again. He's not your father, a real father would never turn their back against there own family." Riza said in a monotone voice.
Those words kept running through her head, "No! He is my daddy. Mommy's just saying that because she's mad! Right?"
Gabe runs down the stairs and towards the downstairs window and opens it up.
"Daddy! Come back!" She screams out the window.
Riza on the other hand just walks up the stairs towards her room. When the door to Riza's room shut, Gabe opened up the door and run down the street.
"Daddy!" She screams.
No reply. Gabe begins to chase after the car, but it speeds up.
"Daddy..." Gabe looks around her surroundings and nothing seems familiar.
"Uh oh...I think I'm lost. Think! Gabe said to herself, what mommy tell me if I ever got lost..."
Gabe imagined her mother pointing at her, "Don't ever tell anybody you're lost!" "Hm... I already did that."
She imagines her mother again, "Go to the nearest phone, and call mommy, Uncle Hughes, or Uncle Edward."
She couldn't call her mother cause then she'll find out that she sneaked out. She couldn't call her daddy because then he would get in even more trouble, and she couldn't call Uncle Hughes because he'll start to worry about her mommy and daddy. She could call her Uncle Edward, her mommy and daddy told her stories about him...
Flashback
"He was always some sort of a midget I suppose, but I think that was because he wouldn't drink his milk." Gabe remembered what her daddy told her about him. "He was nicknamed the Fullmetal Alchemist; he always got into trouble that shrimp. He also had a younger brother, he was always in a suit of armor and he loved cats, but Ed would never let him keep one." Roy chuckled at the thought of the mock battle he had with Edward years ago. "I actually fought him once, but it ended as a tie." Gabe loved the stories that her daddy told her, it made her feel like they were a family, her mommy and daddy together, and her. One big happy family, but not anymore. Well not right now.
"Gabe," Roy Mustang whispered in her daughter's ear.
"I'll tell you a secret about Edward Elric."
Gabe listened carefully.
"If you ever call him a midget, a shrimp, or anything that relates to the word small, he will do something funny." Roy smiled, it was years since he ever saw Fullmetal, but he was always the same. Call him small, a midget, shrimpy, and he would blow up at you, almost literally.
Gabe smiled at that memory, she never met the man, but one day she would try that secret her daddy told her about the famous Fullmetal Alchemist.
