Hello my dear readers. I'm very happy to see my ratings; last month I passed 1,000 viewers in the US alone. I almost fell off my chair when I saw that. The other top two countries were Australia and the UK, which I'm not all too shocked about. Anyway, moving onto my plans for the series. Like I said I'm planning on finishing around chapter 34. There's going to be a good amount of drama in them, so look out for that.

And I almost forgot about the one world clue thing. In case you guys don't remember the one from last time, it was White. Ready for this chapter's clue? Question. Vague, isn't it? Once you guys get the rest of them, I'm sure (if you think real hard) you can figure it out.

"Brother, I think I found a way to get your body back!" I'm yelling as I run into the living room, a texbtook in hand. I'd been studying for two days without stopping except for the food Ed had brought me. When I woke up on the couch a few days prior, I had an epiphany. It hit me like a wall and I felt so stupid for not have thinking of it before.

While I wasn't possible to revive a person that had passed through the Gate, nobody ever said anything about a limb. In order to completely make or revive a person, you would need a soul as well as a mind, but since Ed already had his soul, you would just be attatching something to him.

A limb wouldn't be hard to make once I gathered all the elements necessary for making it, but I couldn't do it alone. I would need help from someone skilled in alchemy, as well as the medical field. May was out of the question since she was all the way in Xing, but there was still one person...

"Al! Al!" I'm pulled from my thoughts as I feel a sharp thump to my chest. "What did you figure out?"

"Start packing. I'll tell you on the train."

~*~ Later ~*~

"Are you serious?" Ed sits next to me, staring at the floor. "I never even thought of that..."

"I know. It's why I've been up for so long..." I sigh and lean back against the seat, staring up at the ceiling. "I know Izumi won't help us..."

"Then where are we going?"

"To see Jeremiah." I look over at him, smiling gently. I had dropped in to see Jeremiah before I went home, which he was happy about. "It's been a while since I've seen him..."

"It'll be nice to talk to him again." He settles down and rests his head on my shoulder, closing his eyes. "He really changed my views on stuff."

"Yeah..." A yawn escapes my lips and I shut my eyes, leaning my head against the back of the seat and before I know it, I'm sound asleep.

~*~ Even Later ~*~

"Al, wake up..." I blink a few times, my vision clearing to see large golden eyes peering into mine. "We're here."

I groan and sit up, rubbing my neck to get out the kinks. "How long was I asleep?"

"The whole ride here." He hands me my jacket and I pull it on, cracking my neck and sighing in relief. "Ew... That's gross..."

"Well I'm sorry my bone popping grosses you out." I chuckle and pick up our bags, heading out of the train car and into the station. I glance around as I see only a handful of people in the station. "Do you think something's going on?"

"Probably. Let's go to town and see." I follow him down the road, towards Town Hall, where a large congregation of people has accumulated. I peer around the crowd, my eyes focusing on Jeremiah who is headed towards us.

"Jeremiah, what's going on?"

"Alphonse, since you were last here the rebellion has intensified in violence... Something the police force did sparked a riot."

"Have you tried stopping it?"

"I'm going to try speaking to the people and see if they will listen."

I nod slowly, setting the two suitcases at my feet. "What if something happens?"

"If something happens, my child, then it was meant to be. There is nothing I can do to stop fate." He gives me a warm smile and hugs both of us, turning to walk away. "Remember that, children."

I watch him walk away, people parting to give him a clear path to the steps. As he takes position behind a podium and begins speaking, I feel Ed tug on my shirt. I look down at him and he points to a small car, forcing its way through the traffic. "It looks like a military car..."

I nod, my eyes flickering between it and Jeremiah as two people step from the car; Hawkeye and... Mustang? "Jeremiah! The King has warned you about interfering in the matters of the police!"

"Colonel, I am merely trying to reason with the protesters!"

"Jeremiah, I'm sorry, but we've given you chances to stop this foolish rebellion!"

"I'm sorry, Colonel, but you can't stifle the peoples voice." Jeremiah sends the Colonel an icy glare, his usual smile transforming into a frown. "The King is trying to do just that and he is going to fail!"

"That's not the way we see it, Jeremiah." I focus on Mustang, my eyes widening as he raises a gun, his eyes narrowing as he begins to aim. The next few moments seem to slow down even they it's just a matter of seconds. A gunshot echoes throughout the air and I look back to Jeremiah, calling out as I see his knees buckle, red liquid spreading across his shirt as he falls to the ground.

His son rushes to him and Mustang signals something, two lines of police officers filing onto the scene, ushering protesters away from Town Hall. I pick up the suitcases and take Ed's hand, leading him down the road.

"Al-"

"Just... Hush until we get to where we're going."

"But Al-"

"Edward." I glance over at him, my gaze sad. "Trust me."
