Final chapter. *tears* So, here's a question for you, my darling readers. Should I continue with this or have their married life be a sequel?
So, with more tears and without further ado, the end.
Roy and Maes were standing in the main room of the chapel. "Uh, Roy?" said Maes.
"Yes?" Roy replied.
"Please don't get angry when I say this but…"
"But what, Maes, what could possibly be wrong?"
"There's a dragon… on your head."
"The hell?" Roy's eyes flickered upwards. He couldn't see anything so he cautiously reached up. The top of his head felt scaly. He removed the scaly thing and came face to face with a dragon. "Maes," he said. "It's a dragon."
"Yeah, I know. I was the one who told you it was there."
"It's a real, live dragon."
"Ooh," said the dragon. "You're a human, I'm so impressed…"
Roy put it down on a pew. "It spoke," said Maes.
"Of course I bloody spoke. I'm a dragon; I'm smarter than both of you combined."
Al laughed. "I see you met Arthur. Sister adopted him…"
"I adopted her," Arthur corrected.
"…when she found him at Central Headquarters one day. Apparently, he reminds her of you, General Mustang."
"I can see it," said Maes.
Roy gave Arthur a look. "You better behave, dragon, or you and I will always be at each other's throats."
"No doubt about that, human," replied Arthur.
Meanwhile, the women were looking for the bride. Winry found Ed in her dressing room, in a pair of shorts and a t-shirt. She had a picture of Trisha Elric beside her. "There you are," said Winry.
"I wonder what Mother would say if she was here," said Ed.
"I wondered what mine would say before my wedding, too. Do you know what my best friend told me?"
"I don't know about her but I'm proud of you," they said in unison.
"Let's get you ready," Winry said.
"Winry, I thought about asking Maes this but decided against it, Roy needs him more than I do right now, so will you give me away?"
"Oh, Ed! I'd love to!"
"You found her," said a relieved Gracia when they came over to where she was with Riza, Maria and Elicia.
Riza gave Ed a look. "If you had chickened out," she began, "I would have..."
Maria cleared her throat, giving Elicia a pointed look. "I'm sure Ed knows. Lead us in, oh, fearless leader."
When the four had gone in, Ed turned to Winry. "Winry…"
"Nervous?"
"A little."
"Think of it this way, if you had been a straight male or a lesbian, you'd be marrying me instead."
"… Oh, I think it's time to go in!"
Together, they pushed open the doors and walked into the next chapter of Ed's life.
