Hello everyone! I'm sorry that I haven't updated anything in awhile! I'll keep this short like Ed so I can get this chapter up. (Ed:*glare*)
So, onto the reviews!
CrazyMellow102: That would be interesting, especially since I sort of made Hughes disappear into thin air, but I think I have an idea to what I could do. I haven't watched episode 41 but I will thanks to your recommendation. Yes, Ed should have brought some aspirin or something. XD
LNicicol1990: I see you adjusted your name. XD Glad you liked the chapter but I noticed something that made be facepalm and laugh at the same time since none of you caught it either. Apparently I tend to sneak Al in chapters subconsciously and I don't notice until I read over the chapter and I go: "Dang it Al! You keep sneaking yourself in like you do with kittens!" I just edited the chapter so Al went poof again. Apparently my subconscious wants to keep the Elric Brothers together. XD I had fun coming up with Guilt's abilities and it shall be an interesting ending battle. Plus it's irony as well: Ed is battling his Guilt. Yay for word play! Yes, it's finally coming to an end, but I'll going to start mixing things up but it shall hopefully slide you all into the sequel easily. But in doing so, it'll made Ed look badass. XD
Kathy Ann: Yes, I'll recruit some of my friends who aren't in the skit to videotape. At school, we have TV Technology classes where we have access to cameras, tripods, computers, sound systems, and advanced editing systems and if you ever took that class, you're allowed to borrow the cameras whenever you need them. So, we'll use that so I can put it on youtube and I'll share the link on here. I can't wait to meet Vic and I made some presents for him!
TheMarshmaloWizardGhostCookie: I tend to do that to people! XD It made me grin when I saw your review. I'm glad that you liked the chapter!
Heartless-are-squirrels: I'm glad you like Guilt! I thought that no one had done a new type of homunculi Ed other than Pride and Guilt fits him.
The Silent Orion: I can see what you mean by beginning chapters. This is basically the beginning of the end so it fits. Everyone needs a good beginning chapter to get a big event or story started. (I'm entering 'beginning chapter' into my fan fiction lingo now. Thanks! =D )
iFlygon: Conventions are certainly fun. Perhaps it is too obvious for an Easter egg . Oh well! XD You'll find out what was written on the watch soon. I'll be nice and let you all know what he wrote. XD I am working on building my team right now so as soon as I'm done I'll battle you. ;) I know, I don't even go on the forums anymore. I'm more on here! XD Nsider sort of went down the toilet.
The Russian Roulette: Congrats on your snag. =) I'm trying to catch my crush's eye right now but he's as oblivious as Ed to relationships. It's fine with the wicked thing, I tend to say 'dude' all of the time. XD I have no idea where it came from, but it sorta grew on me. XD I have to sing at church whenever we have class now so I'll take your good luck and store it for the future. =)
Insanity Is Iminent: I don't know what his response was for this fic, and I was going to show it to Travis but I got caught up in my first convention. XD Fletcher is adorable, I just had to add him in! Poor Russell, but someone needed to sacrifice to make the story even better. Random Scar blowing up people? Random Envy? Sounds like a fun outtake! =D I'll have to have the misadventures of Envy now!
So, I know I haven't been updating for about a week but I'm going to try and get this stuff updated faster. Oh yes, I have extremely important news to tell you all! I…………am…………. Going to start learning how to play the banjo! =D
Falling into Myself
Chapter 35
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Mustang's POV XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
It took a relatively long time to reach Central, but I had become accustomed to the cars and airplanes in America and this was extremely low tech compared to 2009, but I think I'd prefer it this way. It was where I was born and I still had a family here. They were waiting for me back home but I knew I would have friends in the other world such as Travis, Vic, Caitlin, and my army of teenage girls. Thank the gate I'm married or I'd probably be kidnapped by my army, or they would probably do that anyway.
The train ride remained uneventful but every once in awhile, Edward would squirm in his sleep and wince in pain. He probably was just feeling the pain from laying like that in the seat. How could he lay like that anyway? He looked like a human pretzel; I mean, how can someone bend a human arm that way?
However, we reached Central fine and Edward woke up grumpier than usual and complaining how his back hurt and how his head was aching but when Travis offered Ed an aspirin but he had refused so we tuned out his whining.
We traveled through the city without hassle and Ed had pulled up the hoot on his jacket, which he thankfully didn't wear his bright red one, so people wouldn't recognize him. At least over the years, he has learned to blend in a little more. However, the teen began to walk slower and slower the farther we went into the city. What's wrong with the kid?
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Ed's POV XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
I felt like fire was constantly singing my back and I was likely to overheat, but I couldn't take off my hood or risk exposing myself but I couldn't help but have that urge. I started to lose my breath after walking halfway through Central from the train station and my eyesight began to blur. What's wrong with me?!
"Ed?" I looked up to see Winry looking back at me worriedly with her twin. She never told me she had a sister! She's more pretty than her sister though. I wonder what her sister's name is….
"Edward, what's wrong?" Why did Mustang have a twin too? Did everyone go into a cloning machine? Why don't I have a twin?! It isn't fair! Now they're all going to gang up on me with a cow! I will not lose to you evil cow minions!
"Ed?!" Have at you fiend!!! NO! They got me! Everything is going black……….. Why is everything so warm?
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Mustang's POV XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Edward passed out and he broke out into a cold sweat and muttering something about evil cows ruling the world or something. I think he was hallucinating. Thing is, we can't take him to a hospital or his identity will get out but now we have a sick Edward on our hands.
Travis and I took turns carrying him, since he's so damn heavy, as we made out way closer towards a hotel I knew well enough to keep our arrival secret. We just had 2 blocks left….
"Excuse me, is he okay?" Damn. I turned around with Edward on my shoulders to see two lieutenants looking at us and I was at a loss of words.
"Well……..ummm……"
"We're just going to our hotel! He fell asleep so we were carrying him back!" Travis exclaimed and I smirked inwardly. He was good and it seemed they believed us, but things are never that simple.
"DIE EVIL BEEF OF DOOM AND DESTRUCTION!" It seems Edward has woken up.
-1 hour-
Damn him. He just had to wake up at that moment and get us arrested for who knows what but they had taken Edward with them. We are so screwed. Riza will kill me when I get home and I have to tell her that I was arrested.
"Mr. Mustang, do you think that Ed will be alright?" I looked up to see Winry staring at me and it looked like she was going to burst into tears. Travis had been separated from us for the time being for questioning.
"I'm sure he'll be fine. Even if we've been found out, we can get him medical treatment now."
"I don't want him to die again." She whispered and I let a sad smile creep into my features.
"You really care about him, don't you Winry." Her head shot straight up as her cheeks reddened.
"Well, he's an idiot and I've had to look after him for years! Of course I care about him!" She replied angrily and I held back a chuckle.
"You know what I mean Ms. Rockbell." She stared at me before letting out a big sigh and letting her head drop.
"Yes. But, I can't do anything now! He's in trouble but I can't help him!"
"Just be there for him. Give him as much support as you can and comfort him if he every comes to you. He needs you Ms. Rockbell. You'll find that out someday." She looked at me again with weary eyes.
"I hope so Mr. Mustang, I really hope so."
More Edwin from both sides! Now here's where the plot will begin it's steep climb into the climax! =D We're getting towards the end people! *sob* We shall carry on! Please review! I'll give you all cookies if you do!
