Hey what's up beautiful people! I get so much love from you guys and that makes you all amazing! So anyways, thanks for all the votes and stuff. Oh, and just in case you need some love or you haven't been told already:

You're beautiful.

You are so freaking awesome!

You are the single most important person in the universe.

You are smart.

You are special.

Don't listen to what others say, unless they are complimenting you, then listen.

I care about you. A LOT.

I will rip apart the world to see you smile.

I love you.

It's been three days. Ed and Al are sitting out back, Ed complaining about waiting on his automail. I sit on the window sill up in the guest room, listening to music. Right now I'm listening to "Monster" by Paramore. "And eating us alive!" I sing, my head tilted back, eyes closed and grinning. "Don't you ever wonder, how we survive!" (If you haven't guessed, I love music) "Well now that you're gone, the world" I pause the song and clamber out onto the roof, my feet hanging off the roof.

My stomach flips in excitement. I grin and play the song again, headphones hanging around my neck and volume all the way up. I throw my head back and laugh, continuing singing at the top of my lungs. "I'll stop the whole world! I'll stop the whole world from turning into a monster, and eating us alive! Don't you ever wonder how we survive? Now that you're gone, the world is ours!" I sigh and let the music continue on to the next song. I swing my legs and look around. I can see for miles. 'It's so peaceful here... I'd stay here if I could. I would definitely love to live here, even for just a little while...' I smile, feeling...what's this feeling called? At peace, yeah, that's what I'm thinking of. I'm feeling at peace for the first time in awhile. No nutty albino British people trying to stab me, no tall asshole trying to make me feel like a 5-year-old, no card games, no world-threatening disaster about to happen and no worrying about whether my sister is going to accidentally strangle her crush. Oh yes, this is such a great feeling.

"Yagh!"

I sigh and shake my head. There goes THAT moment. "Ah well!" I grin and climb back in through the window. "Heh heh... In-Tru-Da-Window... heh..." 'God references in everything! Why can't people in this world understand how clever I sound right now?!" I sigh and shrug before heading downstairs. 'I must make the strangest faces when I'm thinking.' I chuckle, the grin returning to my face. I walk into the front room just as Ed is fixing Al. I may have seen it a crap ton of times on TV, but alchemy is seriously the coolest freaking thing! It has awesome flashy-ness. Ed claps and Al starts to get pieced back together. I lean against the wall, arms crossed and watch with mild awe. When Al's all fixed the boys both run outside to spar. I follow the rest of the group to watch. Winry and Pinako watch from deck chairs. Armstrong stands nearby, leaning on the wall. I hop up to sit atop the railing and watch.

After the spar, Ed crashes on the couch. I head up to the room to create some luggage. I need something to lug around. Can't make it seem like I'm being lazy. Well, I am lazy, but that's not the point. I snap and a backpack appears. Another snap and a more clothes than a Sears's clothing section appear, floating in front of me like they're on an invisible clothing rack. I flick from side to side, picking various t-shirts, tank tops, shorts, jeans, flip flops, sneakers and hats. I'm SUPER picky about my hats and shoes. Once I've got my stuff all packed into a backpack. The thing is bigger than the one I use for school and it's BULDGING! I didn't think I packed this much. There's enough clothes for a week, maybe a bit more. Whatever. I set it down by my bed.

I head back downstairs to see what the others are up to. I just happen to walk in on a rather feelsy moment.

Winry sighs and looks down on Ed's sleeping form. He's got one hand on his stomach and I smile at how adorable he looks. "To think someone as young and as small as he is could be used as human weapon." I try not to laugh at how Ed would react to that. "It's almost funny... especially watching him sleep." Everyone stays quiet for a moment and I lean against the door frame. Alphonse bows to them both and says "Thanks... both of you." Winry gives Al a surprised look. "What's this? Why so formal?" Al looks at Ed. "Granny, Winry... I'm so grateful to you always welcoming us like we're really family. He won't ever say it but... I know brother feels the same way." Winry smiles. "Al..." Pinako nods and pats Al's arm. "Don't you worry, dear. We know he feels that way too, he doesn't have to say it."

I turn and leave the room. I hate how things are when I first arrive in a dimension. I always feel like I'm intruding in on their special moments. It's always hard to get the time to bond with anyone, even just a little bit. Ed and I apparently bond over spars, Al and I both love small animals. Me and Winry? I really should find a way to bond with her. I kinda like her. She doesn't get as much screen credit as she should. At least, I think so. But still. 'I really wish I could speed up the process, like last ti-' I shake my head and plop down into the chair behind me. I've somehow ended up outside on the porch. I swear I was going to the bedroom. I sigh and put my head in my hands. 'I really gotta thinking about that. It's past. I can't go back to it, no matter how bad I wish I could...'

I look up into the sky. The sun has set and the stars are out. 'We aren't even looking at the same stars, are we?... God I miss you. Do you miss me? ...I want so bad to come visit. Just see how things are for you guys. Is Seto still the same? Or did he go back to how he used to be? Is Mokie still that sweet kid I loved like my own? ...Are YOU still the same?' My heart squeezes at how much I miss them. Lillian appears in the chair next to me with her rarest expression, slight concern in her eyes and a frown. 'You need to move on... like you always do.' I don't move. "Can I really move on from them? I had... We were one big family. No matter how crazy things got, we stuck together and fixed it with barely a problem.' 'What about those other times you got stuck somewhere? What about Shadow? I mean you DIED to save him and Mobius!' I shade my eyes my bangs, trying hard not to show how much I want to cry. "That was nothing more than a school-girl crush. Ya-" I cough and use his real name. "Atem was...is... the only guy who was willing to go up against everything, even his own friends, to make sure I was OK... That's more than Shadow, or even Trunks, went through for me." 'So they're...' "They have Ashley and Sky. Atem's got Ah-Ra." I nearly choke on the name of my own character and friend. I rub my cheeks to rid my face of tears. 'God I'm so freaking emotional lately. And it's not coming here that's doing it.' Lillian pats my shoulder, looking away. 'To think that was the first time we've ever met too... all 'cause that albino freak wanted to make you duel Yami.' I grit my teeth, nearly growling at her, still not looking away from the sky. "His name's Atem." I sigh and look down at my feet, smiling weakly. "And he's the single most amazing guy I've ever met..."

I nearly go and ask Winry to re-check Ed's automail as we're packing up to leave. Well, Ed's the only one still packing after breakfast. As we stand outside, prepped to leave, Ed talks to Pinako. "Thank you again for everything, Granny." Pinako doesn't really to seem to care one-way or the other, though she smiles "Sure." Alphonse glances around. "Hey, where's Winry?" Pinako holds her pipe. "Resting. She stayed up three nights in a row. Want me to wake her?" Ed shakes his head, turning slightly pale at the mention of his mechanic. "No, that's okay. She'd just nag me." Ed pulls a cruddy Winry impression. "Make sure to do your maintenance or whatever." I glare at him and smack him upside the head. He yelps and glares at me. Pinako shakes her head. We start to leave.

"Hold on a second, boys." Edward glances back at the elder. "Hm?" "You should come back once in a while and have dinner with us." Pinako suggests. Ed rolls his eyes. "You want us to come all this way into the mountains just for some dinner?" I glance up at the balcony just as a sleepy blonde trudges outside and calls down to the guys. "Edward! Alphonse! Come back soon, 'kay?" Ed grins and turns back down the road, waving over his shoulder. "Yeah!" He calls back. I grin and bow to Pinako. "Thank you for allowing me to stay here. I'd love to come back and visit sometime soon!" Pinako nods and holds her pipe up. Winry waves down sleepily. I turn and rush after the guys.

As we sit on the train on the way back to Central, two things sit on my mind...ok, three things. 1. Ed's arm and the bolt Winry forgot. 2. Marcoh's research. That's going to be so bad. I really hope that by helping decipher the notes will help with getting Ed to trust me... ANYWHOSALS! (THIS IS MY WORD! I CLAIM ALL COPYRIGHTS TO THIS WORD OVER HERE! UNDERSTAND?!) 3. MY BUTT IS KILLING ME! I MEAN, SERIOUSLY! THESE THINGS ARE JUST WOOD PLANKS AND THEY'RE SO! FREAKING! HARD! MY ASS IS GOING TO BE FUCKING KILLING ME WHEN WE GET THERE! AND THEN I'M GOING TO PROTEST THESE DAMNED SEATS TO MUSTANG! NOO! I'LL COMPLAIN TO THE FURHER HIMSELF! *le sigh* 'I really need to stop talking to myself...' 'Yes, you're just so fucking weird.' 'Shut up! I talk to you, don't I?! And you count as a part of me!' 'I...Well...uhm...Ah...' 'Mhmmm' 'Fuck you, I'm going back to sleep.' I smile, kinda proud of myself. I lean back in my seat and pull my phone out, headphones and all. I play the first song on the thing and settle back for the trip. 'I seriously hate these damned seats...'

Ok, so this chapter will be kinda short, considering I wrote it within 4 hours. Maybe not even that.
