It had taken years but he had accomplished his goal. All that research had paid off in the end. He wouldn't need those books again, Ed thought with a grin. He glanced over at his brother; they had finally did it.

Al had his body back.

He had his limbs.

It seemed like a dream come true and maybe it was.

Ed looked over to his brother, who was eating and it made him smile.

They were on the train to Central to visit the Colonel and the rest of the unit.

Ed looked out the window and saw that they were almost at Central. Ed felt a smile on his lips. They were back.

Ed had tried staying up and waiting for Mustang, but he ended up falling asleep. When Roy had finished his paperwork, he had stumbled upon Ed asleep at Havoc's desk and couldn't help but smile.

Ed had busted into the office at once to present Al. Everyone had said congratulations and fussed over Al. Hawkeye the most of course, and Al played with Black Hayate for the remaining day.

While everyone fussed over Al, Ed had glanced over at Roy and smiled while Roy smirked in return before the taller man changing his focus from the short blond to Al.

Roy looked at Ed and brushed some hair out of his face with a fond smile. He turned the chair, Ed was resting in and put him on his back.

Ed's arms found themselves thrown around the Colonel's strong neck and his face buried into a blue uniformed shoulder.
