Madetsuchi: Let us begin...and please, no crying...I've run out of tissues.

"I'll work under you...and help push you to the top," He stood right in front of me, close enough to touch. His expression had that uncommon serious look, blue eyes calm and dull.

"Huges..." He gave me a small, sad smile. He looked up then back at me. "It's going to rain." Then he sighed, and removed his glasses to clean them on his uniform. When he put them back on, he nodded to me, gave a small salute, and turned around, to walk away. To somewhere I couldn't follow, no matter what I did. I stood frozen, until he looked back, saying over his shoulder.

"Take care of my Elicia, will you, Colonel?"

"Wha..." I found I could speak, and move, again. But he was already fading, as lighting flashed, and a moment later thunder drummed. "Wait!"

Rain began to fall, hard and fast, blurring my vision, and I reach out. But he was gone.

I threw myself after him. I still had so much to say, so many apologies, jokes to share. My arms were out stretched, eyes's closed.

And ended up embracing cold stone. A stone slab, wet with rain. With your name carved into it...Maes...

"Huges! No, wait! Come back, don't die!" Lightning flashed, brighter than before.

"NO!" I sat up in bed, panting. I stayed there for a second, eyes darting around the room as if I would find him there. Then I took a deep breath and closed my eyes, before forcing my grip to relax. I had been throttling my pillow.

"I'll do it for you. I'll fight my way to the top, no matter what. You may have beaten my rank at your end, but I'll triumph for the both of us," I sank my face into the pillow, shoulder shaking. I refused to cry. "I-I just wish I could have your advice, again, however lousy it was...M-maes..."

"Roy." I bit my lip. Wouldn't cry, wouldn't cry. I could see him grinning, like he did when he flashed pictures of his daughter. "Roy...listen...get yourself a wife!" I could hear him laugh.

"Huges," I growled, strangling the poor pillow again. But I smiled any way.

Madetsuchi: M-maes! Why'd you havta die? TT

Envy&Roy: ...() See. This is why we're out of tissues. Sushi finally got to see episode 25.

Envy&Roy: Ok

Roy: We never did talk on how it happened...hmmm. I assumed Winry made him drink it while he slept. But coffee...hmmmm...

Madesuchi: Don't even think about trying that on him. My last house was destroyed when you couldn't resist teasing him on his height.

Roy: P Caught red handed...

Envy: Hehe...hi...Sorry, cheated on you...but she pays well! -Points at grumpy Sushi-

Madetsuchi: Yeah, 100 a day kinda drains a young authors wallet.

Envy: But she doesn't provide body guards against rabid fangirls...

Madetsuch: -Glare- Say hi to Scar-san for me!

Ah, and the Color was done in Paint. First time ever attempted. I am never doing that again!

Envy: I am evil! Get that? EVIL. E-v-i-l. I look- I look like an innocent, young, and cute teenager!
