Chapter 10: Ocean Avenue
Everyone knew it was late, but they were having too much fun with this, and seeing how anxious Winry and Havoc were to get in at least one more song, they were willing to cooperate. Especially considering Roy was interested to see how Ed would react to his blonde companion doing a duet with the flirtatious first lieutenant. He was sitting with his arms crossed and a slightly annoyed look on his face as the two made their way onto the stage.
"Relax, Ed. he's not gonna steal your girlfriend from you." Roy teased and Ed glared at him. Roy just grinned and nodded towards the stage at the singing pair.
WINRY: There's a place off Ocean Avenue
Where I used to sit and talk with you
We were both 16 and it felt so right
Sleeping all day, staying up all night
Staying up all night
HAVOC: There's a place on the corner of Cherry Street
We would walk on the beach in our bare feet
We were both 18 and it felt so right
Sleeping all day, staying up all night
Staying up all night
BOTH: If I could find you now
Things would get better
We could leave this town
And Run forever
Let your waves crash down on me
And take me away, yeah
Clearly Winry noticed Ed's annoyance/disapproval and pulled the confused blonde onto the stage.
WINRY (to Ed): There's a piece of you that's here with me
It's everywhere I go it's everything I see
When I sleep, I dream and it gets me by
I can make believe that you're here tonight
That you're here tonight
Ed's face went red, but soon he found a mic in his hand and both him and Havoc singing the next part.
HAVOC: If I could find you now
Things would get better
ED (grinning): We could leave this town
And run forever
ROY(who had also been pulled on stage): know somewhere, somehow we'll be together
Let your waves crash down on me
ALL: And take me away, yeah
(music break) By now everyone had made their way onto the stage.
GRACIA and SHEZKA facing HUGHES and FALMAN: I remember the look in your eyes
When I told you that this was goodbye
HUGHES and FALMAN FACING THEM:You were begging me not tonight
Not here
Not now
RIZA and ROY to each other: We're looking up at the same night sky
And keep pretending the sun will not
ED AND WINRY TO EACH OTHER: We'll be together for one more night
Somewhere, somehow
HAVOC, AL, and BREDA into the same mic: If I could find you now
Things would get better
FUERY and FALMAN: We could leave this town
And run forever
ALL: I know somewhere, somehow we'll be together
Let your waves crash down on me
And take me away, yeah
The group laughed as they finished up the song. After cleaning up their mess and grabbing their things, they began making their way out and towards home, Falman offering to walk Shezka home. "Thanks for the fun night, Maes." called Roy as he waved to his friend. Maes grinned and nodded, waving before turning and putting an arm around his wife, walking away. Roy grinned and turned to Riza. "Shall we go." he said, holding out his arm and Riza laughed, shaking her head.
"Course, sir." she said and together they walked home in the comfortable silence yet again, but found themselves humming along the way.
