Standing in the doorway, clothes ripped and stained with blood, body covered in bruises and cuts, was Eliza, who was staring back at them with the same disbelieving look on her face.

"E-Ed?" She asked softly, not sure if she was dreaming or not. "Are you real?" She asked as she slowly started walking toward him.

"I was just about to ask you the same thing." Ed smiled slightly and pulled her into a hug. "Eliza. I thought I'd lost you." He said into her hair, pulling her into a tighter embrace.

"Oh, Ed. I thought I'd never see you again. I thought I was going to die. I thought they were going to kill me." She said as she buried her head in his shoulder.

"It's ok, Eliza. I'm here now. Everything will be fine." He said as he started to rub her back soothingly.

She looked up at him. "You promise?" She asked.

"I swear it." He said and pulled her into a passionate kiss.

After a moment, she kissed him back, and soon, they had forgotten where they were and started making out on Mustang's couch.

Roy couldn't believe his eyes. They had left on the train three weeks ago about ready to kill each other, and now, they were making out on his couch. He knew they were in love, and nothing could break that bond between them. Nothing. They would spend the rest of their lives together. He knew it. He was sure. Ed had melted the ice around Eliza's heart in three weeks, something he had been trying to do since her mother died, back when she was just a child of five. That alone proved that they were meant for each other. Plus the fact that they were the same height. He laughed to himself. He would have to tell them about that small detail later. For now, he just needed to tell them to get a room.

-end chappy!

ERGH! These always end up being shorter than they seem! Look at the stupid scroll bar! ARGH! And, this is NOT the last chapter, I could make it be. But I have other plans. So don't go anywhere. well, ok, you can, but just be sure to read it. WARNING! CHARACTER DEATH NEXT CHAPTER! If you don't like depressing stories, for you, this can be the end, but it will get happier...hopefully. i want this to be at least 10 chapters. i mean, i have another story and it has 10 chapters done and thats not even half done. and the chapters are long too, like average 2000 wpc (words per chapter). It's an IY fic and it was my first fic ever. It's called "New School, New Loves". There's a better summary of it on my profile. Please r&r that. Cause i am on the brink of quiting it cuz only like 1 person actually reads it, and i really dont want to have to leave Kat hangin'. So, for her, r&r my story. Thankies! If you do, you'll get a cookie! And I know that sounds totally desperate to have to ask people to read it, but i put a lot of hard work into it, and it derserves more than about 3 readers, which is what it has right now. wow, this is like almost as long as the chapter!
