"Is that really you?" She asked.

"Yes, well, sort of." He said.

"What do you mean 'sort of'?" She gave him a confused look.

"This is my spirit. My body is on the other side." He explained. "I came back to say goodbye. Eliza, I love you. You are my pride and joy. You'll always be my baby girl. I would do what ever it took to keep you safe. I went to Lior with Hughes because we had a bet that you and Ed had destroyed the hotel when you heard about the reservation you had. I lost. We were walking to the train station and the homonculi attacked us. It's not your fault, baby. Don't beat yourself up. This was my fault, not yours."

"Dad. Do you have to go?" She asked, tears welling in her eyes.

"I sorry, baby. But I have to. Besides, I think Dominique has waited long enough for me." He said.

"Tell her I say hi. I'll miss you so much. I don't know how I will survive without you two." She said softly. Roy smiled

"Don't worry. You still have Ed." He said, as he started to dissappear. Eliza smiled. "I love you, Eliza. And I always will."

"Goodbye, dad." She whispered, and turned and walked away.

In the weeks following Maes' and Roy's deaths, Eliza had fallen into a deep depression. She rarely talked, and whenever she did, her voice was as emotionless as ever. They would try to get a rise out of her, calling her and Ed the "perfect couple", making fun of her height, but they always got a "yeah" or a "hmm" and most of the time, nothing at all.

Ed was getting worried. He had been sleeping outside her door since he was afraid she would do something drastic. And almost every night, he would hear sobs coming from her room, and this night was no different.

He woke up to an ear piercing scream coming from her room. He rushed in and found her sitting up in her bed, in a cold sweat and a look of pure terror on her face.

"Eliza! Are you ok?" He rushed over to her and pulled her into hug.

"That dream. That nightmare. That memory. The pain. It won't go away. Make it go away. Please, Ed, make it go away." She said, rocking back and forth.

"What are you talking about, Eliza?" Ed asked, holding her still.

"The pain! Make it go away!" She yelled. He realized what she was saying.

"There's no way I'm doing that or letting anyone do that to you Eliza. We're going to get through this. Everything will be fine." He said as he kissed her forehead. "Now, tell me about your dream."

"It...it was dark. We were in Lior. In an old abandoned warehouse. I told you to leave and threw my necklace at you. You left like I told you to." She started. He realized what she was about to tell him.

"The lady, she stabbed me in my shoulder with her fingernail. Then the palm tree, she grabbed me by my mother's necklace and yanked me to the floor." She said. Ed smiled inwardly at Eliza's description of Envy. She continued. "I pulled myself out of her grasp and lit her on fire, but the flames just went away. She came at me with a sword and I pulled out my knife. She slashed my cheek." She touched her cheek where there was still a light scar. "She asked me. 'What is your weakness?' and I just told her to go to hell. Then, she changed into Daryl. How she knew about him was a mystery to me. But I just attacked the Daryl in front of me, he deserved to be killed. He's a lying, stealing, cheating, no good, son of a bitch bastar-" Ed cut her off and put his finger to her lips.

"Calm down." He whispered. "Now, what happened next?"

"I stabbed Daryl in the chest, but the illusion just rippled back to the palm tree girl and she was fine. Then she changed into an image of my dad. And I attacked him. The girl was intent on finding my weakness, and to tell you the truth, I didn't even know what my weakness was. She changed into Riza, then Al, and then Hughes. But each time I just attacked. She changed into you. I hesitated, which earned me a cut on my arm." She traced the phantom wound. "But I still attacked. Then, she changed into my mom. The air halted in my breath. How could she know what my mom looked like? I mean, she died when I was five. And I couldn't do it. I couldn't attack her as my mom. I could barely move. She talked, she said 'Well, Eliza. It seems I found your weakness. I win.' in a voice that sounded so much like my mother's. My knees buckled from underneath me and I fell to the floor. The next thing I knew, I woke up and I was chained to a wall. 'Well, it seems you've finally woken up.' The lady said. Palm tree was standing next to her and on her othe side there was a fat man who looked like an overweight child. 'May I eat her now, Lust?' he asked. To my surprise, she told him no. She said that she would kill me if I didn't obey them. I told them that I would rather eat my own leg than do that. She extended her fingernails and stabbed me in my other shoulder. It hurt like hell but I wouldn't scream. I wouldn't give them what they wanted. They kept that up for what seemed like weeks, the same thing everyday. Then I finally got fed up. I made to snap, but my gloves were gone. 'Looking for these?' the palm tree asked me, holding up my gloves and throwing them over her shoulder. I was pissed that they stole my gloves, but I didn't need them. I told my dad it was a good idea to get the arrays tattooed onto my skin. I sent stakes of ice at them, knocking them to the ground. 'You learn your place, bitch!' the palm tree yelled and slapped me, I set her hair on fire. Nobody calls me a bitch. I melted the shackles that were around my wrists and legs and stood up. The lady and the fat man were stuck in between the wall and my stakes, leaving me and the palm tree the only ones able to move. I spotted my knife, along with my gloves only a few feet behind the palm tree. She realized what I was doing but it was to late. I froze her inside a block of ice and grabbed my affects. I drew a transmutation in the dirt on the ground and made a steel cage around the three and I ran. I hopped on a train and came here. I couldn't believe that I got out of there alive." She finished, shaking her head slightly.

"Eliza. If I had known that that would happen. I would never had left you." Ed said as he pulled her into a tighter hug.

"I know." She said as she looked into his honey amber eyes. The sun was just coming up, and the golden rays of the sun seemed to dance and mix with his blond hair.

"And Eliza..." He said, a small smile on his face. "Envy is a guy." She punched him lightly.

"I love you, Ed." She whispered as she lay her head on his chest.

"I know." He said. She looked at him, waiting for more. "I love you, too." He pulled her into a passionate kiss. They heard shouts and applause and whistles. They looked toward the door, and almost the entire HQ was there. They had coming running when they heard Eliza scream.

Ed blushed and Eliza had a look of anger in her eyes that made them all go running back to their dorms. "Now, where were we?" She asked as she kissed him again.

Unbeknownst to them, the others were back, but were smart not to applaud this time.

"What the hell is everybody doing up?" An infuriated Hawkeye yelled, firing her gun at the people, bringing Ed and Eliza's attention back to the door.

Eliza got a dark look in her eye that scared the crap out of Ed. She walked calmly to the door and stood, waiting for people to notice her there.

"GET THE HELL AWAY FROM MY DORM OR YOUR ALL FRIED AND FREEZE DRIED CHICKEN!" She yelled, bringing her hands up in a snapping position, making everyone run away instantly. "Thank you." She said to no one as she walked back into her room and shut the door. "Now that that problem's dealt with. Where were we again?" She asked sweetly as she sat back down on Ed's lap.

"I now know what you mean when you said you have a dark mind." Ed said with a small laugh.

"Shut up and kiss me." She growled, pulling him into yet another kiss.

-end chappy!

Well, there you go! The loverly chapter 9.I hope you liked it! I was able to update before Ileft! Yay! I am so proud of this chapter!It's so much longer than the other chapters! I hope it wasn't too long:D wow, those were some pretty mean words for me to write, seeing as I'm a veggie.(tarian)

i want to clear a few things up-

Eliza knew that they were homonculi, but thats all she knew

Hughes is her godfather

What you all are probably imagining they did in her room, they did. But i didn't feel like writing it, so use you imagination.

Dominique is Eliza's mom

If you haven't figured it out, the initials on her necklace, DM, stand for Dominique Mustang

Yes, the dialogue at the funeral is word for word the dialogue in Ep. 25

Her gloves have two different powers, the right's is fire, the left's is ice, hence "fried and freeze dried chicken"

When Roy told Eliza that "he lost" he meant that lost the bet because the hotel was still intact

Eliza and Ed are the same height

They couldn't hear Gluttony and Lust talking in the church

CHAPTER 6 IS NOT THE END! THIS ISN'T EITHER!

When Mustang and Hughes died, they were not promoted because they were not killed in action

Ed and Eliza did not go back to Lior after chapter 7

When she told Ed to "make it go away", she meant that she wanted him to kill her

Maybe I should just post this list as a chapter:D it certainly could be long enough.

reveiwer responses-

how sad, no one reviewed :'( -look, you guys made me cry! j/k
