Chapter 7 - 3 years onward
THIS IS THE FINAL CHAPTER! REMEMBER TO READ MY OTHER FICS MY EVER LOYAL FANS!
"Yo! Mustang!" Edward Elric said over the phone to Roy."This better be important Ed..." Roy Mustang said, already clenching his fist. "It is...you see...PUBLIC HOLIDAY TOMMOROW! DON'T FORGET TO COME TO REZEMBOOL AND SEE MY TWIN KIDS!" "DAMMIT ED! THATS THE 50TH TIME YOU'VE TOLD ME THAT! I ALREADY TOLD YOU I'LL COME TO SEE THEM!" Roy yelled constantly snapping his fingers. "C'mon man! Show an interest, you ARE the their godfather." "Ed, I'm sure you're very proud of your kids, and I'm proud of mine...but could you please STOP BOTHERING ME DURING OFFICE HOURS?", Roy was still frantically snapping his fingers forcing everyone to run out of the office in case he lost control. "Speaking about kids Roy...you certainly had your's a bit later than expected." "It only seems that way because you had your kids when you were 15 YEARS OLD!" Roy stopped snapping his fingers, instead he was now banging his desk. "15 isn't that early...Anyway, theres another reason I called you." "Oh thank god." Roy fell into his chair. "Its about the Alchemy Exams, I swear to God they're all too mediocre, but I have to give at least one pocket watch this year...because...you said so." Ed said, playing with his hair. "Intresting...you deal with it." "DAMN YOU! Fine, but remember..." There was a great silence, then Ed spoke. "DON'T FORGET TO COME TOMMOROW!" "THATS-" Before Roy had finished, Ed already hung up. "DAMN!" Roy hung up the phone and banged the table with a fist. "Don't swear around the baby, honey." Riza walked through the door with a baby in her arms, she sat down on the couch in Roy's office and began to give the baby some affection by poking his nose everytime his little arms reached out for her, and kissing his forehead once in a while. "So Roy, how are the Alchemy Exams going?" Roy walked over to the couch and put his arm over Riza's shoulder, he started to shake his son's hand. "Hello Junior, whats up little man?" Roy played with his son for a while longer and then answered, "Oh, you know, same old stuff, lots of mediocre alchemists this year. Oh, by the way, we gotta be in Rezembool tommorow." Roy said with his face in his hand. Riza chuckled "Look what fatherhood has done to him..." Roy and Riza lauged together out loud. "Well, we'd better book the train, I'll bet Full Metal is already on the train right now." Roy picked up baby Roy Mustang Jr., "C'mon, your old man is gonna take you to see an old friend." "You're holding him wrong honey, let me do it!" Riza panicked and snatched the baby out of his arms.
IN REZEMBOOL
Ed was walking down the road to his house, the sun was shining brightly, Ed enjoyed a good sunny day, he hated the city life and how central was so glum. Ed finally got to the front door of his house, before he could knock on the door it already opened and 2 exited children, both with straight blond hair that didn't seem to part from anywhere ran out of the front door. "DADDYS HOME! DADDYS HOME!" The children continually screamed as Ed kneeled down to hug them. "Hey, Tim! Nina!" "Hey, kids! Don't get too exited now!" Winry scoled them as she approached Ed, "Hey, honey, did you miss me?" Winry asked Ed, her arms wrapped around Ed, who had gotten up by now, "More and more each day." Ed said with a smirk and gave Winry a kiss on the lips. "EWWWW!" Tim and Nina Elric yelled out, sticking their toungues out. "Ah shaddap! How d'ya think y'all got here in the first place?" Ed pointed at the kids with a big grin. "You kids go to your great granny's house and play there for a while, I'm sure she'd love your company." Winry told the kids as they ran in the direction of Pinako's house, jumping and screaming. Winry and Ed sat down at the table. "Hey Winry, where's Al?" "Oh hes probably out with his girlfriend." "GIRLFRIEND? When did this happen?" Ed yelled, grinning as he undid his plats, just then the door opened. "Hey Win- Brother? Hey brother!" Al ran over to Ed and gave him a hug. Ed whispered into Al's ear "So Al, I heard you got yourself a girlfriend, whats she like? DETAILS! DETAILS!" Ed snapped back to reality as he felt the cold hard truth of the WRENCH smash his skull into a thousand tiny pieces. "I HEARD THAT YOU PERV!" Winry pulled Ed up by his hair. "Just...kidding..." Winry dropped Ed on the floor, barely concious, but he miraculously got up again less than a second later. After a few minutes of general chit-chat, somebody knocked the door, Al went to answer it. "FURHER MUSTANG! BRIGADERE GENERAL HAWKEYE! How the-" Al pointed at Roy and Riza, a little too exited to speak. "Enough with the formalities Al." Roy waved his hand. "Hey Ed!" Roy smirked. "How d'you get here so early?" Ed pointed a finger at Roy. "Simple, I'm the Furher, so I got faster, better trains than you." "Damn you Furher...never sharing any of the fringe benifits...!" Ed cursed under his breath. "Anyway, WHO IS THIS? LITTLE MUSTANG JUNIOR! HE SOOOO CUTE!" Ed fussed over Roy and Riza's baby for a minute then, there was nothing to talk about, silence... "So!" Ed said to break the silence, "C'mon guys! Lets get to Pinako's house before Tim and Nina fuck everything up!" "No potty mouth infront of the baby!" Riza smacked Ed on the cheek, Ed shrugged his shoulders and laughed loudly. "Don't mistake your fortune Edward! The only reason you don't have a hole in your head is because I don't want to shoot you infront of Junior." Ed gasped in horror "Alright! Sorry..." "Good, now you boys go to Pinako's house first. I have to feed Junior." The men knew she meant it an ran for it.
When everyone was at Pinako's house Winry and Pinako went oudside to watch the kids. "Al..." Ed, Roy and Riza had him cornered. "Uh...guys...?" Al wimpered. "Who is she?" "Alphonse, you should be very careful about women." "So Al, how many times have we gotten into...you know..." Al stared for a while and took a deep breath. "Alright Ed, her name is Elaine, she lives a few miles from here. Riza, I trust her completely, shes a very nice girl. Roy, I'm not like you." Ed, Riza stared in an awkwad silence, Roy looked at Al in utter disgust. "Alrighty then. I'll be outside with the kids." Ed walked away. "Its nice that your happy with her." Riza walked away. "You haven't fucked her? I'm leaving the room!" BANG! Roy ran away. Now everyone was in Pinako's back yard, relaxing and playing with the kids. "So, Pinako. Hows business been without me anymore?" Ed asked "Hell, ever since people knew the legendary Full Metal Alchemist got his automail in Rezembool, automail users all around the country came swarming in every big holiday." Pinako puffed out some smoke. "Pinako have you seen Father I haven't seen him all day." Al came carrying Tim on his back. "I think he went for a walk, like he usually does." "Okay then, just wonderi-" "Uncle Al! Can you each me alchemy?" Al chuckled and put the boy down, "Go ask your father I'm sure he'd be a better teacher than me." Tim and Al Elric grinned at each other, although Tim's was one of those impossibly large grins unique to Ed, then Tim ran over to Ed. Al walked over to Riza, "Well, Scar still on the loose?" Al asked casually. "Yes, but there haven't been any slayings for a while now. Speaking of Scar, he was the reason Ed had to come back here in the first place wasn't he?" Al laughed, "Yes, come to think about it, it was thanks to him that I'm human again, and the fact that Tim and Nina exist is thanks to him." There was a short silence before Al spoke again. "I guess even a murderer can bring life to people."
"No!" "Why not?" "They did nothing to harm you!" "They massacred our people!" "You must endure it!" "It is the will of our god, Ishbala!" "It is not!" Scar and his teacher were arguing about his killing of State Alchemists. "No! This is my final desicion, you will stay here as an Ishbalan refugee!" Scar grunted and sulked as he would now have to live among the Ishbalans and be a civillian.
THAT IS THE END OF TEENAGE ANGST! DON'T MISS THE SEQUEL! SCAR: AN ISHBALAN REFUGEE!
