The next night Ed, Al, and Calien went to Roy's office.

"Daddy.. am I really the Philospher's Stone?" She asked Roy right away. Roy looked at the floor.

"You found out..."

"I had a right to know.." She whispered.

"Look...I didn't want you to know because you were so young, and people can't know that that's what you are. Apparently it was passed down to you from your mother, it's a genetic mutation that only Ishbalans have..." He explained how he had found out when she was 6, after he had read the book on alchemic genetics by Dr.Marcoh.

"I also found this old video..." Roy showed them video footage of a man in a cage, there was a crowd around him and horrible riots all around the town square. The people ran up to him in turn and the flashes of white light coming from the cage were nearly constant. Finally, the man collapsed, his body cut and bleeding all over.

"He was a Stone, just like you, and the people held him there and insisted that he heal the sick and make dying people well again. He used too much of his alchemy too fast and it finally killed him...if anyone found out, they would eventually kill you...I love you and I don't want you to get hurt...I made a promise to protect you, and I've done everything I could to do that." Calien looked at Ed and Al, they couldn't look at her.

"I want to get their bodies back..." Calien said quietly. Roy knew he wouldn't be able to stop her, so he agreed. They didn't know if it would kill her or not. Ed knew of the huge risk she was going to take for them.

"I'll do Ed first, incase getting Al's body back kills me, then you'll both be back to normal." She smiled at them. She hugged Roy and he cried a little, but she begged him not to.

"Daddy, I'd rather die helping my friends than live my life with this power and never help anyone." She hugged and kissed Roy. Then she hugged Al, he tried to tell her that he didn't want to be normal if she could die getting his body back, but she wouldn't listen to him.

She kissed his cheek and hugged him, "you were always a human in my eyes, Al..." She whispered. Then came Ed.

"I love you, Ed...please...if I die, remember me always..."

"I will," he whispered fighting his tears, he was happy to be getting his body back, but he was sad to think that she might die, but he had hope. They kissed and Roy smiled.

She took off her locket and put it in his hand, "hang on to that for me, just incase..." She smiled a little.

Ed lay on the floor with his eyes closed. Before she began the transmutation, Ed sat up again.

"Wait!" he shouted.

"What?" Calien asked not understanding what was the matter.

"I forgot something..." He kissed her cheek and she looked puzzled.

"That's for luck," he said with a smile and a wink.

"For luck.." she repeated nervously. Then Ed laid back down and Calien knelt and put her hands on him and concentrated on his body becoing normal again. There was a sharp pain as the skin on her hands tore. Her blood stained his clothes. After a minute or so, the white glowing of her hands stopped and she fell backwards exhausted. Ed opened his eyes and moved his right hand. It was warm and he could feel things with it. The first thing he felt was a warm, sticky fluid...Calien's blood. He looked at his leg and arm, they were flesh! Calien pulled herself up and forced Al to lay on the floor. This would take a long time. It took nearly an hour for the tiny girl to make Al into a human again. Blood began to drip from her mouth and it seeped through her shirt. Suddenly in a huge flash of white light, the armor was gone and Al's body appeared, only it was matured to 16 years of age, and Ed almost didn't recognize his brother. Calien screamed and fell limp on the floor, the blood pouring from everywhere. Roy, Ed, and Al rushed her to the hospital. The girl was barely clinging to life.

Roy held her hand, "You did this once before and you got through it...I know you can make it again..just the fact that you aren't dead right now shows that you can do this..." The boys felt overjoyed to be back in their bodies, but also guilty because this tiny girl loved them enough to risk her own life to help them. Ed and Al stayed with Roy by Calien's bedside for two months without so much as a word from Calien. The doctor didn't think that she'd make it, but they said that her brain activity increased when Ed spoke to her. Ed read to her, he talked to her, he sang her songs, and sometimes he just said random words just so that she'd hear him. Roy watched as the boy desperately tried to bring his daughter back from wherever she was in her own mind. Ed only slept a few hours a night, fearing that if he stopped talking for too long, Calien would lose all the activity in her brain. If he could bringRoy her back, he was bent on doing it. Roy had seen how much they truly loved each other, and he was touched by their selflessness.

Finally, one morning she opened her eyes and seemed healed. There were no scars on her body, and the cuts had disappeared. Roy and Al were asleep, but Ed was awake. His gasp brought the other two to attention. They were shocked that she was waking up.

"Where am I? How long have I been sleeping?" She groaned. They explained what had happened.

She smiled at Al, "you're very handsome, Alphonse Elric..and you're taller than Ed." She winked at him, and the for the first time in almost ten years, he blushed. Ed frowned for a moment, but couldn't keep the smile away for long. He was so glad to see her awake.

"Oh!" Ed said quickly. He took her locket from around his neck and handed it back to her.

"I held on to that for you, just like you asked." She smiled up at him and felt the locket, it had been warmed by his skin. She quickly put it on.

When she got out of the hospital Roy told the three of them not to tell anyone what had truly happened. He told them to say that Ed had found a fake stone that was close to the real one, and that he was able to use it twice and then it broke apart. They agreed and that was the story that they held onto for the rest of their lives. Everyone believed that it was truly a miracle.

Oh yes, I could have ended there, but I didn't...there's a lot more to this story :) So stay tuned, and remember to read and review!
