Both of Edward and Russle stood and looked at each other for a second or two after Alphonse had left the library. Both boys simply gazed toward the other, their eyes locked together before Russle looked away with a smirk "Now tell me what you have been up to all these years and what excuse you have for not coming to visit us." He asked with a questioning look as he unfolded his arms and placing them on his hips.

Edward growled, Really not in the mood to explain the whole story "Does this look like a place to talk in secret?" He hissed.

Russle looked at Edward stupidly but then laughed and shook his head with a shrug of his shoulders "No." He said as he took a step forward to grab hard on Edward's ear and drag him outside for the library.

It took the two awhile to find a suitable and comfy place to talk. Finally they both agreed on a small area that seemed to be privet enough. It was an nice little shady area under a brick bridge that went over a very shallow and thin river, If that was what you could call it. Not very many people crossed the bridge or walked under it because it trains were used more often now and there was another bridge a bit closer to town.

Russle sat on the grassy ground and crossed his legs as he looked up to Edward with a frown "NOW WILL YOU TELL ME?" He whined, dieing to know where Edward had disappeared off to during those years, Or what he had done in the underground city where the two Tringhams had led him from a piece of paper out of their father's journal.

Edward leaned on one of the bridge walls and coughed as to clear his throat "Sure." He let out with a small sigh, Now he was more tired then before but he knew Russle wouldn't let him sleep if he didn't tell him sooner.

And thus he began to tell Russle about after he departed from the Trigham brothers to the Underground city, Once known as Central.

Fletcher coughed, the dirt had filled his nose, as he rubbed at his pounding head. Tears still in his eyes and there was small streaks down his face but he quickly whipped them away with the back of his sleeve.

"I'M SO SORRY!" A worried voice cried beside him.

Fletcher looked to his side were the voice came from to see a young blond boy about his age with blue eyes and soft blonde hair.

Fletcher gazed at the boy and gave him a weak smile "I-Its o-okay, really. It was my fault for not looking in front of me to begin with." He laughed nervously.There was some split and dirty fruit on the dirt road and the blonde boy was tightly holding some messed up bread "Man, I'm so sorry. Let me help pick these up." Fletcher muttered to himself as he picked up the fruit spread on the ground.

The boy frown as he watched Fletcher for a second before speaking again "I wasn't looking where I was going either. You really don't have to help, Its ok!" He said as he got to his knees and began to pick up the food. Fletcher laughed and shook his head "Nah, I'll feel bad. So, I'll buy you some more bread and fruit. I've gotta go pick up some food for my brother any way." He added as an excuse to find out who the boy was. It didn't matter much if he spent extra money. Ever since the Elrics left that day both Fletcher and Russle had gotten great jobs to help find more information on the Red Stone. The job paid very well.

"My name is Alphonse Elric. Thank you for being so kind about this." He said standing back up with the fruit in his arms, Fletcher helped him up so he wouldn't drop anything.

Wait. Alphonse? Elric?

"Nice to meet you." Al said happily as he offered his hand to Fletcher for a friendly hand shake.

Fletcher took Alphonse's hand in his own

"My name is Fletcher Tringham."

Russle looked at Edward in amazement, mouth agape and his eyes wide "So your saying all this time you have been in another world? This whole time?" Russle said in a high pitched voice, overwhelmed by the story he was just told.

Edward smirked at Russle's reaction to his tale, The other blonde looked stupid with that look "If luck wasn't on our side we might not even be here." He laughed stupidly, He was now on the ground across from Russle with his own legs crossed.

"You'll have to take me and Fletcher to underground Central someday. And Fletcher will be thrilled to here the news about Alphonse." Russle added standing up and dusting his legs from the dirt, his legs had fallen asleep so he began to stretch them, letting out a small grunt.

Edward got up as well and sighed as he looked up to the evening sky that looked like a water color painting "I guess I should find Al now. We are leaving next week, So if you need any thing we are always near by for the time being." He said with a wave and nod, walking off.

Russle watched after Edward blankly before frowning. It was all so sudden. And this is what Edward did as a reunion after four years of absents?
