Originally a seperate fic but I decided to do a series of one-shots instead. So yea, here is what was originally my first Hagaren fic -

Yes! It's my first Hagane fic! I enver expected my first FMA fic to be like this though... but anyways I wanted to start with a one-shot so I don't get distracted form my current on-going fics. There's a couple things to get clear first. Right now I'm watching the series over and over again to better remember it cause well the subtitles are really...bad... that's an understatement. So there will probably be a lot of things wrong in it, so please correct me if I'm wrong. And, I don't know if I'm going to use the term int his fic but just to let you know, I use National instead of State Alchemist. Because... Well in the original anime, it was supposedly supposed to be that way but of course since the english translations were done by Americans it was obviously changed to State. I'm not American so bleh I'm using National. And I watch the japanese version of the anime with english subtitles and haven't see the english version so amybe some points will differ cause I realized that the english and jap versions were incredibly different. I prefer FMA as an anime so I never read the manga either so... yea I think thats it. Sorry for the long explanation "

Warning: Spoilers for movie, well if you can call it that -.- And I guess there's spoilers for the end of the series too.

Disclaimer: I don't own FullMetal Alchemist YET! But I'm saving up! And so far... -counts- I have a five dollar bill, a dime and a penny . "

Oh yes and if anyone could explain to me exactly where Ed should be right now -.-" Cause I can't tell between Munich and London... or are both wrong?

A Forgotten Face

By: KatYoukai

Edward Elric, former National Alchemist, wandered down the streets of London after returning from his trip. If you could even call it that. His lead had turned out to be a dead end. Again.

Ed sighed, stopping in the park near the apartment he shared with his father and sitting down on the bench. It was ironic really. His situation right now was so much like his search for the Philosopher's Stone. Except this time he was alone. The boy sighed, closing his eyes. It had almost been a year now.

" I wonder... what could Aru be doing right now?" He thought aloud.

Groaning, he rested the back of his hand against his eyes, shielding them from the glare of the sun but mostly to fight back to tears. He never cried and he wasn't going to start now. After a moment, Edward jumped back onto his feet with a sudden burst of energy. His father had said there was someone he wanted him to meet. Another scientist supposedly. His mood brightened a little.

Ed smiled weakly,' I'll just have to keep trying then.'

He continued his walk back home witha little more vigor in his step this time. During this time, his thoughts wandered. Things were still really confusing even after a year. Ed was a little grateful for his constant excursions. He still couldn't stand being so close to his father, even now. He'd lost his motives for hating the man but even so.

' I guess it's hard to grow out of old habits. I've hated him for 4 years afterall,' Ed thought.

That was true but even more true, Edward hated to be alone. And he'd never been seperated from his younger brother like this either. They'd always been together as kids and even after the other was always somewhere near, somewhere reachable.

Ed shook his head angrily. No, Al was somewhere reachable. He just had to figure out a way to get to him, that was all.

Either way, atleast Hohenheim offered him so company, some familiar face to look at.

The FullMetal Alchemist halted as he came to his door. He drew out his keys, put them into the keyhole and unlocked the door. As he did so, he couldn't help but think how dull life here was. The sky was grey and he saw little plant life. His life was like a neverending cycle. Ed wistfully thought back to the days when he and Al would run through the seemingly endless green hills in Risembool. Edward halted his actions whilst reaching for the doorhandle, realization striking him.

He was forgetting Al's face. He was forgetting his smiles and innocent eyes.

Edward trembled with held back emotions. He didn't want to forget. How could he forget? How could he forget his own brother? The one he'd known and been with all his life?

Voices inside drew his attention. Ed opened the door peeking inside, he could see Hohenheim talking to someone who's back was to him. He opened the door and slipped inside, closing the door behind him.

While his face was turned to the door, his father spoke," Edward, there's someone I thought you'd like to meet."

Edward turned to be greeted with an extremely familiar face. The eyes and hair colour were different, it only took Ed a moment to realize that but even so. Now, he could remember his face...

" I'm Alphonse Heiderich, pleased to meet you."

He hadn't forgotten at all...

Full Metal Vampire: Thanksa lot for the review! -sighs happily- I really do miss the Anime stacks :) Every little thing seems to hold so much more significance now. Well since you asked for an update, I just decided to make this story a series of one-shots. I don't know if you already read this though... -.-

Jus: Wow, not many of mydaily friends actually review to my fanfics. You and Nessa really are alike ;) Usually if my friends do read it, they make comments at school or on msn... oh well either way, I appreciate the review! And did that last one count as the sort of ending you describedearlier?
