Ed wiped the sweat off of his brow as he climbed to his feet. "brother.."

Al whimpered, begging for an answer. Slowly, ed turned around and faced him. A small smile

crawled across Ed's face as he softly replied, " Yes, Al?" Al ran at his brother and held him ever so

close. Ed squirmed around in Al's huge metal arms until he was released.

" Brother…I thought you were gone….for good…" Al looked down and twiddled his thumbs.

"Well I'm here now, aren't I?" Ed replied while dusting himself off. An awkward silence filled the

empty room. "mew.." a kitten's cry came from inside of Al's chest. "what was that?" Ed looked

suspiciously towards Al. " Er… nothing?" Al said with a sweat drop climbing down the back of his

head. A sigh slipped out of Ed's lips as he pressed one ear against the cold metal that continued to

meow. "uh…uh?" Ed looked up at Al and tapped his foot upset. A little sniffle escaped Al. " Oh

brother…may I please keep him? Please brother!" Ed moaned and replied, "Fine… but.. Just this

kitten, no others. Got it!" Al nodded happily and pulled the orange and white kitten out. "OH

PRETTY KITTY!" Al rubbed the poor kitten against his cold metal face as the baby cat meowed.
