Summary: Rated T for blood loss. (eye roll) "Sometimes the most amazing things can happen...sometimes, no matter how loosely or tightly you hold onto him or her, your love, your dream, he or she will slip right through your fingers."

'Cause there was a time when all I did was wish…
She stared out her window. This was a clear night. The moon, large and full, reflected the sun's light as millions of tiny pinpoints of light twinkled merrily. A long-forgotten children's rhyme passed through her head: Starlight, Star bright, First star I see tonight, I wish I may, I wish I might, Have the wish I wish tonight. The last time she wished upon a star, her two best friends somehow escaped death. Again. She sighed as she thought of those two. They're probably off trying to get themselves killed. Again. She sighed again and was about to go to bed when she saw a shooting star. Like she did every time she saw one, she wished for Ed and Al to be safe, to complete their mission soon and to come back to her safely.
Her mind stopped on something Ed said: "I can't wait to get my real arm and leg back." She was hurt, but she understood. While automail was finely crafted and the Rockbells' was among the best, there was nothing like flesh, blood and bone. She decided to add a new wish to the others: that Ed and Al would see that she wishes what they wish, that they'd see that sometimes all she does is wish, sometimes for herself, but much more often for them.
(A/N: Here's the next chapter! Sorry it's late, but things have been rather hectic around here, especially this week considering I'm going back to college this weekend. The next chapter will be ready by Sunday. That I can promise. Remember to read, review, enjoy!)
