The Lake
AngolMoaChan
Chapter 4
Since this is the last verse of the poem, this is the last chapter! Enjoy it!
Disclaimer: I don't own FMA or the poem "The Lake" and if I did own FMA, Envy would be getting poked to death very…very…slowly… (evil laugh)

Death was in that poisonous wave
And in it's gulf, a fitting grave
For him who thence could solace bring?
To his lone imagining—
Whose solitary soul could make
An Eden of that dim lake

Edward sat at the lake once more, his golden orbs reflecting back at him in the dim lake. It was dark, and the trees were swaying gently in the breeze. He could see why Al had nightmares about this place, with its intimidating shadows and whistling winds. Calmly, he snatched a stone and tossed it across the water. One, two, three, four! He let out a whoop, and then mentally slapped himself for acting so idiotic over stone skipping. Just as he was getting ready to leave, he saw another stone. One, two, three, four, five? He growled and looked up.
Oh.
Winry was standing there, a big grin on her face.
"I win."
"No you don't!" Ed grabbed another stone, tossing it. Six skips, "Ha! Beat that!" Winry shrugged her shoulders and took a small smooth stone.
"I'm sorry, did you say six? I just got SEVEN!" Ed stood there dumbfounded. Winry beat him at something…that wasn't a foot race or a staring contest.
"You cheated!"
"I did not! You are just jealous!"
"I AM NOT!"
"Yes you are!"
"Am NOT!" Ed huffed, turning around so his back was turned to her. She giggled. This was their little game. Now only one more part…
"Sorry!" she laughed, pecking him on the cheek.
"Apology accepted."
The lake was anything, from a place to cry to a place to reminisce. But with all of it's forbidden temptations, it was truly Ed's garden of Eden. What were the forbidden temptations, you ask? Why there was only one!
Winry.

All done! Thanks to my dad for info on the poem! I actually had a friend beat me in a stone skipping contest with SEVEN skips. I was mad. Really mad. xDDD
