Hi! Please note that I may forget to put something in Japanese that I have in the Glossary. You can notify me of that. Also notify me of mistakes in my Japanese... (only looking from a dictionary and from what I think (from watching animes)). Thank you and I hope you enjoy the last part of the Prolouge!

Title: Some Things Are Never Forgotten
Disclaimer: It all started when they were little. A little crush had sprung from him, and he still likes her, but when they meet each other again, will she live for long? EdwardxOC, RoyxRiza, AlphonsexWinry
Note: Since I'm using some Japanese terms.. I'll point out some of them (Some the same, some different every time.): Sayonara - Goodbye, Kombanwa - Good evening, Sakura blossoms - Cherry blossoms (I just use blossoms because I like the sound of Sakura blossoms better than I like the sound of just sakura), Itsu - When, Doko - Where, Tomarimas - Stop (cease), Nani tinda - What are you talking about.
Prologue: A Little Crush Part Two
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Aging: Edward - 6, Alphonse - 5, Saiyra - 6, Winry - 6
------------------------------------------
"Arigato gozimasu for coming over!" Saiyra called to the families, Rockbell and Elric, leaving.
"Ka-san..." Ed started.
"Hai?"
"Can Saiyra-san and... Hicomi-san come over sometimes... or can we go over to see them?"
"Hai... but only if it's Ok with Sakura-san and Takima-san."
"Hai!"
"Ka-san?" Al started this time.
"Hai Al-kun?" Trisha turned to Al.
"Can me, Ed, Winry-chan and Saiyra-san go down to the creek some time and play?"
"Yeah... can we Ka-san?" Ed agreed.
"Maybe... I can't promise.. gomenasai."
"It's Ok, Ka-san." Ed and Al said in sync.
6 Weeks Later
Ed and Al were on their way to Saiyra's house They each carried a bouquet of flowers and they both wore tuxedos. All three families were aware of the boys' crushes and, surprisingly, they weren't angry at all. When Ed and Al had told them, they just smiled and, more or less, tried to get them together more often, making future plans and so forth. Well today, was they're first date. Though they were a bit young, their parents insisted, surprisingly, and so here they were.
"You ready Al?" Ed asked Al as they stood at the door to Saiyra's house. Al nodded.
"If you're ready."
"I am." Ed blushed as he knocked on the door. The door opened.
"Kombanwa Ed-kun, Al-kun." Sakura said politely.
"Kombanwa Sakura-san." Sakura smiled.
"Saiyra-chan and Winry-chan will be down in a minute. Please come in."
"Arigato." Ed said quietly. Sakura just smiled.
A few minutes later. Saiyra and Winry quietly walked down the stairs, both blushing. But so were Ed and Al. They looked beautiful. Saiyra's hair was curled and Winry's was down in the front but up in the back. Saiyra wore a red and gold kimono dress and Winry wore a blue and gold kimono dress. Ed dusted off an dirt that was on him from the walk there.
Saiyra bowed a little and said, "K-... konichiwa... Ed-kun..."
Ed took her hand and said, "Kombanwa Saiyra-san." Both Ed and Saiyra were now blushing.
"H-..hai.. Kombanwa..." Saiyra said gently. Ed smiled.
"Kombanwa Winry-chan." Al said quietly.
"K-- kombanwa Al-kun.." Winry stuttered.
"Before you go.. We need a picture!" Sakura squealed. She took two pictures of Ed and Saiyra, "One for Trisha-san." She said. Then she took two pictures of Al and Winry.
"I- guess it's time for us to go.. Ka-san.." Saiyra said quietly, not wanting any more pictures to be taken. As Ed headed for the door, Hicomi grabbed his arm and warned,
"If anything happens to Saiyra-chan... you're in for it..." Ed nodded.
"I won't let anything happen to her." He assured.
"Good," Hicomi let go of his arm.
"Sayonara." Saiyra waved as they left the house.
"Sayonara!" Sakura waved back.
They walked along a path, next to the lake.
"Where are we going?" Saiyra asked looking around.
"You'll see." Ed simply replied and smiled.
"C'mon." Ed said after a few minutes. He gripped a bit tighter on Saiyra's hand, but careful not to hurt her. He starting running a bit, but let Saiyra keep her balance.
"Oy!" Saiyra laughed, "It's kind of hard to run in these shoes!" She pointed to her red heels with Sakura blossoms on them. Ed laughed.
Behind them, Al and Winry were trying to keep up.
"Oy! Al-kun! I can't keep up!"
"Gomenasai Winry-chan... I'll slow down."
"Domo-arigato, Al-kun." Winry smiled.
"Doitashimashte." Al smiled, then called to his nii-san, "Nii-san! We'll catch up in a bit."
Ed turned back, "Ok Al." He looked back to where he was going, "Don't worry Saiyra-san. We're almost there."
"Good." Said Saiyra, "My feet are killing me!" She complained. Ed laughed and so did she.
A Few Minutes Later
"Whew! We're here!" Ed panted.
"Are you sure?" Saiyra was also panting, "You said that about a minute ago and yet we still weren't 'here'." Ed laughed.
"Hai, this is it." Ed took Saiyra's hand and slowly walked toward the Sakura blossom tree, near the lake.
"Wow! We nearly ran all the way around the lake!" Saiyra exclaimed.
"Yeah... we don't have a boat to fit all of us so... yeah..." Ed explained.
"Oh... Doko Al-kun and Winry-chan?" Saiyra asked.
"They're probably at their special place by now. That's why we stopped earlier. Al and I went to his place more often than mine." He laughed, "But at least we're here!"
"Hai... and the view is beautiful... Arigato gozaimasu Edward-kun." Ed blushed as he sat down by the trunk of the tree. Saiyra started to sit down.
"Doitashimashte... but tomarimas!" Saiyra stood up straight. Ed took off his jacket and lay it on the ground. He motioned for Saiyra to sit.
"D-domo-arigato..." Saiyra blushed. He was being really polite. She put her head on his shoulder and poor Ed... he was blushing so much that his poor little face looked like it was going to explode. Both blushing madly, Saiyra was the first one to notice the sun slowly setting on the horizon.
"Aww... It's beautiful!" Saiyra pointed to the sunset.
"Hai..." Ed said quietly, "But don't forget, you are too." He looked at her and she looked up. Both leaning in, waiting for the other to kiss them, Al and Winry came screaming.
"NII-SAN! NII-SAN! SAIYRA-SAN!" Al called. Ed and Saiyra snapped back to reality, and Saiyra stood up.
Panting, Al cried, "Saiyra-san, Nii-san... Saiyra-san's house is on fire!" Saiyra was shocked.
"Nani tinda!" Ed got up and stood next to Saiyra. "We need to get over there fast! C'mon Saiyra-san!" Saiyra didn't move. Ed went in front of her and picked her up in a piggy-back-ride style. Al just looked at Ed as Ed ran ahead.
"Hurry Al!" Ed kept on running.
In front of Saiyra's House
"Saiyra-chan!" Hicomi called as Ed put Saiyra down carefully. Saiyra was still in so much shock that she didn't move.
"She's in shock.." Ed explained. Winry and Al looked worriedly at the burning house.
"Are Sakura-san and Takima-san alright?" The frightened Winry asked. Hicomi nodded and turned his attention back to Saiyra.
"Saiyra-chan..." He whispered as if he knew something the others didn't. Saiyra then came back from shock, and started coughing very hard. Everyone gasped and Ed stepped forward as if to comfort her. Hicomi stopped him.
"She'll be fine..." He trailed off.
"What do you mean, she'll be alright!" Ed yelled at him, "She's coughing like she's dieing!"
"She'll be fine!" Hicomi spat at him. Ed backed down and sadly looked at the ground.
Three Months Later
Ed angrily slammed his fists on the kitchen table.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN!" Ed spat at Hicomi, "WHAT DO YOU MEAN, SAIYRA-SAN'S IN THE HOSPITAL AND SHE MIGHT NOT..-..." Ed sat back down and put his hands on his face.
"Niii-san..." Al said quietly.
"Just go away... Please... Al... just go away..." Ed ran out of the house. He ran to the place where he was with Saiyra the day of the fire. Images of happy times he had with Saiyra ran through his head. Tears rolled down his face as he ran.
"It can't be... She won't... She can't..." He tried to convince himself.
--End of Prolouge--
9 Years Later
--------------------------------------
Aging: Edward - 15, Alphonse - 14, Saiyra - 15, Winry - 15
--------------------------------------
"We'd better be heading off." A short blond boy, with a braid, got up from the table. "Come on Al." He smiled at a large suit of armor that got up too.
"Sayonara Winry-chan!" Al began to head for the door.
"Sayonara Ed-kun! AL-kun!" She smiled happily. "Hope you have a good trip back to Central!"
Ed and Al got on a train that only had a few families on it. They were heading to Central. To report to Colonel Roy Mustang about what they had found out on the Philosopher's Stone. Ed was hoping that the Colonel hadn't found out about their little stop in Resembool to visit Winry. They sat down and waited for the train to take off.
But at Central... the Colonel was expecting them... There was something he wanted to be done...

A/N: Hope you enjoyed... Yes I know... it was a LONG chapter... but I had to finish the Prologue. Also I left you on a little cliffy: What happened to Saiyra after the fire? Why was Saiyra in the hospital? And why was Mustang expecting them? If you want.. you can try and answer these questions in your reviews. Also I have used a star () in this chapter. Why? So that way you will know some of the comments I would want to put there/can't or the meaning for the action or what is being done.
- Sorry Ed.. that I called you short... I know you're probably not that short... or at least how I would imagine.
Don't forget to R&R! NO FLAMES!
