Chapter 2
Alphonse woke up to people screaming and crying, panicking and dying. The wreckage had finally ceased. Alphonse stood up in the rubble he looked around for his two best friends that he had been traveling with, one being his brother, the other being one of the girls he grow up to know so well. Al finally found Dani. She was lying there next to Ed. She was bleeding from her head and seemed to be unconcious. She seemed to be breathing, but faintly. Her pulse was irregular. Al called for help as he turned to his brother. He checked Ed's pulse, just what he was fearing, no pulse. Al checked Eds breathing. Nothing. Al began to perform CPR on his brother. After about 30 minutes, Al knew he couldn't do anything for his brother. Al sat there looking at his brother, tears began to escape his eyes. There was nothing Al could do for Ed. He turned to Dani. He stroked her check and spoke softly to her.
"Dani? Dani? Wake up, Dani. Dani please wake up." he said desperately. "Edward..Edward." was all that she said. Hot tears escaped from Al's eyes as Dani fell unconcious again.
Dani awoke, several days later, unknowing to all the events that had happened while she was unconcious. She open her eyes slowly to find that she was laying in a hospital bed. She moved her hand up to her head feeling a bandage and an awful, pounding migraine. She obsevered the room. The walls were white with some kind of floral border around the ceiling. There was a door to a bathroom to the left of her bed, a sink, a counter, and a mirror. She turned her head slightly to see her reflection. She saw the enormous bandage wrapped around her head, cuts, and bruises on her face. She looked horrible. She laid her head back on the pillow, staring at the ceiling.
A familiar face came quietly into the room. "Oh my gosh, Dani! You're awake!" the voice said. It was Al. "Nurse! Colonel! Lieutenant! Everyone! She's awake!" Al spoke up, rather loudly, face pointed to the door. She held her head while she spoke. "Damn, Al. Do you have to talk so loud? I have a freaking migraine!" she said in pain. She noticed that her left was in a cast. 'What the hell happened to me?' she thought. Just then several people came into the room. She saw Roy, Riza, Hughes, and then the nurse came in after the doctor. "Everyone out of the way!" the doctor said. "Ms. Mitchells, how are you feeling?" he asked. "Like shit." she responded, holding her head, eyes closed in pain. The doctor chuckled lightly at her. "That's to be expected." he said. "What happened?" she asked looking up at the doctor. "You were involved in a train accident on the way back to the Central Headquarters Military Base. You have a minor concussion, a broken leg and some cuts and bruises. You were lucky to get out of it the way you did. You were unconcious for a while, you scared us." "So basically, you're saying I'm going to live?" she asked. The doctor chuckled laughed again. But she could tell there was something wrong, with the look on everyone's faces.
She looked at herself again. She had all her limbs, there was nothing else, besides from how bad her face looked, that would make them act this way. Maybe Al would act this way, yeah, she just survived a train accedent on the way back to Central. She couldn't remember much. She remembered reading her magazine. And then..'Oh Crap' she thought. 'It's about Edward. It has to be.' The doctor left with a "I'll be back a little later to check on you. If you need anything push the button. The nurses will take care of it." Everyone looked at her and could tell that she was deep thought. "Dani are you okay?" came from a voice that really surprised her. Roy Mustang? The guy who practically hated her? "I don't know." Dani said, but she still didn't recall what exactly had happened a week ago. "The train de-railed." this time Al spoke. "Wow..I survived a train accident. Why aren't you hurt, Alphonse? Weren't you there, too?" Dani asked."Yeah, maybe because I was on the floor. I don't know." Al replied."Really everyone, I would feel more comfortable if everyone sat down in a chair. I don't like this 'hovering over the cripple person' business." she said, slightly agitated.
Much to her diapproval some people laughed. She thought it so great that everyone thought her funny, sitting in a hospital bed, hurting. And yet something could not get out of her mind. Where was Edward? After all, before the train crashed, he had kissed her. As soon as she feel from the compartment, she blacked out. That was the last thing she could remember. "Hughes?" asked Lieutenant Hawkeye, entering the room. "Yes, Hawkeye?" replied Hughes. "Gracia called and left a messageto tell you that she needs you at home." said Riza. "I'm sorry, Dani, that I have to go so quickly." Maes said."It's okay Maes. If you see Edward? Tell him that I'm awake and that...no, that's it, tell him that I'm awake and that I'm asking for him." said Dani. Maes looked at her. Dani could see something behind his eyes. Maes looked at Roy and Al, who had silent tears coming down their faces. Roy nodded and Maes spoke again. "I'll tell him for you, Dani." said Maes, with sadness in his voice. Dani didn't realize it until after he had left the room. "So, Da..I mean Mitchells. You are gaining an honorable disharge from the military. But, there is something we all need to tell you." Roy finally spoke up. "Yes?" she asked. Roy looked to Riza and Al. They all didn't know how to tell her. Riza spoke up. "Major Mitchells we regret to inform you that Edward.." Roy started. "..that Edward..?" Dani said, raising her eyebrow. "Dani, he didn't make it." Roy finished. "What do you mean he didn't make it?" Dani yelled. "He died in the accident. I'm so sorry. I know how close to Ed you and Al were, hell all of us were close to the little pip-squeak." Roy said, sadly. "Don't call him a pip-squeak." Dani said softly and sadly. Al started to cry silently. In fact there were tears in everybody's eyes, including Dani's. She knew he was gone, or he would've been by her side.
"When's the funeral?" Dani asked Maes. Maes had been her 'run-to' guy the past few days. The end of her story had finally come, or at least as far as she could tell. "It was last Wednesday, when we all thought you wouldn't make it." Maes spoke softly, truthfully. 'Oh great, I didn't even get to see his funeral.' Dani thought to herself and turned her head to the window, the sun was setting.'Fun. This is going to be a long night.' she thought as she watched daylight slowly turn to night time.
