Chapter 6

Several days later Dani was awake and eating the breakfast that they served in the infirmary. Today was her last day here and then she was to start a week long therapy with Ed and Winry to get used to her auto mail leg. Dani finished her breakfast and she looked at Edward who seemed to be looking out of the window. Outside it seemed cloudy, kind of gloomy.

"I hope that's not a sign of the day to come." Dani said. Edward seemed deep in thought and a simple "Hmm." was his response.

"Hello? Edward? Earth to Edward. The aliens didn't take you away did they?" Dani asked. Edward looked at her and smiled.

"Just thinking.." Edward said. "Hey, I'll be right back. Anything that you want me to get you from the gift shop or the cafeteria?" he asked.

"No but come here, I want to give you something." she said. He walked over to her bedside and she raised up, kissing him softly on the lips.

"I love you Edward." she said and smiled. Edward blushed a little and smiled.

"Oh, and yeah, can you get me some orange sherbet?" she said. Edward replied with a long, sweet, kiss. Their lips parted and Edward shut the door and the curtain in front of the door and joined Dani in her bed. Orange sherbet was the last thing on their minds as they continued to express their love for each other in long, passionate kisses. Dani cuddled up next to Edward as he protectively wrapped his arms around her.

"I love you, Dani." he said, looking down at her in his arms. She raised her head to his gaze.

"Please be my wife, Dani?" he asked, fumbling something out of his pocket and placing a ring on her finger.

"Forever and always, Edward. I love you." she answered. They kissed and Dani cuddled into the protective hold Edward had on Dani.

"I love you too, Dani." Edward said as they laid their heads back on the pillows and fell asleep.

The next day Edward woke, the same position as he had when he fell asleep.

"You two are just the cutest together." Winry said, entering the room. Edward looked at her and back at the sleeping Dani.

"She said yes, Winry." Edward said, stroking Dani's cheek.

"You thought she wouldn't?" Winry asked, raising an eyebrow.

"No, I just- I don't know." Edward said. Dani began to stir and she woke up and gave Edward a kiss. She looked down at her ring and held it up for Winry to see.

"Congrats, Dani." she said, smiling. "Why don't we get you up so you can try to walk."

Edward got out of the bed and held his hand out for Dani. She swung her two legs to the edge of the bed and hopped down. She stumbled a little bit but before no time she was up and walking. Edward smiled at her as she walked around the room.

"Edward, I can walk!" Dani said excitedly. She was still fumbling around a bit due to the weakness in her right leg.

"Yeah, I guess so." Edward said sitting on the bed and watching her. Winry sat beside him.

"So, what's the plan?" Winry asked. They both looked at Dani walking back and forth in the room.

"To get her the hell away as far as possible before King Bradley can arrest her. That bastard isn't fucking up my family." Edward said.

"You suppose Roy is going to try to arrest her?" Winry asked. Edward laughed.

"The bastard is actually afraid of her. Dani has increased her powers. Hell, she brought me back. Plus, the prophecy, he needs us both to fulfill it and keep from the new Uprising from taking over. She's too valuable to him for him to arrest her. Plus I understand that they've become friends." Edward said. Dani had joined them on the bed.

"Edward, the Uprising is a hell of a group. I'm afraid...I'm afraid that even the Homunculi have sided with them." she said.

"What? How do you know this." Edward asked.

"I have my resources. Edward, that person that I- yeah- to make the Philosopher's Stone. I..I..Back then I didn't have any time to think, but now..." Dani started.

"..You regret it?" Edward asked, looking at her.

"Edward, I don't regret bringing you back. I regret killing the man." Dani said, looking down. In just a matter of minutes Dani went from excited and happy to depressed and regretful. Edward put his arms around her.

"Shh, Dani. It's okay. It's okay." Edward said, comforting her.

"No it's not Edward. It was a terrible thing that I did." Dani said.

"I know. But we really don't need to talk about it any more here. Okay?" Edward said. Dani nodded and Winry patted her on the back.

"Gah, what would I do without you guys?" Dani said.

"What you did when you became solitary from the world." Winry said. Dani stared at the ground. Edward was clueless. There was an uneasy silence.

"Wha?" Edward said. Winry shook her head at him as to say 'Don't ask.' And he didn't. He just put his arms around Dani and held her.

Several days and an anxious train ride later, Edward and Dani were in the backyard of the Rockbell Automail Shop. Winry thought it would be a bit easier helping Dani from their own home.

Edward was helping Dani train with her lightning alchemy, she would have to be careful not to shock herself.

"Great Dani! Do that again!" Edward said, "But towards the rock this time."

Winry chuckled at him. Edward had been struck with lightning twice in a row. This didn't say that Dani wasn't bad at aiming, it just said that she was a little preoccupied in trying not to shock herself.

"You'll be fine. Rubber boots, it's all good!" Winry yelled out to Dani. In fact, Dani had bought a lightning resistent coat for protection, but it stayed in the back of her mind.

"You did a great job on this auto-mail, Winry! It feels like I have my old leg back." Dani said.

"Dani, focus! Again!" Edward yelled. Dani clapped her hands together and put her hands on the ground, sending a jolt of lightning towards Edward. Edward jumped to the side just in time.

"What the hell Dani?" Edward yelled, and continued to yell. Dani just smirked at him and that said it all. Dani sent a lightning bolt towards the designated rock. Edward looked at it in astonishment. He knew she was good, just not that good. Winry just smiled. She wasn't new to Dani's powers.

Edward noticed as Dani yawned. Even Winry looked a bit tired.

"Howabout we call it a day?" Edward said, walking over to Dani. He put his arms around her and smiled at her.

"Okay, but just as long as I get to do this.." said Dani, completing her sentence with a long kiss for Edward. Edward smiled at her and followedher into the house to see what Pinako had cooked up for dinner. Dani stayed behind and watched the sun finish setting behind the trees and hills until it was twilight, something that she made a tradition before going inside for dinner. She smiled at the first stars and closed her eyes and made a wish before getting up and going inside.
