Al closed his eyes; everything…was getting too much for him. Pride walked out, he was worried slightly, but his eyes didn't show it they were motionless and no feeling could be seen in them. Pride walked over to al and sat down next to him "where…is it hurting…?" he said quietly. Al sighed and put his hand on his head.

Pride looked at al "you…want your brother back…?" he said quietly. Al nodded slightly, but he knew it wasn't just going to happen like magic. Pride sighed "I don't want to be here…so I'll help you…" he said, al looked up, tears almost forming in his eyes "you…can use my philosophers stone…" he said. Al shook his head.

Pride just sighed "it's the only way to get your brother back…right…?" he said. Al sighed and stayed quiet. Pride picked up a stick and started to draw a transmutation circle.

Al just leaned into the tree, he knew there was no time like the present to get this done…but…what if…he stopped for a moment what if the same thing happens with what happened to there mom…failing…yet another human transmutation…he knew he would have a philosophers stone…but what if he wasn't strong enough…he'd be letting everyone down…and…there would be no way of bringing ed back after that…he sighed…he had to do this!

Pride finished the circle and slowly put his hand down his throat, retrieving the philosophers stone, he wiped the blood of it handed it too al, he smiled slightly and stood in the middle of the circle and nodded telling al he was ready.

Al walked up slowly the philosophers stone in his hand, he was scared but he stood strong, he knelt down onto the floor and placed both of his hands onto the transmutation circle, the philosophers stone glowing and the circle glowing brightly…

Al kept his hands on the transmutation circle he was using all his energy up for this, he felt faint but he couldn't pass out!

Pride was in the circle…he knew it needed more energy, he fell to his knees and clapped his hands and pressed them on the ground…he kept thinking 'c'mon…al you can do it' he said, finally passing out…

Would…this work…? Would Ed come back or will it result in al never seeing Ed again…
