Warning for some FMA spoilers of the manga.
Heero's dreams had become much worse since two nights ago when Duo had first been kidnapped by the giant creature everyone calls 'Gluttony'. There were two more of the creatures that looked a little more human than Gluttony, but one of them seemed mentally disturbed while the woman just didn't seem too interested in Duo or what they apparently planned for him.
Along with that, Heero finally remembered what the blonde's name was from his dreams. Even though he seemed to dream so much of the blonde, whenever he had tried to recall what his name was it always was impossible to remember. Edward was not a common name of his time, but he remembered how popular of a name it once had been.
Heero sat up in bed and looked over at the clock that was lit up by the moonlight. It was only midnight and yet Heero didn't feel like he could sleep for the rest of the night. After seeing how Duo looked while boarding that train in his dream, he felt like it was his fault he couldn't protect him.
"Where are you…?" Heero started walking towards the bedroom door and suddenly stopped. He had recalled Quatre once mentioning how he read a book with two lovers who had once been separated by time. He had told Heero how one lover had taken something from the future when he was accidentally sent to the past, and that connected the two even if they were separated by time travel.
He rummaged through his things and found the small sticker that Duo had been given when he first passed his driver's test under a false name. Heero moved that to the side and then finally found one of the two gold crosses Duo owned. This was one thing he would never lose and Heero knew it.
He brought it back to the bed with him and sat there as if expecting something extraordinary to happen just by him staring at it. Even if he didn't understand how this worked now, Heero decided to wear it and hoped that he would figure it out soon. How hard could it be to figure out how to reach his own lover?
Then Heero stopped and thought back to the many times in his dreams that Duo had told the boy Edward he loved him… And now he was even falling for the blonde here in this world… Were they even lovers anymore?
"Of course we are… Just because Quatre and I…" He clutched his head as he tried to sort out the whole ordeal in his head, but found himself incapable of doing so. "I'll ask Wufei or Quatre… I have to tell them about my dreams soon anyway…"
As Heero concluded that, he felt so exhausted suddenly and didn't feel able to stay awake for much longer. While he drifted off to sleep the thought that haunted him forced nightmares that had nothing to do with Duo or Edward; now he was losing contact with them.

Duo reluctantly sat down in the seat and all he did was glare at the cat that was lying on the seat across from him. They got their own private car, so Envy decided to change back to his palm-tree-like form.
"Don't glare at me it's your own fault for getting mixed up with us. If you had only stayed away from the military, then this wouldn't have happened." Envy smirked as he saw Duo's eyes narrowed in either the frustration of not being able to do anything to any of the homunculi or just because he was beginning to despise Envy more and more.
"I didn't have a choice, so don't talk to me as if I wanted to end up here in the first place!" Duo's pent up anger was finally being released and was thankful that Edward wasn't around to hear it.
"So in other words you don't really love the Fullmetal Pipsqueak?"
"No! I don't! I love Heero Yuy, but I got stuck here because I was trying to save those people and then wound up here." Duo felt like punching Envy to stop him from smirking at him as if he was better than him. "Stop grinning at me like that! WHY WON'T YOU ALL JUST LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE!"
Envy leaned forward until he was barely an inch from Duo's flushed face, "So should I tell Edward you said that? Or should I wait until you become a homunculus, so you can tell him yourself?"
Duo stopped and stared at Envy as he felt some blood trickle from the cut on his face. He saw Envy holding something small and red in his hand a little bit away from his face.
"See you later Duo, because it just so happens there's room for a new Greed… And I guess we're going to see if you'll be able to handle it."
The whole world went black and all Duo could feel was an immense pain. He screamed out while trying to make sense of what was happening to him. None of it was making sense until he finally arrived in front of the face of a large creature.
All he knew he was doing was giving himself up to this creature, hoping the pain would disappear.

Ed and Al had boarded a train that was supposedly going to the same destination as the one the homunculi had boarded earlier. They were out in the country where hardly anyone lived when he suddenly had a strange feeling.
"What's wrong brother?" Al asked, genuinely worried.
"Nothing really, but I have the strangest feeling that I've forgotten something…"

Winry tapped her foot impatiently before Riza finally came out and noticed her. She waited to see if Winry would explain herself, but then was forced to ask, "What are you doing here?"
"I've been waiting for Ed to come and meet me." Her blue eyes were showing signs that she wasn't far off from flying off the handle at any moment.
"I'm sorry to say Ms. Rockbell, but Edward has left on a mission already. I thought somebody had already told you."
Winry tried to put on a smile as she slowly shook her head, but Riza could see through it and knew she was positively pissed.
Sorry if the chapter isn't great, but I did try really hard on it! And not to mention, I remembered that Winry had appeared a few chapters ago and she should start making her way into the story more often now. Hope you enjoyed!
Please R & R!
