CHAPTER 5 Yay! The only reason that I'm gonna keep going with this story is because of all the great reviews. Thanks guys. You all know how to hit my soft spot. -giggle-. Where were we... Oh yeah...
Ed had tears running down his cheeks... he was crying. Winry was in shock! The only time that she had seen Ed cry was when he had his auto mail done.
"Ed...ward?" Winry was worried. She leaned over and grabbed Eds' chin.
"Are you mad at me, I mean for marrying your brother?"
"Why should I be mad at you?"
-Sigh- "I made no efforts to go looking for you. When you disappeared the only person that went looking was Al. I don't even think the military went looking. Oh and Roy... sorry to disappoint you but Riza she never..."
"I know. She never looked," Roy responded in disappointment.
"That's NOT what I was going to say. I WAS going to say that she never stopped looking for you."
-WHAT?-
Well this conversation went on for a while until Al came back from the library.
"Shesh, you would think that the idiots that I hired could do all they say they can do, but NO. I've gotta do everything myself." When Al got in the room he looked surprised. "Oh sorry, I thought that you guys would of already been gone."
"Well were not. I guess you have wishful thinking Al," and of course Ed had to butt in as usual, "I have a question that I want answered right this minute Al."
"Okay..."
"Why in the hell, are you young and not old like everyone else?"
"Dear, dear brother Edward. How can I make this easy on you."
"Just say it you bastard!"
"I agree with Edward," Roy said in a very stern voice.
"Okay, well the reason why Winry and I are so young is that..."
Al seemed to be hesitating with what he was going to say.
-sigh- "Winry and I made the philosophers about a year after you guys disappeared. That's the reason why we look younger than what we should."
"Well do you still have it?" Edward questioned.
"Yes, but the location is a mystery. We don't even know where it is at this point."
"Roy, are you thinking what I'm thinking?"
"Maybe. Are you thinking about finding the philosophers stone and using the power of the stone to get us back home to our own time?"
Ed seemed to be surprised at Roy for some reason.
"Very good Roy I think you can actually read my mind now. Hehe."
Al was furious. "You are NOT going to go look for the stone. If any one is going to go look for it, it should be me. Winry and I need it more than you guys need it."
"What the hell do you mean by that."
Al pulled up the sleeve to his uniform and showed that the body that he had was starting to decay.
-humph- "If you knew me well enough then you would know that I don't give a damn that your body is decaying. All that we need is to get back home to our own time, and if we do that then none of this will exist."
"Fine Edward if it is that important to you then I'll tell you where we heard it was last spotted."
"That would be great," Ed yelled acting like Roy wasn't even there.
"Winry get me log book."
As Winry went to go get the log book Al opened a box full of clothes.
"What the hell is this?"
"It's clothes for you and Roy to wear on your journey. I mean you don't want people to stare. It's bad enough that you have auto mail."
"I guess you have a point there," Roy said as he looked down at Eds' auto mail.
Well, the whole time that Winry was looking for the log book Ed and Roy were picking out some clothes from the box.
A very faint thank you slipped out of Edwards mouth. Al just smiled.
Ed and Roy went down the hall and went in a room to change into their new clothes.
When Edward walked out the door he was still wearing the leather pants that he had on earlier but he changed shirts. He was now wearing a white collared shirt with long sleeves. The shirt seemed to be too big for the little man so it was very baggy.
Roy was a different story he changed completely. He was now wearing khaki pants and also a white shirt with long sleeves just like Ed, but in his case the shirt was just the right size.
When Roy saw Edward he had something to say, like he always does.
"Hehe, look at the little man in the big shirt. If you think that makes you look any taller, than you need to find another one that will."
"Who are you calling short you old man. You need to go and get a make-over. Hehehehe..."
Edward died laughing, but when he got back to the Fuhrers room he was all about business.
"Okay, the log book shows the the last known place of the philosophers stone was in Ishbal. You guys should know exactly where that is."
"Yeah we do, and if you don't mind Al we would like to be on our way."
"Kay, just let me warn you that some people don't obey the law that I enforce. Some still try human transmutations and fail so you may run into some Homunculus that are very familiar. Some say that Gluttony, and Envy still run around there. I'm just telling you to be careful."
"We will, but for now we need to be on our way."
"You may wanna catch the train there. There's one leaving in about 30min. so you better hurry."
"Well thanks for the help Alphonse," Roy said with a salute.
(I hope there journey to Ishbal gets them back to there own time). Al was thinking.
Ed and Roy walked out the door of the office, and was now walking down the steps of Central. Waving back at Al and Winry, Roy and Edward were on their way to Ishbal.
