Ok here is chapter 6. I am sorry there has been no update for a week but I have been on vacation, but this chapter should make up for lost time I hope. Also to it has been brought to my attention that many people think that Al is in his 10 year old body and that this story takes place after episode 51.
That is not the case. In my fan fiction Al is in his 16 year old body, but Ed still has auto mail. Episode 51 happened, but both of them were sent to the other side of the gate.

During the next few days, Ed didn't bring up the subject about the strange boy again. In fact he had almost completely forgotten about the boy, but for some reason could not forget all the way.
"Ed." Winry called coming back into the room, getting his attention. He looked at her puzzled. "The doctor said you can leave the hospital tomorrow!" she said happily. Normally he would have been happy to the thought of leaving the hospital, but he remained silent.
"Are you alright?" she asked as he looked at her, forcing a smile. "Yeah can't wait to get out of here." He replied. The truth was he didn't know what to do or say. Time and time again he wanted to ask about the boy, but couldn't bring himself to ask.

A week later back in Rezenbool life had almost gone back to normal. Winry had fixed Ed's auto mail and they were both set to have free time. During the week he had also resigned from the military, saying he had no reason to be a dog under Mustang any longer. It was the life that Winry and he had always wanted.
"Hey Ed. What are you doing?" Said Winry coming behind him. He had been lost in thought again. It was something that he had been doing a lot lately. So many questions were running through his mind. He could remember going to the other world, but for what reason? He knew he was in the military, but why? How was he even able to come back after not being able to do alchemy in the other world?
Winry looked worried at him. "Ed?" she asked, this time catching his attention.
He looked at her with a smile. "Hey there Winry! Sorry didn't hear you coming." He apologized as she nodded.
'It's ok, but what were you thinking about. These last few days you have been acting more weird as usual. What is going on?" she asked as he quickly tried to find an excuse.
"I was just uhh…. thinking about how much I love being back and about all the things I am able to do now. Like spend more time with you and granny. I can now try to put my life back together." He replied as she smiled happily.
"Edward you never cease to amaze me. You leave time and time again going on military missions for a reason you could never seem to tell me. Then you disappear off the face of the planet after you say you died. Now you come back and expect everything to just go back to the way it was?' she said, Ed nodding. "Sounds about right." He replied turning back to her.
"But there is something else Win. I have been thinking of something. It is about this strange boy who I remember I know him from somewhere, but I am not sure as to where. He looks a lot like me, except looks younger and for some reason I think he used to play games with us when we were younger. Do you have any clue on who it may be?" Ed asked. Winry shook her head. "We played games with so many people. I can't remember them all, but I am sure if you think hard enough or find something to trigger your memories, you will figure it out." She inquired as he nodded.
"Yeah I guess you are right. Well if you don't mind I am going to go take a nap. See you later." He said heading back inside the house and back up to his room.
Winry sat on the steps of the porch, looking at the setting sun. "So he has been having the same memories as well. Here I thought I was going crazy. Who was that strange boy? Why do I know him from somewhere? Why does he call Ed brother?" she thought to herself.
She laughed a little at the thought. At least she could say she wasn't crazy, but then that means there was someone they had forgotten. She had tried to think of any person it may be, but all names came up negative.
