AN: Thank you so so so so much to my two reviewers 100MilesPerHour and Arden Anam for your reviews. You have no idea how happy I am. XD

On another note, I would like to say that I may or may not be updating tomorrow. I know for certain that I won't be able to update for the next 3-4 days after that because I won't have access to a computer :'( But don't worry, I'll update this when I get back.

Disclaimer: I don't own FMA or anything FMA related

P.S. Sorry that this chapter is so short. Anyway, I hope that you enjoy!

Chapter 5

"AL!" Mo and I both turned around, startled by Ed's sudden outburst.

"What is it?" I asked.

"Oh my, oh my god! How could I forget?" He asked, cradling his head in his hands.

"How could you forget what?" Mo asked stepping closer to him.

"Alphonse…" He whispered. My mind was blank as I tried to figure out who he was talking about. My cat wrapped herself around my legs as she purred. Then I remembered.

"You…you mean Al's here?" I asked and sat down next to him.

"Yeah, we came through the gate together. I promised him that I'd come back just as soon as I found help, but…" He paused. "But, I'm so tired. Everything's fuzzy. Please," He turned and looked me straight in the eye. "Please, you have to go get him and make sure that he's ok."

"Of course, I will Ed. Just tell me where he is and I'll go get him." I said, trying to calm him down. I looked up at Mo, who just stared down at us, seemingly in shock.

"I…I don't know where Al is." Tears were now beginning to form in the corner of his eyes. "Oh God, how could I just forget him. He must be so scared and worried. I…I promised him."

"Ed, calm down." I grabbed his hand. "Look at me. I'm gonna find him, ok? Now just tell me what you remember."

"Ok. I remember that we were… we were in a field. Well, not so much a field as we were in some wood building that was in the middle of the field. It couldn't have been that far from where you found me." My mind was running through all of the possibilities that I could think of. Then, something clicked. There was an old, abandoned barn in a field a couple of minutes from my house. In fact, it wasn't too far from where I found Ed.

"I know where you're talking about. Come on Mo, let's go." I turned and pulled Mo with me.

"Wait." I felt a metal hand grab my wrist, pulling me back. "Thank you."

"It's no problem Ed. Really."

Once we were out in the car, Mo finally broke her silence. "So…so this is real then?"

"What do you mean?" We were now nearing where Ed collapsed. In my mind I could still see him stumbling through the dark and collapsing. "Yeah, I guess that this is real. I mean both you and I can see him, so why wouldn't he be real?" I pulled over to the side of the road and parked.

"So…so, I'm really going to meet Al?"

"I guess so." We got outside of the car. The fog was still as thick as it had been earlier that night. It swirled around me as I moved through the night. Crap, I should've brought a flashlight with. However, the moonlight illuminated the path in front of me as my eyes gradually adjusted to the light.

"Wait up!" Mo called out as she ran to catch up. I led her through the fog until I reached the place. Off to my right was a crumbling barn

Now came the hard part. I slowly navigated my way through the dense growth of the wild field. Only once did I trip over a rock, but I quickly regained my footing.

"Al?" I softly called out. "Al, are you here?" I slowly pushed the door open, praying that the barn wouldn't collapse on me.

The room was plain, with old hardwood floors. The only light came from the few holes in the roof where moonlight shown through. Illuminated in the moonlight was a boy lying in the middle of a circle with diagrams running through it, most likely a transmutation circle.

I walked closer. The boy seemed to be about 14, although he was very small, like he was sick at one point and was only now starting to recover. He also looked to be shorter then an average person of his age. He had sandy blonde hair that looked like it had be cut rather messily. It could only be one person, Alphonse Elric.

"Hey Al? Al, can you hear me?" I knelt down next to him.

"Brother…" He mumbled, but otherwise didn't respond.

"Should we wake him up?" I turned around and looked at Mo. She was still standing hesitantly by the door.

"No, let him sleep." I had learned the hard way from Ed that it would be the best to just let him sleep.

"So how are we going to get him out of here?"

"I'm going to carry him out." I stated simply.

"You? No. I am." She said as she walked over to me.

"What?" I looked at her. She was staring down at Al.

"You don't have enough strength. After everything that happened tonight, I'm surprised that you're even standing. I can take him." With that she softly picked him up (and with me following me) walked out, leaving only an empty room and a transmutation circle behind.

We drove back to the house in silence. Whether we were both still in shock or whether we were just trying to wake Al, I didn't know. I prefer to think that it was the second reason. Mo carried Al up the stairs. As we passed the living room, a soft voice stopped us.

"Al?" Ed's sleepy voice called out to us.

"It's ok Ed, he's just sleeping. Now go back to sleep." I called out to him.

We walked back through my house to one of our spare rooms. Monique laid him on the bed. We both stood there watching him. My cat ran past us and leaped onto the bed. She walked up to Al, and hardly pausing, laid down on his chest.

I smiled and left the room, knowing that he would be alright.

AN: Finally Al gets into the picture!! Hope you liked this chapter. It felt a little fluffy, but after all of the drama, I think that we needed a little fluff.

Please review telling me whether you liked it, hated it (I hope not), or just to say hi. I love reviews! So thank you in advance!!
