1A/N: Hey guys it's the author~
How do you like it so far? I've been getting reviews from the same person telling me to make chapters. XD You're lucky you have her. At any rate: I hope you enjoy this next-day chapter.
Forever I Am Yours Chapter 3
I stuck with Ed the entire time we were in Central, following him around like a lost puppy. Finally, after the longest time in Central, we went to Lior to keep looking for the Philosopher's Stone. Brother said as soon as he could see my face again, he'd give me a treat. I couldn't wait.
When we got to Lior, brother and I were thirsty. See, the train stops a few miles away from Lior, where there is still population. It won't drive through the desert, apparently that's not how it works. I kept, as I said, sinking and brother hated it because he was the victim when I got out.
Of course, he said he loved me three times before I told him I got what he meant... it's crazy. He doesn't realize how repetitive he can get.
Brother was thirsty by the time we got to Lior, parched, whatever you want to call it. By the time we got there, his tongue was as dry as a bone, so the moment he heard what he thought was water, he ran. I followed him just as fast, and he almost fell into a fountain of what looked like red water. "Brother?" I asked quietly, and he held up his hand, looking confused at the water. "You kids back off from that! Your too young!" A man yelled to us from his bar a few feet away. I looked over curiously and saw a man cleaning a glass, Ed turned as well and frowned. "Got anything human to drink then, man?" He asked and I sighed at his rudeness. "Yeah... for kids your age, milk, water and orange juice." Ed asked for orange juice and as the man filled a glass of it, I heard him mumble quietly enough to where brother didn't hear, "Short kid should have picked milk... it's known to help growth spurts."
Ed slurped his orange juice while he was interviewed by the man. He seemed to get more and more annoyed by the millisecond and finally was pissed off enough to yell, "What am I a clown to you!?" I felt a snicker but held back, for fear of Ed's wrath, when a lady spoke to him calmly. It was weird, how fast we were meeting people around here. They had a talk, Ed through a toddler's temper tantrum and I broke a radio. Smooth, huh? Finally, we met a girl named Rose, who showed us to this man, Father Cornello or something, who talked to us about the so-called miracles he performed for the people of Lior.
Of course, Ed doesn't believe it, so I follow him to trouble... again.
Ed insisted we go to one of these "Miracle Gatherings" or whatever Rose called them. Where he brought birds and such back to life, gave life to inanimate objects and gave a monotonous speech on what he thought he was doing. Apparently, according to Rose; he'd be bringing back her dead boyfriend if she was good. "What is she a slave?" I asked Ed that night, but all he did was shrug. He had no idea and if neither of us did, I bet she didn't know what she was doing either. We were going to have to tell her.
A/N: You may have noticed I'm making a run-through. Forgive me. I have a bad habit of that. You know the real reason why? This is the only episode I'm going to write out. Soon, they're going to be thrown ahead in time and you get to see what really goes on behind closed doors. Thank you and keep reading.
I heard brother was planning a meet-up with Rose in the temple, or whatever he called it, so I just hung out in the room we stayed at, reading or running errands for people. There wasn't much to do in this town but give, give, give. When I saw brother again, it was mid-afternoon and he wanted me to meet him at the very same temple he'd met Rose at that morning. So I followed his... as he called them... orders, and met up with him and Rose by the door. Rose looked frustrated, so I heard the story from both of them, in very mixed up insulting ways. The only thing that was the same in their stories was: "I told her that if she gets too close to the sun, it'll burn her," and, "he said if I got too close to the sun, it'd burn me." I tried, on Ed's side, to convince her Cornello was wrong with what he'd done to her mind, but she broke down and ran.
"Are we going to chase her?" I asked Ed quietly, and he sighed, running off after her. I took that as a yes and followed her as well. Cornello stood in a wide, empty room with Rose by his side, when we finally found her. Her head was hung, and Cornello was smiling an annoying smile that made me want to punch him. He was a thief of trust, and a liar. Not only that, but he truly had no idea what he was doing to this town. Causing them to believe that people can trespass God's land like that. What a horrible person. Brother and I had tried, believe me, this is what happened. And unless he wants either half of a body of metal, or a whole armor for his body, he'd best leave the territory. Back down a few steps and tell about God rather than making 'miracles.'
After a horrible fight scene, my (very cute) brother was left shirtless and pissed off, while I was left semi buried... again. Rose had fled the scene, once again, because she 'couldn't handle it' or whatever she had said. And Cornello had been defeated. He discovered (a bit late) that brother could do alchemy without a circle and that we had done the very same thing he was telling Rose he would do for her boyfriend, and we'd ended up like this. I think that changed his mind.
"It's too weird." I remember brother saying, as we headed off to a more normalized place, where there wouldn't be bald men with an ego the size of the universe.
A/N: Thanks so much for reading it, and possibly not hating it. Leave reviews! What should I change? How should I enter their new state of mind. (Al's body, Ed's semi-body, their new viewpoint on the world.) I know in the movie (SPOILERS DON'T READ AHEAD!------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
they both ended up in Germany together, looking back on what used to be their life. But, I'm skipping that and making them together in Risembool. UNLESS YOU WANT THEM IN GERMANY. Say so. : ) Love you guys for reading. If you read it; MAKE A REVIEW! Or try. Thanks!
