Disclaimer: Nothing owned but the idea for this story
An: I want to get off the subject of the bomb a.s.a.p. so I shall. This is the last chapter you'll hear of it.
July 5th 1924
From Bordeaux to Lyons
Another Train ride…. Weren't we just on one?
Regardless we have made significant progress! I shouldn't be making petty complaints. Our next stop is at a University
July 6th 1924
Lyons
We arrived at Noon, on a rainy day. Adelaide seemed to know one of the professors at the University. It took an hour from start to finish. But we got their attention, and they've considered our suggestion. It is apparent we are not alone in our opinions. There have been may others who have thought the same. Ed was surprised as well, but still relieved. There is nothing we can do to make the bomb leave. All we can do is soften the blow. But we've succeeded even so. I feel we have succeeded anyway.

Lyons
Ed's been really fidgety lately. It was beginning to drive me nuts. I didn't know what is making him more nervous; either the results of the quest or Adelaide herself. At least not till He asked me yesterday, if I had any suits he could borrow. I raised an eyebrow at the request but simply said that even if I did, chances were good they wouldn't fit him. I knew better than to say why.
"Right then were going shopping"
"Ed?"
"Yeah, what?'
"Are you feeling ok?"
"Yeah why do you ask?"
"You hate shopping"
I half expected him to transform into a skinny homunculus with hair resembling a palm tree.
"Well, something's come up and I need something nice for it."
"What's the occasion?"
"I'm going out to dinner with Adelaide."
I think my jaw must have dropped or something, because this time Ed was the one to raise an eyebrow.
"What's the face for? You're coming too; you and Noa."
"What. Is. The. O-ca-ssion!!?"
"Oh I don't know a pat on the back for success?"
"Since when do you do that?"
"Since now. Come on!"
"Alright…what about Adelaide and Noa?"
"They went earlier. I said we'd meet up with them for lunch."
"Who are you and what have you done with my brother?"
"Oh shut up"
