Chapter 4: Seen
3 weeks later...
I found myself sitting quietly on the porch, watching Winry as she does her chores. Al was out, playing with the dog.
Three weeks had past, and I still did not recognize them. I still had no memories of them.
Not even a spark.
They promised they would help me find my memories...
All I had to do was wait.
But I can't. I don't want to wait any longer. As each day passes, the need to at least recognize the boy claiming to be my brother grows stronger. And hearing about it doesn't make me feel any better... all those amazing things I was told I did. It seems too unbelievable.
And Al?
What did he mean to me? Even if he claims to be my brother, what would it mean if I didn't remember everything we've been through?
He and Winry told me we've stuck together eversince Mom died...
We were always there in times of trouble...
I would sacrifice everything just to keep him safe...
Without my memories, these were just thoughtless claims. Nothing but suggestions of what I did feel about him.
I heard footsteps. Looking up, I saw Al approach me. He had a small smile on his face, and I couldn't help but wonder what it was...
"Hey Ed..." He said. "I just thought of an idea on how to get your memories back."
"How?" I asked, curious. "I'm all ears."
"Why not visit some of the places you've been to in the past? That way, I'm sure some of your memories will come up..."
"Alright." I agreed. It seemed like a good plan... maybe I needed to get out... I had no idea why, but this place hurt too much.
"When are we leaving?"
"When do you want to leave?" Al asked.
I thought about it for a moment. "Tommorow." I decided, as I stood up and went inside to pack.

"General," Lieutenant Riza Hawkeye said as she glanced up at Roy Mustang.
"What is it?" He asked, bored. Eversince the military had reformed itself, nothing much has happened. Sure, there had been some trouble here and there, but still...
"Alphonse Elric is here to see you, sir."
This alerted the General. Eversince they gave up searching for... Edward, he lost contact with the younger Elric. There was nothing to say to each other.
So why did Al come all of a sudden?
"Alright then, bring him in."
Riza nodded, staring worridly at her commanding officer, but saying nothing. Things had been quite hard on him eversince Ed disappeared...
As she left, Mustang whispered quietly to himself,
"Edward... where are you?"
He missed the blonde terribly. His expressions, his temper, his rants... but most of all, his good heart. He missed them all... everything about him.
Seconds later, Al's head poked through the door.
"General..." He said timidly, his expression suggesting he was about to reveal something important.
"What is it, Alphonse?"
"I have something to show you..."
As the door opened wider, he caught sight of a familiar blonde head... older, but still familiar...
'No...' Roy thought, eyes widening. 'Could it be...'
"Full... Fullmetal?"
