All right... here's a (late) Christmas present to you all: An update! I hope you'll like it... I'm having difficulty writing what happens next to Ed, I didn't want to forget about Winry and Roy was left out for the past few chapters... so here!
No, I'm not done revising everything... must redo Roy's POV and the rest of the succeeding chapters before eight.
Disclaimer: I don't own FMA.

Chapter 9: Thoughts
Winry Rockbell dropped the tools she was carrying, her sky blue eyes wide with shock.
She had felt it again, just now... that strange feeling she would always feel whenever the Elrics were in trouble. She even had a name for it- The Elric telepathy.
She slumped into her chair, breathing heavily as she tried to pull herself together. She was familiar with this feeling, yet she could not help but feel shocked. It has been, after all, more than four years since she felt this way.
'I hope they're alright...' she pleaded in her mind. 'Please let them be alright... especially Edward, he doesn't know what's going on...'
Winry knew she shouldn't be so worked up on the Elrics' affairs. But she couldn't help it... she loved them both like brothers. Maybe even more, in Ed's case...
She shook her head, dismissing the thought. It was hopeless to try and love Edward... even when the blonde had his memory, he showed no signs of having the same affections for her. She was a sister to him, and Winry was content with that.
Still...
Letting out a sigh, she proceeded to pick up the tools she dropped. Ever since Pinako died, Winry was left to care for the automail business herself. Alphonse would help occasionally, though now that he wasn't here...
The phone rang just then, causing Winry to drop her tools in shock once more. Crying out in frustration, she stomped over to the small ringing device while leaving her tools on the floor. It was times like this she despised technology, something that was unusual in her case.
"Hello, Rockbell residence," she greeted as she answered the phone.
Moments later, she dropped the receiver. It clattered on the wooden floor, yet she made no notice of it. Her eyes were wide with shock and fear as she slumped to the ground, shivering.
'Ed's insides are decaying?!' she cried frantically in her mind. 'Please let him be alright...'
Why did something terrible always happen to the people she cared about?

The moment he opened his eyes, Roy knew he had slept too long.
Groaning, he sat up and observed his surroundings. It was late at night, the only light source coming from the fluorescent light bulbs above him.
'What a long day...' he thought, standing up and stretching. 'Things haven't been this eventful in four years.'
He wasn't used to this anymore... having to feel so worried for the Elrics' sake. Yet even if they weren't children anymore, he still couldn't help but feel this way...
Children... he felt like that was the wrong word to describe Ed and Al. They haven't been kids for years... they gave up their childhood when they made the decision to restore their bodies. Even when Edward would sometimes act childish, Roy knew that it was all just an act. Ed was more mature than that...
He wished Ed would finally remember who he was.
Letting out a sigh, he decided it was time to leave. As he walked away, however, he suddenly heard noises coming out from Edward's room.
Curiosity and worry caused Roy to lean closer to the door and listen. He heard sounds of fighting at the other side of the room. And there was a voice, neither Ed nor Al's...
He couldn't hold it anymore. Opening the door slowly, he peaked through the door.
What the hell was going on?!

Yeah, so now Mustang's involved in the action. Say yay, people... the action will finally return next chapter!
Also, I just realized... 'Rememberance' is almost about to end. Probably in three or four chapters, since I already have an idea on how to end it... and yes, I know its spelt wrong. At least it gives the fic some originality...
I will still be rewriting some of the previous chapters though...
Please review!
