GRAMMERS NOTE: NO SPEEL CHECK!

Teh Queen: oooo, answers d ohkay, I'm not excited, my 'answers' as such aren't very good, but this is what I came up with, you can like it and say so, or hate it and flame it, I don't care.

Teh Slave:You'd cry if you got flamed.

Teh Queen: As long as they suggest in some way I can improve my writing, then I don't care. Especially with this chapter cause it's really bad.

Fel curled herself in a ball on the edge of the bed, Ed sat next to her and wrapped his arm lovingly around her shoulder.

"Fel, you don't have to tell me, you don't even have to finish this trip if you don't want to, but I would really like you to, because I need you to be safe, and you can't make chimera's here, so it was obviously brought from my home world, I need to know what the connection is Fel, but if it's something I'm not meant to know, don't feel pressured for it, alright?" Ed said reassuringly, but also desperately. there was a connection home, and it wasn't space travel.

"Ed." Fel took his left hand and held it tightly, small tears falling down her cheeks. "I know about you're home world, because I guess I could say, I was kind of in it, but not quite. I met your father in this place. It was dark, and I was so alone and trapped until your father helped me, he called it 'the gate'." Fel looked at her toes, still holding Ed's hand tightly.

Ed was in a short state of disbelief. How, and why?

-Can people from this world get stuck inside the gate too?-

"Look, Ed, these have been the happiest day's of my life, and although I haven't known you for that long, I feel like it's been a lifetime, but if you don't want to travel with me, it's alright." Fel was shaking her head, still staring at her toes.

"Why wouldn't I? You're probably the only one I've made an effort to get to know since I've come here, you know why? Because I care about you!" Ed took Fel's shoulders and made her look him in the eye, she looked so lonely.

"Ed, I'm the direct link to the gate, while your father was in there, I managed to call out to him, he helped rebuild me and bring me through the gate too, but some of me got left behind, making me the link, that's how I brought the chimera here, it must have been inside the gate when I touched..." Fel trailed off and pulled her blue eyes away from Ed's golden ones.

"Touched what Fel?" Ed said sternly but understanding

One of Fel's hand's reached in a day dream soft of way to her shoulder and gathered a handful of fabric from her pajamas. Ed undid the top button of her top and slid the shoulder off. There were many small dots, pitch black, just larger than freckles, like miniature universes dotted on Fel's shoulder.

Ed turned her around worried and lifted up the bottom half of her top, seeing her lower back. The dots were much larger, they all seemed like bottomless pits. He reached for one.

"Don't touch them Ed, if me touching one pulled through a chimera, imagine what and alchemist like yourself would do?" Fel whimpered.

"Does it work both ways, could you make someone from here go there?" Ed asked, he might have found an answer.

"If they knew what they were doing, maybe, but I would probably be pulled back into the gate if you did. Each time something gets passed through, I lose a little bit more of myself, transporting an actual human, I'd be lucky to be a floating soul." Fel still wouldn't face him. "But you really need to go back, you're brother is probably really worried about you, and missing you alot." Fel smiled, thinking about how nice it would be to have family again. Ed couldn't believe what he was hearing.

"I couldn't. I could never trade you're life for my benefit. We'll find another way, that's why I made this mission for myself, a life for a life has never been enough Fel, if you knew anything about my world, you would know that." Ed wanted to be home badly, but not badly enough to sacrifice someone, especially not Fel.

"What about a life that's already gone then Ed? how could you possibly want to protect someone like me?"

Ed was getting more annoyed by Fel's failure to see her life was worth something by the second.

"What do you mean gone, you're sitting me here in front of me."

"How do think I got into the gate then Ed? I was killed in World War I, and instead of being passed through as energy for your alchemy I hovered there until your Hoenhiem set me free. I shouldn't be alive Ed, you're talking to a corpse practically."

"Damnit Fel, you're being as stubborn and blinded as that bastard Mustang." Ed muttered, still slightly annoyed. He held Fel's chin up so she was looking him in the eye, he wouldn't let her look away. "If... if I'm in love with a corpse then so be it."

Ed pecked Fel softly on the lips before standing up.

"Ed, I'm sorry."

"Get some sleep Fel, we have to travel tomorrow remember?" Ed made his way back to the sofa.

"Ed, would you mind sleeping with me tonight? I don't feel like being alone." Fel muttered softly.

Ed silently turned around and climbed into the double bed, Fel lay down behind him and put her arms around his neck, her face buried between his shoulder blades.

They spent the rest of the night like this.

Teh Queen: TT man that was bad. If you read it, I'm really sorry, if you actually liked past chapters, then I'm even more sorry. Just see this as one giant apology.

Teh Slave: You should be sorry, you've turned my brain to mush with that mush!

Teh Queen: 1, your brain was already like that, 2, although I don't really expect it, if you did read it, hate or no, please review!

Teh Slave: You already know what I think of it.
