Discalimer: I do not own FullMetal Alchemist...

Mushroom-sama: Sorry it took so long but I had to think of a way to answer the question, man was that hard but I came through! Without further adui Chapter 5!

What is Your Answer?

The only thing that could be heard to the three's ears was the screeching of the train wheels as it came to the final stop. The three stood up and walked out of their car in silence; there were no words that could be said at that moment. After collecting their baggage they stepped off the platform and watched the train turn around the corner into one of the many buildings for the train replacement. The silence was deafening to all of them, at that time words would have just made things worse, so no words were said. As they walked down the dirt road they passed by a few shops with people happily laughing inside. Noticing a restaurant coming up, Edward tried to lighten the mood, by saying he was starving, so they all decided to eat. That is before they would consider doing anything else in the town. It was when they were eating when Alphonse asked Amy another question.

"Why was it that you couldn't answer me? Why couldn't you answer my question?" He asked in a small voice as he looked at the table, if he could cry then he would have done that by now.

Amy looked up at him in silence then put down her fork, then taking a small sip of water she laid back in her chair. Since it was near in the evening, many people were eating enjoying their spare time and fill the restaurant with the sound of their laughter. Amy looked up at him with her sharp black coal eyes, making both brothers shiver. She just looked at both of them then turned her gaze away from them to the people around them. Alphonse didn't quiet understand, why didn't she answer? Was it that she couldn't answer him because she thought he wasn't human? Maybe it was because no matter how she told him, he still wouldn't be human to her. Alphonse bowed his head once again while thinking all these dark thoughts.

"Alphonse…look around." Amy's voice broke into his thoughts. Her voice wasn't cold, just calm. Doing as he was told Alphonse looked around at the people eating their food, talking and laughing as if they had never been sad in their entire lives. The more looked the more he began to understand the reason she wouldn't answer his question. The people around them were the answer enough, no the people around them were the answer.

"Do you see it? There are many bodies in here…but as many bodies there are there are that many souls in here too. You don't need a body to be human; you are talking about the physical necessity. Do you think they would be scared of you? Aren't you alive? Don't you laugh, cry on the inside, then move on, and think? Don't you have feelings as well? Do you not desire for something?" Amy said as she continued to look around the room of laughing people.

Edward looked at Amy weird, he was so confused, and how could someone as young as her understand all these things? She used circles to do her alchemy, so she wouldn't have the terrible knowledge of the black gates. How could she possibly understand, how did she know? Edward began to think these things as he put down his fork, he watched her with his golden eyes. Her eyes showed understanding, her facial expression showed gentleness. Edward shook his head a little before looking around himself as well, he knew what she was talking about, he had always known since that day. He smiled to himself as he watched Alphonse look around the room, he saw his brother slowly turning that metal head of his as she took in the atmosphere of the people around him.

"Alphonse as long as you can show your emotions, thoughts and actions you are alive and human. Like I said before a soul is just the amount of time someone has to live, but look at you. You are different, in that blood seal of yours is not only your soul but your own personality. You care for others, you show them compassion, and you care for your brother because you love him. Those are not just feelings, they are special. Among the people in here I say you are the most human person." Amy smiled as she turned her gaze back to Alphonse whose eyes were gleaming with happiness.

"Thank you, Amy."

Her smile was enough, it was one of those moments were words could express the feelings of a person. Spirits renewed, they all moved on from the restaurant, forgetting all the doubts they had in the beginning. As they quickly walked down the road they approached the local inn. As soon as they went inside however, there were a burst of cheers and people who rampaged Edward and Alphonse. Amy stood at the side lines with the look of shock on her face.

"Welcome back to Youswell!" They miners cried as they sat Edward and Alphonse down and opened bottles of beer. They started to talk as Amy sighed and started to talk with the chief miner to see how much a night at the inn cost. She shook her head as she watched the two brothers laughing in the crowd of miners. Turning her coal black eyes away from the crowd she closed her eyes in thought. Still doesn't change the fact they had gone through a lot in the past. After opening her eyes again she stood there for a moment listening to the laughter, it sounded so happy that it made even her smile. So she saw the head miner and walked over to him to talk about the expense of staying for the night.

"How much would it be for two rooms and four meals?" Amy asked as she was about to get out her wallet. The miner grinned as he looked at the young officer with mischief written all over his eyes.

"Two hundred…" He started to say as he watched Amy start to count her money.

"Thousand." He finished making Amy drop her wallet in surprise and look up in shock.

"Did you say Two hundred Thousand?" she asked as she picked up her wallet from the floor.

"Yes I did." The chief miner said as he watched Amy stare at him with wide eyes. It was then he started to laugh, while the once noisy crowd was now pay attention to them.

"I'm kidding, it thirty thousand sens, miss." The miner chuckled as Amy just nodded her head slowly as if not believing him. The room then erupted with laughter as Amy started to cough embarrassed while handing over the money to the head miner.

One night and morning later

"Ed, get up! I think you had enough sleep!" Alphonse threatened as he tried to drag Edward. Alphonse groaned as he grumbled about how lazy his brother was, until Edward hit him with his right hand. Amy and Alphonse had to drag a sleeping Edward it the train station as they said their good-byes to the good people who had helped them. It was a long time before Alphonse was finally able to wake Edward, who had no clue they were on a train heading to another area already. Amy who was reading a book watched both boys from behind her book with an amused look on her face.

"I'm up…can't a person get any sleep around here?" Edward growled as he got up and out of the room. Alphonse and Amy waited a few seconds before they heard stomping and the door thrown back with such force that it shook the frame just a little. There in the middle of the door was standing a very surprised Edward, pointing out the window with a shaky finger.

"Why are the trees moving!" he demanded while still pointing out the window. Alphonse coughed which sounded strangely like a laugh while Amy put down her book and looked at Edward with a smile on her face.

"Here let me help you…It's a square…you can opened it…it's called a window." Amy said very slowly as if she was speaking to a two year old child. Edward glared at her yelling that he knew that it was a window, Amy just shrugging saying he could've fooled her sarcastically. Huffing, Edward sat down the realized he didn't have any idea where they were going, so he turned to Alphonse ignoring Amy as she picked up her book and started to read once more.

"Where are we going, Al?" Edward asked as he shot Amy a look as she muttered something under her breath.

"We have to move on to Zeminitine brother…" Alphonse answered as he looked out the window. He could hear his elder brother groan to himself and then mutter something to himself about a certain taller yet younger blonde haired boy. Alphonse had a glint in his eyes as he looked at Edward, then turning to see Amy looking at him weird.

"Is there something wrong?" He asked a bit surprised as she closed her book and crossed her arms.

"Can you tell me what is so amusing, Alphonse?" Amy questioned as she looked at him with a smirking face. Alphonse thoroughly confused, looking to his brother in question. However Edward shook his head to tell him that he didn't know what she meant either. So both boys looked back at her as she smiled and started to chuckle at their confused faces.

"I didn't laugh did I brother?" Alphonse asked Edward once again shook his head.

"You were smiling." Amy answered the hanging question in the air.

"H-how did you know that!" Alphonse asked as he lean forward quickly.

"Your eyes were twinkling and they seemed like you were laughing." Amy said as she leaned in and slightly hit Alphonse on the head with her book before smirking again. Edward and Alphonse looked at each other in surprise, a person they barley knew, already knows more about Alphonse than most people do. Edward leaned back in his seat while watching the young girl in front of him. Once he thought about it, it would be an interesting journey after all. Letting his thoughts trail off, Edward looked out the window at the passing scenery of beautiful fall colored leaves.
