The worst part about being a superstar was, invitably, the fans.

They felt like the knew, and understood him; they didn't, and never would.

They didn't lose their other half, and have to piece their life back together.

He knew that he was grasping ay strands, and that befriending his sister-in-law wouldn't, really, make a difference. It wouldn't bring Alphonse back to life.

He had found, though, that he could relate to his, once annoying sister-in-law.

She was alright; she hadn't known Al has long has he did.

He, usually, visited her, just, to see the kids, that she, and Al shared.

The kids were, constantly, reminding him of Al, May, and himself. Maybe that's why he visited them, whenever he was in town.

He missed his younger brother, more than anything else.

They were best friends, and had always been eachothers' other half, because they grew up together.

They had always had eachother from the time that their father left them to their mom's death. They, also, had eachothers' back when they were forced to move in to their father's house, because they didn't have any other family left.

That was the time, that Al had met May.

Al and May were, both, eachothers' first love, and still been together, until Al's death.

Al had died, while on his way to visit May, and to finish up on the final touches for their wedding. Al and May were going to get married in three weeks, and May had, just, told him, that she was pregnant.

Al had been ecstatic; he was gushing over that with, enough, excitement and love to make Ed sick.

Ed, now, regretted every complaint about May, that he had voiced to his younger brother. He, also, regretted not being more excited over Al's upcoming wedding, and Al's future kids. He, even, regretted yelling at his father for attending Al's funeral.

He, also, wished, that he was more religious, so that he could feel more grateful for the words, and prayers said over his brother's grave. Maybe if he had been more religious than he could of saved his brother's life by praying for Al to live.

He would do anything, just, to have his brother back.
