Chapter 6 – Last Chapter

Ed, Roy, Shou, and Marcoh entered the building. The went under a few arch ways and entered the ball room that held the portal.

Only the portal was smaller.

"The portal..." Ed said, staring at the small hole, "...it's...shrunk..."

"I'd say we have five minutes to get through it before it closes...for good, hopefully..." Roy said, also staring.

Ed was silent for a moment before putting his hands on his hips and all but screaming at Roy, "YOU MEAN WE WALKED AROUND THIS WHOLE GODDAMNED CITY WHEN WE COULD'VE JUST WAITED FOR IT TO CLOSE BY ITSELF!"

Roy scratched the back of his head, "So it seems..." Shou said quietly, "I need to go back to Nina...as you know, her mother is very sick and Nina can't take care of her by herself for too long. She's a teenager now and has friends and a life," he smiled, "...what I am going to do with her?" He laughed, "Have a safe trip back, I'll come and check on this place every now and then to see if it's-"

"No." Ed interrupted, "Burn this place. Burn it down to the ground. Too many innocent people have died...including my father. Just burn it and forget this ever happened. Have a good life Tucker, you're a better man in this world..." Ed looked Shou in the eyes as he said this, he looked at Marcoh, "I wish I could say the same for you, Dr. Marcoh." Ed said looking the older man in the eyes before he ran underneath the portal and looked for something to transmute. He found the old Al look-a-likes and made a stair case to the ceiling, "COME ON, MUSTANG! THIS THING WON'T HOLD LONG!" Ed yelled, running up the stairs, skipping two or three occasionally. Gotta get home...gotta check on Winry...gotta see Al... Ed thought as he hurried up, up, up.

At Ed's call, Roy said goodbye to Tucker and Marcoh and started up the stairs, also skipping a few. He traveled to another universe, closed a portal to protect both worlds, and he'd probably still have a stack of paper work bigger than Armstrong's muscles...

Ed got to the top and reached a hand up to grab onto the ceiling, he felt his hand hit dirt on the other side and knew he was back at Leor. Ed pulled himself up further, he saw Roy reach where he was, Ed smiled and offered him a hand, Ed pulled Roy through the whole and the two looked around a place that was familiar, but different. It was Leor alright, but...somehow it was different...the wreckage was gone and the houses were cleaned up and-

"WELCOME TO THE NEW CITY OF LEOR! GOOD TO HAVE YOU TWO BACK!" Armstrong gushed, pulling Ed and Roy into a tight hug, "WE THOUGHT YOU'D NEVER MAKE IT BACK~!" He said; small tears escaping his eyes.

Winry came out from behind Armstrong, she hugged Ed. Ed was a little shocked, not used to being in close contact with someone other than the Colonel, who was currently facepalming and laughing at Ed. When Winry pulled away, all Ed saw was black as he was hit, yet again, with that stupid wrench of her's. "WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? YOU'VE BEEN GONE FOR SO LONG! IT'S BEEN ABOUT A YEAR HERE, YOU KNOW! WHILE YOU WERE GONE, ALPHONSE EVEN ASKED ME TO MARRY HIM, SO IT'S YOUR LOSS!" Winry screamed at Ed who lay on the dirt ground.

Al appeared from behind a building or something, scratching the back of his head, "...sorry brother..." Al said as he took Winry away from Ed, "Stop hitting him...he's gonna get a concussion one day, you know..." He tried to scold, but it was too cute sounding in his quiet little voice for anyone to take seriously.

"Ah, it's okay, Al, Winry...I've actually...found someone myself...I'm not sure how you guys will take this but me and-" Ed started, but was interrupted by Armstrong.

"OH! YOU'VE FOUND SOMEONE TO LOVE~! THAT'S SO GREAT, YOUNG EDWARD! I'M SURE YOU TWO WILL HAVE A GREAT LIFE!" Armstrong said happily as he took Edward into a big hug.

Roy pulled Armstrong off, "Major...how about you show me what you've done with the city...?" He asked, trying to get him to leave.

"OH! OF COURSE!" He said, taking Roy away. Roy gave Ed one of those 'you owe me one' looks. Ed was pretty sure he knew what Roy would want in return...

Winry looked at Ed, "As you were saying...?" She asked politely, holding hands with Al.

"Oh, yeah...uh...I'm not sure how you guys will take this but me and the Colonel are dating..." Ed explained, quickly and quietly, he blushed profusely.

Al looked shocked, "BROTHER! I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE—" Winry cut him off.

Winry looked ecstatic. "YOU'RE DATING THE COLONEL! THAT'S GREAT NEWS, EDWARD! I WON'T TELL GRANDMA, BUT YOU GOTTA PROMISE ME ONE THING!"

Ed was a little worried when she whispered in his ear. Please don't be a fangirl! PLEASE DON'T BE A FANGIRL! He thought. When she pulled away from his ear, he stared at the ground, "...fangirl..." He muttered too quietly for anyone to catch.

"What was that about, Winry?" Al asked Winry.

"Oh, nothing, Alphonse...let's go find the Major...get him to leave Roy alone, okay?" Winry asked, pulling Al away.

"Oh...okay! Bye big brother!" Al said as he left with Winry.

"All these years, and he hasn't grown out of calling me that..." Ed smiled and muttered to himself quietly and sat on a bench. He jumped when he noticed the arm rests were shaped like Armstrong's arms. The backboard had a carved picture of his face on it... Ed sighed, "Maybe this city was better back when Cornello ran the place...?" He asked aloud.

"I couldn't agree more." Roy said, laughing as he approached the Bench of Armstrong-ness and sat next to Ed. "Now...about getting Armstrong to leave you alone...?"

"I know...I know..." Ed muttered, blushing.

"Now. Right now. On this bench."

Ed's blush took over his face, "WHAT! I AM NOT GOING TO DO THAT RIGHT NOW!"

"HEY MAAAAAJOOOOOR! ED NEEDS TO TELL YOU MORE ABOUT-"

"Shesh..." Ed said, slapping a hand over Roy's mouth, he could be pretty childish at times. "...okay...okay...right now...on this bench..." Ed averted his eyes as he began to take off his coat.

Maybe having alternate universes are good? Roy thought. Would we have been doing this right now, had that not happened, Fullmetal? Would we be together like we are now if that had turned out differently? Would your brother have gone with you? What if you had gone alone? Roy continued thinking as Ed striped, blushing immensely, I'm glad I joined the Military... Roy thought as he pushed Ed back onto the bench and began to kiss him all over, "I love you, Edward. I love you."

Ed blushed as he kissed back, "I love you too, Roy..."

A/N:

Well...that's the end! But, like I said before, I am planning on making a second story, not exactly a sequel or anything, but more like a deleted scenes story for all my smut fans! :3 Yes, it will include the one at the very end, so people who read that one will have a bit of an alternate ending! XP

Well...I'm very happy I was able to make this very sad movie ending into more of a 'and they lived happily ever after' type story!

Yeah...uh...a little bit of Al/Winry and suggested Ed/Winry...not a big fan of those pairings, but they were just sort of...needed? I guess...? Oh well...

You know what? I love writing Armstrong. And I want a bench like that...really...really...BAD. XD

Well, I hope you read some of my other stories and you review this one!

'Kay! I shuddup now!
