Eari was excited. She was staying at Akane's house until Sunday. Mind you, Eari was just happy she wasn't living on her own now. Then she realised she had to tell her mum something. "Hey mum, did you know grandma has an adoptive son?"

"Really?" She couldn't be bothered to reply, she wanted to get to school quickly. She practically flew to Ami's house she got there so quick, Ami was surprised. Ami failed to notice the backpack Eari kept fiddling with though. When she got to school, Eari shoved the backpack in her locker. Mr Fini noticed that morning that Eari was a lot more cheerful, probably because of his dopey comment. The other girls she sat with managed to find some way to take the piss out of him enough already, without Eari doing it too. Mr Atokinsan gave her her level and target in history, praising the drawing in the front of her book too. That made Eari even more cheerful and as she sat back in her seat next to Asuka, she looked at the drawing. It was of Yaya Mustang, her fan character which was Roys daughter. Its a long story. Miss Pesu noticed her working harder too. At the end of the day, Eari got her backpack out of her locker and began to walk to her nans. She had to meet Nadeshiko, Mitsoka and Poemu on Matari Puren at about half past three. She had to speed walk. She got there with perfect timing and she managed to see Kageka too. Kageka was asking after Ed, but when Eari phoned Akane there was something wrong. Eari assured Kageka that Ed was okay and left in a hurry with the other three.

"Bye Nadeshiko, Mitsoka!" Eari said before knocking on Akane's door. Akane answered.

"Hello there," she said. Eari entered.

"Whats wrong?"

"Its Ed, he hasn't come out of his room all day."

Eari nodded. "I'll go talk to him." She took off her shoes and went upstairs. She didn't bother to knock on the door because it was still like her room. Inside, Ed was curled up inside his blankets. On the bedside table there was half a glass of water that Akane must have put there. Eari shut the door behind her. She leaned over the bed and saw sweat on Eds face. Nightmares about Amestris. She shook Ed lightly and he instantly woke up. He sat up quickly, gasping for breath. "Here Ed, have some water." Eari helped him drink it. Ed regained a steady breath.

"Eari..."

"Nightmares huh? Happens to the best of us."

"It...was horrible..." Ed stuttered. Eari felt sorry for him because in truth, she hadn't had a nightmare for a couple of years now.

"Ed, you don't need to make yourself go over it again." He looked like he was going to be sick. Eari scooted over just in case. Luckily it didn't happen.

"I'm...glad you...woke me up..." his voice was tearing up.

"Ed..." It must have been a truly terrible dream.

"If...not..." Eari gave him a hug. She thought Roy was the only one that had nightmares. Nope, Ed did too. He had seen some truly terrible things. Ed was starting to make a wet patch in her blazer. Her reaction to that was to get Ed off her and take her blazer off. Great, now what? Making a curious face, Eari handed him the blazer and he cried into that. She went downstairs and took a few things up to Ed. This was his top, his trousers and the lunch he never ate. She went back upstairs and Ed looked like he was asleep in her blazer. She was releived when he opened one eye. She ate the little but of food that Akane had given her, while Ed munched on his. He was still eating when she had finished, so she decided to braid his hair. That was something she had always wanted to do, braid Eds hair. Another thing off her list. She left so he could put his clothes on, although she didn't really need to she did anyway, taking the plates into Akane.

"Is he alright now?" She asked. Eari nodded. "Thank you." Ed came down the stairs and got Eari to put cbeebies on for him. Eari didn't really want to watch something as childish as cbeebies, but it made Ed happy. Nadeshiko and Mitsoka came over with their sleeping bags and stuff because they were sleeping over as a birthday treat. Eari got Ed to ring Kageka because she was worried. They even got him to say 'Love you too' back to her before he put the phone down.

"I hope Kageka can sleepover next year," said Eari. "She gets lonely." The four began to make their way up the stairs into the room Eari stays in because there is a large amount of floor space.

"Don't do anything I wouldn't do," Akane said. Eari blushed.

"Grandma! You're as bad as mum!" The four teens made up a camp thing in the room. Akane brought up some nibbles and torches, so they told spooky stories. Ed shared some Amestrian ones that made the girls cling onto eatchother. They fell asleep in the early hours of the morning.
