"Thank you, Rose. That should elude anyone that would be following me." Ed said as he removed the mask and smiled at Rose.
"What are friends for?" Rose asked with a smile that wrinkled her eyes.
"Rides?" Ed joked with a smile earning him an elbow to his arm.
"You know I can't drive, but I can get someone to take you to the train station in the next town." Rose said with a grin as she handed Ed a suitcase. "This contains more clothes that I got you and a few things you could use in the future. I also got you some money for your journey." She informed as she handed him a pull string bag full of money.
"Thank you again, Rose." He said with a smile as he hugged her.
"Yeah, yeah, you're welcome. Anyway, we should go now so you can get to that train station." Rose said as she grabbed Ed and pulled Ed toward the front door.
"Hold on. Let me pack my old clothes. I like to keep them for sentimental reasons." Ed said as he placed the mask back on his face and pushed his old clothes into the suitcase under his new clothes.
"I understand." Rose said with a sympathetic smile as she waited for Ed to lock the suitcase.
"Alright, I'm ready." He said as he let himself be pulled out of the house and through the town by Rose.
"Here we are." She said as she stopped then in front of a garage. "Joe, you in?" She called out as she entered the store.
"I'm in the back." A voice from inside yelled back before a white haired man came into view. "Rose! What a surprise. What brings you here?" He asked as he wiped his hands off on a towel.
"Well, my friend here needs a ride to the train station in the next town. Think you can do it?" Rose asked with a smile as she pointed to Ed.
"Sure, but it'll cost ya." Joe said as he placed the towel down and flipped a switch making the second garage door open.
"I know." Rose said before she hugged him then turned to Ed. "Well, I must go. Keep safe, my friend." Rose said before she turned back to Joe. "Take good care of Envidia, Joe." She added as she left with a wave.
"Envidia, I wouldn't worry. I'm the safest driver in this town." Joe said with a grin as he pulled a cover off a black four door car.
"Your driving is the least of my worries." Ed said making Joe laugh.
"You're funny. I think I'm going to like you." Joe joked as he jumped into the driver seat.
"Yeah. By the way, how long will it take to get to the train station?" He asked as he walked over to the car and threw his things in before climbing in.
"Not as long as it takes to walk if that's what you're getting at." Joe said then started the engine. "If anything it'll be a little bit of forty-five minutes." He added as he pulled out and turned out onto the road.
"Oh, okay. Does this car have a radio?" Ed asked as he leaned back into the car and relaxed.
"Yep, first car to have one." Joe said as he turned it on and classic music filled the car.
"Sweet." Ed said as he stared out at the town that soon disappeared and turned into nothing but sand. The music helped to calm his nerves of the recent events and escape from his problems. He was about to close his eyes when something black caught his eyes. 'It can't be…Envy?' He thought as he gazed as he passed the person and sure enough it was exactly who he thought it was. 'What's he doing out here?' he pondered as he relaxed in the seat more so he wouldn't be given away. 'Wait, Rose had told him I had left town. He actually believed her.' This thought made Ed bust out in a fit of laughter and Joe looked at him via the rearview mirror.
"What are you laughing at?" Joe asked with a raised eyebrow that Ed could see in the mirror.
"Oh, nothing, it was just something I remembered and thought was funny." Ed lied with a nonchalant shrug before the car was silent except for the music.
"So…uh…Envidia, how do you know Rose?" Joe asked as he tried to make small talk.
"Oh, we go way back. We've been friends since we met in the orphanage." Ed told the lie that he had been practicing all night with Rose.
"Really? Well, it's good that she has friends outside that town." Joe said with a smile as he looked back at the road again.
"Yeah." Ed softly said with a hidden frown.
"I've been wondering, why do you wear that mask?" Joe asked with a frown as he glanced in the mirror at Ed then back at the road.
"I had an accident when I was little and I do not wish for it to be shown." He said and again they rode in silence. Forty minutes later and they could see their destination.
"Well, here you are, mister Envidia." Joe said as he stopped the car outside the train station and looked back at the masked man behind him. "Have a safe journey." He added as Ed climbed out of the car and closed the door behind him.
"I'll try." Ed joked with a smile laugh as he waved to Joe and walked to the ticket booth.
"One ticket to Risembool, please." Ed order as he passed the amount of money he knew the ticket would cost to the lady in the booth.
"Thank you, have a nice trip." The woman said with a professional smile and Ed nodded his head as turned away to wait for his train.
"Train 205 to Risembool will arrive in one minute." The man on the intercom announced.
'That was fast.' Ed thought with a smile as he made his way toward the tracks. A minute later said train pulled into the station and opened its door to let people in and out. Ed quickly made his way onto the train and showed the ticket man his ticket. He made his way to the second from the back seat and placed his suitcase on the rack above.
"Train 205 to Risembool will be leaving in five minutes." The man on the intercom announced the thing he was taught to say.
Ed sighed as he sat down and relaxed into the seat before lightly dozing. The train began to move taking Ed to his home town and away from the danger of the homunculi.
