Song: I Can Go the Distance from Hercules
Characters: Edward
Disclaimer: I do not own Fullmetal Alchemist or Hercules
Ed and Al are staying with Shou Tucker and his daughter Nina. It is two days before Ed has to sit his state alchemist exam. He was sitting in the library, studying up. He put the book he was reading down. He started thinking about his past, about what he and his brother had done. He needed to express how he felt.
(Ed)
"I have often dreamed"
"Of a far off place"
"Where a mother's welcome"
"Would be waiting for me"
"Where she'll call my name"
"When she sees my face"
"And her voice will say"
"This is where I'm meant to be" He stood and began walking through the library.
"I'll be there someday"
"I can go the distance"
"I will find my way" He jumped on top of one of the bookcases.
"If I can be strong" He threw his arms up in the air.
"I know every mile"
"Will be worth my while" He jumped off the bookcase and pounded his fist against the ground.
"When I go the distance" He pointed to his heart.
"I'll be right where I belong" He sank to the ground.
"Down an unknown road"
"To embrace my fate"
"Though the road will wonder" He got to his feet.
"It will lead me to you"
"And a thousand years"
"Would be worth the wait"
"It may take a lifetime"
"But somehow I'll see it through" He started walking the halls of the mansion.
"And I won't look back"
"I can go the distance"
"And I'll stay on track"
"No I won't accept defeat"
"It's an uphill slope"
"But I won't lose hope" He started running to the front door of the mansion.
"Till I go the distance"
"And my journey is complete!" He burst through the front door, holding that last note for a while. He sat down on the front step.
"But to look beyond the glory is the hardest part" He stared down at his hand.
"For a hero's strength is measured by his heart" He pounded his fist against his chest, right above his heart.
"Like a shooting star" He ran across the front lawn
"I can go the distance!"
"I will search the world"
"I will face its harms"
"I don't care how far"
"I can go the distance"
"Till I find my hero's welcome"
"Waiting in your arms..." He lay back in the snow and stared at the snow.
"I will search the world"
"I will face its harms..."
"I will go almost anywhere"
"To find where I...belong..." He held the last note. And as it disappeared, so did his fear. He knew he could pass the state alchemy exam. So in two days time, he was sure he would find where he belonged.
