Ed was gone. Rose had seen it before her very eyes. Envy had stabbed him. No one could live through that. As his body fell limp, not much changed in the world. It seemed so insignificant...
All of the Elric brothers' close friends were gathering at the Rockbell residence in Resembool for a memorial service. Everyone greeted eachother, they spoke of Ed and mourned him. The service was peaceful and somewhat nice, as nice as can be anyway. But as everyone was outside gathering their things to leave, they all saw something that they didn't believe. A silouhette could be seen from the door. It resembled the shape of a boy. Al, now with a full human body examined the silhouette from afar, then suddenly realising who it was. He sprinted across the lawn and jumped at the silouhette, but of course going right through him. Several people followed him. Roy was first at the scene.
"Alphonse what are you..." Everyone noticed the silouhette.
"Edward...?" He smiled.
"Looks like dying isn't all that bad when you get a chance to say goodbye." Al looked up at his brother with tears in his eyes.
"Brother, how are you here?" Ed looked down at his sibling.
"I bargained with the gate, and they allowed my soul one hour before I have to go." Everyone stared at him. Winry and Pinako made their way to the front of the crowd. Winry smiled gently.
"Your time's almost up, for good, isn't it?" He nodded.
"So you're...really going for..." She couldn't finish her sentance. A light appeared from beyond the trees, like a door was opening. Ed just smiled at all his friends.
"It's time for me to go now." Many people began crying. Ed just sighed and knelt down next to his sobbing brother.
(Ed)
"I'm sailing away"
"Set an open course"
"For the virgin sea"
"Cause I've got to be free" Al looked up. Ed smiled.
"Free to face the life"
"That's ahead of me" Everyone knew he was saying goodbye. All his military comrades came forward to bid him farewell.
(Havoc)
"On board"
"I'm the captain"
"So climb aboard"
(Breda)
"We'll search for tomorrow"
"On every shore" Ed smiled at them, then noticed Winry kneeling with her head down.
(Winry)
"And I'll try"
"Oh lord"
"I'll try" Then Al knelt beside her and rubbed her shoulders.
(Al)
"To carry on" Ed nodded to him, before hearing Falman.
(Falman)
"I look to the sea"
"Reflections in the waves"
"Spark my memory" Furey spoke up next.
(Furey)
"Some happy"
"Some sad"
"I think of childhood friends"
"And the dreams we had" Riza nudged Roy forward, and he smiled sheepishly at Ed.
(Roy)
"We lived happily forever"
"So the story goes"
(Riza)
"But somehow we missed out"
"On the pot of gold" Everyone turned as Ed's father made an appearence. He had the look of a father in his eye.
(Hoenheim)
"But we'll try best we can" He was interrupted but a large bellowing noise.
(Armstrong)
"To carry on" Then the mood turned a little cheery as Armstrong began to sing.
"A gathering of angels"
"Appeared above my head"
"They sang to me a song of hope"
"And this is what they declared"
"Come sail away"
"Come sail away"
"Come sail away with me" He motioned for everyone to join in. Ed also joined in with the crowd.
(All)
"Come sail away"
"Come sail away"
"Come sail away with me" Armstrong pointed to Ed and Al.
(Ed and Al)
"Come sail away"
"Come sail away"
"Come sail away with me" Now it was Roy's teams turn.
(Roy, Riza, Havoc, Falman, Breda and Furey)
"Come sail away"
"Come sail away"
"Come sail away with me" Armstrong took over once again.
(Armstrong)
"I thought that they were angels"
"But to my surprise"
"We climbed aboard their airship"
"And head for the skies"
"Singing" Ed started fading into the gate, but he held out his hand.
(Ed)
"Come sail away"
"Come sail away"
"Come sail away with me"
(Ed and Al)
"Come sail away"
"Come sail away"
"Come sail away with me" Hoenheim stood next to Al as he waved to his brother.
(Ed, Al and Hoenheim)
"Come sail away"
"Come sail away"
"Come sail away with me" Everyone began to wave to Ed.
(Ed)
"Come sail away"
"Come sail away"
"Come sail away with me..." He waved and smiled.
"Goodbye everyone, thank you all." And then he was gone.
EVeryone soon finished and went home, with one last image of the Fullmetal Alchemist with them, one they'd never forget.
