Author's Note: I don't own FMA or its characters. This is AU and set after the end of the manga.
Rock Island Line
It was a small contingent that saw them off at the station. There had been a private farewell party the night before, but the group had been trying to avoid the public eye. Not everyone had been pleased with Roy and Riza's sentence of exile instead of death. But Ed and Al were popular enough that no one would bother them with Winry falling under their protection, and it would be the height of rudeness to give insult to General Hughes' widow and daughter.
With their trunks loaded, the only thing left to say was goodbye. To Riza's surprise, both Edward and Alphonse kissed her on the cheek.
"Just let us know if Colonel Bastard isn't treating you right, and we'll come and set him straight." Ed might have recovered his brother's body, but some things never change.
Winry hugged them both. "Take care of yourselves."
Gracia hugged both of them hard. "Write once you've found a place. Elysia and I'll visit over the summer."
Elysia tugged at her skirt. "Are you coming back, Auntie Riza?"
She stooped down to hug the girl. "No, Elysia. Your Uncle Roy and I are going to live in Creta now. You can come visit us, but we can't come back here."
"Why not?"
"Train six eleven bound for Creta is now boarding."
Roy took her hand. "It's time to go."
