Roy Mustang: *walks into his office* Hm… What's that? *goes and picks up the note
*note says someone wants to meet him at the cafe he first met Aia...the package is the necklace with Aia's crest on it...That was supposedly lost*
Roy Mustang: Akari!!!!!!!!!
Akari: *comes in* what's wrong Dad?
Roy Mustang: I need you to cover for me I got someplace to go ok
Akari: Of course.
Astraia: *is sitting at a table looking around nervously and keeping her hands on her cup of coffee to keep from fidgeting* I wonder...if he has found someone else....
Roy Mustang: *walks in to the cafe slowly due to his old age*
Astraia: *keeps looking around and trying to fidget* what do they all look like now...do they even remember me...
Roy Mustang: *reads the note again* hmmmm I wonder who this is from it came with Aia's locket...................
Astraia: *hears his voice and freezes, staring straight ahead* He's here...oh god...will he remember me...is he remarried...what about the kids....
Roy Mustang: *looks around the cafe and see someone from his past* Aia?
Astraia: *slowly turns and stands up to face him* R-Roy?
Roy Mustang: Is that really you Aia?
Astraia: *nods slowly* Y-yes
Roy Mustang: But we thought you were dead.............. Ed thought he killed you. You missed so much *hugs her *
Astraia: *hugs back* He killed my decoy...I sent it into the forest...as I was walking I tripped on some rocks and fell down a cliff...I lost my memory until a few days ago
Roy Mustang: *keeps hugging her* the past we can forget now you here. But I know 2 people that would love to see you 1 of them you might remember as a baby
Astraia: *hugs back* 13 years...I missed 13 years...
Roy Mustang: come on I got Akari covering for me at the office but it is almost time for me to retire
Astraia: *smiles and holds his hand, smirking slightly* How about some fun though. For Akari at least *walks with him back towards HQ*
Roy Mustang: Aia Ed is dead
Astraia: *nods* because of me right?
Roy Mustang: He kept hearing your voice he thought he killed you he been asking everyone to end it Ari did she felt bad for him
Astraia: *sighs* I had worried about that...I knew how he looked up to me
Roy Mustang: that was 10 years ago now Akari is 20 and Kazu is 14
Astraia: *looks at him horrified* Akari killed him at the age of 10 with no second though!!!
Roy Mustang: I Tired stopping her baby but she has something to remember him by Winry gave it to her 5 years ago
Astraia: *nods* it's understandable...I just didn't expect her to do it so young...well let's get back to headquarters
Roy Mustang: You won't be able to see Kazu right away he is with Hawkeye as his celebration
Astraia: *smiles* so he is one too...
Roy Mustang: starting today Akari has been one since she was 10 but since she was so little she only was at HQ after school and on weekends
Astraia: *smiles* that's my girl...
Roy Mustang: Yea she looks a lot like you know she still has my attitude with fire addiction but our son is a different story *keeps walking with her*
*** At HQ ***
Astraia: *is walking next to Roy, head down, suddenly nervous again*
Roy Mustang: Aia before we go in I have to tell you something
Astraia: *looks up at him* Hmm?
Roy Mustang: There is a reason I am retiring and it is not because I am getting old
Astraia: *looks concerned* Why?
Roy Mustang: Because of those missions I went on back in my prime and get hit in the eyes not even glasses are not fixing it. Akari is right about picking a new further
Astraia: *smiles and pats his arm* It'll be ok...You made the changes this country needed*takes a breath and pushes open the door* Akari-chan.
