Woohoo! I am on another roll! I still love hearing from those of you who review! You guys are amazing and one of the reasons why I am as far as I am in Angel, The Homunculous. Thank you so much! -bows-

In this chapter, I wanted more time with Ed X Angel. I am beginning to fall for this pairing and I am quite a shipper anyway. XD Since Envy and Greed had their moment in the end of the last chapter, I figured I would give Roy his mini-moment in the beginning of this one-not that he has much to say about Ed and Angel dancing. But I have to say, the ending of this chapter is my favorite and I would love to hear what you readers thought of it!

Songs: "Just A Kiss" by Lady Antebellum (You'll see...)
"When You Kiss Me Like This" by Toby Keith (This song just seemed to fit the central theme of these two)
"Never Knew I Needed" by Ne-Yo (There are a few lyrics in the song that reminded me of the last scene with Ed and Angel just before the moment I am so proud of. That and because it's the central theme song for "Princess and the Frog" and when I think of that, I think of fireflies (:D Ray~!))
"Hero" by Enrique Iglesias (I think this would probably have been a good wedding song for Ed and Andi)
"Like Nobody Else" by My Darkest Days (I was listening to this song when Ed had his memory of Andi at the end of this chapter.)
"With You" by Chris Brown (With the chorus, it seemed to describe Ed and Angel's feelings)
"Forever" by Chris Brown
"Bring Me to Life" by Evanescence (For that "spark")

Roy watched as Ed danced like he had at his wedding. Angel was pulled close to his body as they danced. A soft, yet happy smile was planted on her face almost permanently. Her eyes were closed, just as Andi had looked on their wedding day.

She isn't Andi, though, Roy thought as he took another drink of his drink. After watching Ed and Angel smile to each other as they talked, Roy shrugged thinking, though, I could be wrong.

Angel chuckled as Ed said something while they danced, still feeling the same sparks she felt when they started to dance. Ed couldn't help but to stare at her, feeling more at ease the more he spent time with her. He soon started to forget the world around him, the reasons he came to the bar in the first place, what Roy had told him about his missing wife's case, everything except for him and Angel.

Angel rested her head against Ed's shoulder as they slow danced again. She started to see bright lights around her, which weren't in the bar normally. They were strung up around them as they spun around, meshing with the bar's scenery. The music was starting to fade into a different, more romantic song as Angel and Ed continued to dance. Eventually, the white oxford shirt Edward was wearing had changed colors and feel, turning into a slightly rougher and black in color. It wasn't from the shadows of the bar either. It was the actual fabric of what he was wearing. Angel shifted her head on Ed's shoulder as he continued to spin them around on the dance floor slowly. Her hair had moved from her shoulders and cascading in front of her field of vision to behind her with a lighter hair color in her eyes as her bangs.

Damn, fucking visions, Angel thought as she unconsciously tightened her hold on Ed. She continued her thought with, they seem to get more and more vivid.

"You alright, Angel?" Ed asked, clearly concerned for his dance partner.

Angel lifted her head from his shoulder, looking to him. Instantaneously, Ed saw his wife looking to him with the same expression on her face. He fought the urge to alarm her by stepping from her.

"I'm fine, just thinking of something I'd rather not think about for a moment," she said, wondering how to explain her visions without freaking the one person who's been on her mind almost as much as the visions have plagued her lately.

"Yeah, I know the feeling," Ed said as he kept dancing with her. Even if it was a mere sway, he didn't want to stop dancing with her. He felt like he could dance with her forever and feel hardly any remorse.

"Do you ever have your mind bring up something you'd rather not think about, but you're forced to?" Angel asked, trying to make sense as her heart quickened when she realized how close she was to Ed.

Ed didn't have to think for a moment before he said, "Yes. Happens to me all the time."

Angel felt sudden relief that she wasn't the only one who's mind loved to fuck with her. She looked up to Ed, the edges of her side-swept bangs falling in front of her right eye much like Andi's had done when she was working on something and looked up. Unconsciously, Ed pushed them away with his fingertips, like he'd done with Andi each time he saw it. Where Ed's fingertips had brushed on her skin, Angel felt tiny sparks light up something deep within her. She hardly realized they had stopped dancing.

"Hey, Ed, you want to do for a walk? I need some fresh air from dancing," Angel said with a soft smile.

Ed couldn't help but smile even if his mind was forcing him to think about his MIA wife. There was something about this girl that he liked. "I'd like to," he said as he started for the door with her.

Angel didn't bother looking over toward Envy or Greed, who had been watching her intently since she had gotten close to Edward. Instead, she walked out like she had walked into the bar alone. Angel stepped out into the cool night air, feeling more relieved than she felt in the bar. Maybe it was because she didn't have Envy and Greed watching her every move. It would have been different if Lust was with them. Angel turned to Ed as he walked out behind her.

"Lead the way," Angel said as they started walking together down the sidewalk, going away from the bar.

Ed smiled as they walked, looking toward Angel. He took in everything about her, seeing such familiar curves and silky-looking hair. He wondered if it was as silky as Andi's hair had been and Mick's was.

"So, have you ever left Central City?" Ed asked as they continued their destination-less walk around the city. He didn't care where they were going, he just wanted to keep being around her for some unfathomable reason.

Angel shook her head. "That's complicated."

"How?"

Angel looked to her feet as they walked, avoiding Ed's peering eyes. "You see, there is a portion of my life where I can't remember anything no matter how hard I try. So if I had left Central within that time, I wouldn't have remembered," Angel explained, trying to make it sound like she wasn't a homunculous and that she was normal, which is what she wanted to be.

Ed nodded, seeming to understand. "I've been all over Amestris," he said, remembering his missions, assignments, and escapades throughout the country looking for the Philosopher's Stone to restore Al's body.

"What made you decide on Central?"

Ed thought for a moment of why he decided on Central City. Maes and his family was in Central. His family, though, was in Risembool. He smiled as he thought of the family he had in Central. Of Mickaela, his little daughter, his princess. Then there was his angel, his wife: Andi. "There were a few reasons. Central seemed to be the fit for me, and I had a family here that wasn't just my brother and his wife and family."

Angel smiled, thinking that it fit Ed to live in the fast pace of Central City. "Sounds nice," she said. She looked to him, wondering something. "You're an Elric, right?"

Ed nodded.

Angel felt her cheeks get hot with embarrassment. "You were the Fullmetal Alchemist, right?"

"Yeah." He wondered where she was taking this.

Angel started to feel her blood rise to her face, burning her up at the same time. She looked from him. "This is going to be an odd question, but why do, or did, they call you the Fullmetal Alchemist?" After a moment and before Ed could answer with that smile of his, Angel added, "I understand the alchemist part in your name."

Angel stopped herself before she dug herself a hole she knew she couldn't get out of no matter how hard she tried.

Ed chuckled, the smile still on his lips. "When I joined, I had two automail limbs. One right arm and a left leg. I got the automail when I was around eleven after I had already lost my limbs in an alchemy accident," Ed had gotten so used to calling the failed Human Transmutation he and Al performed an alchemy accident that it was so easy for him to say now. "I became Fullmetal when I was twelve after I had passed the State Alchemy certification. I ended up getting my right arm back when I was about eighteen."

Angel smiled, chuckling a little. "Damn, you've been in the military since you were twelve?"

Edward nodded. "That's how I met Roy, the guy you met earlier today," Ed had nearly forgotten that he had seen her just earlier in the day before he had gone to see Mick at Maes' house and came to the bar. He thought of what he wanted to say next, picturing what Andi was like on the day they had met. "The military was also how I met my wife."

The one that's gone, Angel finished for herself when Ed didn't. She remembered Roy mentioning that his wife was no longer with him. Angel figured she was dead or something. She couldn't imagine the wife of the former Fullmetal Alchemist leaving him.

Although Angel wanted to know how he and his wife met, she didn't ask. She figured it was too painful for him to think about, already seeing the pain flicker behind his eyes when he mentioned her to Angel.

Edward continued their walk, somehow directing them toward Central City Gardens. He really hadn't been there at night since he proposed to Andi. At this point, he didn't care what the gardens meant to him back then. For some reason, Edward thought that Angel hadn't seen the gardens before. He had no idea what was making him think that.

The two had continued their walk toward Central City Gardens, talking about whatever came to their minds. Angel had found it so easy to talk to Ed, finding it even easier to talk to him than to Lust. Ed talked to the Andi look-alike easily, almost like Angel was her. He hadn't found a girl he could talk to like that since Andi. Ed was almost relieved he could talk to Angel.

When the two had reached the gardens, and after Angel had commented on how beautiful the gardens had looked lit up in the night, they walked slower through the gardens, gradually getting closer to each other. Eventually, during their walk, Angel had come to a complete stop, staring at the picturesque scenery around her. Ed had stopped when she had, looking toward her as she took in the gardens.

"Amazing how something so peaceful and beautiful could be in such a fast-paced city," she said in a dreamy whisper as she slowly spun around, ending with her facing toward Ed.

Ed nodded. "Yeah, my brother, when he traveled with me around Amestris, and I would spar here. But one time, we had gotten back late from an assignment and we were heading somewhere when we saw this. For once, it was something that almost reminded us of the nights in Risembool. Although, in Risembool, you can see the infinite number of stars in the cosmos."

"But here you can see tranquility even when the world seems like it isn't," Angel said, making a note to herself to visit when she wanted out of the mansion and away from Envy and Greed like she is now.

Edward smiled lightly, seeing her happy was warming up something cold deep within him. He stepped toward her without realizing it until he was face-to-face with her. His arm was around her body lightly as her hand was pressed against his chest, almost directly under his rapidly beating heart. A cool, yet warm, night breeze blew by them, making Angel's brunette hair tease around her, wrapping around her neck and brushing against Ed's arms. Ed smiled, using his right hand to push back her hair, letting the strands run between his fingers. He was shocked, letting his eyes widen for a moment before lowering them to normal.

Her hair is just as silky smooth as Andi's was, Ed thought as his mind made his memory flash.

Andi was sitting on him, clad only her red spaghetti strap tank and a pair of her favorite jeans. She was smiling down to him from on top of him, her hand on his shirtless chest as if to keep her from falling on top of him. Her legs were pressed tight, yet loose hold against his body For once her layered, silky, deep gold hair was down, curtaining around her face and hiding her expressions so that only Ed saw them. Her eyes were shining as she looked into his. Ed reached up, letting his fingers twirl around and into her hair. He loved the feel of her silky hair in his fingers. Andi giggled softly, leaning down to him, letting his fingers go deeper into her hair and curl around the base of her neck as her soft gentle lips touched his in a passionate kiss. Ed immediately felt sparks running through his system, making him feel more alive than he had since the last time he had kissed her.

Ed and Angel had both opened their eyes at the same time as their lips parted and Ed's hands had retracted from deep inside Angel's hair from the base of her neck. Angel, at the same time Ed was pulling his fingers from her hair, letting them comb through it, was pulling her arms down, where they had been around his neck. Ed couldn't help but to feel something deep within him light up from that had been cold for so long. Angel, for the first time since becoming a homunculous, had never felt so alive until then. She smiled to Ed with the edge of her front teeth barely skimming, but enough to catch her bottom lip. Ed stared into Angel's eyes with a smile on his face, seeing Andi's eyes within Angel's dark ones.
