Green. The most emerald green Roy had ever seen. He blinked at the eyes, and the eyes blinked back. "….Ed?" Roy said tentatively.

"….Ed?" Ed repeated in a child-like voice.

"Maes, call the doctor." Roy said out of the corner of his mouth.

Maes nodded and hurried to the door. Ed blinked, his whole body moving to turn and follow Maes as he walked away. Roy walked forward while Ed wasn't paying attention. Ed pulled the blanket from his leg, swung it off the bed, and attempted to follow Hughes. His only leg, bound up in a thick cast, crumpled underneath him. Roy practically dove forward and caught Ed before he hit the ground. "….Ed?" Ed repeated.

"That's your name. Not mine." Roy said.

"…" Ed simply blinked at him again, with those bright green eyes.

"So…..uh….." Roy said, sitting Ed back on the bed.

"….."

He didn't know what to say. The boy in front of him looked exactly like Ed. Save for the green eyes. But it wasn't Ed. The doctor then walked in. "So, what's wr-"The doctor said but stopped in his tracks.

The boy in front of him looked over. "…?" He attempted to get up again. "….Ed?"

"No-" Roy started but Ed was already going to stand up.

Roy jumped to his feet and gently sat the boy back on the bed. "That's Edward Elric?"

"….Ed?" Ed said.

Maes, standing behind doctor, replied, "Yeah, but that's also not him."

"What do you mean?"

"Heard the term lights are on but no one's home?" Maes asked.

The doctor nodded. "This is a perfect example."

"This looks like Ed, but Ed's eyes are tawny, not green." Roy explained, while the Ed next to him stared out the window at a family of birds.

"Hmmmm, well if he's awake we'll have to run some tests on him. He may be able to go home in another week or so. It's that or off to rehab."

"What would they do at rehab?" Hughes asked, while carefully holding a restless Ed down in his bed.

"We'd have to re-teach him how to speak. We'd also have to get new automail and teach him to walk again." The doctor explained.

"How about for the moment, give him a sedative so he can sleep for now?" The nurse behind him suggested.

No one had noticed her walk in but didn't point it out. "We'll think it over tomorrow." Roy said, and motioned to Maes.

Ed immediately went on defensive when the doctor got the syringe. He held Maes arm, which had been on his shoulder, in his thin one. Ed whimpered almost piteously. Roy moved forward and gently unclenched Ed's fingers from Maes's arm.

Ed looked up and blinked those large, green, eyes. "Hold still, this may hurt a bit." Roy said in the kindest voice he could muster.

Ed simply blinked again and stared into Roy's face with such deepness he felt like the kid was practically probing his mind. He was staring so deeply that Ed didn't even notice the syringe enter his arm. He kept staring until the doctor finished. "….Ed?" Was is last word before he fell asleep again.
