Edit: Ok! Yes I've modified this so many times it's not even funny but I'm at it again! I'm sure all of the stories will be rated for different age groups but all together the Series is rated PG or PG13 for some Mild Language and Mild to Moderate displays of Violence...but mostly the fact that I'm pretty detailed when it comes to some things that have to do with Violence.
Disclamer: I don't own Alphonse H. or the Elric Brothers and any other FMA Characters I have in here...all though I really wish I did...They belong to the creater of Fullmetal Alchemist and all that good stuff. However Nozomi Curtis, Nozomi H., Nichole, Trisha, and Aria all belong to me!
Spoiler Warning: All stories in this take place after The Fullmetal Alchemist Movie...Just a spoiler warning because I'm polite like that....
*So the name of this series is Moments. It will be a mix of several of my Fullmetal Alchemist stories but I'm just feeling neat so I'm puting them all in one single topic. So yeah! Enjoy and tell me what you guys think!

Wings Of Hope Chapter 1: Whishing “I’ll be right out I promise! Come on you can trust me, Edward.” Said the voice of a man. The source happened to be standing in front of Konomi Café. It was a taller looking, seventeen-year-old boy. He had short and somewhat well kept blonde hair, his blue eyes gleaming in the sunlight. “Just hurry up, Alphonse. I don’t want to be late, again.” Said the voice of another man, Edward, who stood in a few feet away from the Café on the sidewalk. He had long golden blonde hair, which was kept in a ponytail. He watched the other man, Alphonse, with sharp golden yellow eyes. “I will! I promise!” Alphonse yelled grinning broadly. He pushed open the door to Konomi Café and walked inside. His eyes landed on a girl who stood at the front counter and he gasped. She had sparkling blue eyes and her long, dark brown, almost black hair was tied up in a ribbon. She wore a knee length black and white dress. She looked at Alphonse and smiled brightly. “Hello, welcome to Konomi Café! How can I help you?” She said in a happy tone of voice. Her smile was bright and beautiful and Alphonse couldn’t get over it. He just stood there, staring at her. “Hello, Umm…Sir? Can I help you?” She asked again looking at Alphonse who jumped about ten feet in the air at being call, Sir. He looked back at her, one question running through his head. What was her name? He sighed and looked at the ground thinking still and then looked up. “My name is Alphonse Heidrich…Umm…so…I…” Alphonse started and looked at the ground still having no idea what to say. “Oh! Can I please get some water and a raspberry tea? To go, please.” He said smiling slightly as he watched the girl turn around and mutter his order to the man behind her. “Please wait, Alphonse, Sir.” The girl said giggling, “My name is Trisha, Trisha Hope Evelinn.” She said with a soft smile as she watched Alphonse lean on the counter, staring at her. “One moment please.” She said with a large smile as she spun around and grabbed the drinks for him. Alphonse continued watching Trisha and suddenly, his hand slipped off the counter and fell to the side hitting his head on the tiled floor. Trisha gasped. “Are you alright!? Alphonse!?” She asked dashing around the counter and helping him to his feet. The boy had a dazed smiled plastered on his face. He looked around the Café in a dizzy fashion and gasped as Edward came marching through the door. “Ello, Edward!” Alphonse said shooting up, he seemed more embarrassed then happy now. He scanned the irritated look on Edward’s face and sighed. “I’m going…I’m going.” He said frowning as he turned back to Trisha and smiled. “Edward! This is Trisha!” He said pointing at Trisha who smiled and waved. “It’s very nice to meet you!” She said looking at Edward who gasped looking at her with a blank expression. You would have thought Edward was use to it by now, seeing people that looked like his friends, but Trisha looked and sounded just like his mother. She smiled like her. Edward sighed and looked at the ground with a sad expression. This clearly upset him and Alphonse could tell. “Edward? Are alright?” He asked and then looked from Edward to Trisha. “Do you two know each other?” Edward sighed, shook his head and turned towards the door. “Come on, Alphonse, let’s go.” He said softly, grabbing the water and heading out the door without making another sound. Alphonse sighed and looked at Trisha grinning broadly. “Sorry…He acts like that a lot…Hey! Are you going to the Carnival, tomorrow?” He asked looking at Trisha who nodded slightly. “Great! Would you like to see what I’m working on there?” He asked her and she smiled and nodded. “Great! Then can you meet me at the entrance at noon, promise.” He said and smiled as he grabbed his tea and watched her smile as he walked out the door.

Wings Of Hope Chapter 2: Still Alone It was bright and sunny out the day of the Carnival. Trisha sighed as she finally reached the entrance and sat down to wait. Her long brown hair now fell freely to her waist. She sighed and looked around once having a strange feeling Alphonse wasn’t going to show. Just as she was going to walk away, he walked up behind her. “I’m happy you came.” He said with a small sort of smile, “Follow me.” He added as he lead Trisha into the Carnival. Trisha looked around excitedly. It was all so amazing. She looked up at Alphonse who was smiling widely as they walked. “Ready?” He asked as they reached what seemed to be the center of the carnival. Trisha nodded as Alphonse lead her forward. “So this is the girl you were talking about all day yesterday, she’s very beautiful.” One of the men that stood in a group in the middle of the crowd said as Alphonse lead Trisha through to them. “So…you work with rockets?” Trisha asked looking around at the men with a smile. There was a large tower and many parts just lying all over the place. Alphonse smiled and laughed looking around carefully as if trying to find someone. “This is amazing!” Trisha said suddenly walking towards the large tower, the kneeling down next to the rocket with interest. “You might not want to touch that.” Came Edward’s sad voice. Trisha and Alphonse both looked up at him. He sighed and looked at the ground. “Trisha…I think that yesterday you and I got off on the wrong foot. I’m sorry for…doing that…” He said when he finally looked back at her. It was strange…he’d been thinking all day about it. The only people he could think about when he was with Trisha and Alphonse were his brother, Alphonse more commonly known as Al, his mother who’s name was also Trisha, Winry…and her…he frowned and looked sadly still at the ground once more. “Edward! Make a Wish!” “I mean…isn’t this great…we’re together again…I’m happy I can remember it all now…I mean…our past and all.” “Promise you won’t get hurt…please…promise!” “Ed…you’re the greatest thing that has ever happened to me…please don’t leave me now…” Her voice rang out in his head. “I won’t leave you…you’re my Wish, My Star Of Hope…I’ll come back…I swear…” It was the last thing he had said to her before… Edward shook his head, Trisha looked up at him, meeting his eyes, then quickly looked away. The look in his eyes was just so sad; he looked like he was about to burst into tears right in front of them all, but he didn’t. If only she knew what or who he was thinking about. Ed closed his eyes tightly. Nozomi Ayanna Curtis or Cunia as everyone else knew her. Ed started fiddling with his fingers. If he ever got back to Hagaren then the first thing he would do was tell her how sorry he was…then he would find Al. “Edward I’m going to show Trisha around.” Came Alphonse’s voice. Ed looked up and nodded before looking at the ground and returning to the rocket. He had to finish this for his love struck partner. He sat there for a moment and then sighed as everyone cleared off with to go see the Carnival with a friend. Edward didn’t have many friends there so he continued working on the rocket. “What are you doing?” Came a voice, the sound made Ed’s heart beat so fast it felt like it was about to burst from his chest, his head bursting with memories. That was her voice, Nozomi’s voice…He sighed and looked at the ground, now he was hearing things from behind him. He had felt this same way when he met Alphonse who seemed to have snuck up behind him the day they met. “I asked what you were doing, Edward?” The voice said. That was his name. It echoed through his head until he finally spun around to find a girl standing behind him. She had shoulder length, neat, well kept hair and bright blue eyes. Ed closed his eyes, tears welling up in them. It was like a dream come true even though he knew all to well this was not his Nozomi…this girl looked almost just like her. Almost the same thing…but nothing was as good as the original, nothing. “You must be Edward…Alphonse has told me about you! I’m his older sister, Nozomi Heidrich…but everyone calls me Zomi…” The girl said smiling. Edward looked at the ground. That smile…he couldn’t look at the girl in the eyes, it was too painful. He simply nodded and turned to work again not saying anything at all; memories both sad and painful came flooding into his mind, as he worked, not on the rockets but on fighting tears. “Are you alright?” Zomi asked looking down at Edward who looked up and gave her a pained smile. She gave him the strangest look and sighed. “Do you need some help then?” She asked suddenly. Ed shook his head and looked back at the rocket, which was half together in a pile of parts. He heard Zomi give a snort behind him. “You look like you’re having trouble.” She said in that same teasing voice that Nozomi often used with him. Ed sighed, stood up, and marched off.

Wings Of Hope Chapter 3: About You “Really? So Edward is always like that?” Trisha asked as she and Alphonse walked through the Carnival. Alphonse nodded and looked at Trisha who laughed. “Wow…that’s strange…” She said and then sighed looking at the ground. From what she had figured, Alphonse was a great person. He was really nice, he was smart and on top of that, he seemed to know how to make her smile at all times. “I can’t wait to see the rocket go off!” She said grinning as she and Alphonse turned a corner. “So…tell me more about yourself.” Alphonse said with a short smile, he looked from Trisha to the ground and back, quickly, with a smile still on his face. “Well…I was born here in Munich…my parents were both killed by the military…and I’ve worked in the Café for two years now. But my boss always tells me that I’m really good at drawing…” Trisha said looking at the ground. “I’ve always loved to draw…I guess it’s just…something I’ve always been good at.” She said as she looked back up at Alphonse. Alphonse nodded and looked at the ground as they continued to walk through the Carnival, he was now slightly worried about Edward as he had left him by himself to put the rocket together. There wasn’t much he could say at the time; it was an important day in his life. He smiled and then looked at the ground. He was going through a lot at the time and it was a crazy day for him. Then again, everything had been crazy since he met Edward. Edward often told him stories about a place where Alchemy was more powerful and useful then the steam engine, Alphonse truly believe that Edward was either crazy or he was making these stories up. Then there was the feeling that was in his chest; it’d been there ever since he met Trisha. There was this calm feeling he had when he was with her, and all his problems didn’t seem to be problems anymore. He let out a sigh and looked up at the sky. He was worried about his sisters. Zomi wasn’t getting into much trouble with the military but she was beginning to become very famous for her musical talents. It was Nichole or Nicky, Zomi’s twin sister he was worried about. From what he heard Nicky was getting into trouble with the military quite often now. Alphonse looked at the ground. “We should get back to the rocket.” He said leading Trisha back towards the rocket, which was due to go off in a half an hour. He smiled to himself as he walked forward, by the time they got back everything should be ready. The others would have taken care of it. At least that’s what he hoped. He could only hope that’s what would happen. But deep in the pit of his stomach was a strange feeling that everything was going to go wrong, that soon, something bad was going to happen. He let out a huge sigh and nodded to himself again. Hopefully that wouldn’t happen and maybe he wouldn’t have to worry anymore. Things seemed to be working out of him at the moment and maybe they would keep working for him. Alphonse’s timing was right again as they reached the sight that was set up for the rocket’s launch. He looked around and walked over to Edward who had returned and was now sitting near the rocket. He was about to walk over but Zomi tackled him to the ground. He pushed her off, laughing. “Hey, Zomi! How are you!” He said happily looking at his older sister who gave a comforting sort of smile. “I’m great!” She said grinning and then she looked at Trisha. “Who is this?” She asked looking from Alphonse to Trisha. “OH! Zomi…this is Trisha! Trisha, this is Zomi, my older sister, well one of them.” Alphonse said brushing himself off as he looked from Trisha to Zomi and back again. “Oh! It’s very nice to meet you, Miss.” Trisha said smiling up at Zomi who nodded, smiling slightly. “Alphonse has told me a lot about you…He said you’re a good singer.” Trisha added looking at Zomi. “Oh did he now?” Zomi said with a smile as Alphonse grabbed her hand, and Trisha’s hand and pulled them off towards the rocket. “Edward? Are you staying to watch the rocket?” Alphonse asked as he reached the place that Edward was standing. He watched the boy push himself to his feet and then shake his head. “No…tell me how it goes…I’m going to go…walk around.” Edward said in a flat tone as he walked off. He waved to them over his shoulder and disappeared in the crowd.

Wings Of Hope Chapter 4: For My Dear Dear Trisha, Thank you for coming to the Carnival. It was really nice of you to come even though I had only just met you. The day of the Carnival was one of the best days of my life. I can’t believe it, one of the men their gave us this factory to work in and everything! It’s wonderful! Things are starting to look really good for us right now and what’s better is I think that Edward his starting to open up to the gypsy girl who lives with us now, Noah is her name. She is sort of strange yet she’s nice too. Anyway, some of the people we live near aren’t too happy about her staying. I have this feeling that something bad is going to happen soon, I hope it doesn’t…I still wonder what could happen. It’s been a while since I’ve seen you, well it’s really only been three days…I was wondering if you wanted to met me at the park soon. I hope you get this really soon, I miss you a lot. Sincerely, Alphonse Heidrich Dear Alphonse, I’m happy that you feel that way. I mean…it was really fun and I’m really happy that I went to the Carnival with you. And I’m happy that you guys have a factory to work in now and everything. I’m also glade that Edward is finally starting to open up to people, it’s great that he is and I’m happy for him. Can you tell him that for me? I don’t think that people would like her, I mean a lot of people are racist against the gypsies, I don’t know why though. I’ve had a feeling a lot like that too…I hope that it’s wrong as well and I will be hoping for the best. I’d be glade to meet you at the park. When do you have time off? Send me back the answer with the date and such, please. Sincerely, Trisha Evelinn Dear Trisha, Can you meet me at the park this Friday? I’m guessing that will be the day after you get this. Thanks…see you then, I hope. Sincerely, Alphonse Heidrich

Wings Of Hope Chapter 5: Rainy Day Trisha let out a small smile as she stood up and looked out the window from her bedroom. It was finally Friday and there were dark storm clouds hanging in the sky in the gloomiest of ways. She looked at herself in a mirror and smiled slightly. Her long hair was let down and her blue eyes sparkled with joy. She wore a simple sweater and a black skirt. She nodded and headed out the door with a smile on her face still as she quickly made her way to the park. It was almost 11 and if she didn’t hurry, then she would be late and that would have been any good at all. When she finally got to the park, rain had started falling lightly all around. She looked at the watch, it was 11: 15 and Alphonse still hadn’t shown but she still stood there, waiting for him in the rain. The weather was harsh as the rain started falling even harder then before and she still stood, waiting. She coughed lightly and smiled. It was cold, she was wet, and if she waited in the rain any longer she was destined to catch her death outside, in the rain, but for some reason, she simply stood there in the middle of the park. People hurried past her happily and smiling together. Many of them didn’t even seem to notice her standing there, totally wet. She gave a small sneeze and continued standing with a soft and gentle smile on her face. She looked at her watch, it was 11: 45 and Alphonse still hadn’t shown up. She raised her hand and looked through the hard rain, finally she spotted him, running towards her with an umbrella. Tears began to fill in Trisha’s eyes and she walked over to him and smiled. “I thought that…for a second…you weren’t going to show up.” She said with a small smile as she looked up at him. “I’m sorry…something came up. Have you been waiting for me out in this rain?” Alphonse asked looking down at Trisha who was very pale with a pink ting in her cheeks. Her long hair was soaking wet and her clothes looked liked they had been enlarged because of the amount of water they had taken in. He closed his eyes and led her towards a bench, sitting her down in and then taking a spot next to her. “You’re going to get sick out here.” He said letting out a sigh. He could already tell that the poor girl was getting pretty sick from standing in the cold. He pulled off his jacket and slung it over her shoulders, only getting a smile from her. She shivered and moved closer to him, leaning on his shoulder. Alphonse jumped and looked at Trisha who smiled, her eyes closed. “A-Are you ok?” Alphonse finally managed to stammer as he looked at Trisha who nodded and looked up at him with bright eyes. A strange feeling started up in Alphonse’s stomach. He looked at the ground, a blush creeping around his cheeks, as he looked down at Trisha who just sat still looking up at Alphonse. “Yeah…I’m fine.” She finally let out looking at the ground. “Alphonse…I was waiting because… I…I really wanted to see you…because I missed you and…I really like you…” She said quietly, finally looking back up at Alphonse who jumped slightly and looked at her with the sweetest smile Trisha had ever seen. “Well that’s good…because that’s what I wanted to talk to you about too.” Alphonse said standing up and kneeling in front of Trisha, pulling is arms around her; the umbrella fell to the concrete with soft clatter. “I mean…I really like you too and…” He trailed off looking at Trisha who closed her eyes leaning into his arms. “I’m really happy…that I met you…” She said letting out a soft cough before falling forward completely, she’d passed out and she had a horrible fever. Alphonse sighed pulling her up into his arms with a small smile on his face. “You need to be more careful.” He said quietly reaching for the umbrella and walking off towards the exit to the park, caring Trisha in his arms.

Wings Of Hope Chapter 6: Lost Heaven There are times when things we never expected to happen, happen and you have no control of it what so ever. The day my little brother, Alphonse, met Trisha was one of those times. Alphonse, Nicky and I were all very close when we were growing up. I helped raise my little brother, as my mother and father were never there to help me or to raise him so I did it all by myself. We were born in Germany in a small town not to far from Munich, I was always a great singer, Alphonse was always very smart and Nicky just had a way with words. We lived together for most of our lives and we thought nothing could go wrong. Then Nicky left three years ago for some strange reason, I have no clue when she just up and left us there to ourselves. Two years ago Alphonse left to go study rockets in Romania and there he met a rather strange Edward Elric who was also interested in learning about Rockets. They both started working together and this is when things became complicated. Edward would often tell Alphonse strange stories of a parallel universe where Alchemy is more useful then the steam engine, Alphonse didn’t know rather to believe theses stories were true or simply made up. On day on their way to work, Edward and Alphonse stopped by Konami Café and there Alphonse meet Trisha Evelinn who was a beautiful young girl who seemed to look much like Edward’s mother, not to mention Edward’s mother and Trisha both have the same name. It was clear that Edward had a lot on his mind at the time and it showed on his face as he walked out of the café, leaving Alphonse who invites Trisha to the Traveling Carnival the next day to see the rocket that Alphonse and Edward had been working on. This was just a rumor but I had heard that around that time the Fuher, or Adolph Hitler was trying to bring Germany out of the poverty brought by W.W.I. At the same time, the Thule Society was trying to connect with Shambhala, this mythical parallel universe and acquire their power to fight the war. Of course this was to gain the trust of the Fuher. The Thule Society was lead by a woman named Dietlinde Eckhart who claimed to be helping the Nazis to over throw the German government buy finding this Shambhala and using it’s power as a weapon of war. I never thought something so horrible would happen to Alphonse. He had good intentions and that was to prove to the world that worth of the German scientists by creating the first rocket that you could ride in. Several men that are working with Eckhart saw how well crafted Alphonse’s rocket was and they decided to give them money, a place to work so they could create a rocket that could successfully transport them to Shambhala. I can’t believe that woman was using my brother! It was horrible! Not only this but Eckhart also had a strange idea that Noah, a girl Edward and Alphonse help, and Edward himself held the secrets to successfully getting to Shambhala. I don’t know if Alphonse knew he was being used…but I could only hope that things would get better from there on out. ((By the way that was a recap of things I haven't covered and it's being told by Zomi/Nozomi Heidrich's point of veiw.))

Wings Of Hope Chapter 7: Winding Road “Trisha? Trisha!” Alphonse’s voice echoed through the warehouse, he stood with the phone at his ear, waiting. “Please pick up the phone…” He said letting out a sharp and somewhat worried sigh. Suddenly another voice answered on the other line. “Hello? Evelinn Family, this is Trisha speaking.” Came Trisha’s soft voice from the phone. Alphonse felt over relieved to hear her voice at the time. He smiled and nodded to the men around her as if to tell them she had picked up. Trisha laughed, “Hello…Who’s there?” She asked giggling. “Trisha, it’s me, Alphonse!” Alphonse said in a quick and rushed voice, he was giving up time that he needed for working on the rocket. “How are you doing? I’ve been really worried about you!” He exclaimed above the noise from the warehouse. “Listen…Edward and I got into a fight about Noah and well…” Alphonse started coughing horribly. “Alphonse!? Alphonse you shouldn’t be working with a cough like that!” Trisha said with a worried tone to her voice. “Are you alright?” She quickly asked letting out a sigh as Alphonse stopped coughing. “I’m fine…I promise…” Alphonse said, “I’m almost done with the rocket…then we’ll be fine…this is my greatest work! I hope you get time to visit the warehouse in the next few days…I mean…we should be due to launch soon.” He said with a soft smile. “Please be careful…” Trisha said, a hint of worry in her voice as she spoke. “I’m really worried about you…especially with a cough like that, don’t push yourself, promise?” Trisha said softly. “I promise…but remember that I need you to be extra careful…something tells me that something bad might happen…I’m confused and I don’t know what I should do…whatever choice I make you’ll support me, right?” Alphonse asked hoping that Trisha would promise that she would support him fully no matter what. “I promise I’ll always support you…no matter what, 100%.” Trisha said with a large smile on her face. “No matter what happens…I’ll always be right here…just give me a call if you ever need me.” She said in a quiet tone. “I will…well…I have to go! Talk to you later! Please be careful! Bye!” Alphonse said hanging up the phone as someone rushed over and whispered something into his ear. Alphonse gasped. “N-N-N-No………This cant be happening………N-N-N-Not N-N-N-N-Nicky!” He said, his eyes wide with sorrow. “I’m sorry guys! I have to go!” He said standing up and darting out of the warehouse. It was horrible, they had killed her the military had killed Nicky for no reason. Alphonse sighed as he continued to run and finally came to a stop in front of Nicky’s house and hit the door. Two officers walked out and Alphonse gasped. “You…you really did…kill her…didn’t you…” he said looking at the ground in a horribly heartbroken way. He closed his eyes and took off running in a random direction. His eyes filling with tears as he came to a stop and fell to his knees. “Dearest Nicky, my little baby sister, I couldn’t protect you this time…I’m sorry Nicky…I promised that I would keep you safe for as long as you lived but…now here I am and you died and I couldn’t protect you at all. I guess that you never really know how much someone means to you until you can’t see their smile any longer… When you can’t hold them close. I was a horrible big brother to you…I was never there for you and I was always putting you down but no matter what you still loved me…I’m sorry little Nicky…Please forgive me…I know now that you are in a place where you will be loved and needed and taken care of.” He whispered, his eyes closed, tears streaming down his pale face. He curled up into a ball against the nearest wall and just sat there, crying as rain began to fall out of the sky. “Alphonse…please don’t cry.” Muttered a voice. Alphonse stood up and his eyes landed on Zomi who was dressed in all black, the rain-washing over her tearstained face. “I know you’re sorry that you couldn’t help Nicky but…you don’t have to cry…please don’t cry.” She whispered, tears about to run down her own face. Alphonse stood up and hugged Zomi tightly. “I can’t believe they killed her! Zomi! Why did they have to kill our little Nicky!?” He yelled not knowing what else to do. He couldn’t take the pain from being alone anymore. He sighed and looked up at Zomi who smiled. “Don’t worry about it…” She whispered patting Alphonse’s head as she walked him to the warehouse to get his things then she took him home, still trying to comfort him and not cry all at the same time. “Nicky…I know that this is what you would have wanted…to die for what you believed in…thank you…for everything…” She whispered. Alphonse ran to the phone and dialed Trisha. “Trisha!” He yelled into the phone, tapping his foot impatiently, fighting the urge to start sobbing into the phone. “Alphonse? Is that you?” Came Trisha’s voice form the other end of the phone, she sounded tiered and totally out of breath. “Trisha! It’s horrible! The military…they killed Nicky because she was trying to stand up for what she thought she should…” Alphonse said trying to keep a level head as he talked to Trisha. “Oh…that’s horrible…I’m so sorry…I really am, Alphonse.” Trisha whispered, a hit of worry and sorrow in her voice. “I really am…you must be so upset…” She said quietly. “I have to go! I’m sorry! Talk you to you soon!” She said and then suddenly hung up the phone.

Wings Of Hope Chapter 8: Broken Wings There was a sharp clash from Trisha’s kitchen as the girl let out a sharp sigh. She was making lunch and then she would go and visit Alphonse but the whole making lunch part of the plan wasn’t going very well, Trisha sighed, her thoughts once again landing on Alphonse. The poor thing had been going through a lot, his younger sister had died, he was being over worked and everything. In Trisha’s opinion the only thing she could do was go and see the launch with him. She hurried through her lunch and then stood up grabbing her things and darting out the door, ramming into someone a few feet outside her door. “OH! I’m so sorry did I run into you?” Trisha asked looking up at the lady that she had hit. “Zomi?” She asked noticing the girl’s vibrant blue eyes. “Trisha?” Zomi asked looking down at Trisha, “Where are you going off to in such a hurried rush?” She asked with a small smile as she looked down at Trisha who felt her face flush red. “I’m going to the launch as I’m allowed…top secrete…can’t get in unless you were invited.” Zomi said finally after not hearing Trisha answer. “Oh…R-really…” Trisha said giving Zomi a rather upset look. “Oh…ok then…” She said turning to walk back towards her house but felt Zomi’s arm hold her back. “Who said that you couldn’t go…you can get in with me…but we might want to hurry or we’ll be late…” Zomi said with a small smile on her face as she led Trisha off towards the warehouse somewhat quickly, picking up her pace as she walked so they moved faster towards the warehouse. “Zomi was coming…I hope…” Alphonse muttered in a worried tone as he looked around only seeing the familiar faces of the people he had always worked with. He sighed and continued to work on preparing the rockets. Many thoughts running through his head, there were so many things that could go wrong. He closed his eyes tightly and sighed looking around carefully and then back at the rocket in front of him. There wasn’t much commotion as Trisha and Zomi finally entered the building, both of them looking around carefully. Zomi walked in a different direction then Trisha who slowly made her way to the area with all the rockets, her eyes filling with tears as she walked, something was bugging her, a memory that wasn’t her’s. She looked up at the rockets with confidence as she walked quickly. Zomi closed her eyes and looked at the ground walking slowly. “The times in our lives…those childhood ties…as all hope dies…things ahead only lies…” She whispered to herself as she walked. She had a strange feeling in the pit of her stomach that something bad would happen. She sighed deeply as she looked at the ground, moving a bit faster now, but not much faster, her eyes landed on Edward and she gasped at the sight in front of her. There was a huge green dragon holding a man in its teeth and the man just so happened to be Edward’s father. There was a sharp silence and suddenly the dragon’s teeth bit down harder, killing the man in its teeth. Zomi let out a scream of fear and Edward spun around and covered his ears running off. The sharp sound of gunfire echoed through the warehouse and Edwards was soon seen falling towards the ground, towards Trisha, Alphonse and the rockets. At the split second many rockets and jets started taking off for the ceiling that had been turned into a portal to Edward’s home world of Amestris. Alphonse spotted Trisha who was several feet in front of him. They both caught Edward and then Alphonse looked at Trisha who closed her eyes. “What now?” She asked. “Trisha…I’m thankful for the things that you have done for me…I couldn’t be more thankful of this and…I want you to know that…I really do love you…” Alphonse said looking at Trisha. “But…I have a feeling this is something I have to do…I’m sorry…” He started strapping Edward into one of the rockets. Edward groaned and finally woke up. “What are you doing!? Alphonse! What’s happening!?” He yelled trying to break free of Alphonse’s grasp but it was useless as he was already strapped in nice and tightly. Alphonse slowly let his arms drop to his sides and he gave Trisha and Edward one last look, as if he knew that something horrible was bound to happen to him all because of his one mistake. “It was wrong of my to work for this woman…she was evil…and she hurt you all…I’m sorry you two…I really…truly…am…” He muttered raising his arm and pulling the leaver sending Edward blasting off with the other rockets. The force of the rocket taking off knocked Trisha out and she fell backwards, hitting her head on the floor. A smile came across Alphonse’s face and then. Another echoing blast of gunfire shot through the warehouse and the bullet that was shot hit Alphonse right in the chest, breaking through his ribs and killing him almost immediately. “Edward! Take me with you!” Yelled the voice of Noah who was standing up near the portal, screaming for Edward to take her with him. Zomi walked over to her and placed her hand on Noah’s shoulder. “Please do not cry…or yell…this is what was meant to happen…” She whispered quietly as she looked at the ground and noticed Alphonse lying in a pool of blood far below her. Zomi let out a terrified shriek as she ran down the stairs and skidded to a halt at her brother’s side. “NO! Alphonse!” She screamed pulling him into her arms. “My dearest brother! Don’t die! This can’t be happening…no…please…I’m just dreaming…aren’t I…” She muttered and placed her hand on her brother’s back feeling the warm blood flow through her fingers. Tears began to well up in the young girl’s eyes as she pulled her little brother close to her chest, cradling him in her eyes tears streaming down her face. “I’ve always been their for you…I’ve always been their to protect you…I raised you…you mean more to me then anything…and now you’re gone…I can’t believe this…Alphonse!” She screamed holding Alphonse’s limp body close to her. “I love you…I love you more then anything in the world…thank you for everything…please don’t forget me wherever it is that you go in death…I’ll never forget you! Never! I promise! Never…” Zomi said tears still flowing freely down her cheeks. “Don’t forget…Alphonse…” She whispered closing her eyes tightly. “Because I never will…Never…”

Wings Of Hope Chapter 9: Find Your Wings The sun rose over the dark and gloomy horizon. Trisha slowly got out of her bed and sighed looking around, tears coming to her eyes again. She hadn’t gotten much sleep but there was a reason for that. She fought the tears and managed to keep them from streaming down her face once more as she slowly ran a brush through her long brown hair. Her hand fell down to her dresser and she grabbed something, the ribbon she had worn in her hair the day she met Alphonse. She slowly tied the ribbon up into her hair and closed her eyes and then looked at the ground finding a long dark blue and black dress which she put on slowly. Trisha sighed and continued with her morning, skipping lunch, as she got ready. It wasn’t just any day, it was the day of Alphonse’s funeral, and tears began to fill in Trisha’s eyes once more. He had just died and she couldn’t save him…but then he said that that was what he wanted. Trisha closed her eyes and looked at the ground. There was a sudden knock on the door and then they people who stood outside pushed it open and the first person Trisha said was Edward who was dressed in black, the second person was Noah who was dressed in a long white dress, the third was a boy that Trisha had never seen before but he had a strange resemblance to Alphonse, the fourth was Zomi who wore a long, elegant black gown. “Trisha…are you alright?” Edward asked looking at Trisha who looked at the ground simply, tears blurring her vision yet she nodded and started out the door without showing any sign of weakness. She wouldn’t…not in front of Edward and Noah and the others. She just couldn’t. “Trish…this is Al…Al this is Trish…well her name is Trisha but…” Edward trailed off. “It’s nice to meet you, Miss.” Al said looking at Trisha who just walked pass him not able to look at him in the eye. She knew how Edward felt when he was around her…the pain of seeing someone you loved within someone else. She started walking faster and soon reached to graveyard. It was really rather green and pretty for a graveyard. Trisha shut her eyes tightly and then opened to see how many people were there, she knew that it wasn’t just for Alphonse but for the others who had died that night…for Edward and Al’s dad. Trisha sighed and looked at the ground. “Can everyone please stand up and bow your heads for these brave men who have died to serve Germany.” Said the strong voice the man who stood up in front of everyone. Everyone bowed their heads and stood up. Trisha stood apart from the crowd, tears streaming down her face as the man at the front read off a list of names, there were only a few but they were very important people to the country. “Alphonse Heidrich.” The man called out last. The other ceremonies were held before Alphonse’s. During all of them Trisha sat down in a lonely corner, no one seemed to care that Alphonse had died, no one but her that was. Finally most of the others had cleared away and the only ones left were the few their for Alphonse. Trisha stood up and sat with the crowd, tears still rolling down her face. “Why did he have to die…” She asked herself. “I’d never felt that way before in my life.” She said quietly looking around. Someone put a hand on her shoulder. She looked up. “Are you alright?” Al asked sitting down next to Trisha, a soft and gentle smile on his face. Trisha looked at the ground and sighed not being able to look at Al who was still smiling. “I heard that…you loved this Alphonse Heidrich…That’s what my brother told me…” Al said looking at Trisha who nodded sadly. “My brother has to live every day of his life without someone that he loves…Her name was Nozomi…and she looked just like Zomi…” Al said nodding. “I don’t know what it’s like…to be separated from someone you love…well…I guess to tell the truth I do…but…I can’t believe that he died for my brother like that…this Alphonse H. must have been a great person…” Al said with a small smile. “He was the sweetest guy I’ve ever meant…” Trisha said with a small smile. “And you know what…I don’t think that he’d want me to be sad about him dieing…I mean…I do miss him…more then anything but…something tells me Alphonse wouldn’t want me to be so sad about this…he use to always tell me…he loved my smile…” Trisha broke off and started crying harder then before. “He had the sweetest smile I’ve ever seen…” She said quietly. “You have no idea how much I miss him…” Trisha muttered. Al looked at the ground. “Your right…I don’t…and…you know…he’ll never truly leave you if you keep him in your heart…that’s what Nozomi would tell you.” Al sighed and looked around. “I understand why my brother loves Nozomi…she’s such a great person…” Al sighed. “I miss her now…” He muttered. “You know…maybe…he died because he did it to make up for something else he might have done to my brother…but you want to know what else…” Al stood up and took Trisha’s hand leading her away from the rest of the crowd and smiled. “He still loves you…and I always will.” Al said. Trisha watched in amazement, either she was dreaming or she was crazy but…there was a dim flash of light and standing in front of her was no longer Alphonse Elric, but it was Alphonse Heidrich. Alphonse smiled. “I’ll always be with you…you just can’t forget about me.” He said kissing Trisha lightly, “Promise not to forget about me, do ya promise, Trisha?” He asked. Trisha’s eyes were welling up with tears. “I promise Alphonse…” She said hugging him tightly not letting go. “Please don’t forget about me either!” She added looking up at him. Alphonse gave her on of his great smiles. “I wont forget…” He said pulling something out of his pocket and handing it to Trisha. “I can’t forget…Trisha…I love you…” He said hugging Trisha tightly. Trisha nodded and fell to her knees seeing a dim flash of light and the original Al Elric was right in front of her again. Trisha looked at the stone and sighed. “As long as you love me, wear this necklace and you’re thoughts and wishes and dreams will soar to me on Wings Of Hope.” She read looking at the inscription. “My dreams will soar to you on Wings Of Hope…Alphonse…I won’t ever forget you and I promise…I’ll always love you…” She muttered and looked at the sky. “Wings Of Hope…” She muttered holding the necklace close to her chest. Let Your Dreams Soar On Wings Of Hope

Wishing Star Chapter 1: Everything Changes Dearest brother where did you go? I’ve lost my will, Hit all time low I try to hide, these tears that cry Even though I know they still show It was a day like any other for Colonel Roy Mustang. He was feeling ok, Riza had filled several reports for him, and Edward Elric, the Little Fullmetal Alchemist, Had yelled the Colonel’s poor ears off. But once again the little runt would get over his failure, he always did. This time, however, his failure was not that the lead was wrong; it was that he couldn’t find the person the lead pointed to. “Don’t tell me you don’t know who I’m talking about Mustang! She’s supposed to be part of your division!” Yelled the infuriated blonde boy known to many as Edward Elric; his golden eyes shimmered in the light as he glared up at Colonel Mustang. “I never said that…I think that the person the rumors are talking about might be Major Cunia. You said you wanted to see her notes and ask her a few questions…I’m not sure she’ll be ok with that.” The Colonel said in his usual, calm tone, his dark eyes watched Edward carefully. “Major Cunia…I’ve heard of her! The Military’s Wishing Star. The Second Youngest State Alchemist, The Solar Alchemist!” Said the voice of a 10-year-old boy. The source was a man or a very tall boy in a suit of armor, known to most as Alphonse Elric. “That’s right, Alphonse, Major Nozomi Ayanna Cunia, The Solar Alchemist.” Roy said sighing, “Riza could you please give Edward and Alphonse more information on Solar and could you tell us her current location?” He asked looking over his shoulder at Lieutenant Riza Hawkeye. “Yes, Sir! She specializes in crystal and stone based alchemy, having been one of the three people to ever create what is known as The Sun Stone.” Riza said looking at Ed and Al, about to continue only to be cut of by Al. “Really…The Sun Stone…you mean one of those gems the absorb and store the sun’s energy in it’s core? I heard she made one of those but I didn’t think it was true…I heard that the first Sun Stone was a result of an alchemist trying to create the Philosopher’s Stone.” He said looking up at Riza who nodded ready to continue. “She is also one of the few people that can use Solar Alchemy, the others being the members of her family.” Riza said and was cut of once more by one of the Elric brothers, this time it was Ed who looked at Al and then sighed. “That would explain her nick name, the Solar Alchemist. Al, you’ve never heard of Solar alchemy have you?” Ed looked at all who shook his head. “Solar Alchemy was created by a talented alchemist, the second person to create The Sun Stone, who carved a transmutation circle into the face of the sun stone she created and in result, the wearer or holder of the stone can take to sun’s energy inside the stone and change it using Alchemy.” Ed nodded to himself, “But I didn’t know that only the people from a certain family could use it.” He added. “The creator of Solar Alchemy was a talented Alchemist named Aura Amia, who gave birth to two girls, one of them being Nozomi’s mom. The Family was well known for being able to withstand heat, and being able to understand complicated alchemy, such as Solar Alchemy which is one of the most complicated and unstable forms of Alchemy known today.” Roy said looking at Ed and Al who both nodded. “Anyway…Nozomi is suppose to be in central right now!” Riza added, finally finishing her sentence as she looked from Ed to Al to Roy and then sat down in a chair, quietly. At that moment a loud sneeze could be heard from outside Roy’s office in the hallway. **Ed quickly looked up as a girl came in and his mouth fell open slightly at the sudden shock of seeing someone look so…great in the horrible navy blue military uniforms. Her long blonde hair feel to the middle of her back and her bangs fell in her sharp, commanding, independent blue eyes. Al nudged Ed’s side, causing his brother to jump several feet into the air and nod looking at Nozomi. “Hello I’m…” His voice fell as Nozomi walked right pass him, her head held high in the air, clearly she was ignoring him. “…Edward…Elric…” Ed said looking at her. “Colonel Mustang! I have a report from Lieutenant Colonel Mustang! She says that everything is going well on her side of the city and she reluctantly thanks you for all the help. She also sent me to help you over here…with anything you needed.” Nozomi said in a loud voice. This is who Nozomi was and had been for the past year. A loyal slave dog to the two lazy, un-caring, and un-organized Mustang siblings, Roy and Ishi Mustang that’s what the Fuher told her to do and that’s what she would do until told otherwise. It was her life now…this is what Dan wanted to do…what he wanted to be…but he never got the chance…she could only hope he was proud of her. Ed looked at Nozomi seeing the confidence level on her face fall. The strong look on her face seemed to disappear and was replaced by a sad and somewhat longing look and then suddenly replaced once more by a stronger look but not as strong as before. He could only wonder what was going on in her head. Nozomi sighed and looked at Roy who nodded motioning for her to sit down. Nozomi followed Roy’s command and sat down, closing her eyes. “Excuse me…er…Major Cunia…” Ed said looking at Nozomi who looked up from her seat at Ed, finally seeming to notice that he was even in the room. “Oh! Hello! Did you say something to me earlier? Colonel Mustang who is this young boy and what is this small little boy doing in your office? Did he get himself into trouble or something?” Nozomi asked looking at Roy who grinned, fighting laughter. Ed on the other hand, jumped out of his seat. “I’M NOT SHORT!!” He screamed only to be pulled into his seat by Al who laughed, clearly embarrassed. “Major Cunia…this is Edward Elric, the Fullmetal Alchemist…” Roy said pointing at Ed who frowned. Nozomi looked at Ed and then back at Roy as if to ask if he was kidding with her, only to get a strange look from him that clearly said he wasn’t. “I was expecting the great Fullmetal Alchemist to be…a bit…older…” She said trying not to be rude and clearly trying to show respect to the boy sitting in front of her. “And you know…a little…taller…and…” She sighed, it’s not anything that she was disappointed it was more rather that she had heard horrible rumors about the Elric Brothers. “Major Cunia…is there something wrong?” Roy asked looking at Nozomi who looked from Ed to Al and then to the ground and let out a long sigh. “Yes, Sir…I’ve heard rumors about the Elric brothers…horrible rumors…about their past…that they lost their mother and never knew their father…and they committed the ultimate sin, trying to bring their mother back to life. I heard that the older brother lost his left leg in the process and that the young brother lost his entire body and then the older brother used his right arm to bring his brother’s soul back and attached to it armor…” Nozomi said quietly looking at the ground, her gaze not moving at all. Roy sighed, “Those Rumors…” Ed pulled of his red jacket and then his black vest to reveal his right arm was a solid metal prosthetic (Auto Mail.) and then pulled up his pant leg to show an auto-mail left leg. “…Are unfortunately…” Al pulled of his helmet to reveal that the armor was empty. “…True…” Nozomi gasped looking at the two. Ed closed his eyes and sighed. “I understand what we did was wrong…it was my fault…I should have stopped myself…” He said quietly looking at Al who sighed. “And why are you telling me all of this?” Nozomi asked looking at Ed and Al, “Because if you are after my notes…and my family’s studies…you aren’t going to see them…” Nozomi said looking up Ed and Al. “What are you saying? How could you be so stuck up!” Ed yelled standing up. Nozomi looked up at him as if to say she was sorry. She looked him in the eye and then gasped at what she saw; the same look of pure determination that her brother had in his eyes. She stood up and closed her eyes. “Please…Major Cunia…please can we see them…please…” Al said looking up at Nozomi, a hint of despair in his voice. Nozomi spun around and walked out of the room quickly and quietly. Ed frowned and darted after her, grabbing her arm. “I should have known that you’d be like this! You’re a true dog of the military! A selfish and horrible person! I was expecting more from Central’s Star of Hope! I was expecting more from the Military’s Wishing Star!” He yelled looking at her. Nozomi closed her eyes fighting tears that filled her eyes. “I’m sorry…I guess…that you can…” She said and with that she walked off, turning a corner and disappearing. Ed walked back into the room and sat down. “Fullmetal…did you know…that the only time that anyone in the military has seen Nozomi smile…was the day that she joined. Her name is solar because of that smile…not just her alchemy…but her smile is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.” Roy muttered looking at Ed, “It’s bright…just like the sun…” “Thank you, Colonel Mustang…” Ed said flatly. “Al…let’s go.” He added walking towards the door. “Brother…what’s wrong?” Al asked looking at Ed was they walked out of the office door. “I saw something…She lost someone…it’s sad…the look in her eyes.” Ed said as he walked down the hall. Al nodded. “We’re going to her house tomorrow…” Ed added and then fell quiet, not making another sound as he and Al walked. Sister Dear, I’m still right here Remember that I love you that I’m always near I’ll never forget the pain you were in Locked away in silent tears
**Note: This is not meant for Nozomi to sound like a perfectly made character…please don’t think anything like that…please…

Wings Of Hope Chapter 2: Never Alone Watch her standing all alone I think that it’s time, I think that I know Never to smile, sorrows that show No longer alive, a sorrow that roams
“Brother are you sure about this? I mean what if it’s all just a trick?” Al said looking over at Ed as they walked towards Nozomi’s rather large house. He looked around carefully. “Sure I am! Nozomi wouldn’t trick us! She’s not like the other military dogs. I’m sure this will all work out.” Ed said as they reached the front door and he knocked on if hard, holding his head up high and tall. The door flung open and standing in the doorway was a tall man who towered over Ed. Ed looked up at the man and sort of shrunk down slightly, a slightly frightened look on his face. “H-Hi…you must be…Nozomi’s Father? Her Brother?” Ed said looking up at the man. “Father!? Brother!?” The man said as he broke into laughter. “Heck no! You must be that little Fullmetal Runt that Nozomi was talking about yesterday! I’m Nick, her boyfriend.” Nick said looking down at Ed, whose eyes grew wide as he looked up at Nick. “I’m not a runt.” Ed said, his shoulder’s slouching over and his voice seeming to show that his confidence level had dropped. Al looked at Ed and then sighed looking back at Nick. “Come in…Nozomi told me that you’d be coming…” Nick said looking from Ed to Al and opening the door so Al walked in and then moved in the way when Ed started to come in. Nick dropped so he was eyelevel with Ed and frowned. “Don’t you dare try to make a move on Nozomi…She’s my woman and face it, Runt…she’s way out of your league.” Nick growled in a hushed voice so that Al wouldn’t hear. “Alphonse! Where is Edward?” Came Nozomi’s voice. “Nick! Is Edward still outside or did he just leave his poor brother here?” She said walking up behind Nick who quickly stood up and looked at Nozomi. “Oh! He’s right here! I was just talking to Ed.” He said, throwing a glance over his shoulder to was Ed was standing, Nick moved out of the way and Ed walked in falling into a chair, clearly upset. “Well, dearest little sunshine…I have to go…” Nick said hugging Nozomi. Ed watched this all carefully and noticed on thing. Nozomi didn’t seem to care if he was leaving or not, she just stood there and waved, halfheartedly before closing the door and walking off into the house again. Al looked at Ed. “What’s wrong, brother?” He asked, sitting down slowly, clearly he could tell that Ed was very upset by something that had happened. “It’s nothing…” Ed said letting out a long and painful sort of sigh. He looked up as Nozomi walked back in with a ton of papers and books stacked up in her hands, and, as if Ed could see the future, he jumped up and dove to catch her as she slipped and fell backwards. “I’m…Thank you…Edward…” Nozomi said looking up at Ed as she pushed herself to her feet and started gathering her papers. “This is the research of my Grandmother, My Mother, My Brother and some of it is mine…” Nozomi said handing the papers to Ed and Al. “Feel free to ask for anything…” She added as she turned and walked off, muttering something to herself. Ed handed the papers to Al and grabbed something at the bottom of the stack. It was a little white book that was burnt on the edges. Ed stood up and followed Nozomi quietly but lost track of her after a while. “I waited for you today…but you didn’t show………I needed you today…so where did you go? You told me to call…Said you’d be there…and though I haven’t seen you…are you still there?” He heard Nozomi’s soft and sad voice from a few rooms. “I cried out with no reply…and I can't feel you by my side…so I'll hold tight to what I know…you're here and I’m never alone…” Ed looked over his shoulder, making sure Al wasn’t following him and he pushed open the door that Nozomi’s voice was coming from. It was much like a sunroom with a lot of windows and such. Ed’s sharp eyes looked around and landed on Nozomi who was sitting in one of the corners, the sunlight from the windows illuminating her tearstained face, she quickly looked up and then tried to hide her tears. “Nozomi…what’s wrong?” Ed asked as he walked slowly over to the corner she was sitting in and sat down next to her. “I know that something’s wrong…I can see it in your eyes…” He said quietly. “Like you’d understand…You still have your family.” Nozomi said turning away from Ed who gave her a strange before staring out the window. “Nozomi…” Ed started looking at Nozomi who closed her eyes pulling her legs into her chest, not looking at him. “My entire family is dead…I have no one left…my mom and Dad died when they were researching in Xenotime and my brother died…because he was really sick and he tried to bring mom and dad back and the house was lit on fire and I have no home left to go to…I have no one I can talk to anymore.” Nozomi cried. “What about Nick?” Ed asked looking at Nozomi who sighed. “He doesn’t matter anymore…no…he never did…I just couldn’t say no when he asked…I don’t love him and I never have…Edward…I’ve never really loved someone other then my family…and my friends back in Dublith.” Nozomi said in a hushed voice, “I just don’t know how to tell him that.” Ed looked at Nozomi and sighed. “I understand.” He said looking at the ground. “Nozomi…I do understand how you feel…well sort of…I mean…even if it was a short few seconds…there was a time that I didn’t have Al and the only thing that mattered at that time was getting him back…I thought I lost him and if I didn’t get him back…I don’t know where I’d be right now.” He said and looked at Nozomi looked like she was about to burst into tears. “Nozomi…don’t cry…” Ed muttered pulling an arm around Nozomi’s shoulders. Nozomi froze in her spot looking at Ed, clearly not expecting him to hug her or for him to do anything of the sort. “Nozomi…is it true…that the only time anyone in the Military has seen you smile was the day you got in…” Ed asked looking at Nozomi who shivered. “Yes…there’s nothing left for me to smile about in life.” She said. “There’s nothing I can smile about…” She muttered not looking at Ed anymore. Ed let out a long sigh. “I found this.” He muttered pulling out the white book from his pocket. “It was with the papers of research. I guess you can’t really move on…can you? I saw the pictures in there. Al said that your brother had the same spark in his eyes that I do…is that what changed your mind yesterday?” Ed asked opening the little white book and sighing looking at the picture of a boy who had sharp blue eyes and brown hair, he stood with a younger looking Nozomi and who clearly must have been their mom and dad. “Yes…” Nozomi said quietly as Ed looked at the pictures in the book. He turned the page again and landed on a picture of Nozomi standing on an island with a woman who had black hair and dark eyes, with them as a strong looking man, a younger looking man and Nozomi’s brother. Nozomi had a huge smile on her face. “You know…you’re smile is beautiful…Roy was right…it’s very bright and happy.” Ed said looking at Nozomi. “Just like the sun…” He said quietly, looking at the picture. Nozomi’s eyes grew wide. She felt something that she hadn’t ever felt before. A warm feeling, almost like she could just sit there with this boy for the rest of her life. She closed her eyes tightly and then opened them looking at Ed who was still staring down at the book, a soft smile on his face. “BROTHER!” Came Al’s frightened voice followed by a loud crash and the sound of Nick yelling. Ed shot up and closed the book quietly reaching down to Nozomi offering her his hand and then looking her in the eye. “Nozomi…this is the time to tell Nick off…do you trust me?” He asked looked at her carefully and smiled softly. Nozomi looked up at Ed and closed her eyes taking his hand. “I trust you…” She said nodding as Ed smiled broadly and turned to the door not letting to of her hand as he lead her to the front room. “Brother!! Nozomi!!” Al yelled looking up when he spotted Ed and Nozomi walk into the room. Nick also looked up at the two and growled, moving from in front of Al whose armor was dented horribly. Nick’s eyes landed on Nozomi and Ed’s hands and he growled running over to Nozomi. “Traitor!” He yelled throwing a punch right at her chest. Nozomi winced in pain and fell forward. Ed threw out his arm and caught her before looking up and glaring at Nick. “Don’t touch her!” He yelled clapping his hands and placing his left hand on his right, a large blade came out of his auto mail and he pointed hit at Nick who reached to his side and pulled out two guns, placing one at Ed’s forehead and the other at Nozomi. “One of you moves…the other dies…or one of you moves and you both die.” He said and then glared at Nozomi. “And none of your little Alchemical tricks!” He added. Nozomi looked at Nick and then at Ed. She closed her eyes, tears running down her face. “I’m sorry.” She mouthed looking at Ed, “I’m so sorry.” She repeated. There was a quick burst of light that sent Nick flying backwards and against a wall knocking him out, Nozomi fell backwards onto the ground and Ed dove to catch her again and looked down at her. “There’s nothing you did…why are you sorry?” He asked closing his eyes and holding her tight. Al walked over and looked down at his brother before pulling him to his feet and taking Nozomi in his own arms. “Come on, Brother, we should go tell the Colonel.” He said. Ed nodded looking at Nozomi following Al out the door with a small smile on his face. He looked up at Al and nodded slightly before looking back at Nozomi and watched as a smile came across her face. Ed broke into a smile as he continued walking.
