The Missing Pieces to the Puzzle
Chapter 2
~Alex POV~
"So Alphonse has Edward manned up and asked Winry out yet?" I asked Alphonse as I set a muffin in front of him.
"I don't believe so." Said Alphonse with a thinking face
"Those two will most likely be kissing in the rain by the end of the week. How long are you guys staying here for?"
"A couple of weeks. Just until I get my strength back. Why are you wearing gloves? You used to hate them."
I moved my automail arm behind my back. "Oh you don't remember…"
"What happened, Alex?"
"I tried to bring my dad back. I lost my arm and Benny lost his leg from the ankle down. It was stupid of us to try after what had happened to you and Edward but we just wanted our dad back." Tears filled my eyes at that memory.
"I'm so sorry to hear about that Alex." Al said while standing up.
"It's okay Al. Me and Benny are just fine and we'll live with this."
"Maybe theres another way to get your body parts back."
"But the Philosophers Stone don't you remember what it needs?"
"Humans. A sacrifice. How did you know?"
"You mentioned it in a letter. You sent that letter to me last year in December. Right before the holidays."
"Oh. So have you written any songs lately?"
"I was working on one earlier but I'm having some trouble with it."
"Can I hear what you got?"
"Sure let me grab my song book…" I walked into the living room and found Misty lying on my song book.
"Hey you silly kitty." I said lifting her up. She jumped onto my shoulder and hung on as I walked into the kitchen.
"Is that Misty?" asked Al as he pet Misty behind her ear.
"You remembered her!" I said smiling at him.
"Well she was a gift for you."
"I can't believe you remembered that. That was when you were in that suit of armor. Which those are super hard to hug!"
"Well is this better?" he hugged me. I smiled and hugged back.
We sat in silence for the next 5 minutes while I leafed through my notebook for a finished song.
"Heres one! It's pretty stupid though…"
"Well let's hear it."
(And no I didn't write this song lol."
"Well it's supposed to be for two people. Meaning it's a duet but I'll try…"
I looked and saw my brother's guitar and started playing:
"Do you hear me? I'm talking to you
Across the water across the deep blue ocean
Under the open sky, oh my, baby I'm trying
Boy I hear you in my dreams
I feel your whisper across the sea
I keep you with me in my heart
You make it easier when life gets hard
I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Ooh ooh ooh
They don't know how long it takes
Waiting for a love like this
Every time we say goodbye
I wish we had one more kiss
I'll wait for you I promise you, I will
[ Lyrics from: lyrics/j/jason_mraz_feat_colbie_ ]
I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Lucky we're in love in every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday
And so I'm sailing through the sea
To an island where we'll meet
You'll hear the music fill the air
I'll put a flower in your hair
Though the breezes through trees
Move so pretty you're all I see
As the world keeps spinning 'round
You hold me right here, right now
I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
I'm lucky we're in love in every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh"
"Some parts are meant for a guy to sing but it's good as it for now."
"That was really good. Well how about we put together a picnic lunch and call Winry and Ed and go have a lunch by the lake with them?" asked Al as he smiled at me.
I blushed slightly. "Sure. Let me go get changed." It was hot out and my clothing was way to warm for today.
"I'll call Ace as well." I nodded and walked upstairs to change. I changed into a pair of white ankle length leggings, a white and blue tunic and my combat boots. I put my jacket on and didn't bother putting gloves on. I brushed out my hair and put it into two braids piling the on top of my head.
I walked downstairs putting my locket on.
"Ready?" asked Alphonse.
"Yep, yep, yep." I made some sandwiches and put some bottled water into the basket with a bowl of fruit and a couple bottles of milk and then put napkins in and closed the basket.
"Let's get going." Said Al and we walked out of the room hand and hand just like all times.
"So is Ed still shorter than me?"
"He's still as short as ever if that's what you're asking." Said Al smiling.
I smirked and then laughed. "Well pea brain is still a pea brain. Maybe he'll drink his milk this time."
"I don't think he will. There they are."
"Hey Edward hey Winry!" I then saw Benny and Ace talking.
"Hey sis." Said Ben while hugging me.
"Hey Ben. Hey Ace."
"Hey Alex." Ace said.
"So Ben have you met any cute girls?" asked Edward.
"Well theres this one in town…" (I need an OC for that! Just one will be chosen! Age 15 please. And please no nasty personality must be female)
I smiled. He has this massive crush on this one girl in town. They went to school for a little bit but then she left for some reason. He hasn't seen her in a year.
"That's cool." Said Edward as he eyed the basket.
"Here Edward." I handed him the basket, "don't eat it all. It might make you shorter."
"WHO ARE YOU CALLING SO SHORT THAT EVEN A MICROSCOPE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO SEE HIM!" shouted Edward
"Calm down brother." Said Alphonse as he put a hand on Ed's shoulder
"Fine but this isn't it." Said Edward.
"Maybe if you drank your milk you wouldn't be short." I quipped as I took a sandwich out (I used quipped correctly right?)
"Grrr… MILK TASTES LIKE VOMIT AND I KNOW YOU KNOW WHAT VOMIT TASTES LIKE!" Ed then proceeded to chasing me in circles around the park.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo OoOoOoOo
