"We'll see you again, I'm sure of it." I said, brushing tears out of my eyes. The time had finally come to return to Amestris. And since trains only leave there once every two weeks, it was now, or never.

Rena's face had long since spilled over with tears, and I wasn't certain if I would actually have to pick her up and put her on the train. Right now currently, she had embraced Lucky into a rib-shatering hug, and refused to let go until the little girl promised to come see her every few months.

"Hey," I jump as Axis climbs down the side of the train, half of his hair blowing awkwardly in the wind. "The train conductor said he'd give us five more minutes, but if you ask me, sounds like he's getting on the pissy side."

I thank him, and pratically barrel into Rena.

She's still squeezing the life out of Lucky.

"We have to go in five minutes," I whisper, brushing the side of her golden hair softly. "You might want to wrap things up."

More tears spilled out of her eyes as she nodded.

It made me want to go and yell at the train conductor and tell him that we should have as much freaking time as we want. But, I knew after that, when we boarded the train, he'd probably kick us out into the sandy cloud of a desert.

Better be safe then sorry.

I give Lucky a quick hug, since she's rubbing her rib-cage gingerly, wincing slightly as Rena steers around her to say goodbye to Iaso.

"Next time you pick up something like that, don't include me," I hiss into the nine year old's ear. She chuckled nervously before throwing a glance over her shoulder.

"Train conductor man says it's time for us to leave, and if we ask for anymore time he's personally going to take our heads clean off our shoulders," Rena recited, clutching something in a white cloth.

I smile tightly, glancing back at Lucky and Iaso, who are waving happily.

I climbed on board, taking a seat next to Rena. The train starts chugging, slowly at first, then slowly gaining speed.

"BYE!"

I whip my head around to see Lucky waving from the small abandoned train station. Iaso is beside her, grabbing ahold of her shoulders to keep her from running.

I wave back half-heartedly, the sand is already starting to puff up around the tracks, and it's hard to breath.

I shut the window with a snap, glancing back at Axis, who is respecting us girls prviacy and banging his head repeatedly against a wall. Oh well.

"What's in the cloth?" I ask.

Almost an hour has gone past and I'm getting desperate for soem sort of conversation.

"I don't know."

I made a strangled sound. What?

She unwrapped the cloth carfully, folding each side down. In the middle was a ton of pictures, resting peacefully white side up.

She grabs a few of the photos, turning them up, and her face glows like a light bulb. She's happy.

"Look."

I turn the pictures towards me. There was one where Rena was playfully tugging at Iaso's hair, while he shot her pure venom, and another where Iaso had oushed her down into the mud. There was one with me included, a smiley face reffering a wrestling match between the two.

We continued to look at the pictures all the way home.

I laughed abruptly, sighing heavily.

"What?"

"I never got a cat named Lilac."

Well, that's the end. I know, not exactly Rena X Iaso, ALL IN YOUR FACE, but it certainly was fluff. Also, if you recall, in chapter 2, Sam states that she wants a cat named Lilac. She never gets one.

~ If you want to know something intresting, Rena's disease in this story is what we know call Lukemia.
