Take a Bow

Chapter Five

All the world is a stage.

World is a stage.

And everyone has their part.

Has their part.

But how was I to know which way the story'd go?

How was I to know you'd break...

You'd break...

You'd break...

You'd break...

You'd break my heart?

Alphonse knocked on Roy's door three times before Edward opened it and invited him in. Roy was still sleeping and Al sat in one of the four kitchen chairs as Edward made coffee. "So how did you do it?" Edward asked as he took out the sugar and the creamer, putting them on the table. "Did what?" Alphonse asked, confused. Edward smiled and looked up at his younger brother.

Alphonse realized that Edward recognized him, not as a stranger, but as a brother he knew for years. "How did you get your body back?" Alphonse felt tears stinging his eyes, before Ed knew it, Alphonse was clinging to him crying. Edward held his brother. "Shhh, it's okay. I'm sorry I couldn't help you." Edward said, petting Alphonse's short hair. Edward felt Alphonse shake his head no and mumble. "It's not your fault. It was an accident." Alphonse sobbed and stuttered over the words, the letter's a, o, and u were difficult to make out as Alphonse cried.

Roy came down stairs and smiled at the two blonde boys. He turned off the coffee and poured a cup for each of them. He felt slightly jealous as Alphonse refused to let go of the elder Elric as he tried to drink his coffee. Edward wrinkled his nose. "I really don't see how you could drink that good coffee with that disgusting creamer in it." Ed could feel Alphonse body shake as he and Roy laughed.

Soon as days went by things went to normal. Well as normal as anything could be for the Fullmetal Alchemist. Alphonse asked him if he wanted to get his own limbs back and Edward said no, and that he didn't need them really. "Besides, you and Winry wouldn't be able to live with out me with Automail, Winry gets all her money off of me." Alphonse laughed and agreed.

Edward decided to live with Roy, like he did in the past. Alphonse felt sad and a bit jealous at the fact that Ed picked Roy over living with him and Winry, but he understood why. They loved each other and that wasn't going to change anything. Ed never did quit the military, but instead made his goal to help make Roy the Furher. Ed went on missions, short ones anyway. Roy could hardly stand it when Ed was gone for a full month. They lived happily.

Winry and Al got married two years after Ed's full recovery. Ed held the ring and gave it to Al as Al slipped it on Winry's hand. They kissed and Ed caught the dozen white Roses that were laced together by a ribbon. Roy smiled and kissed Ed on the cheek. "I guess we're getting married next, Edo-Chan." Everyone laughed. Edward smiled, he was truly happy now. I guess going to sleep for 4 years wasn't that bad... Edward hugged Roy as he watched his brother and Winry leave for their honeymoon. "I guess it wouldn't be that bad to be married to a bastard like you." Edward said to Roy with a smile.

Roy laughed and kissed the small alchemist.

"I love you, Ed."

"I love you, too. Roy."

Take a bow.

The night is over.

This masquerade is getting older.

Lights are low, the curtains down.

There's no one here.

There's no one here, there's no one in the crowd.

Say your lines, but do you feel them?

Do you mean what you say when there's no one around?

No one around.

Watching you, watching me, one lonely star.

One lonely star, you don't know who you are.

I've always been in love with you,

Always with you.

I guess you've always known it's true.

You know it's true.

You took my love for granted, why? Oh why?

The show is over, say good-bye.

Say good-bye, bye bye, Say good-bye.

Make them laugh, it comes so easy.

When you get to the part,

Where you're breaking my heart.

Breaking my heart.

Hide behind your smile,

All the world loves a clown.

Just make 'em smile the whole world loves a clown.

Wish you well, I cannot stay.

You deserve an award for the role that you played.

Role that you played.

No more masquerade, you're one lonely star.

I've always been in love with.

Always with you.

I guess you've always known it's true.

You know it's true.

You took my love for granted, why? Oh why?

The show is over say good-bye.

Say good-bye. Bye bye. Say good-bye.

All the world is a stage.

World is a stage.

And everyone has their part.

Has their part.

How was I to know you'd break...

You'd break...

You'd break...

You'd break...

You'd break my heart.

I've always been in love with you.

I've always been in love with you.

Guess you've always known.

You took my love for granted, why? Oh why?

The show is over say good-bye.

I've always been in love with.

Always with you.

I guess you've always known it's true.

You know it's true.

You took my love for granted, why? Oh why?

The show is over say good-bye.

Bye bye.

Say good-bye.

Say good-bye.
