Returning to Ed's house: Natsuki finds her memory.

Naminea and Natsuki walk up the road towards Ed's house. They had arrived a few moments ago.

Naminea looks up at Natsuki. "You said earlier with Haji that you could hear Natsuki, right?"

*nods* I can hear this...quiet and calm voice. It won't go away and keeps talking to me. It's the same thing with the memories of Dominic and Nahaji.

Naminea looks ahead at the house. "I see.. Well, this is good news!" She grins. "That means that you're still up there... you're not completely lost!"

*raises and eyebrow and watches her* I'll remember everything?

Naminea nods. "You should." They reach the front lawn of the house.

Edward Elric walks out the door. He grins brightly when he sees Natsuki and Naminea. "Natty! You're back!" He sees the blank look in her eyes and notices the difference in her personality. "Oh...Natsuki....please tell me you didn't do it again..."

Naminea nods sadly. "She did..."

Ed walks up and hugs Natsuki tightly. "I'm so sorry..come inside." He leads them inside.

*nods, unsure of what to say*

-Many hours have past. Ed, Al, Winry, and Naminea have been teling Natsuki of her memories. She seems to understand them and even replies at times. They are making great progress.-

So... *scratches the back of my head with one hand* I'm this so called philosopher's stone?

Ed nods at her. "Yes.... you're basically the strongest form of alchemy in this world. To a certain extent though... "

Naminea sighs and watches. We can't do this completely with Dominic and Haji. She needs them to actually remember. Right now she's just learning facts....not feelings.

Al is sitting behind Natsuki, messing with her hair. Winry is getting them all something to drink.

*sighs and looks at the ground* None of this is helping. I'm not remembering anything. *looks up, angry tears in my eyes* I'm taking a break. *stands up and walks outside* ....Who am I? *keeps walking until I reach the middle of an empty field* ...... *wipes my eyes and lays down in the middle of the field, looking up at the sky*

Naminea sighs and stands up. "I feel so frustrated right now... This is my entire fault." Ed puts a hand on her shoulder. "No...it's not." Naminea looks up at him with angry eyes. "If I had just gotten her out of there in time she never would have done this!" She storms outside and sits on the porch. Ed sits down on the ground next to Al. "...sheesh."

*sighs and raises my hand up, blocking out the sun* ....

Naminea stands up. "Ed.. I'll be back. Watch her for me." She vanishes.

Ed looks up as Namiena leaves. ".....okay." He stands up and walks over to the field. Without a sound he lays down next to Natsuki.

Ed looks up at the sky with Natsuki. "You know...you did this to Al and I once already... to bring him back. It took us nearly a year to make you remember."

*puts my hand down and closes my eyes* I must cause everyone a lot of worry... It seems like it.

Ed grins. "You do. But that's why we love you, okay?"

Naminea appears in the front porch with Dominic next to her. "She's in the field.." Naminea points to Natsuki.

Ed sits up. "Well.... I'll leave you alone with greeny here." He smiles down at Natsuki, then walks up to Naminea.

-I nod.- "Right." -I walk out into the field where Natsuki is sitting. My steps are soft and barely make a sound through the grass as I approach her.- "Mom?"

*my eyes flicker over to Dom* .......hello...

-I sit down next to her.- "So...they told me to come see you. You feeling ok?"

I'm...frustrated. *looks over at him* I'm always suppose to be the calm and collected one, right? The one who everyone comes to for help? ...I'm not that person anymore though.. And I want to be. *looks up at the sky* I just can't remember.

"Well I don't know.....I mean what will it take to?" -Then I remember.- "You know you have the power of telepathy right? If I give my mind to you, maybe you can remember that way.."

*looks back at him* I didn't know that... but I guess it explains why I can hear everyone's thoughts.

"Then put your hand to my head..Im going to fill my thoughts with everything up to this point we are at now. Every memory, from your battles, your love, your dislikes. Anything I can think of.." -I nudge her shoulder playfully.- "Including a cool memory with bacon.."

..Bacon? *smiles slighty* Well...It's worth a try. *places my hands on Dom's head and closes my eyes*

-I begin thinking of all our memories. Me as a child, teen, Haji's death and our reunion. The memories move all the way through to where we sit now. My head begins to sweat heavily from the heavy concentration.-

*Something seems tounlock in my mind* .... *takes my hands off Dom's head and sits there calmly with my eyes closed*

-I open my eyes and lean in to see if she's ok.- "You... ok?" -I ask curiously as I watch her.-

*a knock on the door is heard at the elrich house as haji stands there, a new outfit on him, he wore a black set of pants, black combat vest with his hair in a pony tail*

-Ed answers and notices Haji right away.- "Oh Haji, its good to see you..if your looking for Natty, she's out in the field with Dom.."

Not right now, I'm sure her head can use a break, what have you guys been doin

Oww... *rubs my eyes* My head hurts now. *opens my eyes and grins at Dom. My eyes seem brighter and more awake* Hi Dom.

"Hey...how you feel??" -I sense Haji's energy show up.- "Hey your husband's here...maybe he can relax you a bit."

Ed: "We have tried to spark her memory back..but when it didnt work, Nam went after Dom and you. She found Dom first...but your here too, so it worked out perfect!"

yea, when am i ever not around her anymore, it seem as though i have to keep her from doing selfless things, i mean, she's much more powerful than i ever could be, it's almost useless trying to keep her contained.....how is she?

-Ed points back to Natsuki and my direction.- "Your her husband. Thats something you grown ups need to handle....you need to see her.."

heh, you guys are funny, i know when i need to see her.....*he looks down without sayng anything* i don't need to be told, i wouldn't be here if i didn't need to see her, i'm sorry that i even asked anything *he walks from the porch and around to the otherside of the house*
