The Ultimate Anti-Climax of Ultimate History?

[insertshortrant.livejournal.com]

[So, all of you islanders have been recovering from the horrors of the Zombie Island Mish-Mash of Nuclear AWESOME, doing your island-y things. That's cool, so has Ed, off being his usual slightly-reclusive self and blowing things up in his Gilligan-lab to pass the time. Life returns to what passes for normal here, right?

...and then there's the note. Of course your first thought is 'Oh God, another event?' as would be the logical train of thought--

Wait a minute. Wedding invitation? Of the island and--WHAT?! And on top of that you're free to leave for home or wherever you like?]

...there's no way. This has to be a trick.



(( MINGLE POST HO!!! Are you skeptical of this ~*gift from the heavens*~ as Edward is? Are you one of the insanely hopeful that shall plan for where you'll go? Need to start making tearful goodbyes to your long-time buddies? Shanghai some fellow islanders to your homeworld for nefarious purposes? Get pissed at being brought here recently just to leave? Flip out and go find some Black Materia to call down Mete--wait.

So yeah. Post, mingle, have fun! And assume this is the day of the note-arrival, obvs. Mods, if this is out of line, feel free to stake me out for the vultures. *A*b ))

I know.

...Freya. If this is real...what do you want to do? Whose world should we go to?

...

When I moved out of Chii's home to live with you... that was my decision for the rest of my life. She needs to live her own life, without my interference. We must become separate, in order to be happy. I will miss her... but this is for what's best.

My place... You are my special someone just for me, Edward. My place, my world... it is wherever you go.

... [very, very small smile] I wonder if it's selfish of me to be glad of that.

[holds her tight] It might be dangerous for you to travel with me back home, but I'll do my best to protect you. I promise.

[pennate.livejournal.com]

If it is selfish, then I am selfish too... but perhaps... we have earned the right to selfishness.

[Clutching his clothes, eyes closed.]

No matter the risk or danger, I will never leave my side. My... life... is yours, and yours alone.

[lsdakfjls;k y u make him wanna cry, Freya ;A; kissing her hair] Thank you...thank you. I love you so much.

...heh. Winry's gonna flip when she finds out about you, you know. She's crazy about any sort of machine.

[pennate.livejournal.com]

... I love you too, Edward.

[a pause, and she looks up.]

... She is your friend... so I shall trust her.

[insertshortrant.livejournal.com]

[laughs!] Oh, she wouldn't hurt you, definitely not. Just expect to be bombarded with questions when you see her.

[pennate.livejournal.com]

I shall answer them all. I have no reason to hide my secrets any longer.

[insertshortrant.livejournal.com]

[...l-lol, except that he's half paranoid the military would try to seize her to figure out how she works. :(]

It must be a relief to not have to hide all of that anymore. ...not that you had too much to hide while you've been here.

[protect me edward ;A;]

For a long time, I felt I had to hide who I was from Chii, from everyone... because I felt their lives were more important than my own... But you have given me... reason, to exist.

[insertshortrant.livejournal.com]

[he'd totally kick Bradley's ass for you ;A;b]

Dummy. You always had a reason to exist--you're you. That in itself is enough.

[i-yaaaan~]

... [hiding her face in your chest again, ffff.] Thank you.

[insertshortrant.livejournal.com]

[chuckling and petting her hair] You're so cute when you get like this, you know?

[pennate.livejournal.com]

I am inclined to disagree, but I will not argue it.
