Chapter 457: He Didn't Come Back

Earth Land, Ishgar, Kingdom of Fiore, Akane Beach.

 

March 1, x785.

 

The next couple days after Takashi and Rei joined Lamia Scale flew by. And in those days, Alfonzo finished running the wires from the training chambers to Ooba's office. Then, once the entire set of training chambers was up and running, Alfonzo took another day to explain all the functions of the new training facilities.

 

After the members of Lamia Scale were comfortable with the new training facilities, Ooba commissioned Alfonzo to cook once more to celebrate. Unfortunately, Jura never did return to Lamia Scale before the trio of Fairy Tail wizards had to leave. As a result, Ultear was quite annoyed by the time it was time to leave. However, since there was nothing that she could do about it, she asked Alfonzo to help her work off all her negative feelings the night before they left.

 

 

The following day, Alfonzo, Ultear, and Juvia said their farewells to the members of Lamia Scale from the entrance of the Viper Inn. After that, they boarded Sixth Sense, with Alfonzo returning the S 600 to the cargo hold before setting sail.

 

A day later, Sixth Sense was sailing along the coast of Akane Beach, heading for the villa Ultear gifted Alfonzo and Elicia for their birthday last year.

 

"Finally, the trip is almost over." Ultear, standing on the deck near the ship's bow, said as she stretched. "I really miss home. I miss Mom, too."

 

"Juvia agrees." Juvia replied from nearby. "Juvia really missed Ur, too. She missed Gray, as well."

 

"Well, I wish you luck in gaining Gray's attention, Juvia." Ultear said with a smile as she glanced at Juvia. "Just so long as you don't forget what we talked about; you should have better luck than before."

 

"Yes, Juvia understands." Juvia replied while shuddering lightly after remembering the way Lyon looked at her. "Juvia will do her best."

 

Smiling at Juvia's response, Ultear could only hope that the lesson she learned while visiting Lamia Scale would stick. And if it did, that would mean that she and her mother would gain peace from Juvia's stalking.

 

"We're almost there!" Alfonzo shouted from the wheel house, drawing the attention of the ladies to himself. "It'll only be a few minutes. So, you two should get your luggage together."

 

"Okay!" Ultear shouted back. "We'll be ready by the time we dock!"

 

Nodding in reply, Alfonzo went back to concentrating on steering the ship.

 

Meanwhile, Ultear and Juvia made their way below deck to grab their luggage.

 

"*Sigh* Only another eight, or so, hours until we're back home." Ultear said with a smile as she walked across the deck. "I really can't wait to see everyone again."

 

About ten minutes later, Sixth Sense was moored to the dock outside the villa. Currently, Alfonzo, Ultear, and Juvia were walking along the dock towards the villa. At the same time, the S 600 was floating behind them. Alfonzo would set it down in the villa's driveway when they arrived.

 

"So, should we have something to eat before we head back to Magnolia?" Ultear asked while the trio stood in front of the villa.

 

"I don't mind making you two something to eat." Alfonzo replied in a tired tone. "*Sigh* But the two of you are gonna have to go back to Magnolia on your own."

 

While Juvia's eyes lit up at the thought of spending time alone with Ultear, Ultear's eyebrows furrowed in irritation.

 

"Why?" Ultear asked in an annoyed tone.

 

"Because I have to go to Era to answer the Magic council's summons." Alfonzo said in just as annoyed a tone as Ultear. "And it would take too long to get there by land. So, I'm gonna sail Sixth Sense over there."

 

"Damned Magic Council." Ultear grumbled. "Even after being completely overhauled, they still cause us trouble."

 

Hearing Ultear's grumbling, Alfonzo could not help but smile wryly as he reached out and began combing his fingers through her hair, causing the annoyed pout she was wearing to melt away from her face.

 

What Alfonzo found most surprising about that whole exchange, however, was the fact that Juvia did not react at all to the intimacy between the two. Instead, she continued to smile with her eyes shining brightly.

 

'I guess getting to spend eight hours alone with Tear really has Juvia in her happy place.' Alfonzo thought to himself as he continued combing his fingers through Ultear's hair. 'I mean, even though she's chilled out a lot since she had that talk with Tear, she still, at the very least, twitches whenever Tear and I get all lovey dovey.'

 

"Anyway, what do you two want to eat?" Alfonzo asked as he pulled his hand away from Ultear's head.

 

"Juvia is fine with anything." Juvia replied energetically.

 

"*Sigh* Me, too, I guess." Ultear replied listlessly. "We'll get going after that."

 

Nodding in understanding, Alfonzo reached into his pocket, retrieving the key to the S 600. Then, he handed it to Ultear.

 

"Here, you'll need this." Alfonzo said with a smile.

 

"Thanks." Ultear replied as she took the key. "Once our luggage is in the trunk, we'll come inside."

 

Nodding once again, Alfonzo turned around and started walking towards the villa's front door with his luggage in hand.

 

On a side note, before setting sail for Margaret, Alfonzo overhauled the villa, lining all the walls with orichalcum and setting up a security system similar to the one around his and Elicia's first mansion. So, they no longer needed keys to enter the house.

 

"Wait!" Ultear shouted in a tone that suggested she just remembered something.

 

Stopping in his tracks, Alfonzo turned around while wearing a confused expression.

 

"If we take the car, how are you gonna get back to Magnolia after seeing the Council?" Ultear asked curiously.

 

Shrugging his shoulders, Alfonzo turned back around and continued walking towards the villa's front door.

 

"Worst case scenario, I'll just take the train back." Alfonzo replied while he walked away. "But more than likely, I'll just build another magic vehicle. And although I don't have a rechargeable lacrima on hand, I'm sure I can get one before I have to set sail for Era."

 

Nodding in understanding, Ultear led Juvia to the back of the S 600 where they loaded their luggage into the trunk. After that, they quickly entered the villa, anticipating the meal that Alfonzo would prepare before they left.

 

Earth Land, Ishgar, Kingdom of Fiore, Magnolia.

 

On the same day, shortly after the sun set, around the table where Alfonzo and Elicia usually sat in the Fairy Tail guild hall, the usual group of people were seated, waiting for Alfonzo, Ultear, and Juvia to return from their two month long trip to Lamia Scale's guild hall.

 

"They should be here soon." Alzack said as he picked at the food on the plate in front of him. "Man, I don't remember the last time Alfonzo was away from the guild for this long."

 

"I don't think he has ever been away for this long, has he?" Bisca, who was basically glued to Alzack, said with a smile before turning to Elicia for an answer. "Right, Lici?"

 

"That's right." Elicia replied with a nod and a smile. A moment later, however, her expression morphed into a frown.

 

"Stil, I can't wait until he gets back." Alzack said while smiling lovingly at Bisca. "Although I'm sure he wasn't expecting us to get engaged, I did what he said and took a step forward in my relationship with Bisca."

 

"A step?" Cana asked with a mischievous smile on her face. "That must have been one big ass step that allowed you to skip most of the steps that came before it."

 

In response to Cana's teasing, Alzack could only lower his head in embarrassment. Meanwhile, Bisca, with an amused smile on her face, hugged her fiancé.

 

"Unfortunately, I don't think you'll get to tell him about that today, Alzack." Elicia said, the frown on her face still present.

 

"What do you mean?" Bisca asked in Alzack's place.

 

"Yeah, you make it sound like they won't be back today." Lucy said in a confused tone.

 

"That's because I don't think he will be." Elicia replied.

 

"Huh?" Mirajane exclaimed in confusion. "But why?"

 

"I don't know." Elicia said while shaking her head. "But my Fonzie Sense is telling me that I won't see him today."

 

With that, the entire table fell silent. However, no one knew what to say. Although they all thought Elicia's "Fonzie Sense" sounded completely nonsensical, they have seen Elicia's strange instincts when it came to Alfonzo far too many times over the years to simply right it off.

 

Meanwhile, the new comers from Takanosu, namely, Saeko, Saya, Kohta, and Rika, were thoroughly confused.

 

"What the hell is 'Fonzie Sense'?" Saya asked in a thoroughly flabbergasted tone. "That sounds so illogical."

 

In response, the more senior members of the guild snapped back to their senses.

 

"Well, I don't blame you for thinking that way." Lucy said while wearing a wry smile. "Because..."

 

"It's just as illogical as it sounds." Mirajane added, finishing Lucy's sentence.

 

"But we've learned not to question it over the years." Lisanna said, picking up after her sister.

 

"Yup!" Sun said enthusiastically. "And her instincts are never wrong when it comes to Alfonzo."

 

"Well, except for that one time." Cana said.

 

"Cana!" Elicia squeaked.

 

"Seriously, Cana, I thought we were already done with that after we talked about it with Fonzie." Marin said in a somewhat reprimanding tone.

 

"Oh, don't look at me like that." Cana said with a smile. "Like you said, we're past that already. But did you see the look on Lici's face? She's so adorable when she panics."

 

Although Erza, Mirajane, Marin, Sun, and Lucy, the rest of Alfonzo's girlfriends and fiancées, thought Cana's method to get a rise out of Elicia was in poor taste, they could not help but agree with Cana's assessment of Elicia's panicked expression.

 

"Cana! You're so mean!" Elicia exclaimed in an embarrassed tone, causing the rest of the people at the table to laugh at her expense.

 

A few moments later, while the young wizards laughed and enjoyed themselves, the guild's doors slid open revealing Ultear and Juvia.

 

"Hey! Ultear and Juvia are back." Natsu said, the first to notice the new arrivals thanks to his sense of smell. "And it looks like Lici was right again. Alfonzo's not with them."

 

Hearing Natsu, the rest of the group turned their attention towards the doors, as well. And while Alfonzo's girls were disappointed that Alfonzo was not with them, they did not let it show in their expressions.

 

"Welcome back, Tear, Juvia." Elicia said energetically. "How was the trip."

 

"*sigh* It was alright." Ultear replied with a shrug as she and Juvia approached the table where the other sat. "Alfonzo finished his work with no issue. He got to have a spar with Jura, too."

 

When Ultear mentioned Alfonzo's spar with Jura, her mood visibly soured.

 

"Why does that seem to bother you so much, Tear?" Mirajane asked curiously.

 

"*Sigh* Because I was supposed to have a spar with Jura, too." Ultear replied as she took a seat at the table. "But the day we were supposed to have our spar, Lyon came back from a quest with his team. So, I had to carry out the assessment for Mom."

 

As everyone was able to follow the story, they all nodded in understanding.

 

"And when I asked Jura if we could postpone our spar, he agreed." Ultear continued. "He said it would have to wait for a week, though. Something about having to go to Era for Magic Council business."

 

Once again, everyone nodded in understanding.

 

"But after that day, I never saw him again!" Ultear shouted in frustration.

 

With that, the light of realization shined in everyone's eyes.

 

"Understandable." Erza, who was sitting to Ultear's left, said as she patted Ultear on the shoulder. "Finding a worthy opponent is enough to make anyone excited. However, having the chance to clash with the opponent taken away is truly something worth being frustrated over."

 

In response, Ultear turned to Erza with agaze that shouted: "She gets it!"

 

"Ah! Jura was supposed to spar with me after the quest with those six dark wizard guys, too!" Natsu shouted, his memory of the deal he made with Jura jumping to the forefront of his mind.

 

"It looks like Jura is good for breaking agreements to spar, huh?" Gray asked with an amused expression on his face.

 

At the same time, Gray was feeling kind of weirded out. And the reason for that was the way Juvia looked at him. Although he's quite used to Juvia staring at him, it's usually from a distance. On top of that, it usually feels much more... uncomfortable.

 

"So, what else happened?' Sun asked curiously.

 

"Oh, right." Ultear replied with a nod after squashing her annoyance. "Let's see... We met another God slayer... And Lamia Scale got a couple new members right before we left."

 

As Ultear mentioned lamia Scale's new members, she let her gaze land on Saeko, Saya, and Kohta.

 

"And the three of you know them." Ultear continued.

 

"We do?" Saeko asked curiously.

 

"I guess that means they came from Takanosu, right?" Kohta asked.

 

"That's right." Ultear said with a nod.

 

"It was probably Takashi and Miyamoto." Saya said. "I mean, no one else really fits. Especially since almost no one in Takanosu had magic power. And even if they did, they didn't know about it. So, Takashi and Miyamoto are the only ones that fit. Since Alfonzo helped them awaken their magic power, like he did with us."

 

Hearing Saya's analysis, Saeko and Kohta nodded in agreement. Meanwhile, Rika, who did not really associate with Takashi and Rei, remained silent. She did turn her attention towards Ultear and Juvia after the others from Takanosu finished, though.

 

"So, why isn't Alfonzo with you two?" Rika asked curiously. "I mean, he was supposed to make me a new weapon. One that could transform between melee and ranged. I think he called it a [Mechashift Weapon]."

 

Before Ultear or Juvia could answer Rika's question, however, Shizuka, who just finished her shift in the guild's infirmary, stepped into the main hall. A moment later, after looking around the guild hall, she noticed Ultear and Juvia sitting at the group's normal table. Then, she excitedly ran over to the table, causing her assets to bounce vigorously with every step.

 

"Welcome back, Ultear, Juvia!" Shizuka shouted while on the way to the table. "How was your trip? Where is Alfonzo? I want him to cook for me. And comb his fingers through my hair. I wanna try sitting in his lap, too. And..."

 

"Sorry, Shizuka." Ultear said while wearing a wry smile. "He didn't come back with us."

 

Immediately, Shizuka's expression froze on her face. A moment later, she deflated. With that term being more literal in the case of her breasts.

 

At the same time, all the [Armament Spirits] present commented about her breasts being like a mood ring. Unfortunately, because of Shizuka's depressed aura, it would take a while before Ultear or Juvia would be able to tell everyone why Alfonzo did not come back with them.

Chapter 458: Shizuka's Request

Earth Land, Ishgar, Kingdom of Fiore, Magnolia.

 

March 1, x786.

 

It took a few minutes to cheer up Shizuka after she found out that Alfonzo had not come back with Ultear and Juvia. During which time, a brawl started in the guild hall. However, the more levelheaded members of the group continued cheering up Shizuka.

 

"So, where is Fonzie?" Elicia asked curiously once Shizuka's smile was back on her face.

 

"*Sigh* We'll have to wait until Ultear and Juvia are done fighting to get an answer to that question.

 

At that moment, the elevator opened. And when it did, Gildarts and Ur, walking hand-in-hand exited the elevator. And upon seeing the ongoing brawl, Ur sighed audibly. Then, she let go of Gildarts' hand before making her casting gesture.

 

"[Ice-Make: Rose Garden]." Ur chanted in an exasperated tone.

 

In the next instant, a number of ice roses grew from beneath all the brawling wizards. Then, before any of the wizards could react, their stems coiled around them, stopping them from moving.

 

As soon as everyone was immobilized, they all looked in Ur's direction, knowing that she would only stop one of the commonly occurring brawls if something important was happening. Or... If the fight resulted in her spilling her wine.

 

"It looks like Alfonzo, Juvia, and my daughter have returned..." Ur said as she scanned the faces of those taking part in the brawl.

 

"Uh... Hey, Mom." Ultear said while smiling sheepishly.

 

"But the thing I wanna know is..." Ur continued, ignoring Ultear's greeting. "Why hasn't anyone come to report to me yet?"

 

With that, Ultear and Juvia looked away guiltily. However, neither had anything to say on the matter.

 

"Um... Actually." Elicia said, raising her hand so that Ur could see her.

 

"What's wrong, Elicia?" Ur asked in a stern tone.

 

"The thing is...' Elicia said hesitantly. "Well... Fonzie didn't come back with Tear and Juvia."

 

Hearing that, Ur froze momentarily. Then, she remembered the fact that the Magic Council had summoned Alfonzo.

 

"Oh, that's right." Ur replied casually. "Alfonzo won't be back until sometime after the fifteenth."

 

Hearing that, everyone in the guild hall opened their eyes wide in surprise.

 

"How did you know about that, Mom?" Ultear asked in a shocked tone.

 

"I received a message about it from the old man." Ur replied. "The Magic Council summoned him for some reason. In fact, I'll be meeting up with him in Era in about two weeks."

 

"Seriously?" Lucy asked in a dumbfounded tone. "But why would he have to see the Magic Council? Did something happen?"

 

Not only Lucy, but most of those present, other than Ultear and Juvia, wore similar worried expressions. And for the wizards of Fairy Tail to panic in a situation like this was not out of the ordinary. Despite the fact that the Magic Council had been completely rebuilt, most of the wizards of Fairy Tail still remembered how much the Council hated them. So, they began to think the worst.

 

Before the panic could fester for too long, however, a gloomy aura washed over the guild hall, drawing all eyes to its point of origin.

 

"How long have you known that Fonzie wasn't coming back to day, Ur?" Elicia asked in an eerily calm tone.

 

'Oh, shit, I forgot about Lici when I decided to keep this a secret from the guild.' Ur said to herself as her eyes opened wide. 'She can get kinda out of hand when it comes to her Fonzie.'

 

"For about three weeks, or so." Ur replied with cold sweat dripping down her back.

 

"And you didn't think to let us know?" Elicia asked, her eyes narrowing as she asked her question.

 

At the same time, in a burst of speed, a beautiful woman with a curvaceous figure, long, bright pink hair tied into a pair of buns on her head, green eyes, and a beauty mark under each eye wearing a flowing white and pink kimono with an oversized katana strapped horizontally across her lower back appeared behind Elicia with her right hand gripping the katana's hilt. On top of that, she was glaring at Ur with hostility.

 

"There's no need for that, Ikaruga." Elicia said as she waved her hand at the woman, Ikaruga, the former leader of Trinity Raven of Death's Head Caucus. "Besides, you're no match for her."

 

"Yes, Mistress Elicia." Ikaruga replied as she released the hilt of her katana. However, she did not stop glaring at Ur. And she would continue to do so for as long as Elicia was unhappy.

 

As previously mentioned, after Ikaruga was released from prison. Mostly due to her good behavior and the fact that she repeatedly mentioned that she wanted to serve Elicia. The Magic Council, under Makarov's insistence, released her on probation, hoping that Elicia would be able to reform her. And if that did not work, they knew that Elicia was more than strong enough to subdue her, should she revert to her old mentality.

 

"*Sigh* Because Alfonzo was supposed to appear in front of the Magic Council alone." Ur replied. "And I knew if I told you about it, you would want to follow him to Era."

 

In good conscience, Elicia could not deny Ur's statement. In fact, ever since Ur said something about Alfonzo being summoned before the Council, Elicia was thinking about going back to the mansion, hopping in her Z3, and driving to Era to meet up with Alfonzo.

 

"Does that mean no one can go with you?" Shizuka, who was also looking forward to seeing Alfonzo, asked Ur while looking at her with puppy dog eyes.

 

'Damn it.' Ur thought as she made eye contact with Shizuka. 'Why can a twenty-eight year old woman look so cute while making puppy dog eyes? It's not fair.'

 

"No, I'm allowed to bring one person with me to witness the proceedings." Ur replied while trying, and failing, to break eye contact with Shizuka. "And I was planning to bring---"

 

"Then, can I come with you?" Shizuka asked excitedly as she appeared in front of Ur in a burst of speed.

 

'What the hell?' Everyone in the guild hall exclaimed internally after seeing Shizuka's burst of speed.

 

At the same time, Shizuka grasped Ur's hands while looking at her with the light of hope shining in her eyes. Meanwhile, Ur, after seeing the look in Shizuka's eyes, felt her resistance start to crumble immediately.

 

Originally, Ur wanted to bring Gildarts with her. Using the trip as an excuse to spend some uninterrupted time with her new man. But that notion almost flew out of the window after meeting eyes with Shizuka.

 

"But what about your shifts in the infirmary?" Ultear asked softly as she finally broke eye contact with the ditzy nurse.

 

"Oh, you don't need to worry about that, Ur." Ren, with a mischievous grin on her face, replied before Shizuka could. "I'll pick up her shifts."

 

Immediately, Ur's head snapped in her friend's direction with a scowl on her face. Meanwhile, Shizuka looked at Ren with gratitude. A moment later, Ur sighed in defeat.

 

"Fine, you can come with me." Ur said in a resigned tone.

 

"Yay!" Shizuka cheered as she started jumping up and down with Ur's hands still grasped in her own. "Thank you, Master! Thank you very much."

 

'*Sigh* Why is it so hard to say no to her?' Ur thought to herself while shaking her head with a wry smile on her face. 'It's even worse than when Meredy and Wendy look at me with puppy dog eyes. She's on par with little Elicia.'

 

While those thoughts were running through Ur's head, the men in the guild were staring at Shizuka. More specifically, the way her breasts bounced as she jumped around in excitement.

 

"*Sigh* All the men in this guild are perverts." Chico said in a tone filled with envy. "Do they ever think about anything other than breasts."

 

"Why don't you say that when you can tear your eyes away from those things." Macao, who was still wrapped up in one of Ur's [Ice Roses] shot back while his eyes followed the bounce of Shizuka's breasts.

 

And just like Macao said, many of the women in the guild were also staring at Shizuka's chest. And while some of them were jealous like Chico, most of them were just mesmerized by the violently bouncing breasts.

 

At the same time, Ur, who noticed that Gildarts was among the men staring at Shizuka's breasts, freed one of her hands from Shizuka's grasp. Then, after making a one-handed casting gestured, caused a fist made of ice to form above Gildarts head.

 

*Bang!*

 

In response to getting hit by Ur's [Ice Fist], Gildarts did not even try to defend himself. Instead, he only looked at Ur apologetically.

 

Meanwhile, Ultear and Juvia, after seeing the display between Ur and Gildarts opened their eyes wide in surprise. And while Ultear smiled at her mother happily, Juvia looked mortified. Though, to Ur, Gray, and everyone else's surprise, she did not start boiling in anger.

 

Naturally, this caused Ur to look at Ultear questioningly. And Ultear mouthed: "I'll tell you later," in response.

 

"Anyway, Tear, Juvia, come to my office and tell me about your trip to Lamia Scale." Ur ordered after shaking off her confusion. "I'll get Alfonzo's version of the report when I meet with him in era."

 

As she spoke, Ur released all the wizards from her [Rose Garden] spell. Then, she turned around and returned to the elevator, leaving Gildarts on the first floor to interact with the rest of the guild.

 

As soon as Ur, Ultear, and Juvia disappeared into the elevator, everyone went back to what they were doing before the brawl started. At the same time, Shizuka, with a wide smile on her face, skipped back to the table where the others were sitting.

 

"I'm actually surprised that you didn't ask to go with Ur, Lici." Cana said after ordering a drink.

 

"*Sigh* I wanted to." Elicia replied. "I mean, I really wanted to. But I'm already pushing the deadline for the summer collection. And if I were to take a few days to go to Era, I wouldn't be able to finish in time."

 

Hearing that, everyone sitting at the table nodded their heads in understanding.

 

"Still, I wonder what the Magic Council wants Alfonzo for." Levy said in a curious tone. "I mean, we all know it's not because he destroyed anything. So, what else could it be?"

 

"Maybe it's to give him an award for everything his inventions have done for the people of Ishgar?" Meredy suggested.

 

"I doubt it." Mirajane replied. "They would have done that a long time ago if they were gonna do that."

 

"Actually, that's not so far outside the realm of possibility." Saya chipped in. "Don't forget, before the Magic Council was rebuilt, they really hated Fairy Tail. So, they weren't against withholding the praise members of the guild were owed."

 

Saya's analysis caused everyone to stop and think for a few moments. Then, she received nods from everyone at the table.

 

"Saya's right." Elicia said with a smile. "But I don't think that's it. Otherwise, Ur would have told us when she stopped the fight."

 

"If that's not it, then what could it be?' Rika asked curiously.

 

"Wizard Saint." Laki said with a smile.

 

Hearing Laki's suggestion, everyone looked towards her. And judging by the smile she was wearing, they all could tell that she was joking, which caused everyone to chuckle. However, if they only knew how true Laki's joke was, they would all be left with their eyes and mouths hanging wide open.

 

Meanwhile, at the best hotel in Magnolia, Edward and Alphonse were relaxing in their room.

 

"Winry will be here tomorrow." Alphonse said while sitting on one of the beds in the hotel room.

 

"Yeah." Edward replied absent-mindedly. "We'll pick her up from the train station in the morning. Then, we'll head to see Alfonzo at the guild hall."

 

"We'll have to wait until they finish training, though." Alphonse replied. "According to Winry's letter, her train will arrive in the middle of the morning."

 

"*Sigh* I know." Edward replied. "But since he got back from that job he was working on, there's a chance he might skip training, though."

 

"That's true." Alphonse replied with a nod.

 

"Al, I'm still not sure telling Winry about this before we've seen any results was such a good idea." Edward said, changing the subject. "I mean, what if Alfonzo's idea doesn't work?"

 

"I think she'll understand." Alphonse said. "Winry knows we've been looking for a solution to our problems for almost ten years. I don't think she'll take it as hard as you think she will, Brother."

 

"*Sigh* I hope you're right, Al." Edward said as he rolled over in bed. "I already promised that the next time I made her cry, they would be tears of happiness. And I really don't wanna break my promise."

 

Though Alphonse did not reply verbally, if he had a face, it would be split from ear to ear with a smile after hearing Edward's last statement. Unfortunately, Winry, Edward, and Alphonse would all be disappointed when they found out that Alfonzo had not returned to Magnolia.
