"It's been a long time, huh Al?" Van spoke with a smile as Al said, "Yeah..." "So um...I saw Pinako recently. She told me about your body." Silence filled the area until the townspeople broke it. "Hey there he is!" the woman spoke. "Mr. Ho, you think you could give us a hand for a bit?" the man asked. "Yeah sure." Van spoke then turned to Al saying, "Let's catch up later." "Oh, okay." Van removed his bandanna and walked off with the others, Al watching closely.

"You did a hell of a job fixing this radio. It works better than it used to!" the owner smiled, pointing to the radio on his roof. "It doesn't even pick up static!" Al glanced at the radio, then the man saying, "I'm really sorry...all this bad stuff happened because we stuck our noses in." "Don't worry about that, you've got to look at all the good stuff it's brought. You guys exposed a corrupt fraud...people reacted badly a first but look now..."

Al looked around to find the townspeople working hard as the owner said, "Sounds good, right? The whole town is rebuilding what we lost...and you guys are the ones who brought us together." Al clenched his fist as he said, "...I'm going to help build! Rose, can you take care of Winry?" Before she could answer, he ran off. "Well, we might as well help too." Jerso spoke, headed off in the direction Al left, Zampano following. "You heard him Yoki." Yoki turned with fork and knife in hand saying, "Huh? I'm eating..." he was then pulled by the hood with the others. "The food taste better wants you've worked up an appetite." "Quit struggling." "I'm hungry!"

"Really? You mean that was your son back there?" "I'm sorry if we interrupted...it's been a while, right? Maybe you should head back and talk?" Hohenheim stood as he gave a smile saying, 'I don't know...I left when he was just a boy and haven't seen him since...I doubt he thinks of me as his Father much less trusts me. I'm not too sure on what to say to him...' "Hey Dad!" Hohenheim turned, shocked as he found Al standing there. "I'd um...I'd like to work to!" Hohenheim was speechless. "Here, let me carry those!" Al ran to the two people and picked up the wood they were carrying and brought it for them. "Here you go!" At the sight, Hohenheim gave a smile.

Winry released a relieved sigh as she stretched in the tub. "Are you okay in there?" Rose asked. "How does the water feel?" "Amazing~ if feels like an eternity since I've had a bath!" "I'll leave some fresh clothes for you here." "Thank you so much Rose!"Winry stated before covering half her face into the water. 'She's so nice to do all this for me~' Winry thought, still in bliss. "I'm really impressed with you Winry...working as an auto-mail engineer, you're so independent for your age. So, designed Aaliyah and Ed's auto-mail?" "That's right! It was back when we were little kids, really..." "That's amazing! You're the one who helped themback on their feet, so indirectly, you helped me get back on my feet as well. I owe you just as much as I do Ed, Ally and Al." Winry looked to the curtain, speechless.

"I was desperate enough to believe Father Cornello...he claimed he could bring my boyfriend to life and I began to blindly follow him. But lucky for me, that's when Ed, Ally and Al showed up and exposed him. Everything I believed in suddenlydisappeared...I lost all hope." Rose took a sip of her tea as Winry watched her, wanting to hear more. "But then, Ed got furious with me and told me to stand on my own two feet." "He said that? he can be a handful sometimes..." Winry muttered. "Ed and her alike..." "They helped open our eyes...we're leaning to stand on our own and we don't need a miracle to do it. It's allthanks to Ed, Ally and Al..."
