After a few days of answering questions as people thought of them and organizing a day and time that would be best for everyone, it was finally time for the Gate to be summoned.
The Hughes' sent their daughter to one of her friends for a sleepover to keep her out from underfoot and Roy and Riza arrived within the appointed time for their part of things.
Meanwhile, in the Elric's apartment, Winry was also present and was where the initial summoning was going to occur.
"You ready to do this, Brother?" Al asked quietly, petting the Gate Cat.
Ed gave his brother a weak smile and shook his head. "Not really, but I dunno when I'd ever really be ready for this."
"All right." Now Al looked at Winry. "How about you?"
"I'm fine. A little nervous, but nothing more than that," she assured him.
"All right." Al settled his gaze on the cat. "Could you please call them for us?" |
