Anything

By: Song

Summary: Ed would do anything for his little brother.

"Al, you know I'd do anything for you, right?" Ed asked as the stars danced above the pair of brothers.

"Me too, brother." replied the echoing child's voice from within the armor. They lay silently while crickets played sonnets.

"Al, you know I love you, right?" His voice was thick with emotion- or perhaps puberty.

"Same here, brother." Al whispered. "More than anything..."

"Al, you know you mean everything to me, right? And I want you to be happy... if anything ever happens to me." The last was almost an after thought.

"Brother, what is this about?"

Ed did not answer immediately. When he did it was strained, as if he were trying to come to terms with it himself. "I've just been ...thinking... a lot lately." He paused for a moment. "Well, goodnight Al."

"Goodnight, brother."

Al awoke the following morning- never remembering falling asleep. He was as bare as the day he was born, but alive... and whole.

Ed was no where to be found.

<p align="center"><font face="Verdana">The Moon is a card of magic and mystery - when prominent you know that nothing is as it seems, particularly when it concerns relationships. All logic is thrown out the window.</font></p>
<p align="center"><font face="Verdana">The Moon is all about visions and illusions, madness, genius and poetry. This is a card that has to do with sleep, and so with both dreams and nightmares. It is a scary card in that it warns that there might be hidden enemies, tricks and falsehoods. But it should also be remembered that this is a card of great creativity, of powerful magic, primal feelings and intuition. You may be going through a time of emotional and mental trial; if you&nbsp;have any past mental problems, you must be vigilant in taking your medication but avoid drugs or alcohol, as abuse of either will cause them irreparable damage. This time however, can also result in great creativity, psychic powers, visions and insight. You can and should trust your intuition.</font></p>

Seg ate some wax worms today! He's had an absolutely massive infection next to his eye that we've had to drain twice... poor little guy. His face is all bruised and for a number of days his eye was swollen shut. In total we pulled out about half a CC of puss. For a five inch gecko, that's a LOT.

SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One of my geckos has a really, REALLY bad infection by his eye, it looks like a cyst. Going to the vet for an emergency vist tomorrow.... here's hoping it all turns out well....

Why do I get the sneaking suspicion that I'm not going to be totally happy with the journal layouts, and that I'm going to end up coding one myself..?
