After Ed's talk with the princess of the moon he left the castle to return to the Everfree Forest so he could find a place to he build his house. Due to being on his journey for so many years Ed hadn't had a real house to his call own for sometime. He would usually stay at local inns in the towns where he would stop to rest and explore while doing research. While in the wilderness he would use his alchemy to raise hollowed mounds from the ground whenever he needed to stay in one location for any extended period of time. This time though he planned to make a proper house, especially since Luna was expected to come for a visit. He'd still planned to make a home here even if Luna hadn't ask him to stay. It had been his home town since he'd arrived in this world those many years ago, even if the settlement didn't technically exist anymore.

Ed had decided to sleep the previous day's excitement off through the night and start construction on his today. He started by gathering the materials that he'd need for the house from the nearest sources. That being of course the forest and the surrounding areas. Of course the house would be a simple wooden home, but with the use of his alchemy Ed was able to fuse the structure together a piece at a time. With the help of some local earth pony farmer and the occasional castle staff that would either stop by or that were sent by Luna, Ed had been able to complete his new home in just under a week and a half. It was a simple two story building with the comforts running water thanks to an underground stream that Ed had located. With some help from the locals again Ed was able to manipulate the water with a combination of techniques using his alchemy and the local unicorns magic.

Now that the house was built and functioning it was time to furnish it, but again almost all of this would come from the forest. It was a really good thing that this place hosted such a wide variety of plants with a multitude uses of their, and thanks to his knowledge of basic fabric making, that he picked up on his journey, Ed was able to make cloth for everything need . It took Ed around two days to furnish his home, and when he was finished he felt as though he finally had something of his own in this world. That night Ed slept in the bed he'd made with his hands and couldn't be more at peace.

While alchemy really did make things easier when doing construction and anything of the sort like this; relying on it for every single task wasn't really what Ed liked to do. Although, as it was still apart of who he was now and he accepted that. Being able to use alchemy was fun, but it still drew a lot of unwanted attention to an already unusual looking pony. Which is why Ed kept to himself and had originally made his home in Everfree to begin with.

Now that Ed had his home slash work shop completely up, running, and fully stocked he could now take on the task of repair the arm that Luna had damage when she knocked he on his ass a few weeks ago. Ed only ever had two extra copies of his prosthetics on him at any given time mainly because the materials to make them were difficult to obtain, and costly as well do to them being made of various metals. The parts all had to be cut, shaped, molded, and worked over through various other preparations with a combination of hand working and alchemy. Ed grab the broken arm from his pack and placed it on a table with a large array of tools hanging in front of him. He then proceeded to dismantle the prosthetic. Ed quickly found out that it was in much worse shape than he had originally thought. He work on into the late night hours until he'd finally taken the arm completely down to its tiniest pieces. Put the tool he was hold down on the table he stood up from his chair and stretched then let out a slow sigh of relief.

“Well it a good thing I wasn't planning on goin anyway for a few years at least. The way things are looking for this arm I'd be lying if I said I wasn't lucky this thing hadn't shattered to when Luna blasted me” Ed said while looking down at the now disassembled arm.

“Well that's enough of that for today.” he said with a yawn.

“For now it's off to the land of sleep and dreams. Hey, maybe I'll get to see Luna tonight.” Ed said as he blew out the candles and went up to his bed for well deserved rest.

i know i said ed was gonna meet up with Celestia and Starswirl but i thought giving a little bet of a description of how he does thing might give a little more understanding of his personality
