Author's Note: This is my first story here, so I hope you enjoy it! One Piece/FullMetal Alchemist Crossover

I do not own One Piece or FullMetal Alchemist.

Lying in the cool shade under the clear blue sky, his head reclined on his hands, Edward Elric stared at the rustling leaves above him and took a deep breath. The air was crisp and fresh, and it felt good on his exposed skin. He had found this was a good way to calm down from his regular, obsurd life, but he could not relax, no matter how hard he tried. He over at his brother Alphonse and thought, This isn't normal. It doesn't feel right. But it was just a regular day, and had no interruptions. They had decided to take advantage of the beautiful weather and take a break from the rest of the chaotic world. A soft gust of wind blew through the leaves, but when Edward's blond bangs started to fall and stab him in the eyes, he couldn't take it any longer. He felt anxious; he had something on his mind and couldn't get it across.

"Hey Al," he blurted. "Something's been bothering me."

"What is it, brother?" asked Al, sitting up. His armor creaked. Edward thought about what he was about to say and continued. He wasn't even sure of his own thoughts.

"Do you ever get the feeling, like, what if we didn't live in this world?" asked Edward, following Al's lead. He felt somewhat idiotic asking this, but he had to get it out of his head. He just liked the peace and quiet of today and wished it would be like this more often.

"What do you mean?"

"Well, what if there are other worlds out there, and we are stuck in this one? What if we went to one of those other worlds for a change? Do you think that would be, well, nice?"

When Al didn't answer, Edward just sighed and stared at the horizon, as though waiting for something to appear from the distance, rising from the faint traces of clouds that were long gone. Actually, he half expected to. Who knows what this world could, or would, think of next. "You think I'm crazy, don't you?"

"No, I was just thinking about what you said."

"And?" Edward continued, waiting for his brother's answer.

Al sighed. "I suppose. It'd be nice for a change."

Edward sat in silence, thinking about his thoughts over and over. When he was getting antsy, he stood up and dusted himself off casually. "I'm going to take a walk."

"Want me to come with?" asked Al.

"Nah that's fine," Ed replied, stretching. "I want some time to think."

Al leaned up against the tree and watched with tired eyes as his older brother disappeared down the rocky road. He pondered on what Ed had said. A new world? That would mean a new life. Sometimes, it felt too good to be true.

Ed trudged along, his hands in his pockets, and was staring down at the pebbles beneath his feet. He kicked one absentmindedly and watched as it skipped along the dirt path, only to see it disappear about ten feet in front of him. He stared at the spot where the small rock had vanished. There was absolutely nothing abnormal about the pebble, or the air in front of him. Was it a trick of the light? He kicked another one. He watched as it vanished into thin air. He blinked twice and rubbed his eyes. Am I seeing things? Maybe it was just a hallucination. Slowly, he crouched down and picked up another slightly bigger pebble, tossing it in the air and catching it again. He stood back up and tossed it softly it in front of him. It too disappeared, and when it did, the air seemed to shimmer, like it was made of waves. He took a few steps back and yelled over his shoulder, "Al! Come here! Al!"

Back under the tree, Al leapt up and raced toward Edward's voice. He tripped down the rocky road and skid to a stop in front of Ed. When he reached him, Ed held out his arm, signaling Al to stop. "Is something the matter?"

He raised his hand to silence Al, picked up yet another pebble, and tossed it in the direction of the shimmering air. It too was gone in the blink of an eye. The brothers looked at each other in confusion. Ed shrugged and stepped forward and touched the strange, wavy substance in front of him. He felt the air around it whooshing and being sucked into the invisible hole.

"What is this?" Al asked curiously. "Could it be the Truth?"

"No, I don't think so. That had a, well, a different feel to it. This smells of adventure." He smiled, stepped back and said, "Al, I'm going in."

"What?" cried Al, horrified. "No, you can't! You don't even know what this is! It could be dangerous!"

"Hey, it's not like we haven't seen stranger things before, right?" Edward said, defending his decision. His grin quickly turned to a different expression. Anger maybe? Why did Al have to be so protective? This looked like fun.

"Well, sure, but we've never gone inside them, have we?"

Ed just turned around and smiled. "I'll be fine!" he said confidently. "Just stay here in case anyone wonders where I went, okay?" He took a few steps forward and gave himself to the air currents. "Don't try and follow me." He was looking for a relaxing adventure. He was bored with his day off. He wanted something exciting to do. And with that, Al watched he disappeared into the portal, which gave off a strange silver mist, concealing his older brother. He waited for a minute and decided to stay and wait until Edward returned, and he sat on the grass on the side of the road, wondering if his brother was okay. He watched the mist slowly dissapparate into the air until it was completely invisible. He started to doze off when he heard a faint voice whispering softly.

"May your dreams come true."

So, chapter one. What do you think? Reviews are welcome, please no hate.

I feel as though the beginning got off to a rocky start a little too quick, do you?
