Chapter 1

Two brothers are running home after school. They are excited because their mother is making their favorite dinner tonight.

"Hey Brother," The younger brother asks "you need to slow down! Wait for me!"

His brother just kept running.

"ED!"

The younger boy was screaming now, he couldn't even see his brother now. He was alone. The boy collapsed in the grass. He blinked, and everything around him was white. There was a large gate sitting in front of him. The boy was trembling with fear. NO! He didn't want to be here! He looked around wildly for a way to escape.

"Al"

"Alphonse!"

The boy, Alphonse, looked up toward the voices calling him. There in the gate was his mother and brother. His mother reached for him.

"Mom," Al whispered as he reached for her.

But then he saw his arm disappear. He began screaming as his whole body dissolved into nothingness.

Alphonse Elric woke with a start. What a terrible dream! He looked toward where his brother, Edward Elric was sleeping soundly. Alphonse sighed. He had been having that dream since 1926. He took in his surroundings, He was on a plane. Right, he remembered that Ed had thought there was some kind of lead in the city of Spokane, Washington. Alphonse sighed, he seriously doubted this. Him and Ed, they were going to be stuck like this forever. Forever stuck never aging, in a world that was not their own.

You see they had been born in a different world, parallel to this one. In a country called Amestris. When they were young their father had abandoned them. Then in a tragic turn of events their mother died. The boys had been studying a science called Alchemy. They were really good at it. After studying with an Alchemy teacher, the boys committed a terrible taboo. In the process Ed had lost his leg, and Al had lost his entire body. In a desperate attempt to bring his brother back, Ed sacrificed his arm to tie Al's soul to a suit of armor. After this Ed had got Automail (artificial limbs), and joined the military. Edward was desperate to get their bodies back, so was Al. They had many adventures, and made many friends. They also made enemies. In their last adventure before everything changed AGAIN, Ed was killed by a homunculus (an artificial human made when an alchemist fails human transmutation). Al risked his life to bring his brother back. In turn Ed risked his life to bring Al's body, soul, and mind back from the gate. Ed succeeded, but was trust to the other side of the gate. So both brothers were separated for three years. Until on Ed's side of the gate, an evil woman broke through the gate. Ed managed to get back through, and along with Al and Roy Mustang (Ed's superior in the military) defeated the evil woman. Ed went back through the gate, and Al followed him. They destroyed they gate on this side, trapping them on this side of the gate. They didn't know it at the time, that something went wrong when they went through the gate that last time. They found out later, that after they reached the age 20 they didn't age. They also couldn't die.

They had found the secret to immortality, and they didn't even want it.

Alphonse ran his hand through his hair, they had been searching since then for a way to age, to die. They were so far unsuccessful though. He smirked, although they had given a certain mangaka an idea for a certain story. Al laughed, which caused some of the other passengers on the plane to give him a weird look. It was true they were the ones who had given Hiromu Arakawa the idea for Fullmetal Alchemist.

"Attention passengers," a voice said over the intercom "we will be landing in Spokane is about thirty minutes time."

Al sighed, he might as well rest now, and he wasn't going to get much rest when they get into town.

Al closed his eyes, and though of a life he had lived once before.
