Alfons Heidrich was dreaming. At least that's what his brain kept telling him because there was know way this was happening. There was no way his best friend had dragged him into another world. No way that all Ed's stories were true.

He was sitting huddled by a pile of rubble as Ed, his brother Al, and a dark haired man who shot fire out of his hands finished off the last on Eckhart's army. Beside Alfons was Winry, who was apparently a friend of Ed's even though she had threatened to "bash his head in so far it comes out his ass" for making them worry.

"So, what's your name again?" Winry looked at Alfons with a small smile. She reminded him of his sister, Marie before she died.

"Alfons Heidrich"

"You a friend of Ed's"

"Yes"

"Are you ok?"

"Yes. Ow!" Where had that wrench came from?

"I'll ask again. Are you ok?" Winry was holding the wrench tightly in her hand.

"Yes." The wrench lifted. "No, of course not, I'm in another world with no way of getting home." Winry sighed and lowered the wrench. Ed was the only one who knew what being this lost felt like.

"Fullmetal behind you!" Ed whirled around and kicked away the last suit of armor with his automail foot.

"Is that all of them?" Roy Mustang nodded and pulled off one of his gloves.

"Ok, I've got a couple questions for you.

"Is this really the time?" Poor Ed's nerves were shot. He had pulled Alfons into the rocket to keep Hess from shooting him, resulting in a very cramped blast through the gate which had vanished as soon as Eckhart's rocket came through.

"Yes shorty"

"WHO YOU CALLING SHORT AS..." Mustang held up his hand.

"I didn't say that. All I want to know who the kid who looks like your brother is and how the hell you got here."

Ed sighed, this was going to take some explaining.
