It was a normal day on the S.S. Tipton, but something in the air was different. They weren't sure if it was Woody's foul gasses, or something else. That is, until something shook the ship.

"Ok, nobody worry! We have the ship attendants seeing what happened… so everything will be fine!" Miss Tutweiller said.

An attendant walked up to her, "We found a young boy about 12 in the water where the shaking came from."

"Oh dear… um… Ok, everyone, everything is fine, resume your… activities…"

"Did you hear that? some little kid was found in the ocean!" Bailey said.

"maybe it's a merman!" Woody stated.

"Last time you thought someone was a mermaid it turned out to be some girl addicted to swimming!" Zack said.

"Well, I might be right this time!"

"You're hopeless…"

Bailey sighed, "I hope he's ok, why would a little kid be way out here in the ocean?"

"Maybe it's the same thing that happened to Marissa."

"That's highly implausible," Cody said, "Note that the attendant said he was 12, no 12 year old could venture this far into the ocean."

"Well I'm gonna go check on him, poor thing…" Bailey walked off.

She walked into the infirmary to see a boy with blond hair tied into a braid. He was wearing a red over coat with white gloves and black clothes underneath. He was unconscious and soaking wet. She walked over to him to look at his face. "How could such a small thing be way out here?"

"WHO YOU CALLING A MIGIT YOU CAN'T BE SEEN WITH A 1000X MICROSCOPE!!!" The boy was standing up on the bed now.

"Woah! I didn't say anything like that!"

"Who are you?"

"Bailey Pickett! What's your name?"

"Edward Elric…"

"Is it ok if I call you Eddie?"

"Ed will do."

"So uh… what were you doing way out in the middle of the ocean?"

"I was where!?" His eyes suddenly showed he was worried.

"Out in the middle of the ocean. What's wrong?"

"Did you see suit of armor out there?"

"Err, I didn't pull you on board… a few of the attendants did."

Edward jumped off the bed and ran out. He continued to run until he bumped into Mr. Moseby, both fell on their rears. "Oh I'm sorry, I wasn't watching where I was going… um… do you happen to know what they just pulled out of the ocean besides me?"

Moseby stood up and reached his hand out to help Ed up. "I'm sorry, you were all that was there…"

He it with a sigh as he stood. "Thanks… would you happen to know where I can get some food? I'm uh… not from around wherever you are from…"

"Ah, we will assist you! We'll give you a free room to stay in until you get it all sorted out."

"Thanks… could I get a job here? I kinda need the money"

"Yes, Just fill this out and we'll find you a proper room. "

Moseby handed Ed a clipboard with a sheet asking a bunch of questions. He filled it out like so:

Name: Edward Elric

Age: 16

Skills: I can create almost anything

Medical Issues/Disorders: I have a prosthetic arm and leg.

Phone: none

Cell: none

Etc…

After he finished filling the sheet out he handed it to Moseby who gave him a key, "Oh! You're a teenager, in that case I'll enroll you into the school, the information about your job and schoolwork will be sent to your room. Floor 2 room 221, right by the Delinquent's rooms. "

"Who?"

"Zackary and Cody Martin…"

Edward laughed. "All right, see you later, I guess!"

"Oh take this." He handed him a card. "You can use this until you get your own money."

"Thanks." With that, Ed headed for the skydeck. He sat in one of the lounge chairs trying to remember what had happened before he woke up here. He closed his eyes trying to picture it.

~Flasback~

Ed stood before the door of truth the black hands reached out and pulled him in. As he went inside he reached for his brother's soul and soon he was in water, a few feet deep. He held his breath trying to reach the surface but run out of oxygen and became unconscious.

He woke up when he felt a tug at his arm. "What is it, Alphonse?"

"Son, calm down we're getting you on board." He fell back into his subconsciousness to wake up to Bailey remarking at how small he was.

~End of Flashback~

"Big brother, why are you crying?" Ed's eyes widened that voice… He looked to his left and he was right, a little girl greatly resembling Nina was standing in there.

"Oh, I was crying?"

"Oh, I'm greatly sorry about my daughter bothering you… I'm Shou Tucker; I'm working on experiments and decided to take my daughter on this boat with me to get a rest from it all."

Ed did his best not to harm the man, but his hands clenched up. "IT's fine, I used to know someone just like her…"

Both of them left Ed to do whatever he wanted. He walked up to the smoothie bar, "One mango smoothie please..."

"Zack Martin at your service!" He grabbed a cup and made the smoothie. Ed started to drink it after it was given. "So, kid, where's your mommy and daddy?"

The cup was now in pieces, "Do you inquire that I'm young because of my height?"

"Yes, yes I do!"

In a split second Ed had Zack on the floor and he was strangling him. "DON'T CALL ME SHORT OR I'LL RIP YOUR LIMPS OFF AND FEED 'EM TO THES SHARKS!"

"Gee! Ok! Get off!"

Ed stood up, a vein on his forehead.

"How old are you anyway?"

"16"

"Wow!"

"Don't try that again or I'll do it this time!!"

"There he is!" it was Bailey. "This is the kid they pulled out of the water, Cody."

"Cody Martin, the smart one…"

"Won't be the smart one after I'm done with you…"

"Eh?"

"I'm enrolling into the little school here! I'll bet you that I'll be the A student here!"
