Disclaimer: I do not own Fullmetal Alchemist
This is a gift for my amazing friend Desert.Moon, who is always making me so happy.
Iappreciate getting feedback from my readers, I love hearing their comments, questions, concerns, ideas and all that stuff. Just because I don't want people to be overly critical doesn't mean I'm a stuff shirt who doesn't want to hear any feed back. If you have some ideas or think that something was a little to outlandish you are free to tell me I love to hear the thoughts of others, they keep me down to earth.
Anyway to my Kit, you have given me so many ideas for so many things. This plot idea came to me a week ago after talking to you. Thus I give this peace of crap to you. (Also thanks for all the Snow names) I REALLY hope you like this…
--------------------The Shed--------------------
"Hurry up Kitty-Kat!!!"
"I'm trying Snow, gosh slow down."
Snow, or Isanne by everyone else, laughed as she pulled open the door to Kathrin's Grandmother's shed. "Your going to love this Kitty-Kat, I found it the other day when I was looking threw some of your Grandmother's stuff" pushing away a few boxes the young girl waved her hands dramatically toward the floor.
"Behold!"
Before her was a HUGE drawing of a red circle filled with funny symbols, Kathrin's green eyes looked over the drawing.
"Did you draw this Snow? I'm not sure Grandma's going to like it…"
The light haired girl shook her head "like I said I found it yesterday, while you were out."
Kathrin bet down inspecting the drawing "Looks kind of like Alchemy" all those fantasy books finely paid off.
"SWEET!!! How does it work!?! Can we make gold!?!"
Kathrin laughed at her best friend's enthusiasm "Alchemy isn't real silly, Grandma probably just did this when she was in one of her, ya know, crazes" Isanne nodded and knelt next to her friend.
"Let's summon someone"
"I just told you…" but the younger girl was already placing her hands on the circle as if she was some all powerful witch, a veryblond all powerful witch.
"God's of the Alchimney …"
"It's Alchemy"
"Right, God's of the Alchemy, I summon…. The great Ice Unicorn."
"A Unicorn?"
"Oh come on Kitty-Kat, play along"
Laughing the older girl placed her hands down like Isanne had done and closed her eyes.
"Come forth Unico…"
Suddenly the circle light up blue light exploding everywhere…
-----------------
"You'll never stop me!!"
Ed growled as he ran toward the older man, he was holding the secrets to a very deadly weapon that he had stolen from the labs where Edward and his brother where working. Edward had no idea what was in that book but he was in charge of getting it back (and possibility getting a look at what was inside). From the corner of his eye he saw his brother running down another hall trying to cut off the half crazy man.
Soon the chase led all three of them met in a large room. "It's over boys!!! I win" holding up the book he pulled out a page and threw it toward the brothers. Edward saw an Alchemy circle written.
"But Alche…." Blue light exploded from it…
------------------
"AHHH what did you DO!!!"
"I do!!! How do you know it wasn't you!!! Your grandmother's the one who drew this!!!"
"Something's coming out of it!!!"
"It's a demon!!! Kill it!!!"
Before Kathrin could stop her, Isanne had grabbed a broom that had been lying innocently near by and charged at the two figures.
"DIE DEAMONS DIE!!!"
"Ow what the HELL!!!"
"Brother!"
Isanne's broom landed square on Edward Elric's shoulder (what a welcome) the blond haired girl, however, didn't even stop to see what she hit, she just kept on whacking.
"Go back to Hell we don't want you!!!"
"Snow get away from them!!!"
"Ow stop it!!!"
Grabbing the young girl's broom Ed pulled it away from her grasp. Surprised the young girl just stood there for a moment blinking as if seeing the boys for the first time. The brunet behind her finely spoke.
"Snow they're just Boys."
"That's what they want us to think!!! No Human boy can pop up out of cement!!" at that the girl, Snow, kicked Ed in the shin, sadly (for her) it was his metal one.
"Owwwwww" she leapt back clutching her now hurt, and possible sprained, ankle. Al was instantly next to her.
"Are you ok?"
"Stay away from my SISTER!!!" Kathrin yelled running over and pushing the younger Elric away. Kneeling down she turned to her best friend.
"Snow are you…"
"What's going on in here?" the four teens looked up to see an elder woman standing in the shed's doorway. She had her hands on her hips with that 'you better explain now' look that adults give children.
"Alice!!! These freaky Alien boys popped out of the floor!!!!"
"We're not Aliens!!! And I have no idea how we got here" Edward shouted back at the pale blond girl who stuck out her tongue at him. The elder woman, Alice, raised a gray eyebrow as her keen eyes took in the scene before her.
"Looks like you all have a lot of explaining to do."
They had all walked out, or in Isanne's case limped, of the old shed and into the large brick building. Alice, Kathrin's grandmother, had ushered them into the kitchen, brushed away her Origami project, and had placed a plate of oatmeal cookies before the teens. "I swear she makes these just because I hate them" Kathrin muttered looking distastefully at the plate before her. If her grandmother had heard her she didn't show it. After setting everything out Alice sat gracefully on one of the chairs and looked at the four teens who were sitting at her table.
"Now let's start the expiations, Emma and some of her friends will be home soon so let's make this quick."
Nodding Kathrin spoke first "Snow took me into the shed to show me something…"
"It was that big Alchimney …"
"Alchemy" Edward corrected, the blond glared at him then continued.
"Anyways, we wanted the God of Alchemy to bring us a unicorn so we placed our hands on the circle thing and BAM!!! These Daemon's came, unless you guys ARE unicorns, are you unicorns?"
"First off there is no God of Alchemy, second how OLD ARE YOU!?!UNICORNS!?!"
"Brother pleases…."
Kathrin shook her head at her friend's expiation, "We were just fooling around… we didn't mean to really summon someone!!!"
"Besides, Alchemy isn't supposed to work in this world…" Edward added his hands folded on the table, his copper eyes hard. Alice sighed rubbing her temples. Kids these days, they got stranger and stranger.
"Well boys, I need to know what you were doing in my shad, seeing as neither of the girls WANTED you to be there. I'd like a VERY good explanation for why a couple of guys are hanging out around my house"
Both boys were silent for a moment, what do they say now?
"Grandma, you don't really get it, we weren't just fooling around in the shed and these guys happened to be in there. We placed out hands on that circle and there was this blue light and poof out popped these guys!" Isanne nodded agreeing with her friend. Alice sighed then turned to the boys.
"Ok let's hear your story."
"Well… you see" Al stammered glancing to his elder brother begging him to help him out.
"We have no idea how we got here Madam," Ed interrupted "We were in the research Lab in Germany"
"Germany!!!" both girls squeaked. Both boys nodded and Alice couldn't help cracking a smile.
"Well you're a far way from home."
"What do yo…"
"You happened to be in good 'ol Harpsherd Mississippi, America"
"WHAT!!" Edward exploded standing up in shock. Kathrin nodded confirming her friend's statement. Slumping back into his chair Edward folded his hands grumpily. Suddenly the sound of a car beeping could be heard outside. Alice stood up.
"Well that's Emma, we'll talk more about this after dinner, until then… you boys can help Kathrin and Isanne do their chores that theyconventionally forgot while summoning Unicorns" with that the older woman left not leaving any time for the boys to protest, which Ed looked like he wanted to do. Once her grandmother was gone Kathrin stood up as well.
"Well then let's get going,"
-----------------------------
Chores consisted of gathering wood and chopping it, or at least that's what they were doing right now. The girls where happy to have some "Strong men." as Kathrin put it, to do the chopping for them
"Well even if you guys are daemons I'm grateful you came" Isanne told them. both boys where chopping while the girls stacked. Apparently either girl liked chopping much.
"Sure what ever" Edward grumbled annoyed that he was being made to do manual labor. His brother, however, was must more polite.
"It's not big deal."
"Soooo are you guys related?" Kathrin asked
Al nodded "Oh that's right, we even introduced ourselves. I'm Alphonse Elric and that's my older, but much less mature, Brother Edward" his brother glared at him and the now giggling girls.
"Very funny Al"
"Well I'm Kathrin…."
"Kitty-Kat"
Kathrin glanced at her friend then continued "Whitefild"
"Snow or as everyone but Kitty-Kat calls me Isanne Hughes"
At this Ed almost lost his balance and Al almost chocked.
"W…what?"
Isanne blinked in surprise "It's not THAT odd, my name means ice, but snow soun…."
Ed shook his head "No, no I mean your related to Maes Huges?"
"Who?"
"Never mind"
At this Ed lifted his ax and swung it down, hard. Both girls watched him confused. "You have a problem relative" Kathrin whispered to her best friend. Isanne shrugged.
"Well it's not like I'm close to any of them"
"True"
"Kids Dinner!!!"
---------------------------------------
Dinner was pretty normal; fried chicken, mash potatoes, and green beans. Or normal for a average American family, for the Elric brothers it was a new dish entirely. But chopping wood works up and appetent and the boys weren't complaining.
Emma turned out to be a dark skinned nine year-old with two other nine year-old friends Tracy and Sandra. Tracy was very shy and only talked to Emma in low whispers. Sandra, on the other hand, was quite talkative and by then end of dinner had pretty much told Alphonse her whole life story. Isanne later remarked that the little girl had a crush on him. This made the younger Elric turned slightly red and laugh lightly.
"Hahah you're such a ladies man" Isanne giggled, deciding to take the nine year-old crush up a notch, "I bet you had hundreds of nine year-olds running after you where you lived."
"Isanne would you come in here and help me set up this game for the girls? Kat you and the boys wash the dishes"
"Ok Grams"
"You grandmother needs to get that dishwasher fixed… oh and Alz I'll be sure to tell your fangirl all about your wood chopping, to bad you had your shirt on… well next time I guess" the blond went into the other room laughing, leaving a poor flustered and very confused Alphonse. Kathrin laughed hanging him a sponge.
"You wash, Ed dries, I'll put away since I know where everything goes."
