Eari slouched as she walked up the hill, dragging her feet. She really hated walking home from school. 'C'mon, almost home!' She thought, standing up straight. 'Its Tuesday, only three more days of the hell hole!' She got her mobile out of her pocket. Three thirty. She peered to her left and looked at the field. There was this large, gate type thing in the sky. Was someone going to heaven? Wait, was she going to die? How come that thing looked fimiliar? All of a sudden a boy fell out of it, slamming into the grass. Eari stood still, blinking blankly. Well, at least the rugby players weren't practicing today...What was she thinking? A boy fell out of a gate in the sky?????? She had to investigate this matter! ...Okay, she had been watching too much FMA. Sometimes she felt the urge to salute to her teachers. Or bow...she needed to lay off the anime. Eari ran back down the hill, her ginger hair blowing in the wind behind her. She climbed over the fence, running onto the field. Sure enough, there was a boy there. He looked a little bit older than she was, but not much or he would have been taller. He was blonde...well...not blonde exactly...more...gold? People used to call her hair gold... She poked the boys left arm. Poke, poke. Wait...She could be dealing with a corpse here...EEW MAGGOTS AND STUFF! Eari stood up in fright, when the boy woke up.
"Where am I?" Asked the boy.
"Uuum, you're at Burikkufierudozu*," Eari replied. *Japanese version of the place this was based on
"Wheres that?"
"Puraimausu."
"Wheres that?"
"Divan."
"Wheres that?"
"Enranddo."
"Wheres that?" By this time Eari was very confused.
"Jeez, if you just fell out of the sky you're not going to know where anything is are you?"
"Um, guess not." The boy stood up.
"You look familiar, don't suppose you could tell me your name could you sunshine?"
"SUNSHINE? I'm Edward Elric." Eari burst out laughing.
"Okay, that was funny. I said you looked familiar, but you don't need to say that! Have you been spying on me? Not many people know I like FMA..."
"FMA? Whats that? Whats so funny? Why is my name funny?"
"This is getting a bit ridiculous now." Eari began to molest 'Eds' right arm.
"Hey! What are you doing? Thats my arm!" Eari managed to pull up his sleeve to reveal shiny silver.
"...EH? Its the real ED?"
"Yeah, do you mind?" Ed tugged his arm out of Eari's grasp.
"Full size too..."
"WHO ARE YOU CALLING SO SHORT THEY GET SMALLER EVERY TIME THEY GO THROUGH THE GATE!"
"I always wanted to say this...you. Anyways we should get out of this field! This way!" Eari began to climb back over the fence. Ed followed. The walk to Eari's flat mostly consisited of Eari asking Ed questions. Eventually, they came to a big grey building. "Quite big isn't it?" Eari proudly announced.
"Even Eastern Headquarters was bigger," Ed retorted. "If this isn't a public or a community building, you must be pretty rich."
"I don't own all these idiot. Its a bit like the dorms, people live here. Its shared. Its called a block of flats."
"Oh, you're poor then."
"WE'RE NOT POOR!"
"Whatever." Eari unlocked the door and after four flights of stairs, she began to unlock another door. Ed breathed heavily. "You're saying you LIVE here?"
"You get used to it." Eari breathed normally.
"And this place STINKS!"
"You get used to it." She stepped inside. "Welcome to my humble aboard! Or...some shit like that." Ed followed Eari in. "I'm home! And uh, my friends here!"
"Hello!" Came a voice from upstairs. Eari went into the living room and went online. It was gone four by now because Ed held her up. Luckily, the screen said Mitsoka is online.
"Whats that?" Ed asked, pointing to the computer as he entered the room.
"Its a computer Ed, I'll explain it later." Eari got up the chat box and typed wat wud u say if i sed i had edward elric in my house.
Mitsoka typed back ?
cos i have edward elric in my house
hehehe
no im serious i'll go over urs now and prove it
huh
But Eari had already gone offline and was getting money from her mum. She ran back down the stairs, put her money in her pocket and zoomed out the door, leaving Ed standing there confused. "C'mon Ed!" Eari called and Ed zoomed out the door. They walked across the road towards the bus stop. There were a couple of people there, then a bus pulled up.
"Whats that?" Asked Ed. Eari payed for two child dayrider tickets and sat down. Ed went and sat down next to her.
"This is a bus Ed, don't act weird, we're in public." As it were, they were getting stared at. The bus pulled up in the city centre and Eari guessed which one they would be catching next, which luckily turned out to be the right one. After getting off, they crossed the road and begin to go down a hill. About four houses down, Eari went up a driveway. "Ed, stay there." She pointed to behind a bush and a wall. She walked up the stone steps and knocked on the door. A tall man answered with a small girl behind him.
"Oh, Eari! What are you doing here?" He asked.
"Well, you know, I was just in the neighbourhood and I had some free time...is Mitsoka in?"
The small girl who was Mitsoka's younger sister, Ai, shouted "Mitsoka! Eari's here!" Mitsoka instantly came running and stood there in the doorway, gobsmacked. The tall man who was Mitsoka's father and Ai, walked away.
"Eari!" Was all Mitsoka could say...she couldn't beleive that Eari had come all this way.
"Hey!" Eari replied. Then she remembered that Ed was still behind the wall/bush thing. "Get your fluffy coat and some shoes, I have someone for you to meet." Mitsoka was obedient and followed Eari down the stone steps and behind the wall/bush thing. "Mitsoka, this is Ed. Ed, this is Mitsoka."
"Hey!" Ed was trying not to act weird so he used Eari's greeting word from earlier.
"I-its Ed..." Mitsoka stuttered, pointing at Ed.
"Yeah," said Eari.
"WE HAVE TO SHOW NADESHIKO!"
"Yay! The more the merrier!" Eari and Mitsoka skipped off with a confused Ed following. After about five minutes because they were skipping, they got to Nadeshiko's house. Eari and Mitsoka rung the old fashioned bell that was outside the house, while Ed decided to stand behind another wall/bush thing. Nadeshiko's mother said that she was on the trampoline. So after she had shut the door, Eari and Mitsoka skipped up the driveway, getting Ed to follow. They entered the back garden, their heads bobbing to Nadeshiko on the trampoline. Nadeshiko stopped when she saw them.
"Eari-chan!" She bounced off the trampoline and ran over to Eari, hugging her.
"Nadeshiko!" Eari cheered. Nadeshiko spotted Ed.
"Huh? Who's this?"
"This is Ed." After staring at him blankly for a moment, Nadeshiko hugged Ed.
"Its Ed! Its just like in the fanfics!"
"She beleived that easily..." Eari and Mitsoka said to eachother. Then Eari remembered that she had yet to explain to Ed that he was an anime character in this world.
"Um, where is Ed going to stay? He can't stay at my place," Eari said.
"Nor mine," said Mitsoka.
"Not mine either," said Nadeshiko who had now gotten over the fact that Ed was there. Then an idea popped into her head. "Hey, if Ed can come here, maybe Kaname-sama can!"
"Yeah! Kaname-sama! We'll wait for you!" Eari prayed. Nadeshiko and Eari had stars in their eyes. Mitsoka slammed her hand to her head.
"Back to where I'm going to stay..." Said Ed.
"Who has practically an empty house and is trustworthy..." Mitsoka and Nadeshiko said. Then they started staring at Eari.
"What?" Said Eari. "Ah! No! Not my nans!" She side stepped away.
"What else are we going to do?" Asked Mitsoka. It was decided that they would take Ed to Eari's grandma's house. All the way Eari was sulking. She couldn't even get her nan to understand her own TV! This was going to really confusing for her. Eari's grandma was called Akane and Akane lived down the road from Mitsoka. She was surprised to find the four people on her doorstep. They sat in the living room while Akane made some squash and some biscuits because Eari and Ed hadn't eaten.
"So how are you gonna tell her?" Asked Nadeshiko.
"I have no clue," replied Eari. Akane came in and sat next to her.
"Um, grandma," she started.
"What is it Eari-chan?" Replied Akane. Hopefully this would explain things to Ed aswell.
"Well, theres this anime called Fullmetal Alchemist right? Well...at the end of it Edward Elric, the main character dies and goes into another world...and this is him." She waved at Ed.
"I see." Eari cheered inside. She understood! "This has happened before, long long time ago. Edward can stay here tonight."
"Yay!" Eari jumped up and did a little dance. Then she began to high five everyone. That evening Eari left Ed with Akane and Mitsoka's father took her home.
Yeah, I decided to start another story. But this isn't the end of Water Angel! I just do many different things at once. Its how I click. Review!
