This is my first fanfiction so please go easy on me!

Anyway, here's Heart of an Alchemist!

Chapter One

"I can't believe you Edward! This was my best Automail! How could you just break it like this?" a light blonde-haired girl yelled as she examined a boy's mechanical arm.

"Winry, just shut up and screw off," the boy – Edward – replied in a mumble. He was pissed that his Automail arm snapped while he was lifting a couple of boxes. He felt like yelling that the Automail was a piece of crap, but didn't want to start another fight with Winry and have to put up with her obnoxious replies.

"What was that!" Winry snapped, grabbing a large wrench tight in her hand.

"Nothing."

Winry lifted up Edward's Automail arm and examined it. "Doesn't look all that bad, a few pieces just popped out. Shouldn't take too long." She picked out a few parts from her kit and went to work.

"Hey Brother, is she done yet?" a large suit of armor walked into the room.

"Hey, Alphonse," the two said as he entered the room.

" Finished." Winry put away her tools, while Ed threw a couple punches with his newly fixed arm. "I still can't believe you broke it so easily. My Automail can carry a couple of little packages around; you've been reckless again haven't you?"

Alphonse jumped in before Ed could reply. "Don't say that, it was probably just worn out because you haven't worked on it in a while."

"Whatever Al, it's just that you called me all the way from Resembool to Central for this. I'm going to have to stay here tonight."

"That's OK, we don't mind having you around, right Ed?"

Edward was putting on his shirt and jackets. "Sure, Al. As long as she doesn't want to go shopping."

----------------------------------------

Winry peered out her window. It was getting late and the sky was darkening. She didn't feel like sleeping. She was bored and wanted to be out with Al and Ed. She thought back to earlier when she asked if the two brothers would like to go roaming the city with her. Al was nice enough about it, but Ed gave a strait-out "No, we've got something else to do." Winry wondered what was so important that her two friends couldn't tell her about it. She sat for a few more minutes staring off into space. She finally decided that she didn't care how important this thing they did was, if they had told her about it she might have been able to help. She jogged out of her room and went to search for them.

----------------------------------------

Edward and Alphonse sat in an old warehouse surrounded by books on alchemy. Ed was drawing out an array on the floor with chalk, while Al held out a book for him so he could make sure he was doing it right. "That's it," Edward said. He laid down his chalk and looked at a book. Alphonse was double-checking the array. Ed reached into his pocket and grabbed a bulky object. "Are you…ready?" Edward asked with a shiver in his voice.

Alphonse hesitated. "Yes."

"All right." Ed took his hand out of his pocket. The item he took out was a blood-red stone.

The Philosopher's Stone.

The boys were going to do what they had dreamt of doing since the day they burned down their house. Get their bodies back. Both of them were afraid to do it. They were risking a lot by doing this. Ed could lose more of his body, or they could both wind up dead. If they did die then they wouldn't just hurt themselves, it would also hurt their friends. Some of the other officers in the military, Aunt Pinako, and most of all, Winry. She'd never get over it. They didn't want to leave her behind, especially since they had just lied to her. Edward did break his Automail while carrying the boxes, but it wasn't because Winry hadn't checked it out in a while. They had been reckless, and had finally found the Philosophers Stone in doing so. Before they called Winry down they waited for Ed's wounds to heal so she wouldn't be too suspicious.

"Let's do it Brother. We can't be afraid to keep going. We've come too far to stop. We've been through too much; if we stop now then it will have all been for nothing!"

"…You're right, Al. We have to do this." Ed walked to the center of the transmutation circle and placed the stone on the ground. He walked out and crouched on his knees as Al was doing.

"Ready…" Al started.

"Steady…" Ed continued.

"Go!" they said together. They put their hands on the side of the array. It started to glow and a red light shot around the room like lightning from the Philosophers Stone. The room suddenly started to get dark, and Ed was getting a bad feeling. It was too much like when they tried to bring back their mother, which went horribly wrong.

"Brother, look out!" Al yelled. Ed looked down and saw himself sinking into a dark hole. He tried to get away, but it was pulling him in too fast.

"Alphonse! Help me!" Ed tossed up an arm for him to grab, but right when Al's hand was about to grab his, Al's empty armor fell to the ground.

"Al? Al!" Edward had already sunken into the hole to where it engulfed most of his arms. His head was about to go under and the last thing he saw before he blacked out was his brother's motionless armor… and a strange white light.
