The authoress does not own Fullmetal Alchemist…or Final Fantasy…or Torchwood.


Two teenage girls were merrily chatting their way down the streets of Central. One seemed to appear fairly normal, with long, curly brown hair and blue eyes. The other stood out 'slightly', with shorter, shining silver hair and piercing green eyes, but the residents put this unusual colouration down to alchemy, or some new trend that would soon sweep the streets.

While appearing normal, they were in fact, from another world, vastly different to this one. They had the ability to travel between alternate realities and dimensions. And right now, they had travelled to Central in search of some fun.

"So, you used to live here, Jade?" the brunette asked her friend.

"Yeah, I studied alchemy here with the state military. I'm a state alchemist," she said proudly, pulling out a shiny metal pocket watch.

"Can't be too difficult if you managed to do it," her friend teased.

"Shut up, Nia! I'd like to see you try!"

Nia laughed, before a deep contemplative thoughtful expression crossed her face. "Alright then. How can I start?"

"We can go to the library – that's not far…"

Quarter of an hour later, the two girls were stood in the middle of a busy road, shouting their heads off.

"What do you mean, 'we're lost'?" Nia shouted incredulously.

"I was following you!"

"That's a stupid thing to do, I've never even been here before! Besides, I was following you!"

They paid no attention to the crowds that parted easily around them, eager to be out of the way of the arguing girls.

Nia sighed. "We'll just ask for directions."

"Okay," Jade agreed…and didn't move an inch.

"Of course, 'we' has to mean 'me'…" Nia muttered, looking for someone to ask.

Nia's eyes settled on a blonde, longhaired boy, who wore his hair slicked back into a plaited ponytail, except for a few bangs that framed his face – including his amber eyes.

"Excuse me," she said loudly, walking over to him. He seemed not to hear, so Nia quickly said the first thing that entered her mind. "Oi, shortie!"

This proved to be a big mistake…
