Hello! Well, a new story...but this is by my sister (mostly), I helped with it. She asked me to post it on my account because she doesn't normally write fanfiction. So, she came up with the plot and I helped to write, though she did the most of it lol. Please read and send your thoughts on it in a review!!! Thanks!

Disclaimer: The characters of FMA do not belong to me or my sister. Kairi and Kara Hitame are the characters of Kairi Hitame (my sister). The plot is also ours too. Any other unknown characters mentioned are OCs too.

Profile of the Hitame sisters:

Kairi Hitame: 17 years old, black hair to mid back, airhead most of the time, manga obsessed

Kara Hitame: 15 years old, blonde hair to mid back, the smarter of the two

Both girls knew nothing about the Fullmetal Alchemist world or of the journey the two would soon go on. Like any good fantasy story, Kairi and Kara's started on a day that began like all the others.

Journey of a Lifetime

Chapter 1

---

One rainy afternoon Kairi said, "Kara, I'm bored. Let's get some manga!"

Kara replied, "Don't you have enough as it is?"

Kairi pouted. "Aw, don't be like that. You can never have too much manga!"

"Except when your room is full of it," Kara stated in a monotone voice.

"Pffft. You don't know what your talking about. C'mon, I'll get you a plushy," Kairi bribed.

"Only if it's Yoko."

"All right, all right. You got a deal. Let's go."

"Kay!"

Kara and Kairi ventured to nearest mall to claim their prizes. While they were walking among the crowds, a shadowy man in a long overcoat brushes by Kara, knocking her into Kairi.

Kara cried out, "Hey!" while Kairi cried "Kara!" at the same time.

The man just kept walking muttering a small "Heh!" as he went.

'Huh? What's with him? Isn't he mad?' Kairi thought, and turned to her sister "Ne, Kara-chan. Don't you think that man's a little weird?"

"Yeah, I guess so," Kara said slowly.

They only walked a few more steps when they heard a voice from behind. Turning around, the two girls saw it was the mysterious man that knocked Kara over, before they turned to move on. Then they heard what the man was saying.

"So sorry ladies and gentlemen, you've just breathed your last," he said in a creepy tone.

Kara stopped in her tracks and turned slowly to stare in shock at the guy. Kairi simply turned and said "Huh?"

Kara whacked Kairi who blurted, "Ow. What was that for?"

"You're an idiot," Kara said.

"What? Why am I an idiot?" A confused Kairi asked.

"Idiot. Idiot. We're going to die!"

"Uh, yeah. He just said that."

Kara hit her forehead thinking 'What an idiot.'

At that point, the man hit a switch in his jacket and everything started to be swallowed up by the blast. Kara and Kairi watch as the explosion expanded to engulf them with everyone else around them.

All of a sudden, their world darkened and they knew no more.
