Edward was walking down the street with his brother Alphonse.

"So did you do your homework, Brother?" Al asked.

Ed looked at his younger brother and sighed. "No."

Al laughed. His brother never did his homework. At school Ed and Al separated into two different hall ways. Edward went into his homeroom.

"Another boring day at school," Ed sighed. He went to the back and sat down in the corner. Ed didn't have any friends to talk to so he was always alone. He opened his book to his homework assignment. He put his book in page 105. Then he bent down to get his pencil, when he looked back at his book it was on a different page.

What the crap? Ed thought. There was a piece of paper stuck between the page. Ed read the paper. "The Kingdom of Shambala."

Edward was confused. "Shambala?"

The teacher came in. "Class please pass up your homework from last night."

"Great," Ed sighed. The class went on and boring than ever.

When is this class going to be over? Ed thought. After school Ed was waiting for his brother Al to come out.

"Brother!" al yelled.

Ed turned around. "Hurry up, Al!"

Al caught up with him and they started walking. Ed looked at his brother and back at the paper he found in his book.

"Al, do you know what the Kingdom of Shambala is?"

"Yes, it's a book. We have it."

"We do?"

Al chuckled. "Yeah it was your favorite book when were kids."

"Really, I don't remember," Ed said surprised. They got home and went to his room. He turned on his music.

why is my life so boring? Ed thought. He looked at his bookshelf. There was something on top of it. Ed got up and grabbed it. It was dusty so he blew the dust away.

"The Kingdom of Shambala," Ed read the cover. There were 20 chapters in it.

Edward sighed. "It's 20 chapters and I read it when I was little kid. I must be one smart guy."

Al came in the room. "I see you've found the book."

"Yeah I guess," Ed shrugged. They went down stairs for dinner. Like always their father wasn't here.

"I wish Mom was here," Al said looking down. Ed also felt the same way. Their mother past away when there were 10. Ed loved their mother so much. Al went to the kitchen to make something to eat. Ed can't cook to save his life but Al learned how to. Ed doesn't know when or how his brother learned how to cook and he doesn't really care.

After dinner Ed went to the living room to get on the computer.

"What are you going to do?" Al asked. His brother didn't answer him. Al sighed and went to do the dishes. Ed went to Yahoo to check his mail.

Please Father send us something so we can know when you are coming. Ed thought. There were no new mail. Ed grew angry and went to his room. He turned on his Ipod. "Where are you Father?"

Ed grabbed the book. He turned to the first page so he could read it.

"What the …." Edward shouted. The book had nothing written in it. He went to the back of the book and it was the same. The title that was once on there was gone!

"Al! Come here." Ed yelled. Then the book started glowing. Ed backed away from the book.

"What's going on!?"

A glowing figure grabbed Edward by the arm and pulled him into the book.

Ed heard birds singing and children laughing.. He opened his eyes and saw a man with black hair and eyes.

"Who are you?" he asked. Ed got up.

The man grabbed him. "Answer the question!"

"I'm Edward Elric." Ed said.

"Where are your papers?"

"Papers? Well the funny thing is I don't have any papers."

The man took Ed to a castle.

They got to the front gate. "Stay here. I'm going to talk to the king."

Ed nodded. He was very confused. All he can remember was that the book glowing and grabbing him. Ed turned around and saw a girl being bulled by a two men. He ran in front of the girl.

"Who are you!?" one of them asked. Ed didn't answer. One of them ran up to Ed and tried to punch him, but Ed stopped him with his right arm. Then he punched the guy with his other arm. The other man got his friend and ran away.

Ed smiled. "Chickens!"

Ed bent down and helped the girl up. "Are…"

But he couldn't finish because the girl kissed him. Ed stood there shocked and the girl left.

"Edward!" he heard a voice scream. He turned around and saw the black haired man.

Inside of the castle, the man is taking Edward to see the king.

"Now entering Colonel Mustang and Edward Elric." yelled a man.

Colonel Mustang? Ed thought.

"Edward…since you do not have papers you will be given two choices. Choice number one is become a knight and I will spare your life. Choice number two you will be taken to jail and will be executed by dawn. Pick one." the king said.

There was the Queen and the princess. She had pink bangs and brown hair. Beside the princess was another chair.

"Edward do you except the offer to become a knight?" the Queen asked.

Ed shrugged. "Sure."

"Excuse me?" the Queen said in angry voice.

I… mean yes your majesty." Ed stumbled. He heard foots steps and the girl that kiss him crusting to the King and Queen. She went and sat next to the pink banged princess.

she's also a princess!? But she doesn't look like the Queen or the other princess. Edward thought in shock. Mustang took Ed out of the castle and into a training ground.

"You will learn how to fight and Alchemy. You will meet your teacher tomorrow," Mustang stated. Ed nodded. "Who is my teacher?"

"A very powerful women," Mustang smiled.

A women!? He thought.

Then Mustang turned around and started to walk.

"Wait!" Ed shouted.

"Yes, what is it?" He asked.

Ed smiled. "Can I stay with you?"

"What?!"

"See, I don't have a place to live so…"

Mustang sighed. "Fine."

They got to Mustang's castle.

Ed was shocked at the size of it.

"I'm home," Mustang said.

Then they heard foot steps coming down the stairs.

"Welcome home, Roy," a woman with blonde hair and red eyes said.

"This is my wife Riza," Roy said.

Ed bowed. "nice to meet you. I'm Edward Elric."

She smiled. That night a maid took Ed to his room and gave him some new clothes.

"These are better than the ones you are wearing," she said. Ed took the clothes and the maid left.

Thank god I still have my ipod. Ed thought. He took it out and started hearing it. After a while he feel asleep. The next morning Ed woke up and smelled…

"Food!" Ed shouted. He ran the stairs.

Riza looked at Ed. "Wow, you're quick."

Edward didn't say anything. After breakfast, Roy took Ed to another castle.

"This will be where you will live until your training is finished," Roy stated and left. Ed was left there looking at the huge castle.

I have a bad feeling about this. Ed thought.

"Hey you!" someone shouted. Ed turned around and saw a woman standing with some guys. Ed gulped and opened his mouth but nothing came out.

The woman sighed. "Are you going to tell me or are you just going to stand there like an idiot?"

"I'm Edward Elric. Colonel Mustang told me you are going to train me," Ed said.

The woman turned around. "come on, we need to get some things before we start."

Ed followed her. "Are you going to tell me your name?"

"I'm Izumi," she said.
