Yeah, so this is my long lost story. I unearthed it a few days ago, and decided to type it. Have fun with it! And no, I don't own any of the copywrited characters, countries, or objects in this story. So don't sue the pennyless student!

"AL!" Ed screamed, running across the room. Al just had to be standing in the middle when Shao opened a portal. "Return to me, my body! My family!" Shao shouted. 'What a nutjob,' Ed thought. "AL! Get off that damn circle!"

"I-can't-brother," Al struggled to move his disabled legs. Ed rolled his eyes and bit the bullet, running on to the transmutation circle. There was a flash of blue white light and Ed and Al saw the gate.

"Oh no!" Al clanked around, trying to escape. Turned out that was not necessary. "A SECOND gate?!" Ed was in total awe. How the hell could there be a second gate? There was only two worlds right? RIGHT?!?!

The other gate opened and sucked Ed and Al in. Ed hit some thing soft, then the ground. Owie.

Holly's POV

Tina and her "secret twin" Holly were walking down the empty halls of MIT. Tina and Holly hed helped out ofter their technology classes to get some extra points. "Why is it," Holly whined to the blank walls. "That we do great on the hands on tests, but written tests, we suck?"

"I HATE written tests," Tina agreed. Suddenly, sonething manifested itself out of thin air and fell on Tina.

FIRST PERSON!

A clatter of metal behind me caused me to whip around fast. A suit of armor? What the hell?

Tina shoved the thing that fell on her off. "Oh, my , God." She said, getting up. "What the crap." Whatever it was got up and sighed as the right arm hung uselessly.

Tina's POV

Oh my God, what jerk crashed int o me? Holly's eyes almost fell out and she pointed behind me.

"Damn," Whoever it was cursed. "This arm seriously sucks. I have to talk to Winry."

"What?! You idiot. You going to apologize for- oh." I turned around, prepared to beat the baka to the ground and saw him clearly. Blond hair caught back in a braid. Red jacket, black suit underneath. Golden eyes. Right arm not quite working.

Edward Elric.

Holy God.

"But then again, where am I?" Ed looked up at our shocked faces. "What?"

Holly motioned me over for a little chat. "Okay, now what? That's Ed and I suspect the armor is-"

"Al, you idiot." Ed kicked the pile of armor lightly.

"Alphonse." Holly finished. "What are we supposed to say? Oh right, you don't exist here?"

"I'm thinking!" I hissed tersely. Oooohh God in heaven.

"Look, I'm going to get some tools from the workshop. Alphonse and Edward need some work desperatly. I'll do Al. He's less likely to hit me." Holly scuttled off in search of our tools. We both were majoring in medical technology, i.e. combining machines with humans. They seemed to have already perfected the art. Holly came rushing back with our tool box. She slammed it down, kneeled next to the suit of armor and asked, "Now, what can't you move?"

"My legs," came the little tinny reply from the armor. "Right," Holly got down to business.

I glanced at Ed, who was looking at me like he wasn't sure he trusted us. "You going to let me help you?"

Ed flopped on the floor, pulling off his jacket. I dug out a unversal wrench and examined the arm. It was amazing. "Do you know how this works?" I inquired.

"The auto mail is fused to my nerves so my brain can control it. Don't you have auto mail?"

"No," I determinedly not looking at his gorgeous chest. I loosened a screw to see the effect. The arm wobbled and near fell apart. "Ah, whoops." I giggled sheepishly, tightening the screw. "How did You get here?" I asked as I pulled off the top shoulder plate and began working on the wires underneath. "Just my luck, I found there is a second gate way too late to do any thing. Where am I any way?"

"Ummm...well...you're not in Amestris."

"Where then?"

"New England, Massachusetts."

"A piece of England broke off and floated away?!"

I heard Holly snort, trying no to laugh.

"No, in America. This is 2006."

Holly chimed in. "And bad news," Ed looked at her. "People don't think alchemy exists." Ed's mouth dropped open and his face turned purple. "And worse-"

"Holly, will you shut up!" She barreled on. "No. They gotta know before we get in massive trouble. You guys only exist as a television show. An anime."

Both Ed and Al fell over. "Nice. Real nice, Holly."

"Well they had to know." Ed sat back up, looking very annoyed. "Al, we have to figure a way to get back."

"All fixed! Some one just loosened a few screws, thats all." Holly grinned at her success. Al stood up and jumped a little. The whole hall rattled. "Whoopsie." said Al. "I can stand again!"

"Who sent you though?" I was still working on Ed's malfunctioning arm. "That Shao creep. I thought he was dead." I reached around Ed to get under his shoulder blade plate. I was practically hugging him. Oh Goddy God. I was touching his friggin' awesome chest. A light blush crept up my cheeks. Unbeknownst to me, a certain blond haired alchemist blushed, too. I put back the plate. "Done."

Ed flexed his fingers, then clapped his hands and transmuted my penlight into a very fancy looking fountain pen.

"WOW," Both our jaws were down. Holly look at Al. "Can you do that?"

"Yeah, but not like Brother! He can do it without a circle."

"I know," I said faintly. I couldn't belielve the real FullMetal Alchemist was here, in Massachusetts no less. A horrid thought struck me. Holly had the same thought and let out an "eep!"

"Tina," Holly said very tense. "Where are they staying?"

"We have no choice. They can't be out there on their own. They'll be instantly recognized."

"So they're staying with us."

"Yeah." Me and Holly had shared an apartment near MIT for a year now. It was expensive, but it was worth it.

"WHAT?"

Oh yeah, go me. Chapter one! Give me some of that hot review!
