Author's note: For any of you unfamiliar with Full Metal Alchemist, here is a brief (cough) summary of the main points of importance (FMA readers feel free to skip to end):

Summary

Edward and Alphonse Elric live in a world where alchemy is as common as television (which they have never heard of). They have been learning alchemy from their teacher, Izumi, from a very young age. When and Al were 10 and 8, respectively, their mother died and the boys attempted to bring her back using the forbidden art of human transmutation. The ritual went terribly wrong and Ed's leg and Al's entire body were consumed by "The Gate". At the cost of his right arm, Ed was able to transmute Al's soul into a suit of armour. Now, six years later Ed, equipped with automail (mechanical metal limbs, think Luke and Anakin Skywalker's arms) is a state alchemist, code name the Full Metal Alchemist. The boys are in Resembool with their friend Winry Rockbell at the time of this story.

One last point of interest is that Ed is 'vertically challenged' (in other words, short) and very sensitive about it.

End Summary

Now, without further ado, here is the story. Enjoy!

Chapter 1: Laughing on the Lawn

Edward Elric stared up at the sky and blinked. He didn't know where he was or how he got there. All he knew was that one minute, he had been standing with his brother in the middle of their hotel room in Resembool, and the next, here he was, standing in what appeared to be someone's front lawn.

He looked around and spotted something that he thought he might never see again. He gasped.

"Al?!" he said, dumbfounded.

"Brother?" said Alphonse, looking down at himself in disbelief. For the first time in six years, Al was not staring at a suit of armour. He was looking at his own body.

And then, suddenly, Ed began to curse. Al patiently waited until the torrent subsided before he asked, "What's wrong?" Ed glared at him and replied, "I'm two years older than you, you've got your normal body back, and you're still taller than me!"

And then, despite the very awkward and confusing situation, they both burst out laughing.
