TearDropTiffy here! Sorry this took a while, but I finally got this up. Anyway, this may be a little short, but hopefully it's okay?


To Alphonse, this world seemed very different from the one on the other side of the gate. Not only was alchemy unusable in this universe, but there was also the fact that people relied more on technology than anything else. A month has passed, and he still couldn't understand how people used their fingers to swipe on these little screens held in their hands. He was amazed at everything people had, such as television, computers, video cameras, and cellphones. He thought it was pretty neat, but he still couldn't pinpoint on how or why people used it.

Edward had a little more time to adjust to the new lifestyle, given the fact that he has been on the other side of the gate for about three years. The older brother explained to his younger brother about the differences between their side of the gate and the other side. All the younger brother had to do was experience it for himself, even if he was only thirteen.

Edward was now eighteen, and has taken in his younger brother. Noah found a new place to stay, though it was several miles away from the Elric's residence. She was hired as an entertainer, whether it was dancing, telling fortunes, or singing, she still did it. For her wisdom, people saw her more than a jypsy. They saw inspiration. She now loves what she does, and so do others around her, including the Elric Brothers.

Since Alphonse has moved in Edward's new apartment, Edward had to notify his landlord before some unlawful situations occurred. Edward was employed as a science teacher, so he had a decent income. Alphonse, of course, was shocked at the new career that his older brother was pursuing. Edward, himself, was also pretty surprised at the new turn in his career path.

Edward was very intelligent. He knew a lot about the building blocks of matter and all of the elements on the periodic table. He knew what compounds and chemicals mixed well and the ones that didn't. When he took the teacher's exam for science, the professors were stunned at the score he's received. Edward Elric has received a perfect score on the exam. It was rare to see somebody at such a young age to achieve a score such as that, especially when they had no schooling history. The Principle, Mr. Mustang, accepted him with no questions asked. He was thoroughly impressed with the young adult.

Currently, Edward has talked with Roy about Alphonse. Roy has given him some advice about the situation, leading him to the fact that Alphonse had to be registered into high School very shortly, otherwise child services will get involved with the case. Edward did not want that. He decided that he was going to make Alphonse attend to the high school Edward was currently teaching at. Alphonse was slightly displeased, but he knew the circumstances and the consequences if he did not attend. The younger brother decided to look on the bright side of high school.

"There will be other people my age.' He thought. 'Maybe I'll make some friends and learn something new at this place.' The young boy optimized. He thought about it more and more, and soon realized that there were more good things about school than bad.

How'd you like it? There's more to come, I promise, but in the mean time, you can review and tell me what you like or don't like. There's some more information about this fanfiction if you would like to look at it. If only this was a longer chapter...
