On the clearest of nights, when the skies of Amestris were calm and peaceful.

The great merchant ships, with their cargo of pure Creta crystals and jewels, felt safe and secure.

Little did they suspect

that they were pursued by pirates.

And who was the most feared of all these pirates?

Why, it was the notorious Captain Bradly.

Like a Drachma zap-wing overtaking it's prey-

"Alphonse and Edward Elric!" In a mad scramble to cover their tracks, the young brothers fumbled with the pages of the old fairytale. They finally closed the book, ceasing the narrators talking and leaving both their hearts thumping out of their chests. Both had managed to quickly lay their heads down acting as if they were asleep. (Edward even adding a snore for special effect) Their mother quickly swung open the door, her hands placed firmly on her hips and an eyebrow raised in suspicion.

"I thought I told you both to go to sleep hours ago." Alphonse opened one eye, just enough to see their mother in the doorway shaking her head in disapproval. He sat up finding it pointless to pretend anymore. He nudged his brother 'awake', causing him to whine. "Moooom! We were just getting to the best part!" Alphonse grabbed the book from under the covers, holding it close to his heart. "Please Mom~" he added giving his signature puppy dog eyes. Edward quickly did the same, placing his face close to his younger brothers. Knowing they had their poor mother cornered.

An unstoppable smile spread the woman's face. Her anger and frustration quickly washing away. "You two are no fair! Ganging up on me like this." After a few more minutes of trying to resit the boys overly cute expressions, she finally let out a defeated sigh.

"Scootch over."

The brothers gave a collective cheer, happily making a space in between them for her. Alphonse handed her the book, quickly flipping to the page he and Edward had left off. The page glowed and the pictures came to life. The narrators voice quickly filled the room once again.

Like a Drachma zap-wing overtaking its prey

Bradly and his band of Humunculi swooped in out of no where.

Quickly taking what they thought to be theirs,

as well as the most powerful object in the known universe.

The Philosophers Stone.

Then, once gathering the rest of their spoils,

vanished without a trace.

"Oooh!" the trio gasped in unison. Their mother took the liberty this time to turn the page. Finding her two children completely engulfed and memorized by the story.

Bradly secret trove was never found.

But stories have said that it remains hidden

somewhere at the farthest reaches of the galaxy.

Stowed with riches beyond imagination,

the lot of a thousand worlds-

"Treasure Planet!" both boys finished in amazement. Their mother quickly shut the book, pulling them from their fantasy land. "Okie Dokie you two, time for bed." "How do you think he did it Mom?" Edward asked while climbing to the top of the wooden headboard "How'd he swoop in out of nowhere-" he belly flopped the board, only to be quickly caught in his mothers arms before he reached the bed. Alphonse however snaked under the heavy covers, popping out the other side finishing his brothers question for him "-and then vanished without a trace?"

"I have no idea, but maybe" she pulled Alphonse by his feet. Bringing his giggling form into a tight hug along with Edward. "You little masterminds will be the one's to figure it out!" she laughed.

After a few more minutes of tickling and laughing, the rambunctious duo finally let out a tired yawn. Without a single protest, Edward let his mother carry him over to his respective bed. She tucked the blonde in leaving a gentle kiss on his forehead. "Night Mom." Edward yawned meekly "Goodnight darling." She turned around, needing only to take a few steps before reaching Alphonse and doing the same. "Nighty-night Mom" "Nighty-night sweetheart" she left a similar kiss on his forehead. She paused in the doorway, turning to them with a warm smile. "I love you." "Love you to" they both mumbled. In mere seconds, they were both enclosed in darkness and silence.

Edward felt that a reasonable amount of time had gone by. His golden eyes scanned the room around him, trying to adjust. His mother have had to been asleep by now.

Perfect.

He quickly crawled out of his bed and tiptoed over to Alphonse. "Al...Hey Al you awake?...Al!" he harshly whispered nudging his brother. But all he got in response was him shifting a little and burying himself deeper into the pillow. Edward simply shrugged, allowing his brother to sleep. He grabbed the book his mother had left on the nightstand and rushed back under his covers. He hoped that being under the heavy sheets would muffle some of the noise. He slowly opened the leather bound book, the story coming to life once again.

There are nights

when the winds of Amestris,

so inviting in their promise of flight and freedom,

made one's spirit soar!

A/N: Alrighty. This is some-what based off of Disney's 'Treasure Planet'. It follows the same basic plot. But there will (obviously) be changes and it may not necessarily end the same. *eyebrow wiggle* Yes its basically the same style as 'Treasure Planet'. So that means aliens, steam-punk-ness, pirate ships that fly through space, different planets and all that jazz.

BUT don't be fooled, this is still an FMA fanfiction. Which means there is still alchemy, Edward still lost his arm and leg, Winry is a gear head etc. etc. Two changes however are that Alphonse isn't trapped in his armor and their mother is still very much alive...maybe.
