Disclaimer: I do not own Full Metal Alchemist (sadly), Hiromu Arakawa is the genius who does. On the other hand I own Ashten. So HA, you can't call the FBI on me!!

Chapter One: "They're not real! Right?"
Edward Elric's POV:
Al and I were in Germany and Nazi party was growing. We needed to get out. If you're thinking I'm cowarded but I've got news for you. I am not a coward.

No, I think we need to leave because of Al. He's only 18 and he has experianced to much for his years. His childhood was snatched away from him and I want to try to return as much of it as I can.

So as I sat there pondering what we could do to get out of her back to Ametris an obvious answer popped into my head. Alchemy. With Al and myself's alchemy mixed I bet we would be strong enough to open the gates.

After about a monthes worth of calculating Al and I decided that we had the formula correct we decide to attempt it. Yet of course Al and I can never get anything right the first time around so that's how we ended up here. Lying in a ditch on the side of some road.

We didn't know where we were but we knew for sure we were not in Ametris.

The air in Ametris was clean and easy to breath but when you breathed here the air felt heavy. Like it was full of toxins. It hurt to breath here.

My eyelids were starting to feel heavy. I turned to look to my right to make sure my brother was still there. He was. Once I was sure of that I let myself fall into the darkness.

Ashten Mooney's POV:
All the sucky stuff always seemed to happen to me. First off my mom and my super awesome dad got a divorce, secondly she decided that we (in other words her) needed a new start so she moved us to some little city called Rapid City in South Dakota (far away from New York, New York where my dad lives) and thirdly she got married and decided to go on her honeymoon in Honolulu, Hawaii from December 20-January 3.

It was 9 pm and I was driving back from the airport (my mom's also pretty much nocturnal so she decided she wanted to take a night flight and John, my step dad, just couldn't say no) when my beautiful black Lincoln, Town Car decided it wanted to act up and started to sputter. So I pulled over to take a look under the hood.

When I got out of the warm car winter air bit at my cheeks. I shivered and glanced around me. At first I didn't see anything but then when I did my second look over I noticed something moved in the ditch.

As fast as I could I climbed back in my car and grabbed a flashlight. After finding one in my glove box I climbed back out and pointed it at the ditch.

What I saw shocked me into silence.

Alphonse and Edward Elric were laying in the ditch. My first thought was, How the hell is this possible? They're not real! Right?
