FMA Kitties Invade My Life

By Fiore-the-Dragoness

Okay! Welcome to whomever stumbled across my story! This is my first story and, hopefully, I will get good reviews from it… This was originally going to be a one-shot, but I decided to make into a full-sized story! Please enjoy it! Also, please review and any and all flames will be used to make s'mores with!

Anyway, *ahem* presenting! My first story! (Well, after the disclaimer…)

Disclaimer: I don't own FMA, though I wish I did… Kudos to the person(s) who did the FMA kitties… I wish I owned them too… If you haven't seen the pics, you should go check them out on Photobucket dot com. I only own my character, her brother, and her parents.

"'Kat, can you get some groceries for me?' Oh yeah, sure Mom, it's only six in the morning…" Okay, so I was kidding about the time… In my defense, it was six AM for me… I grumbled to myself as I dragged myself out the door and into the humid June air. I grumbled some more as I walked by the alley that separated our house from the house next door.

"What was that for?"

"'Cuz he was bothering me!"

I stopped dead in my tracks. What… was… that…?

"Brother! Come back and apologize!"

"No way, Jose!"

"Brother!"

"NO!"

At this point, a small gold colored cat walked out of the alley and sat down. Another cat made entirely of metal followed him out. I facepalmed and told myself that it was morning. (If I get up too early, I will swear up and down that I hallucinate…) Apparently, the gold cat heard me…

"I know just how you feel…"

"Okay…" I whispered under my breath. "Now my imaginary cats can talk… joy… again, too early in the morning…"

"Hey! We're as real as you are," the gold spoke again.

"Brother speaks the truth," said the metal one.

Okay… I was officially creeped out… "Well! Thanks for the talk guys, but I've gotta go… and get stuff… in the freaking morning…"

The gold cat spared me a glance. "See ya, and by the way… what's your name?"

"I'm Katherine Snow."

The gold cat nodded. "I'm Edward Elric, but just call me Ed."

The metal cat nodded too. "I'm his little brother, Alphonse Elric, but just Al will do nicely."

"Okay… So you… cats are Ed and Al Elric… (Both cats nodded their assent at this statement) If I didn't know any better I would say that you two are the Ed and Al that live in Central..."

"Yep! That's us!" Al piped up.

Ed gave me a sideways look and I truly wished that I knew what was running through his mind…

My eyebrows rose. "But… why are you two… you know… here… and as cats…"

"Not quite sure…" They chorused.

For the first time, I looked at them closer. Al was, obviously, a completely metal cat. He had a bigger-looking body and stubby legs, making him appear heavier than he probably was. Al was also a bigger cat than Ed, obviously. Al really only had a stump for a tail and his glowing, red eyes kinda creeped me out a little.

Ed was, like I said earlier, a golden colored cat. He still had both of his automail limbs. His eyes were still gold but… his eyes were very human... for a cat, that is. Ed still had his trademark hairstyle: long bangs and a braid. His coat still hung cape-like around his neck and down his back. Ed also had a rather bushy tail.

"Fullmetal, where are you!" I peeked around the side of the building and saw a lean black cat with white gloves slinking around the alley.

"Is that Roy Mustang?" I asked.

Ed simply raised an *eyebrow* and glanced at me. "Yep... Wait… how did you…?"

I cut Ed off. "I'd better get going… It was nice meeting you two."

"You're welcome," Al replied.

"Brother, we had better get going… the Colonel looks pretty mad…"

"Okay! Jeeze Al! I'm coming!" The two cats disappeared into the alley and I walked down the street towards the supermarket. All I thought was: this is gonna be a looong week… but maybe I'll see them again… It's not every day you meet talking anime cats who happen to live next to you…

The next day I went out around the same time and peeked into the alley. A big silver mound launched itself from a trashcan onto my face.

"You came back!" Al joyfully cried.

"Yeah…" I replied while extracting myself from metal paws. "I wondered how you were getting on… wait… where's Ed?"

Cue Ed leaping onto the garbage can. "Present."

"Where do you live, Kat?" Al asked. I put down Al and simply pointed to the building on the left of where we now were. Al was ecstatic.

"Brother! Kat's our neighbor!"

"Really?" Wow… Ed's ears actually perked up as he asked that...

"Yep… So, I was wondering… How many of you guys are here, anyway?"

"Well…" Al started. "There is brother and I, the Colonel, Lieutenant Hawkeye, and Winry."

"You know…" Ed started. I really didn't like this look that Ed had… "Yesterday… how did you know Colonel Bastard…?"

I involuntarily flinched. Oh dear… I thought. How am I going to get out of this one…? I sighed.

"Well…"

"Fullmetal," with a crash, Roy Mustang literally leapt onto the scene. "Where have you two… why hello there, gorgeous!" Roy had finally noticed me and switched to womanizer mode. Was I actually pretty to him…?

"Um… hello," I replied. I had no idea whatsoever how to deal with him… Somehow Roy had taken hold of my hand and was… stroking it… He was looking at me as if we were the only two living things on the planet at the time. He was also saying something about dinner and candles and other random stuff… If it wasn't odd enough that a cat was trying to court a human, I don't know what is! I shot repetitive 'help me' looks at the brothers but both seemed to be in shock. At this point Riza literally flew onto the scene and tackled Roy off the trashcan…

Thank you very much, Riza! I thought in relief.

She was now chewing the poor guy out from behind the trashcan. I turned to Ed and Al but sent looks over my shoulder to where the two cats now were arguing.

"Well… With that odd occurrence out of the way… my mom apparently found the lot of you and wants to… ah…"

Al seemed to catch on. "Invite us in?"

"That's the gist… but she also wanted you to… stay with us… if you wanted to…" I stopped before I made this bad conversation get worse.

"I think it sounds great!" Al cheerily replied. "Right Brother?"

"Uh… yeah sure…"

"I'll go ask the others! Wait here please!"

In no time at all Al was back and leading a band of cats toward Ed and me. Ed still seemed to be in shock from the Roy incident… We all walked to my house. (I was carrying Ed because he didn't seem to want to move.) Al amazingly even got Roy and Riza to quit fighting and come with us! I was excited, to say the least. Ed finally got over the "Incident" (I'm going to call it that now) and told me to put him down, I happily obliged because he needed brushed horribly. He shot a look over his shoulder and walked away. Humph! I decided to ignore Ed and talked to Al instead. We got to the door of my house and I stopped the entourage of furries.

"Okay, before I let you all in, I need to set some ground rules… okay?" Ed muttered something and I shot him a death glare. He shut up, thankfully.

"First, no roughhousing in the house because my mom would kill me, and I, in turn, would kill whichever one(s) of you who started it. Got it?" All five nodded their heads in agreement. "Good! Second, I want none of you talking to other members of my family, they think that you all are just cats, and personally, I want it to stay that way. Third, there is to be no cussing, please!" I shot a pointed look at Ed who ignored me. "I will add or lengthen rules as needed, 'kay?" Cue nodding. "Alright, I welcome you to the Snow family!" I dramatically flung the door open, and all assembled rushed inside. I shook my head and headed into the kitchen to get some food for myself and our new guests.
