This universe was brought about by a favorite Star Trek: Deep Space 9 episode. It was called Dax, in which Jadzia Dax stood trial for a crime a previous regeneration had been accused of. I said regeneration, I meant host. Trills are like Timelords (Doctor Who) in a way, but they're like little Gou'ald (Stargate) things at the same time. It's weird.
Anyways, here Ed (female) is accused of a crime and starts behaving like Jadzia did, leaving Al to act as Odo and play detective while Winry and Pinako play defense lawyers like Sisko. Then the fun begins.
Chapter One: Accused
Edwarda Elric wandered downstairs. She was back in Resembool, staying with the Rockbells until she could find a new job to support herself. Surely being ex-military would be some good. There was a knock on the door. "I've got it!" she said.
"Thanks, Ed!" Winry Elric hollered. She had recently before her sister-in-law.
Ed opened the door. Two officers she recognized as being from Central Command were standing there. "Edwarda Elric, you are under arrest for the murder of General Hakuro."
"He's dead?" she asked.
"Surely she has an alibi?" Winry cried. "Ed, you do, don't you?"
Ed said nothing.
"Sister?" Alphonse Elric said. "Did you kill him?"
"Of course not, Al."
"Then why won't you say something to defend yourself?"
"I can't."
"Why not?"
In Ed's silence, Pinako Rockbell stepped forward. "Innocent until proven guilty," she said, taking a puff from her pipe. "Prove our Ed guilty and only then will we allow you to take her." Another puff drifted up into the officers' faces as if challenging them to contradict her.
The officers left, unable to. They four went inside and shut the door. "Granny, I should go with them," Ed said, quietly.
"Don't be ridiculous, Edwarda. I'm not going to let you be convicted of something you didn't do," Pinako replied. "Winry, let's play lawyers."
"Ooh," said Winry. "That sounds fun. Al, go be a detective and find everything out you can in Central."
"Yes, Winry," said Al.
