PROLOGUE: A CRAZY IDEA
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away….
For some reason, the committee responsible for Resembool education had decided that the small elementary school should perform a play for the equally small town of Resembool. (A/N: 'STOP SAYING SMALL!!!!" "shut up, Ed!!!!")
Needless to say, the parents were thrilled at the idea of their children putting on such a drama. Throwing their support behind the act, they volunteered themselves (and their children) for roles. Trisha Elric was no different, and modestly offered to help her friend Sarah Rockbell with the creation of costumes. Everything was going smoothly until the administration encountered a slight problem…the cast.
When they told the juveniles (ages four to ten) that they would be putting on a production, they received little comprehension from their young audience. After explaining the meaning of the word "dramatization" they received many "ooohh…."'s from the soon to be actors and actresses. Then, unexpectedly, the whole assembly erupted in protests; it seemed that the youths were unwilling to cooperate. Not interested in doing the skit whatsoever. This was easily resolved when the parents came and told their kids that if they didn't do their school work, then they would be punished. Oh, if only all disputes could be settled by threatening to be sent to bed early.
And then came the problem of choosing the play. It was not a holiday season, so themed dramas were ruled out instantly; the school refused to align itself with one faith, so a religious play was dismissed; a romance was not appropriate for a young cast; and a musical was simply out of the question due to a lack of budget. Therefore, it was unanimously decided that they should choose an adventure; but it had to be something that the children would enjoy acting out. That was when Anonymous Board Executive A exclaimed:
"I know!!! We'll redo Star Wars!!!"
The idea was met with groans of refusal from the adults. Surely, not Star Wars. The shear idea was so old. Lame. Overused.
What the Board did not expect was that three children had listened in on the entire debate and that they would soon be spreading rumors about the "selected" play to their classmates—three children by the names of Alphonse, Edward, and Winry.
