Hello! How are you all doing? Ok, to start off, I'm new to the FMA world, but I'm a huge fan. For a while now, I have been anticipating to write something like this and to make up an OC of my own. The concept is like any other Girl-Gets-Caught-In-Another-Dimension fan fiction except with my own twists. I hope you come to accept this story and me as well since it's my first time writing an FMA fic (I usually only do Avatar ones) and all. I'm also new to anime/manga and I just got my first manga book of Bleach yesterday. I prefer manga better than anime, but that's just my opinion. Questions/comments/concerns can be permitted in a review as requested by moi, but no flames. If there are flames, I will personally call up Roy to burn you alive and then feed you to my kitten. Thanks and enjoy!

Natalia sighed heavily as she rubbed her temples, looking down quickly at her first volume of Bleach as her English teacher spoke. Her mom said she was smarter than what her teachers gave her credit for, but Natalia didn't believe a word of it. She was in standard classes, not AP, but she got bored of the lessons quickly and usually slept in the back of the class where it was dark and warm, a perfect place for napping.
But on occasions, like today – which, by the way, was the day she turned 16 – she would bring a book to read as the teacher droned on and on about some lesson she already knew about.
"Natty," Alexis whispered harshly, making Natalia look over at the small blond girl sitting in the next isle over, "I got you a present." With that said, the blue eyed girl handed over a small bag. It wasn't heavy, just small and light in weight. It was purple, Natalia's second favorite color next to blue, with a pink ribbon on it. "I figured you'd need some cheering up, you know, with the divorce and all."
Natalia cringed and snatched up the bag, placing it on the empty seat next to her as she said in her rough voice, "I didn't need to be reminded of that right now, thank you very much."
Alexis just smiled apologetically and went back to paying attention to the teacher. Natalia looked over at the bag once before quietly, so as not to disturb anyone, opening it to reveal a pen and a note along with a poster of all of her favorite anime's for the time being. This poster included Bleach – Natalia's most recent anime, Naruto – the one she had gotten into just two weeks prior, Avatar: The Last Airbender – it wasn't an anime, but it was considered one by her, and her longtime favorite of almost two whole years, Fullmetal Alchemist – either season was great, but she preferred Brotherhood.
The pen was for her pen collection, for she had been asking multiple people for them for her sixteenth birthday, but Alexis was the only one who gave her one. She was grateful that at least her nerdy friend – scratch that, her only friend had thought of what she had wanted personally.
Turning to the side, and making sure Alexis was watching her, she mouthed "thank you" and smiled the rest of the day.

Natalia heaved her heavy book bag up her shoulder once more with a sigh. Why oh why had her teachers assigned so much homework? Where they trying to throw her back out of whack? Or did they just love to torture the girl on her birthday? None of these would ever be questioned out loud because if one of her parents heard her say something like that, they would both throw a hissy fit and ground her. Never mind that, if she ever really talked, Natalia was sure they would ground her. For life . . .
She heaved another great sigh before crossing the road.
But she never made it to the other side.

Truth heaved a sigh of his own before getting up.
"So, we have another one, eh?" it asked no one in particular, but a devilish smile crossed its face before it gave a laugh. "I will make an agreement if she chooses to accept it, but like everything, a price must be paid."
One more smile and before she was there.

Natalia woke up dazed and unsteady, she felt like a ton of bricks had hit her, or maybe it was the car? Ah, who cares, she didn't want to think now and she didn't really care. All she knew was the something had hit her and she was dead as a doornail.
"I'm in hell," she said to herself, but rethought it, "or am I in heaven?"
"Neither," came a voice from somewhere behind her.
Natalia sat up with a groan of pain. She still had her things with her and she was still whole, but there was something missing, she just couldn't tell what.
Natalia looked around her for a minute, taking everything in with a sigh. "Believable," she said as she turned around to face Truth, who had an evil smirk plastered on its face.
"You aren't fazed," Truth said as the smile dropped. "What is it with you and believing?"
"I believe in anything and everything," Natalia answered, boredom dripping out as she spoke. "I stopped not believing when my parents told me they were getting a divorce. That was the one big thing I believed would never happen, yet it did, so I started believing in everything."
"You don't feel?" Truth asked a little taken aback. "Well then, looks like I can't take emotion from you, but I couldn't anyway, since you'd need it."
"Why would I need them?" Natalia inquired, a questioning look spread across her face as she held her book bag tighter to her.
"Because I'll be sending you some place that you would love to go to, I presume," Truth answered.
"Amestris?" Natalia asked, just the slightest bit puzzled. "Why there and why would you give me another chance?"
"Because you haven't lived your life to the fullest," Truth answered. "Although, you will need to give up something."
Just as Natalia was about to answer, everything came crashing down on her. Truth had said she was, or had implied, that she was emotionless. She knew she was always doubtful and down a lot, but never emotionless. She still cried, hell did she cry, and she was happy, but only on occasions like when her friend gave Natalia her birthday present. Never, not once, was she one emotion for long.
But before she could say anything else, a creaking sound interrupted her and she whirled around to find a gate. Now Natalia was afraid. Afraid that she was going to die and afraid of what would happen to her in that world that she had dreamed of visiting.
Hands came out and grabbed her, pulling her in to a world of blackness. All Natalia could do was close her eyes and hope that Truth didn't take any vital organs or anything.

Natalia belongs to me, Truth and Amestris belong to the lovely creator who I have no idea is, I completely forgot, so please forgive!
Reviews are required and are not optional, don't be shy, just tell me what you think! I also promise you that Ed and Al will come in later and be a part of this. Oh! And this is based off of Brotherhood because I said so. Have a nice day!
