Ed, Al, Winry and everyone from FMA doesn't live in Japan in the 1910's anymore.

Now they are here in our time! Ed, Al, and Winry go to school in america and Ed meets

a gril on the internet. He likes her and she likes him although they don't think they had

ever met before. However, they have and they are bitter enemies. Or at least, so they thought!

Serenity425: Hi.

FM Alchemist: Hello.

Serenity425: So, what are you doing?

FM Alchemist: Homework. :(

Serenity425: Oh? Are you still in school?

FM Alchemist: Yes, are you?

Serenity425: Yes. I go to Ivy Acadamy.

FM Alchemist: Really? I do too. Stupid Mustang, had to assign us something difficult in history.

Serenity425: better than Teacher Izumi with P.E.

FM Alchemist: Yeah, I'll agree with that.

Serenity425: So, you want to meet up sometime?

FM Alchemist: Sure. The masquarade?

Serenity425: Okay. Oh! I gotta go! My friends are here! See you later:x

FM Alchemist: Bye.

Ed logged off of the computer. "Yes!" he cried happily. Edward was normally a loner, but he didn't mind making friends. . .at all. He supposed it was because he had a highly explosive temper that drove people off. Alphonse wasn't here at the moment as he had went to his friends' house. Now that Al had his human body back, he was quite popular with the girls and everyone else. It was an insult that he was taller than Ed, though he was older. Still, people called him short! But this girl didn't know who he was yet, and the thought of meeting up with her sounded great, and then not so great. "Oh damned! What am I going to do about my heigth!" he said, panicking. 'Nothing.' said his mind. 'There is nothing you can do but be yourself.' Ha! Big laugh that was! She'd pick on him for being short and then she'd probably change her mind about him. He sighed, wondering what to do.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Next door, sat a fiery red headed girl named Lily. She was a part of the popular crowd at school, though she wished she could find a boy that wasn't so concentrated on sports like the jocks she normally went out with. Not to mention so tall. She had just dumped Jack McKennit today because he was so dull. For a long time, she had been practicing alchemy even though it wasn't really accepted by the popular group. Her power was fire, and her sister's was water.

She leaped from the computer seat, feeling elated! They were going to meet! Finally! Yet another alchemist! But. . .she was really short! Overly short in fact. "Ohh! He'll never like me! Why did I say that! He's probably a talented alchemist and if I mess up things now, oh, he'll probably never talk to me after this! Why, why, WHY did I ask him if he wanted to meet with me! Lily, your so dumb!" she said, wanting to bang her head on something hard. Looking around, she decided that they might need some groceries and decided to go out. She might stop by the ice cream shoppe after she was done with the shopping.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Alphonse and his friends, including Dragana, Lily's sister, who was more of a loner but because she was beautiful, she was accepted as one. Well, half-sister anyways. Lily's mother had died from trying to bring back her sister when Lily was only three and her father married another woman, Sandra, and had Dragana by her. Their parents had been dead now for a few years, from a car accident. She smiled at Alphonse, laying her arm on the inside of the flashy blue convertable. 'I love this car. No, I really love this car!' she thought to herself. Instead of red hair, she had black, like her late father. However, she and Lily had matching emerald green eyes.

Thier friends were in the backseat, laughing at a joke that Jack McKennit made. He wasn't so hurt now after Lily dumped him. She hated the boy, but she loved Alphonse, though she would never be able to say that outloud. She was a very outspoken person, but that, well, she didn't think she could do. She turned her head when she felt Alphonse looking at her.

"So Dee, do you have a date for the masquarade?" Alphonse asked. She smiled sweetly at him. "Actually, I don't. Do you?" she asked and Alphonse shook his head. "No, not yet. Do you -" he was about to say when a girl in the backseat squealed. "But Al, I wanted to go with you!" she said and pouted. Al shrugged. "Maybe next time. What do you say?" he asked, turning back to Dee. Her emerald green eyes widened. "I would love to go with you to the masquarade." she said softly with her unusually sexy husky voice. The blonde in the back, named Tanya,frowned. 'Who does that little bitch think she is? I was supposed to go with Al! He IS the most popular boy at school!' she thought haughtily.

They rode around for a few hours, and went out for an ice cream at the Ice Cream Shoppe where Alphonse and Dee sat together, which irritated Tonya to death. 'Grr, stupid girl. Al is MINE!' She thought. Since she sat in front of Dee, she couldn't exactly show the emotions, but she was a hell of an actress anyways, not to mention the varsity cheerleader captain. Al chose butter pecan and Dee decided on mint chocolate chip. They laughed and chatted, letting everyone else think what they would about them as they talked. Jack tried to feed some of Tonya's ice cream to her, but she just waved it off. "Aww, come on Tanya. Cheer up for me." he said and grinned when she turned his way and kissed him in front of Dee and Alphonse, deciding to make him jealous and want her more than the little nobody he was with now. However, Alphonse didn't notice. He was hooked on the conversation that he was having with Dee. Frustrated, she got up, surprising Jack and slammed the door open as she went out, bumping into Lily on her way inside...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Oww. Sorry." said Lily with a apologetic smile but Tonya glared at her. "What are you doing here? Want to rub it in do you that your sister got Al? Well, you can go to hell you little pipsqueak!" she said and slapped Lily. Lily, her emerald eyes wide, went to the ground, sprawling. Alphonse and Dragana jumped up at once to go over to Lily. "That little - ooh! You wait until I get my hands on that girl!" said Dee fiercely. Alphonse helped Lily up. "Are you alright?" he asked her. Lily was holding her cheek where the angry girl had slapped her, salty tears falling on her hand and on her other cheek. "Come on guys, lets get this girl home." said Alphonse and threw his letter jacket over her as he led her out of the ice cream shoppe.

"Oh Lil. Are you alright?" Dee asked, concern etched in her voice. Lily gave her a weak smile and turned to Al. "Thank you Al. Your very sweet for doing this." she said. "Oh, well, your welcome. I just have to run in my house for a moment." he said and gave them both a smile, already have dropped the others off. "You can come in if you like." he said and they nodded. "Alright." said Lily in a low voice. She opened the door, stepping inside when she saw Ed, glaring at her. They were not very fond of each other at all, since she was shorter than he, and he often picked on her, however, she could spin it right back on them.

"Great. I get slapped and now, I have to face Ed with my face looking like I've been through hell." she murmured. "What's going on, short stuff?" he asked her and she growled. "Leave me alone Ed!" she said. "Not likely miss popular." he said and clapped his hands. She had just advoided a cage, popping up and trying to entrap her. "Funny!" she said sarcastically and clapped her hands as well, sending water to spray him in the face. "That should cool you down hot stuff!" she said and forgot how much it hurt her to talk. Evidently, Tanya could hit very hard. Edward growled, but stopped when he saw how her cheek was swollen. "What the hell!" he said and jumped off the staircase, landing perfectly on his feet. "What's wrong with your cheek? Its all red and puffy. So's your eyes." he said in surprise and she bit her lip. "Damned." she cursed under her breath. How could she have let him see it!

"Tanya slapped her for no reason." said Alphonse. "She was coming in the ice cream shoppe and Tanya was going out and Lily accidently bumped into her. Lily apologised and Tanya drew back and smacked her good enough to send her sprawling onto the floor." Alphonse finished, looking somewhat angry. Lily sighed, nodding. "Not that it should concern you!" she said fiercely. "I'm going home." she said and began walking towards the door. Edward growled. "Your not going anywhere! What Tanya did, she will regret. I promise you that." he said fiercely. Lily looked at him strangely. "Your going to. . .defend me? No, its alright Elr - Edward, I can take care of myself. I've been doing so for a long time now." she said and walked out the door with a sad expression, clutching her cheek.

"Damned girl doesn't listen to anyone!" he said, growling again. Dee and Alphonse laughed. "You could say that again!" said Dee. "She's stubborn and proud. But I suppose its because she's the oldest, like you Ed." she said with a chuckle. "Besides, you'll have to get in line to whip Tanya's butt - all of our friends saw it and you know how everyone loves Lil, so naturally, they are all wanting to teach dear Tanya a lesson." she said with a smirk.

There were tears in Lily's eyes as she got online, praying that FM Alchemist was on. He was, as a matter of fact.

Serenity: I had went out for groceries and then decided to get a snack, so I stopped by a little shop and I was smacked by a girl I didn't even know!

FM Alchemist: Really? My. . .friend also got smacked today.

Serenity425: Really? Why?

FM Alchemist: I don't know. She and I aren't really close friends. She hates me I think but I don't hate her. I like to tease her because she's shorter than me, but really, I like her. She's really nice and I'm a little jealous of her to be honest.

Serenity425: Oh. She sounds nice. I'd like to meet her sometime. Does she go to the school?

FM Alchemist: Yes. Maybe, if she doesn't hit me over the head with something, I can drag her over to you during the Masquerade.

Serenity425: That would be nice.

FM Alchemist: So, do you have siblings?

Serenity425: Yes, I have a younger sister. Do you have any siblings?

FM Alchemist: Yes, I have a younger brother.

Serenity425: I see. So, who are you going to be at the masquerade?

FM Alchemist: Probably Raul from Phantom of the Opera.

Serenity425: So you like it too? Its one of my favorite books. I'll be Christine then and I'll wear a black ribbon in my hair so you'll know me.
