THIS IS OUR FANDOM. We made it up. We own nothing except for the shirts on our backs and the original characters (that are very obviously original). It's in second person, so please forgive us. We wrote this many moons ago when second person was really cool. I hope that is okay with you. If it isn't okay with you, pretend its in third person, or first person, or fourth person. Whatever suits your fancy. As for the time period, we made up details and shoved them together. Al has a body and there are countless homunculi running amok. And we killed Winry. Sorry about that.

Winry checker her watch impatiently. "Ed…Al…where are you guys?" she asked to no one through tightly clenched teeth. She heard footsteps and looked up to see Ed looking down at her. "Finally. Where's Al?" She jumped up eagerly. Edward raised a gun in his right hand.

BANG

Winry clutched her heart, as blood flowed out. As her eyes went hazy and dark, she saw Ed change into the homunculus Envy. "Envy," she breathed as her final breath left her body.

Chapter One: First Meeting

Four Years Later

1918

"Liz! Wait up!" Standing on the steps up to HQ, you turn to see Alphonse Elric running up to you. As he nears, he slides on the ice nearly falling and stops right in front of you. Breathing hard, he asks. "So, did you pass?"

"Totally, I wiped 'em out!" you said.

"Awesome, what's your code name?" he asked fumbling his words from breathing too hard.

"My what?"

"Code name," he said, enunciating his words.

"Ah! Gotcha. LiquidFlame."

"Nice. Sounds nothing like you."

"Thanks for the encouragement!" He laughed and finally fell on his butt. You both laugh hysterically, until you fall also.

"I was waiting for that to happen," you say to him.

"Yeah, I'm a klutz, huh?"

"Well, since you've fallen about eight times in the two and a half days I've known you, I would say so!" You both laugh some more, as Alphonse tries to stand, but only slides and falls back down. Laughing even harder, you tiry to stand also, but, yet again, you fall in your attempt. Finally, after you stop laughing you are able to get back up and walk into the building. "Ow, my butt hurts now!" you said.

"Heh, me too!" Alphonse answers back.

SMACK

Something hit your butt. Now it hurt worse. You noticed Maes Hughes walking beside you now.

"Thanks, now it hurts worse," you muttered.

"Hey, I'm your uncle. It's my job to annoy you in any way possible," Maes replied. "Oh, Roy wants to see you."

"The Colonel?" you ask.

"Yeah, that's what I meant. I'll show you where his office is."

"…Okay. Alphonse, I guess I'll have to catch up with you later." You smile at him before going off to the Colonel's office. You've never met him, but you say him during the exam.

When you walked in, you saw Roy talking on the phone and holding a little girl, about four years old, on his lap. She was fast asleep, leaning her head against his chest. Maes coughed and Roy looked up. Hughes was pointing at you and was mouthing, "I got her!"

Roy held the phone away from his face and covered the mouthpiece. "Maes, can you take Hilary to Rebecca? She's outside, at the pay phone." He moved his hand from the mouthpiece saying, "Gotta go bye," really fast to the person on the other side. He likewise hurriedly hung up the phone. He held up a manila envelope with his free hand. "Give this to her too." Maes walked around Roy's desk and picked up Hillary, the girl. Roy held out the envelope to him and, shifting Hillary to his other arm, Maes took it.

"OOO…she's not going to like this…didn't she retire, what was it, almost five years ago?"

Roy held up his left hand and said, "I can still boss her around, can't I?" Maes rolled his eyes as walked out of the office. Roy looked back to the paper on his desk and started writing something.

"Uh…Colonel Mustang?" you said. You think he's forgotten about needing to see you.

"LiquidFlame," he muttered, "how your name is so much like mine is beyond me."

"Excuse me?" you said. You couldn't hear him.

"We're sending you to Resembool. There have been reported sightings all over the place. People think they're seeing homunculi."

"Homunculi?"

"Edward Elric will be going with you and Alphonse will be tagging along as well. As if you had a choice in that matter. Edward has experience with homunculi."

"Wait…wait…where's Resembool? And who is Edward Elric?"

The door whooshed open and slammed into the wall.

"I can fix that," someone yelled. "Roy," the person continued, "I've got questions and you got the answers!" A young man was yelling behind you. You look at him and think: He's gorgeous! Then when Roy looked up expectantly, the man continued. "One: When did you get married? Who would marry you, of all people? When did you have a kid? And what the heck do you want now?"

"Ah, FullMetal. Just in time. Meet Elizabeth Stabler, the LiquidFlame Alchemist. This, LiquidFlame, is Edward Elric the—"

"FullMetal Alchemist," Edward finished for him. The room was silent as Ed looked you over then snapped back to Roy and repeated his questions.

"I'm sending you to Resembool. Homunculi sightings, you know the drill," Roy said in response to the last question. He handed Ed a similar manila envelope to the one he gave to Maes earlier.

"Roy I still want to—"

"Go, you're going to miss your train."
