Edward Elric and the Personality Siblings

Chapter One – Departing for The Festival of Fools

"So, you do realize that this is the twelfth time you've turned in a report late right?"

"Yeah, but you should at least be grateful that I even thought about turning it in! I could've cared less and not done it at all. You know me Mustang, always thrilled to be a dog of the military!"

It wasn't very hard to tell what was going on here. Edward Elric, the child prodigy of Amestris, was reclined on the couch in front of his superior officer, Roy Mustang. Edward had decided that maybe it was time to turn in that report that had been sitting at his bed side for the past week.

"You could've at least gave me a little more detail, Fullmetal! You know about the people involved and-" his voice dropped when his eyes glanced up at the unfocused boy.

Mustang was trying his hardest not to get ticked off at him, but Ed really wasn't helping the situation by having his I don't care you stupid Colonel with a God-complex attitude.

"Are we done? Al is waiting for me. We have a busy day today and tomorrow." Finally Ed moved off the couch and stood in front of the angry Colonel's desk.

"Oh really? Do tell me what you have planned for this busy day of yours." Mustang urged.

"Well, he wants to go to some weird festival somewhere southeast of Central. Ever heard of The Festival of the Fools?"

"Yes..." he stuttered, his face turning a bright red.

"What's up with you?" Ed laughed while crossing his arms.

"Nothing!" Roy shouted, after realizing his forced outburst he cleared his throat, "Sorry, continue."

"Whatever Mustang. But anyway, it's a festival and he wants me to go so that we can have some 'cheering up' time and to take a break. I really don't want to go but he's kinda begging me now."

"Well we can't have you displeasing your brother now can we? I'll let you go then. How long are you planning to be gone so that I can alert everyone?"

Edward's face twisted in curiosity, "I'd say about two days at the most."

Mustang understood, "Alright Fullmetal I'll see you in two days then. Just make sure you don't do anything stupid."

Sighing, Ed grabbed his coat and headed for the door. But Mustang told him to hold on before he left. He still had something to say.

"What?" he snapped.

"Don't...don't bring back anything creepy okay?"

Edward was confused. Creepy? What would be creepy at a festival? It was for young kids, "Whatever idiot. See ya." He threw up his hand and left the room leaving Mustang and Headquarters behind.

~ Alphonse and Edward's Dorm ~

Edward continuously paced around the room, waiting for his brother to prepare for their trip.

"Are you ready yet?" Ed called impatiently.

"In a minute Brother! I didn't know you were so excited to leave!" Alphonse shouted from the other room.

Honestly, Ed was just ready to get this over with. He didn't like Festivals as much as he used to. He actually hadn't been to one since their mother died. That was another reason why he hated going. He didn't want to go without his mother. It just didn't seem right.

Being lost in thoughts would usually cause the elder Elric to space out. And that's what he did. He was so lost in thoughts that he didn't realize that Alphonse was standing right in front of him.

"Hey Broth-!"

"AHHH!" Edward jerked up, not even allowing Alphonse's to tell him that he was ready.

"What's wrong? What are you thinking about now?"

"Nothing. By the way, what are you wearing?" Edward looked at him from head to toe. Al was dressed like a festive giant. He had a long brown bag, the strap was a crossed his chest. His apron had been changed to a darker purple and he had a purple scarf around his helmet.

"I'm trying to be festive!" he cheered.

"You're trying to be a pansy..." Ed laughed playfully.

"Not funny Ed! I'm trying to be happy and have a good time! Now why don't you wear this?" Alphonse pulled out a matching purple scarf around his bag. He also felt beads get thrown around his neck with the scarf and when Al turned him around he felt him drawing an alchemic circle on his back.

"HEY! What are you doing?"

CLAP!

Before Ed could move Al pressed his hands on his back. His red coat turned purple. The same color of his beads and scarf.

"There! We're matching now! The main color of the festival is purple. We'll blend right in!"

Right, Ed thought, blending right in was their specialty. Not...

"So, let's get ready to leave! We can't miss all the fun now can we?" Al ran out the door with Ed slowly lugging behind him.

He took one last look at his dorm before closing and locking the door behind him and heading to the station to board the train.

"It says here that the festival is in a place called...Fortune Town. Are they rich or something?" Ed asked looking at the Amestris map.

"No, it's a Merchant town. Merchants from other countries travel and sell things from Drachma, Xing, Aerugo, and even Creta. I can't wait to see all the foreign stuff! I beat it'll be so cool!"

When the two Brothers arrived at the Station they saw that the train was waiting for everyone to board and was just about to leave. But as they boarded they didn't notice a figure in a purple coat had been following them the whole way and was boarding the train with them.

They were about to be in a very life changing situation that even the Furher himself couldn't handle.
