Okay so this is a little different I guess. Centuries are kind of mixed up in this just to give you a hint. For example...a cell phone during the world war II. ( im not putting cells in this it was just an example. ) So yes I thought this idea would turn out cute. Please no flames, and enjoy.

" Brother...are you ready yet? "
" Hold on Al...I'm almost done..." Ed replied.
Edward wasn't exactly excited about going to this party. Ever since he and Al's job's studying rocketry had great success, they were forced to go to formal parties with princes, princess', presidents, whatever. At first it wasn't so bad, but now he just couldn't stand it.
" Ed...you know if we are late...James will be angry, and I'm not ready for early retirement..."
Edward sighed at his brother's impatience.
" Ok, ok, Al...Let's go. "
Edward walked through the door swiftly and to the awaiting car.
" Good Evening Mr. Elric. I assume we are ready to leave the house now? "
" You know it Maes. " Ed said with a smile.
Maes chuckled.
" Thanks again for this job Ed, it really is helping me out, triple the pay then the other one. "
" No problem...just don't...crash okay? This is a very expensive vehicle..."
" Aw come on...the other one was by mistake!! "
Alphonse came out of the door and gave a small wave to Maes, quickly getting into the car.
" Ed...we are going to be late! " He said.
" Damn Al, it's like your my freaking father or something! Ed hurry up, stop Ed, be quiet Ed, don't do that Ed, this that this that! " He imitated his brother's voice. Alphonse raised his eyesbrows at him and rolled his eyes.
" Just have a little responsibility..." He responded with a chuckle.
Edward glared at him, and pouted his way to the car, slamming the door as hard as possible.
" I thought this car was expensive?" Maes said as he sat down in the front seat.
" Shut up..."
Maes chuckled at Edward's stubborness. He may have looked and acted like an adult, but at times he could be a real...TEENAGER. He started the car and began driving down Nier Street.
" So...how far away is this place? "
" Only two blocks away, it's being held at the town's hall. The new one that is.." Al replied.
" I don't understand why WE have to go to these...things...they are a waste of time. " Ed said turning his direction towards the window. "
" Because we helped design and invent the rockets..."
" Obviously..." Ed replied.
" You used to like them, I don't understand brother.."
" It's nothing Al."
" Is it because of all the couples that are there? "
" Al..."
" Does it make you miss Winry? "
" Alphonse! " Edward glared at his younger brother. He shut his eyes tightly and sighed. " Alphonse that is not why, I just don't like them, period.."
" Ok guys...here we are! Now you two don't be breaking any girls hearts this time...Edward. " Maes said with a strict tone.
Edward turned around as he stepped out of the car. " Hey that wasn't my fault, SOMEONE told her I liked her..." He said glaring at his brother.
" Alphonse shrugged as he walked towards the building. Many people all dressed up in their finest, walking with their dates. And once again...he was walking with his brother...what a lovely memory this would be.
" Well here we are again Alphonse...no dates, and going into another damn hell ball..." Ed said, stretching his arms out.
" Actually...my date is meeting me here, and besides, you could have a date, you just always say no to everyone. " Al said.
" Great, well I'll just be in the corner talking to old men who look like they could have a heart atack at any second, so have fun Al. " Edward walked through the doors quickly.
" Brother you are so stubborn..." Al thought as he walked towards the entrance.
" Alphonse!"
Al looked towards the direction of the voice. He smiled.
" Hello Rose, you look beautiful. "
She smiled shyly.
"Thank you. " She said as she put her arm around his, he led her through the doors, where ahead lay every person waiting to talk to him.
"Well they will want to talk to Ed more than me...so I won't have too much of a problem.." He thought with a smirk.

Edward was surrounded. He felt like he was the prey and was circled...waiting to be attacked and ripped apart. He traced the top of his wine glass in boredom.
" So how did you manage to pull it off? " An elderly man asked.
" Well Edward here is very talented. He and his brother were able to know which cable would be best and where to put them. He was very impressive while bolting the parts together. " James replied to him.
" I'm sure as his superior, you must be very proud. "
" Oh yes, very. He has done well with the profit as well. "
The group chuckled at James comment, everyone except Edward that is..
Edward looked around as he sighed. He tried to concentrate on the music, but found it impossible. He saw women being dipped and twirled by their dates. He saw the look in their eyes, he heard every laugh, and saw every loving whisper. This was just plain pathetic and depressing.
That's when Edward saw her. His eyes widened at her beauty. Her beautiful curves swaying to the music. Her white dress fitting her hour glass figure perfectly. Her long blonde hair, her beautiful ocean blue eyes, and her gorgeous white smile.
The group was talking as his mind was trapped with only her.
" Isn't that right Edward? " James said.
Edward didn't reply. His eyes stayed widened, he didn't blink.
" Edward?" James repeated.
Edward shoved his wine glass in James hands and started moving towards her, he moved through the crowd of people slowly. Keeping his eyes only on her...

Alphonse watched from the distance.
" What is he doing?! Does he want us fired?!" He exclaimed.
" Alphonse...look at your brother's face...I think that explains quite enough." Rose replied.
He looked at him and raised his eyesbrows. Then he looked in the direction his brother was going, looking through the crowd of people for anyone specific. He gasped.
" No...It couldn't be..."
