The amount of confusion that Edward Richtofen was in could not be understated, not only was he somewhere he didn't recognize, but he was being hauled up by a blue haired swordsman (emphasis on the blue haired part) and as he glanced around he began to notice his crew scattered around him, still unconscious.

Chrom was the first to break the awkward silence that had fallen between them "So… You mind explaining how exactly you all wound up like this?"

Edward was going to reply before noticing the threatening and suspicious stare of the man in bulky armor standing behind Chrom.

Chrom gave a small laugh "Oh that's just Frederick, ignore him, he is incredibly protective."

Edward nodded and started explaining himself the best he could… before realizing he didn't really have an explanation, so he thought of the first thing that came to his mind. "I… I can't seem to remember." (Let it be known that Edward Richtofen isn't always the smartest human being)

Chrom raised an eyebrow "Well, let's start with your friends here… they are your friends correct?" Chrom asked, motioning towards the three figures, still slumped over on the ground.

Edward thought for a moment, remembering all that they had been through before nodding "Ah, Yes, I suppose you could call them friends, at least in the most liberal of terms." He says with a slight chuckle that confuses Chrom.

Lissa, who has somehow managed to keep quiet this whole time, has walked over and examined the other three, glancing confusedly as the pistol in Tank's holster before shrugging and returning to Chrom's side "So! I just realized my brother has been a little too dense as to make our introduction." She says with a small giggle.

Chrom looks slightly embarrassed "Oh, right, Sorry. I'm Chrom, and this is Lissa." He motions to the bubbly blond haired girl next to him "And you already know Frederick." He says, motioning to the towering knight behind him.

Frederick gives a slight grunt himself in response, Edward merely shrugs "Not exactly the most friendly of people is he?" Chrom and Lissa laugh as Frederick frowns

Finally, Edward turns his attention to his unconscious friends, he walks over and kneels by Tank, shaking his shoulder lightly "Dempsey… Dempsey… DEMPSEY!" he yells at the American, who finally wakes up

"What…" Tank slowly sits up and glances around, looking confused before his eyes finally narrow on Richtofen

"Christ Doc, try and work on your methods of waking people up." He says, sighing and forcing himself to stand.

Takeo hears the ruckus and wakes up himself, grumbling something in Japanese before turning his own attention to Nikolai, who merely snores loudly. Tank notices Nikolai's snoring and gives a loud laugh "I doubt we will be able to get him up." Takeo nods in response but stays quiet, glancing at Chrom and Lissa cautiously, Edward finally decides to introduce them.

"Ah, I suppose it's our turn…" he pauses a second and motions to the other three "This is Tank, Takeo, and Nikolai." He motions to himself after "And I am Dr. Edward Richtofen, though I prefer just Edward." He says with a smile towards them, Edward turns to the two of his crew that were actually conscious "This is Chrom, Lissa, and Frederick." He introduces each of them in turn.

Tank and Takeo work on slumping Nikolai over their shoulders to drag them along, Edward turns to Chrom "So, where exactly are we?" he asks confusedly, observing the landscape around them.

Chrom gives a slight look of confusion himself as Frederick's suspicious look somehow manages to intensify. Lissa decides to pipe up first "Oh! This is the Halidom of Ylisse! You guys must be from pretty far away not to know about this place."

Richtofen frowned, his worst suspicions seemed confirmed, he had been sent to different places and different times by the MDT before, but he thought that the possibility of this being another dimension was something completely new to him.

Tank gives Edward a worried look "Doc, you know how to get us back home from here… right?"

Edward shakes his head "Let's just remain with this group for now and we can figure everything out as we go, I'm currently suffering from a splitting headache.

Frederick finally speaks up "So you'll come without a fight?" he asks, causing Chrom to suddenly frown.

"Damn it Frederick, you didn't have to say that." He sighs before explaining "We have to ask you to come with us, given your circumstances we have to make sure you aren't some kind of threat."

Edward thought to himself for a moment, this isn't the first time he has been in this type of situation, well… not the different universe/dimension part but the technically imprisoned part, he gave a sigh and reluctantly agreed, not that he had much choice given the group's circumstances. "We will come with you, Sir Chrom." He added the sir as given the swords and medieval armor he assumed that some form of feudal society was present.

Chrom just laughed in response "It's just Chrom, no formality is needed." Edward nodded and said nothing more as Chrom circled around to the back of the group and Frederick took point with Lissa, as they started to head towards the road nearby the field Edward noticed something a little bit away from their original waking point, another figure slumped over in the ground, a little smaller than the average adult, he knew almost immediately who it was.

Frederick quickly took off, running after Edward as he ran towards the figure on the ground, he stopped a few feet behind Edward however when he saw the figure himself, Edward bent down as the group started to circle around him, Tank was the first one to start talking. "Is that… Who I think it is?"

Edward nodded, for the first time in a long time, Edward laid eyes on Samantha Maxis.

Author's Note: So it's taken me a while to write this XD sorry for those that are actually interested in the story, but I will try to update much more often as I've hit some writer's inspiration recently, and the actual purchase of FEA for my 3DS has gotten me in the mood and helped with writing this... a lot. Anyway Samantha will be around 16/17 in this story and will primarily be written from the perspective of Edward or Samantha, depending on the chapter. Also I fixed the Paragraph style as the user metalgear870 pointed out, hope this is more readable :D
