I meant to say tommorow so whoops. Complicated stuff will begin momentarily. Please wait for the disclaimer and stuff.

By the way, Teja is pronounced Tay-huh. Not Tay-Yuh or Tay-Juh. TAY-HUH. Ok with that out of the way it's time for da disclaimer y'all. (Texans out there I'm sorry I know ur pain. I know we do not always say that. I'm Texan too!)

Disclaimer: Still not mine. If it was I'd be making more manga/anime instead of a fanfic.

~Alphonse's POV

When she said we were going to Yous Well; I imagined hopping on a train all the way there. But NUUUUUUU... we had to freaking WALK there. I guess the camping wasn't bad. Just the walking. I'm not used to the stress. I feel really sorry for Ed when we were going on adventures. He must of had to endure this 'torture'. Teja seemed to be completely unaffected so I sucked it up and pushed onward. Finally, after two weeks of travel, we made it to the farthest town to the East. Wow, this really brings back memories.

~3rd person POVe

Al, being tired and wanting an excuse to stop for a few minutes, pleaded to go visit some friends at the only inn in town.

"Ok fine. Ten minutes, then we have to leave!" Teja rolled her eyes as Alphonse cheered. The duo split up, Al going to the inn and Teja going to meet her 'acquaintances'. The younger Elric brother found smiles and memories at the inn and when he introduced himself as Alphonse the owner's face lit up and called to the drinking men;

"Fullmetal's brother is here!" Then he turned to Al and whispered, "Finally outta that armor I see."

"Yeah!" Al beamed. Then Teja walked up and interrupted the chatting.

"Hello there, Teja! How long has it been, four years?" The owner smiled with recognition.

"Yup, four years alright. I'm afraid we have to leave, though. I do apologize." Teja said almost with a tune, like she had said that a lot in her life.

"No problem! See ya soon!" The owner called after them, as they walked away.

"That wasn't ten minutes!" Al complained, "And how do you know him?"

"They are here and I need to get you to my acquaintances." Teja said with a little urgency in her usually masked voice. And then her soft face morphed into a frustrated face as she yelled, "RUN! I'LL FOLLOW JUST GET GOING TO THE NORTH SIDE OF TOWN!" Al turned his head back to look at her when he was 20 yards away. His eyes widened in fear and surprise as she was fighting ... Things? Black blobs...? They look flat but fully dimensional at the same time! Al thought panicked.

Teja was fighting eight of them at once with two daggers with -string?- attaching them to her waist. First she was stabbing, next one of her daggers was knocked from her hand. She pulled on the string connected to it and it came flying back into her hand. Teja then threw her daggers in a circular motion that made them circle around her impaling and going straight through all the enemies surrounding, making them frazzle (glitch) out and disappear with a very high pitched wail that is barely registered by the human ear.

When Teja ran up to Al she calmly scolded him, "You shouldn't have stayed, but at least now you know the importance of getting to people who can protect you." Al just nodded because he was very shaken up.

"Why can't you protect me. You did a good job right there!" Al demanded being stubborn like Ed. (It's a good tactic to pull some info!)

"Because they won't come in little hordes like that again. After that wail, all of them will start rushing in to kill us." Teja explained, "And the big hordes will be about 20-30 of them."

"Why are they only coming after us? And how will this other person protect me better than you?" Al demanded very scared, but brave.

"We reek of the gate." She said with her back to him. She turned and met his eyes, "And it's two people protecting you. C'mon let's go meet them!" Her eye was sparkling at the prospect of meeting her 'acquaintances', so she pulled him like the first time they ran off. I think her 'acquaintances' ARE her friends! Al thought happy that he finally figured something out about this mysterious girl who saved and changed his life the day they met.

But who are her friends?

I promised Edward in this chapter so I'll give you a little of his POV.

~Edward's POV

I opened my eyes to...?! Amestris!... No... still Germany. I moved to Germany after waking up in Munich with Hohenheim. So obviously the first thing I'd do was leave as soon as possible,; but I needed an excuse. So when I found an American scientist that thought he could get a rocket into outer space, that was my cue. He was moving to Germany so I thought I'd go there too.

Turns out not all of the machinery in this world was as advanced as I originally thought. They had no technology for prosthetics besides a plastic limb that couldn't move on it's own. So much for a better arm! I still had my pathetic replacement for Winry's amazing work; meaning it was terrible and could barely move. I sighed and started to get dressed.

"HEY SHORTY! Can you hurry up in there! We have to go to the census record soon and I will have to close the hotel! You have five minutes before I kick you out!" The hotel's owner's son, Alexander (Al's counter part in this world), yelled at me.

"GIMME A FEW MINUTES! Geez..." I yelled back trying to prevent myself from going on my "you called me short" rampage as Mustang started to call it before I left... No... when I was taken away. I did NOT leave! Anyway, that was not tolerable in this world. Every time I do it, people would look at me like I needed mental help. (Which I probably do, but nobody could understand my real predicament) I finished getting ready and left, staring jealously and this Al's body as I walked past, getting angered at myself for not being good enough to get Al's body back without leaving him. I abandoned him... Oh well. I will do everything in my power to get back there and I will NEVER give up on him.

"Al..."

Yay chapter 2 is done! Fun stuff. Also so tell me if anything doesn't fit. I want this to be as close to cannon as I can get for the timing and reasoning. Again and mistakes in grammar or punctuation and whatnot please help. This is a serious fic with a little humor shoved in somewhere later. I'll post las much as possible but no promises. Also most of my chapter will be around this long (kinda short -like Ed- but updated often) If you don't care, that makes sense since I'm pathetic. Anyway, I hope it is enjoyable.
