Ha! Did you think that I would take some time off to forget about this story? Never! So here's chapter two!

Thank you for all the people who reviewed:

Pastel P0cky: I'm going to mixing both animes. The story takes place before the Lab 5 incident in Brotherhood, so I'm pretty sure that Hughes won't die here… or maybe I'll find a way to make his death so painful… just kidding. I love Hughes.

NutellaKittens: Sorry if my story is so short, but I just came back from camping with my friends and I just had to get this all down before I forgot. Since I haven't watched Hagane in a long time, I'll rewatch it and make my characters less out of character.

Disclaimer: I own Fullmetal Alchemist and Ouran HSHC…. Just kidding, I don't. Those two belong to Hiromu Arakawa and Bisco Hatori

Chapter 2: Arrival

Previously…..

Then Ed faced his commanding officer. Okay, so when do I leave?

When Ed arrived at the airport, he was scared half to death. There were strange machines everywhere. To make it more precise, giant flying machines that resembled birds

Before Ed left, Al made sure that everything was in its place. Clothes were not too weird and had to blend into the crowd so nobody would find out that Ed was from Amestris*.

"Al, you really don't need to do this" Ed told his younger brother.

" But Brother, you're going somewhere great and I want the best for you" Al replied. "I can't come with you, so I want you to have a really good time there!" he exclaimed excitedly.

"I promise I'll find a way to get you into the country" Ed assured while nudging the gigantic armour.

Then, Ed looked at his room one last time. It was very simple, two beds, a couch and a ceiling fan. "Well, I won't be seeing this place for a long time" he said as he smiled. Finally, he walked out the door.

It was Ed's first time on a plane**, and it was very embarrassing.

-How do you put these?

-Is this where you put your stuff?

- This is very weird

Everyone was looking at Ed as if he were crazy.

After telling everyone how it was his first time and on an airplane and finally fastening his seatbelt, Ed finally settled down into his seat.

There was ten more minutes until the plane took off, so he decided to check his surroundings. There were tiny windows and two seats on each side, the luggage compartment and the small aisle. So much for a third class passenger. Ed didn't notice the man who sat down beside him. He turned around, saw him and gasped in surprise.

"Oh, sorry" Ed apologized.

"Nah, it's okay" the man assured. He looked fresh into adulthood, maybe in early twenties. He wore a teal hoodie, jeans and sneakers. He looked really casual, and it was the same with Ed too. He wore a red shirt and black jeans and his hair was in a ponytail.

"First time on a plane eh?" the guy beside Ed leaned over and asked.

"Mmhmm" Ed replied.

"You must not travel a lot, don't you?" the man asked.

"Quite the opposite actually, I travel a lot, but it's just within the country" Ed replied.

" Your country must be big, then" the man said.

"It is"

"So, why exactly are you going to Japan?" The man beside Ed asked.

Ed tried think of a believable lie he could tell the guy, for he could not trust anyone.

"Well you see, I'm going to reunite with my family…" Ed had a sad look in his eyes, as if he were thinking of something very sad. All of a sudden, the plane started going up and down, up and down, up and down.

"What's going on?" Ed asked, scared.

"Relax kiddo, it's just turbulence" the man said, attempting to pat Ed on the shoulder.

Ed wanted to rage at the guy for calling him a kid, but he was way too scared to do so. Instead, he looked out the window to the white, fluffy clouds ahead…

Ed was walking around in a beautiful garden on a cloudless, sunny day. There were roses, lavender, hibiscus, tulips, lilies, bluebells, cherry blossoms and other flowers he couldn't name. At the center of it all, was his beautiful mother. Those emerald eyes, her long chestnut hair, that warm smile. She looked like a goddess. As soon as Ed saw her, he felt tears in his tears in his eyes. He ran into his mother's outstretched arms. He felt warm in her embrace.

"Edward, my little man" Trisha whispered. "Oh how you've grown, I'm so proud of you, but…." . All, the flowers died, the air became cold and the sky went dark. Ed looked up, but what he didn't see was his mother anymore. He was looking at the Thing. Those misplaced limbs, those eyes wide open… and that face. That hideous face that resembled his mother. It's hand cupped Edward's cheek.

" Why couldn't you save me? Why couldn't you save mommy?"

Ed wanted to run , but his legs wouldn't move. Hands started coming out of the ground, and the voices of many people could be heard.

" You must pay… Pay for your sins" Those voices started chanting and there was nothing Ed could do to stop it. It was the end. He finally started to close his eyes and succumb to the darkness until a voice made its way into his nightmare…

"Sir, please wake up. Your flight has landed"

Ed woke up with a gasp. A flight attendant was tapping his shoulder gently.

" Oh, sorry". Ed grabbed his luggage quickly and followed the flight attendant out of the plane. When he arrived at the airport, he found people waiting for him.

" Mister Elric, we are here to escort you to you car".

"Um, I'm pretty sure I can handle myself, but okay". Ed mumbled quietly

They all walked to the limo, and by then Ed was gaping. He had seen nothing like this. After a one hour drive, they arrived at the mansion. The house was gigantic, there was a beautiful garden and a faountain gushing water.

This is all for me? Ed thought. Wow.

" Go explore your new home Mister Elric" the man who accompanied him earlier said. Ed sprinted into the house almost immediately and started exploring the house, anything he could find and running all over the place. A maid came up to Ed asked if she could lead him to his room. He followed her up a set of stairs, down a corridor and another, but tiny flight of stairs to his room. Ed was amazed at how his own room looked like. It was so much bigger than some of the other rooms in the house, and the one he had in Central. The walls were painted a dark navy blue, gigantic window with the same coloured curtains and drapes, a king sized bed, or even bigger was positioned to the back of the room. There was also a desk with a lamp and a bookcase with shelves filled with books.

They must have found that I like studying…. Ed thought to himself.

There was also a walk-in closet, and the bathrooms (do I really have to describe the bathrooms? If so *sighs* here you go, but if you don't want to know what Ed's bathroom will look like, just skip this part) that had a sauna, two sinks, a Jacuzzi, a shower stall and the toilet (duh). This place was a paradise -no, it was heaven. Ed could live here forever.

Ed was walking out of his bathroom, when he saw the Ouran uniform on his bed. All of a sudden, the gigantic smile he had on his face vanished, replaced by a frown. There was no way, no way he would be wearing this ugly set of clothes. Hell, he could wear the Amestrian state uniform for the rest of his life and he wouldn't care, but there was no way in hell he would wear the Ouran uniform. The jacket had a nice periwinkle colour, some black pants, a white dress shirt and a black tie with a purple stripe on it.

To succeed the mission, Ed would have to blend in. To blend in, Ed had to wear the stupid uniform. If he didn't, the murderer would find out, the mission would fail and Ed would most likely end up dead. It was a lose-lose situation, if you thought about it. Ed folded the clothes neatly and put it on his desk. While he was walking to place his clothes on his desk, he noticed something on his bedside table. He put the uniform quickly on the desk and walked over to his bedside table. Ed found a small, thin rectangular box-shaped object with a black screen. At the bottom, was a small square button inside of it (if you guys can guess what it is, I'll give you some pasta!). Beside the box-thing was a note.

Dear Ed,

This object is called a cell phone.

It works like a normal phone, it also has a set of extra features. You see, Japan's technology is different from what people have in Amestris. A cell phone is basically a wireless phone you can take with you. Handling this will take some time, but it will get easier as time passes (just get used to the updates, though). There is an instructions manual at the back of this letter

Have fun!

Ed flipped to the back of the letter, and sure enough, there was an instructions manual. He pressed the little button on the so-called cell phone, and the screen lit up. He felt afraid, but got comfortable after playing around with it for a while (it took him almost 15 minutes to find out how to use the actual phone). Ed found out that if you held the home button for quite a long time, then the phone would speak to you and you could ask anything and it would search it up on the "Internet".

Winry would go berserk if she saw one of these…

After exploring his phone for a bit, he finally went through his contacts and saw one phone number there.

Central Command

Ed smiled, then heard someone say it was time for dinner.

"Mister Elric, I know it's your first time here, so we want to welcome you with common foods here" the chef told Ed.

"Uh, sure"

On the table, he saw stuff that looked like rolls with rice and some green stuff. Apparently, they called that "sushi". Ed took the chopsticks, fumbled with them a bit and started eating. It was delicious. Who knew raw fish would taste good (I don't know what sushi tastes like because I'm one of those unfortunate people who have food allergies to seafood so I rarely get to eat it)?

After, he went and changed his clothes. Ed wanted to explore the neighbourhood to see what Japan was like, although that one hour drive already gave him the idea. Ed wore a sky blue hoodie, jeans and some Converse, and went out. He started walking around. Ed wanted to find a park where he could read a book about alchemy, or even find a library or something. He didn't see where he was going and accidentally bumped into a young girl. Her hair was cut like a boy's, she had big brown eyes and she wore a simple pink dress. Ed quickly cussed and said sorry in Amestrian. The girl at him, wide eyed.

"I am so very sorry" Ed said in his best Japanese, while lending a hand to the girl.

" It's fine, I'm okay" the other girl said. "Wait! I haven't seen you before. Are you new here?"

"Yeah, I came here today'' Ed replied. "Oh , and by the way, I'm Ed" the blond said.

The young girl tried to introduce herself, but was cut off by a loud "HARUHIIIIII!" A tall young man with blond hair came running to the girl named Haruhi, followed by a group of other boys.

There were twins, each with strawberry blond hair and Cheshire cat smiles.

There was another tall boy, with jet black hair and dark obsidian eyes carrying a smaller boy holding a pink stuffed bunny in his arms.

"Haruhi! Are you okay? Did this man hurt you?" the leader of the group asked, glaring at Ed. Then he pointed at him and said dramatically "If you lay a hand on my daughter, I swear it'll be the last thing you do!"

Ed wondered how this guy could be Haruhi's father, but the looks on the other boys' faces told him not to ask.

"Tamaki-senpai, Ed-san is new here, and we accidentally bumped into each other, so I just wanted to show him around" Haruhi assured her friend. Tamaki smiled. He was so happy that his friend was willing to welcome someone here.

"So, where do you come from… Ed?" Tamaki asked.

Ed's expression remained blank. "I just got here from Ame- I mean Germany".

Ed sighed in relief. He couldn't tell anybody where he was actually from. A guy with glasses stepped forward.

"I see, and judging from you accent, you haven't been speaking Japanese for a very long time"

"Yeah, I only started a few days ago".

Everyone was shocked (except for Mori).

"You only started a few days ago?" they all asked in unison. Ed responded with a quiet "mmhmm".

Haruhi spoke up. "Wow, you must be some kind of genius or something to learn Japanese so quickly"

The shorter blond replied "Yeah". His stare was kind of far off, as if he were thinking of something that happened long ago. Just before anyone could ask where this new guy lived or where he was going to school, they were interrupted by some music.

I run and run a thousand miles

Until I am out of breath…..***

It was Tamaki's cell phone****. He searched for it in his pockets, until he found it and answered.

"Really?…. Well, that's great!" Tamaki ended the call and told everybody that something important was happening and they needed to go back to his place. Tamaki called it an "emergency Host club meeting".

"Well, it looks like I have to leave too" Ed said, realizing the sun was finally setting and the sky was getting darker.

"It was nice meeting you Ed!" Tamaki said, happily.

"It was nice meeting you too… Tamaki, was it? I hope we can meet each other someday" Ed replied.

After that, every one said their goodbyes and parted ways.

Little did they know that the someday they were talking about was not very far away…

A/N: Hiya guys, I know it has been a while since I last wrote, but as you know, school comes first, and I need to work hard if I really want to scrape an A.

Anyway, here are some things I want to clarify with you.

*: Amestris is hidden country. Nobody outside of it knows it exists, and the Amestrians want to keep it that way (also because they don't want to let a certain group of people out, if you know who I'm talking about).

**: With the whole plane thing, I'm kind of trying to follow the 2003 anime version here, where almost none of the Amestrians know about planes, or any other technology that came from after the 1930's.

***/****: In case you didn't know that song, it is Shissou, the ending theme for Ouran HSHC. I know that's the ringtone for the Hitchiin twins, but I forget or don't remember if Tamaki had a ringtone.

So if you felt confused a bit, here is some clarification.

Outtakes

In the garden,

Ed: Mommy is that you?

Mrs. Elric: No, *transforms into Roy* I'm your worst nightmare….

Ed: AHHHHHHHHHH!
