LunarFallenStar: Hey guys! I'm SO sorry for the late update! I've officially dubbed myself the worst at updating on time... I'm very disappointed in myself at the moment so I apologize again for the really late update. Anyway, thank you all for reading and for your kind reviews! I've put my response to said reviews at the end so people won't have to scroll to get to the actual story.

~Previously~

Tamaki whirled around and dashed down the halls, soon reaching the doors of the clubroom. Blue light danced underneath the cracks of the door. Eyebrow arching in suspicion, Tamaki pushed the door open slightly, peaking in the clubroom.

His jaw hit the floor when he saw Ed, hands pressed to the floor by the shattered sculpture while blue lightning danced around the floor nearby.

The light dimmed and Tamaki squinted his eyes to see in the dimly lit room. His eyes soon adjusted and he couldn't believe what he saw. The sculpture was perfectly fine, not a crack marring it's surface.

Tamaki's mind was a blur. What was that just now? Where did that blue light come from? What was Ed hiding? How'd it happen in the first place? Question after question assaulted his mind, a migraine slowly pulling at the edges of his head. He continued to stare in shock at Ed through the crack in the door, before scuttling away in a panic when the alchemist stood up and began to walk to the door, book bag slung lazily over his shoulder.

The king of the host club hid in slight fear behind a nearby column, praying silently that the analytical blonde wouldn't see him.

The large door to the host club slid open, a hollow creak filling up the silence as the hinges rotated. Ed peeked out hesitantly, golden eyes darting back and forth before he slowly tip-toed out of the clubroom. He couldn't help but feel like he was being watched, so he craned his head to look over his shoulders, eyes sweeping over the darkness of the hall. Sighing softly to himself, he turned around and continued down the hall with caution.

Tamaki let out the breath he didn't know he had been holding and slinked over to the door, sliding quietly inside the clubroom to retrieve his forgotten textbook.

The blonde picked up his textbook and turned, violet eyes staring intently at the now repaired sculpture. Approaching the object cautiously, Tamaki inspected it, staying well away from it as though it was going to bite him. He stared at the object in wonder, amazed by how it was so... perfect.

What was Ed exactly? The question continuously nagged at the back of his mind. He couldn't help his pacing as he mulled over the question. He stopped in his tracks when his mind reached a realization.

"Ed's... he's..." Tamaki murmured, quietly, before saying a little louder, violet eyes sparkling, "He's an alien!"

Tamaki spun around in happiness, "I'm so smart~!" He sang in awe of his own intelligence.

He continued to spin, "I can't wait to tell the others! They will be amazed~!"

Tamaki slowed in his spinning, starting to get dizzy. He wobbled on his feet, the world around him still spinning around him. He felt himself tilting backwards. It felt like time itself was slowing down as everything whirled past in slow motion. He flailed his arms wildly, trying to regain balance.

His efforts only succeeded in his hand colliding against something hard. He fell back, falling unceremoniously on his butt. He jumped when something shattered behind him. He turned around slowly, sweat prickling at the back of his neck.

His jaw hit the floor.

The sculpture Ed had fixed was shattered upon the floor.

He scrambled over to the remains of the sculpture, wincing as a few pieces of the material cut into his hands.

Tamaki sighed, who was going to believe him now? Kyoya would want his claim to be backed up by indisputable facts, the twins would find some way to embarrass him, Haruhi would sigh and say it was a dream, Honey wouldn't listen and probably just want some cake, and Mori would say nothing like usual.

Tamaki tugged at his hair in frustration. He just had to tell them anyway. Someone needed to know that their new companion was in fact an alien, they could be in great danger. He was the only one that could save them.

He clenched his fist in determination. They would know, whether they believed it or not.

The Next Day

The classroom was abuzz with chatter as the students waited for the bell to ring, signaling the start of school. Tamaki stared at the blonde sitting beside him intently, watching as Ed absentmindedly doodled on a blank sheet of paper.

Tamaki still hadn't told anyone about what he had witnessed yesterday, trying to wait until the perfect moment to reveal it to his friends. Needless to say Tamaki had been observing the alchemist closely ever since, trying to pick up on anything else that would prove Tamaki's assumptions as correct.

Ed twirled his pencil in his hands, feeling slightly on edge due to the violet eyes staring at him intently. Golden eyes flicked to the side, briefly meeting violet ones. Tamaki jumped, quickly turning to face the front of the room once more. Ed sighed, attention turning back to the pencil in his hands.

Now that the golden eyes had averted their gaze, Tamaki resumed his staring. Ed tried not to punch him.

The door swung open and the class quieted down as one of the staff members from the school office walked inside, a peculiar man walking in behind him. The strange man settled behind the other man, keeping somewhat to the shadows.

The office member stared impassively at the students before him, "I'm sorry to say this, but your normal teacher for this class got in an accident last night and will be unable to continue their duties for a while. We miraculously managed to find a teacher on such quick notice and he shall fill in for them until they are able to resume their duties."

The strange man, now identified as the new teacher, stepped out of the shadows.

Ed's eyes widened, 'He's the strange man I saw talking to that girl the other day...(1) I guess he wasn't a teacher back then, but if so, why was he here that day...'

Tamaki stared at the teen beside him who was deep in thought. He arched an eyebrow slightly before turning to face the front once more.

"Hello class," He introduced, "I'm Watanabe-sensei, your new teacher."

The office staff member nodded, "I hope you all treat him with respect."

With that, the man left.

Everyone turned to face the new teacher. Ed stared at him intently, golden eyes narrowing.

Watanabe wasn't exactly the type of person you'd expect to find in a prim and proper school like Ouran. His shoulders were hunched, forming a slouch that was the exact opposite of good posture. His black hair was obviously greasy, hastily slicked back to make it appear somewhat well-kept. Stubble dotted the skin of his chin and upper lip. He obviously hadn't shaved recently. His clothes were relatively neat, a few wrinkles here and there along with a single stain on the white collar of his shirt. A splotch of mud clang to the dingy leather of his right shoe.

Ed blanched slightly, 'This guy isn't exactly "Ouran material"... I know they needed to find a teacher, but really?' Ed sighed. This guy basically reeked of suspiciousness.

Tamaki on the other hand, couldn't care less about the new teachers appearance... Well, he didn't exactly approve of the sloppiness of the man's appearance or attire, but he had 'bigger fish to fry' so to speak. Anyway, the king of the host club was currently to preoccupied with his intense observation of Edward to pay attention to the new teacher.

Ed sighed. This was going to be a long day.

At Lunch

In the clubroom, the members were currently preparing for the club activities while eating their lunches. Ed wasn't there at the moment, favoring the library over the clubroom.

Tamaki was standing next to Kyoya, facing the shadow king with utmost seriousness.

"Kyoya, I've come to believe that our friend Edward isn't all that he seems..." Tamaki began, keeping his voice low so the others wouldn't hear.

Kyoya's eyebrow arched quizzically, "Is that so?" he said, silently thinking to himself, 'Has Tamaki actually caught onto something before the others? I'm impressed.'

Tamaki nodded enthusiastically, "Yes, I've come to the conclusion that our friend is in fact..." he paused for dramatic effect, "An alien!"

Kyoya couldn't help but face palm at his friend's childish accusation, "What could possibly lead you to believe that?"

Violet eyes sparkled, "I saw him perform some kinda' magic fixing spell thing! There was blue lightning stuff flying from his hands and he fixed the sculpture he broke!"

"You do realize that the sculpture is still broken, right?" Kyoya said, jotting something down in his ledger.

"I know that! I went in to inspect it, and I broke it again!" Tamaki claimed.

"You were probably just dreaming," The shadow king replied, straightening his glasses.

"I know it wasn't a dream! How could I get hurt by it if it wasn't a dream!" The blonde said, showing the small scratches marring the skin of his palm.

Kyoya sighed, "You probably just tripped in the shower again."

"That only happened twice Kyoya!"

The black haired teen sighed, turning back to his ledger, "Just face it, Edward isn't some magical being from outer space."

Tamaki sighed, going into his corner of gloom.

"What's this about," A voice was heard.

"Ed being an alien?" Another identical voice finished.

Kyoya turned to face the twins, deadpanning slightly as he answered, "Tamaki seems to be convinced that Ed is an alien."

"Eddie-chan's an alien?" Honey asked, skipping over as he clutched Usa-chan in his arms.

Mori followed behind the short blonde, not saying anything as he watched the scene before him.

"Senpai," Haruhi said, exasperated, "That's impossible. Ed is perfectly normal. Kyoya's right, you were just dreaming."

Tamaki sniffled slightly, withdrawing further into his corner of gloom.

"What's everyone talking about?" Winry asked as she walked over to the group huddled around Tamaki's gloom corner.

They all turned around to face the girl. Tamaki immediately shot up and faced her as well.

"Well, Tama-chan thinks that Ed's-" Honey began, only to be cut off as Tamaki clamped a hand around the short blonde's mouth.

"Honey, we can't just blurt it out! We must handle this situation with utmost caution!" Tamaki chided, earning a soft nod from Honey.

Winry sweat-dropped slightly, chuckling awkwardly, "'Ed's' what?"

The violet eyed teen turned to face her, eyes sparkling, "Miss Winry, I know you'll be shocked at this, but after I witnessed such conclusive evidence with my own eyes, I have reached a startling conclusion. I hope you won't faint from hearing this, but the Ed you know is not all that he lets on to be. He's actually something much... stranger. He's... he's... he's...-"

"Tamaki thinks Ed's an alien," Haruhi cut off.

"Daughter! Why'd you say that so suddenly!" Tamaki whined.

"You were rambling again."

"I was building up the suspense!"

The two's arguing quieted down when a chuckle filled the atmosphere. The host club turned to face the still-laughing Winry in confusion.

"What's so funny?" Tamaki inquired.

"You all are so funny!" Winry said between laughs, "I mean sure, Ed's pretty strange, but he's no alien."

"But I saw him repair the sculpture with magic!" Tamaki said, trying to defend his pride.

Winry ceased her laughter, the aura around her getting dark, "What? Magic?"

They all backed off somewhat as the atmosphere turned murderous.

Tamaki hesitantly expounded, "Y-yeah... he clapped his hand a-and there w-was bl-blue lightning and b-bam... it was fixed..."

Winry turned to the door, bangs casting an eery shadow over her face. The host club (besides Mori and Kyoya) reeled back in horror when she pulled out a large, metal wrench. She twirled it in her hands expertly a few times before gripping the cold, metal object.

"What are you," Hikaru began.

"Going to do with that?" Kaoru finished.

"Oh nothing~" Winry said in a voice that was too cheerful, before muttering darkly, "I'm just going to murder a midget..."

The blonde-haired girl made her way to the door, her weapon glinting dangerously in the light. Her hand was about to grasp the door handle when the door swung open, causing her to jump back.

Ed walked in, antennae twitching on his head.

"What're you doing here, Eddie-chan?" Honey asked from the other side of the room.

"Someone in here called me short..." Ed growled, "I'M NOT SHORT DA-..."

He quieted down as his golden eyes flicked down to the wrench grasped tightly in Winry's hands.

"Edward Elric..."

"Co-come on, W-Win..." Ed choked out, backing away in fear, "P-Put the wrench away... Let's talk this through like... civilized people!"

"You IDIOT!" Winry ran forward, brandishing her wrench.

Ed backed up and ran back as fast as he could. The host club winced when a large bang was heard out in the hall. They watched silently as Winry dragged Ed back into the clubroom by his leg, blood pouring comically out of a bump on his head.

Time Skip

Ed and Winry sat on one of the plush couches, the host club sitting on the couch opposite of them. Well, Kyoya and Mori were standing, but that's beside the point. On the table between them, lied the shattered remains of the sculpture.

Kyoya stared at them, glasses glinting dangerously, "Now, Edward, if you wouldn't mind explaining just what you did to repair this piece of art before Tamaki carelessly destroyed it... again..."

Edward gulped, golden eyes darting around the room. A dry chuckle passed his lips, and his mouth went dry, 'Mustang's gonna kill me...'

TheLastNoel: Thanks for the review. And yes, deep shit indeed. I'm glad my grammar checks out (my English teacher's quite the nazi when it comes to that) and I'm glad my description of Ed checks out okay. And I don't think I'm gonna reveal that quite yet, but it shall happen sometime soon. I don't like Emo-Ed either :'(

TeamEdo4ever: Thanks for the review! And he'll explain it next chapter (hopefully). And I'm glad I didn't him constantly angry, he's a character with a diverse personality that's hard to write sometimes. And oh my goodness! That was an uploading error that I didn't notice. I'll try to fix that as soon as possible, but he was basically thinking about how they were rich snobs and stuff etc etc. Ed like thoughts basically.
