I dont own FullMetal Alchemist, though I'm sure u know that (have I used that one before?)
chapter 2
"AL?"
Ed-- or, Al... whatever-- looked at Winry, confused.
"What's wrong?" he asked. (Okay, his voice proved that it was Al.)
Winry gulped, still freaked out of her mind. "Uhh... Al?..."
"Yeah?"
"You... y-you might wanna check a mirror for a sec."
Al was still confused, too. But he went to look in the mirror anyway, though he didn't understand why. He stood up, feeling a little shorter than usual (thank God the real Ed's still unconscious), and looked at his reflection. And he... smiled?
"Oh, hi, brother!" he said.
Three... two... one... doubletake!
Al's eyes widened as he took another look in the mirror. He raised his left arm.
Ed raised his right.
Al put his arm down.
So did Ed.
Al put a hand on the back of his head.
And, well, you see where it's going.
Al touched his head, and just as he feared he would expect, felt his braided hair against the back of his neck.
A scream emerged from the Rockbells' house.
"Winry..." Al said, shaking, "W-what happened? Why do I look like Ed?"
"I don't know!" Winry replied. Then she calmed down as she thought. "Unless... ... ..."
"What?"
"... ... That's it!"
"What is?"
"When you guys got struck by that bolt of lightning, it must have done something to your seal, and Ed's automail, and switched you two." Winry crossed her arms and thought aloud, "Huh, easy enough. I don't know why I didn't consider that before."
Al stared at her. "You call that easy?"
Winry glared at Al.
"Aw, man, I feel like I got hit by a train," came a sudden voice. Winry and Al looked to the floor behind them, and saw Ed awake rubbing his-- er, Al's head. Winry quickly took a huge step in front of Al, so Ed wouldn't see him.
Ed groggily stood up, and stared at the floor. He slowly lifted up his head, and smiled.
"Aw yeah, I'm tall!"
Al did an anime fall. Winry did the same right on top of him.
"Hah! Ya see, Winry, I knew there was nothin' to worry abo-- ...Wait. Where's Al?"
Winry stood up. "Uhh, well ya see..."
Al then stood up behind Winry, and walked out from behind her. "Right here."
Ed stared at him in complete shock. He lifted his right arm.
The other him, well... didn't.
Another scream came from the house.
"AW, SHUT UP!" shouted a guy outside.
Ed swung the front door open. "YOU SHUT UP!" he yelled back, shaking his fist.
The guy stared at Ed, just standing there threatening him in a suit of armor. He slowly walked away, never taking his widened eyes off of Ed for a second. As the guy walked away, Ed closed the door. "Okay, Winry," he asked calmly, "I feel compelled to ask you... WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED TO ME?"
Winry threw her head back in agony. "Do I have to explain this all over again?" she groaned.
"Apparently," said Al. Winry shot another glare at him. "Oh." Al smiled nervously, realizing Winry's sarcasm. "Sorry."
"What in the world's going on in here?" The three looked to the doorway as Pinako walked in with Den beside her (a/n: that is the dog's name, right?). "I could hear you two screaming from at least a mile away. What did you do, Al, step on your brother's foot?" Ed glared at Pinako. (ok, I'll stop w/ the glaring)
There was a brief moment of silence in the house. Then Al, Ed, and Winry all started talking at once.
"Well, ya see, there was this thing the guys were doing, and when we came back-"
"Yeah, so Al got zapped 'cause he thought he saw a squirrell and-"
"So Ed tried to get me in the house but I zapped his arm and-"
Of course, if you were actually there, all you would have heard was, "Blah blah blah blah blah, yap yap blah blah dribble dribble dribble." (I got that from Ed Edd 'n Eddy. one of my faves.) When everyone finally shut up, Al just smiled, a sweatdrop rolling down his head.
There was another pause as Pinako stared at them. "Uh-huh." she said, confused. Den just shook himself off. (Remember, it's still raining outside.) A drop of water flew onto Ed's arm.
"Hey, watch the armor, Den!" he shouted.
Pinako's eyes widened at the sudden change in Al's voice. "Well, that was unexpected. Strange, you sound just like Edward."
Ed pretty much turned white from shock.
"Uhh..." Winry took a step forward. "I'll explain this."
XXXXXXXXXXXX
well, I didnt really notice this until after I wrote it, but I kinda referenced something in this chapter.
ok, the part when Al looked in the mirror and said 'Oh, hi, brother,' was sorta like something in an episode of Ed Edd 'n Eddy. see, Eddy was dreaming that he was old, and when he looks in his mirror he says, 'Oh hiya, Grandpa,' then does a doubletake like Al did.
... yea...
ok, bye! r&r!
