If you haven't read The Surreal World FMA Style (not that it has anything to do with the show) you may or may not want to read it. I don't know. You may understand this without reading the other 6 chapters. But you'll miss out on the funny.
I don't know, whatever floats your boat. Until it springs a leak…
Sendo stretched as the sun peaked its way over the buildings of Central. The small room she had slept in a nearby inn was stuffy, and smelt of mold. But she couldn't complain. Or rather, she shouldn't complain. Sendo had a bigger problem. She had to find the Philosopher's Stone in less than fifty one 'episodes'. In less than fifteen hours and thirty minuets of a T.V. show. With two other people, just as, or maybe even more eager to find it. But a problem also laid in the problem. She had to find it with someone that…didn't hate Sendo, but just disliked her as much as you can without hating. The girl groaned and sunk back under the covers. How did she get herself into this? She wanted to just sleep the rest of her life away right there, in that sorry excuse for a bed, but surprisingly, it wasn't Sendo that forced herself away. There was a knock on the door.
"Hey Sendo!" In came a very cheerful Alchemist, perhaps no taller than Sendo herself, though she always commented on his height.
"Um…hello?" Sendo gave Edward Elric a strange look. He just stared back with a wide grin.
"You seem…happy…which homunculus died?" She asked, being completely serious.
"Ha, I wish. No, I actually forced myself to look at the positives of our little deal. The one good thing I thought of was that we may actually be able to find the stupid Stone." Edward replied.
"And what makes you so sure on that?" Sendo tilted her head to the left, something she did all too much.
"You know what these are?" The small Alchemist held up a hefty leather bound book, with many pages sticking out, the book looking quite old.
"Uh, is that the CRCT results?"
'How did he get that?' She wondered.
"Yup it is. And listen to this. Sendo Akiyama: Six hundred out of a possible six hundred in science, math, geography and history. Now do you get it? We need brains like that. If you're really that smart, then we might just find this thing, or maybe even make one without- well, you know…" Edward's grin never disappeared, but just shrunk down to a meek smile.
'Oh shit! He has the one where I swapped results with Jessica!' Sendo was now worried, a knot in her stomach. So he thought she was some super genius? She turned to look at him.
'Oh fuck, he really believes this stuff.' Sendo thought miserably. She had to tell him it was a mistake. A dumb mistake to make herself feel better about scoring a two fifty out of six hundred in every subject. But Ed's smile; So genuine. So sweet. How the hell could she turn someone like him down? With a gulp, Sendo replied,
"Yeah, well, I guess I just study hard…" She coughed up a fake smile, and left it at that. The smile hung wider, and the Alchemist said nothing more, but closed the book, and left Sendo to get ready. Shaking her head, sighing warily, she fell back to the rather hard mattress. He was really getting desperate.
"Damn you Jessica! Why didn't you talk me out of swapping our stupid grades!" Sendo thought she was just yelling at the ceiling, until a familiar red head's face started to materialize in front of her.
"I did… but it was your desire to switch anyways…" Sendo's old school friend Jessica said in a dream like voice.
"Uh, well, you didn't do a very good job…" Sendo briefly wondered if she had gotten drunk the night before, and was going through a serious hangover.
"Never mind that now. I must warn you of a serious danger you will soon face." Jessica's face was now completely in tact, staring at a rather terrified Sendo.
"You mean in more danger than I already am by following Ed around?" Sendo raised an eyebrow.
"No, no, a much greater challenge. You mustn't enter the Tetsujin Temple. Though it's values are great, do not be tempted. There you shall surly meet your doom."
"Uh, who said anything about a temple? I don't know a thing about Tetsu-blah blah blah Temple."
"Wha-uh you don't? We're talking about Tetsujin Temple. The one with the Stone and-"
"What Stone? Are you talking about the one I'm looking for?" This was getting interesting.
"Yeah, I mean uh, no! Do not enter the Tetsujin Temple understand?"
"Uh, sure, but I don't even know where it is…"
"Oh, well that's good. Don't go to the Ama-uh, no! I mean, never go to the Temple! It will be your doom!"
"But I wasn't going to go to it!"
"Yes well. Do not go!" Jessica coughed, sweating a bit.
"Now that we have an agreement, I must be off." And with that the face disappeared.
"Hm…something really tells me I shouldn't go to that temple. Then something else tells me I should. I've never felt such a combination of being confused, and indigestion. OH EDWARD!"
Yes, chapters are short, but this will be a somewhat short fic, so I'm milking all it's worth. Hope you enjoy.
