Sort of...: Ed finds out Elise is his alter BUT SHES A GIRL? HOW COULD ED BE A GIRL? And what's this? Roy gets smacked?
"Elsie….please…calm down.." Leon shrugged, grabbing her braid. "HEY, HEY! LET GO! OW THAT HURTS!" Leon pulled harder till she said sorry. When she finally did, he had a red hand print on his check faster than anything humanly possible.
Elsie growled at him, after smacking him. "Thanks to you, I just had half my roots pulled out of my head!" Elsie said glaring at him. "If my hair doesn't grow back Leon, I'm blaming you!" Leon sighed and apologized. He knew Elsie was short tempered. They had been friends since birth. Elsie was like a sister to him. Elsie took her braid out and let her hair fall down in front of her face, something she hardly ever did. "Okay, now she looks more mature." Roy stated, watching the girl.
"What was that?" Elsie glared, shooting daggers at the military dressed officer. Did she care? No. "Oh, nothing; nothing." Roy said, realizing if she was anything like ed, she'd be beating him up in a second. "That's what I thought. Now then" Elsie regained her posture and introduced everyone. "Hi, I'm Elsie Elric, This here is Leon Prescott. The black head is Caelie Walkers, and over there is Gracie McMillan." She stated again, getting wide eyes. "Are you sure she isn't related." Roy said grabbing Ed by the collar of his shirt, and lifting him a few inches off the ground, agitated. "Positive Colonel Bastard. Speaking of it, what the hell are you doing here?"
Ed's eye twitched slightly, a bit annoyed. "Yes well, okay then. Now. Since you've been gone for so long, I decided to come by and give you you're new mission, to make sure you actually DO IT this time, instead of throwing it away like the last one." Roy said glaring at him. Ed sneered at him. "I WASN'T GOING TO BABY SIT SOME BRAT YOU COLONEL BASTARD!" Ed said fuming.
"A mission is a mission fullmetal whether you like it or not!" Elsie sighed and stepped in between the two. "Okay, I have no idea what you're talking about, but your giving me a headache. And I'm already pissed off so shut it! I need to talk to whoever owns this house." Elsie said hitting them both on the head with all her might, getting glares from both. Pinako stepped forward, "That would be me, young lady. Now may I ask what you are doing here." The old lady said her hands behind her back.
She looked a bit scary, and kinda gave Elsie the creeps, but who didn't? "Uh yes well, you see. We were on our way to a concert hall in Texas, when a bright purple light came form no where and blinded us all. After that, we were about to run into this old fashioned vehicle and swerved to get out of the way. But we weren't on the highway, we were well…here." Elsie didn't fully know how to explain. Nor did she notice Winry's starry eyes of determination with her i-can't-wait-to-take-it-apart like face, as she looked at the vehicle. "Well then, I guess you should come inside for something to eat then." Pinako stated, walking back into the house.
Elsie was about to protest, till Gracie and Caelie covered her mouth. "We'd be glad to!" They said in unison, seeing veins pop on Elsie's head, realizing they needed to stop doing that. Ed, Roy, and Al had all headed inside, the other five quickly following. "Well if your car ever shuts down, we know where to come" Leon said sheepishly. "I'LL FIX IT!" Winry said as if on que.
"Hey, you don't perhaps have a shower do you? We've been traveling for almost a day yet, and we don't exactly have hot water in the bus." Caelie said sheepishly as Pinako and Winry both nodded. "It's upstairs to the left." Winry said happily. It was good to have other girls her age in the house every once and awhile. The three girls headed upstairs and found the room that they would be staying the night in. "Well, we obviously ain't in Kansas anymore girls. Not even America for that matter…"
Caelie stated, looking at newspapers that were stacked on top of a dresser. "It really is…1921…but there's no such place called…wait a minute!" Gracie smacked her forehead. "Oh my gosh…Caelie…you remember that movie I showed you, the one I watched a long time ago in Japanese…THIS IS IT!" Gracie said freaking out. Caelie went wide eyed. "WHAT! Oh dear god, it all make sense now. It was a year before we met you Elsie. Remember how we both freaked out? And said she looked EXACTLY like ed, and she had no earthly idea what we were talking about."
Elsie nodded. Her hair color was natural, and she had always acted the way she did. She even had records to prove it. "I'm going to get in the shower." Elsie walked out of the room, leaving the two to talk. "You think she's…" Gracie said looking at Caelie. "She very well could be…Ed's alter." Caelie finished, neither of them realizing Elsie was listening. She grinned and headed towards the shower, locking the door behind her.
After she got out, and put her clothes back on she unlocked the door and began wringing her hair out. The door was open all the way. Ed passed back noticing the girl. "Hey." He said stepping back to see Elsie drying her hair. "Yo." She greeted back. Elsie laid the towel on her shoulders and let out a sigh. "I look horrible." She shrugged. Ed entered and looked at her. She really did look like him; well, except for the eye color, seeing to the fact she wore gold contacts for some odd reason, even though she didn't need them.
"Hey, didn't you have yellow eyes earlier?" Ed asked noticing it. "Yeah. I took my contacts out, I don't need them, I just don't like having green eyes…" Elsie let out another sigh, and reached into her little bag that was sitting on the counter and look out some facial wash. "What are you doing?" He asked curiously. "Washing my face…" Elsie was getting a bit annoyed. Of all people he annoyed her.
"Why..." he asked again. "Because I'm a girl and if I don't I'll look retarded…Caelie and Gracie do the same exact thing. It's just a chick thing…" She said, eye twitching slightly. "Well that's not really what I wanted to ask you. You're not from around here. I've been a lot of places, but no one dresses like that. Where are you from?" Ed asked seriously. There was somewhat of a fire in his eyes, and it reminded Elsie too much of herself. "Well truly, we're form the year 2006, don't ask. Second, I don't know how we got here. Third, Caelie and Gracie said something about me being your alter, whatever the hell that means. But I'm about to ask them, so you can come if ya want." Elsie stepped out of the bathroom without a second thought.
Ed shrugged, glaring at the spot where Elsie had been. He let out a sigh, and followed her into the room, where Caelie and Gracie where found laughing. "Yo. What's so funny?" Elsie asked looking at them. "Aww! Don't tell me you started playing dare without me!" Elsie pouted slightly. "No! We would never do that! Gracie was just telling me about her brother falling from the second story of their house. Again!" As soon as Caelie said that Elsie started cracking up. Ed looked at them strangely. What was so funny about your little brother falling form the second story of a house? "Did he not get fazed again?" Elsie asked.
Gracie shook her head. "He got up, stumbled, and said 'that was one heck of a ride' then past out" The three girls started laughing again, after about five seconds they stopped and sighed. "That's so funny. Anyways, what were ya'll saying about me being an alter what cha ma call it?" Caelie and Gracie stood there looking at her. She had heard. Gracie was the first to break the silence. "Sit..." She said, Elsie did as she was told, but before doing so she grabbed Ed and brought him down with her.
Gracie told them the story about how there were two worlds, one being the haragen world, the other the 'normal' world. She told them about how in the 'normal' world there were alters of those in the haragen world. Meaning if there was a dog here named Boa Whatever, there would probably be a dog in the 'normal' world named Boa whatever. She told them that, seeing as how Elsie was a female version of Ed, who came from farther up the timeline, it was possible there were others. Whatever, that meant. "So you're saying; I'm him?" Elsie said, understanding little.
"And I'm her?" Ed finished, quite shocked. "Yep…" Gracie said snickering. "YOU'RE DIFFERENT PEOPLE! BUT YOU'RE ONE IN THE SAME!" Gracie started laughing again. Leaving Elsie and Ed shocked at what they had just found out. "So guess you re related in a way!" Caelie said. "COMMON GRACIE! I'LL RACE YA TO THE BUS!" Caelie jumped to her feet and headed out the door, Gracie chasing yelling "YOU'RE ON!" Elsie and Ed sat there. Elsie was the first to break it with a sigh. "I hate my life." She said falling back onto the floor.
"don't we all?" Ed asked looking at her. "No…Caelie loves hers and Gracie thinks hers is fun because it's so whacked up. And then Leon is just there. Mom never really cared, she was always to busy at work to care. Dad was never home, he was either off with friends, or at a bar getting drunk. I don't have siblings, nor do I want one, too much of hassle. If I ever did have one though, it would be a sister. I'm sorry, but I've had to baby sit plenty of little boys to realize if they have a crayon in their hand, it's not going to go on the paper, it's going to go on the wall." Elsie said staring at the wall. Ed laughed at her little detail about little kids writing on walls with crayons.
"Me and Al use to draw transmutation circles on the floor when we were little. No body cared, they new it was an art for kids to perform alchemy." Elsie shrugged. "If I ever did anything like that, I'd probably get kicked out of the house. We don't have things like that; just, normal people, living normal lives, doing normal things, so on and so one. BUT HECK I'M GOING TO MAKE THE MOST OUT OF MY LIFE WHILE I'M LIVIN AND THERE'S NOTHING ANYONE CAN DO AOBUT IT!" With that she shot up and had the same fire in her eyes, Ed had when he was determined. It made him smile.
"do you know anything dealing with fighting?" He asked questionably. Elsie looked at him. "Are you kidding? What girl doesn't? With all the rapists, stealers, killers, and things like that out there?" Elsie shot up. "And you wouldn't last a minute against me shrimp!" She teased. Ed fumed. "WHO ARE YOU CALLING SO SHORT HE COULDN'T BE SEEN UNDER THE WORLD'S LARGEST MICROSCOPE!" He yelled at her, only to have her laugh. "AND I COULD TO BEAT YOU!" he growled. "You're on!" Elsie ran out of the door, Ed chasing after her. On the way down the stairs Elsie almost tripped but went out laughing.
"CAN'T CATCH ME, SHRIMP!" Winry and Roy had seen this and looked, only to see Ed heading out the door. "WHAT THE HELL? WE'RE THE SAME HEIGHT YOU STUPID GIRL!" Ed saw her skidded to a stop, looking at her with a grin on her face. Winry, Roy, Al, had gathered outside form inside the house, while Caelie, Leon, and Gracie came form the bus. "Uh oh, Ed's about to get his ass kicked." Leon stated, sighing. "What do you mean?" Al asked looking at him. It wasn't every day Ed took on a girl. "Last person to fight Elsie, got hospitalized for a week and a half. She was using self defense of course, but still..." Al was shocked. "HOSPITALIZED!" He said, freaking out.
"Don't worry, Edo! I'll go easy on ya!" Elsie laughed, while Ed fumed. He HATED that name. "DON'T CALL ME THAT! And YOU'RE THE ONE WHO'S GOING TO WANT TO ACT TOUGH!" he yelled at her. Elsie charged him, ducking down fast, and swiping his leg. Ed dodged and jumped backwards. Elsie brought her palm up, fingers curled half way.
Ed tripped but quickly kicked upwards at her. Elsie dodged by doing a back flip and landing on the ground only to have ed grabbing her arms behind her. "I win." He said snickering slightly. Elsie grinned. "Think so?" With that she freed one of her arms and brought Ed over her shoulder, throwing him onto the ground in front of her. "Seems like it's the opposite now!" She yelled at him. Ed quickly thought of a plan and took his right arm and swiped her feet, so she fell. Ed had his fist to her face, kneeling at her right side. "Might want to rethink that" Elsie snickered. "Lesson 26 of the self defense class against smugglers; If they have a fist to your face, LIFT YOUR LEG OPPOSITE THEM AND HIT THEM IN THE FACE!" while saying so, Elsie did exactly that. Taking her left leg, she brought it over hitting Ed in the side instead of the head. "But seeing as you're a guy, I decided not to hit you in the face!" Elsie said jumping up quickly and backing up a few steps. Ed growled; it wasn't every day he lost to 'himself.'
He was on the ground, wincing in pain. She had gotten his side REALLY hard. Wait where those spikes on her shoes? "Give up?" Elsie asked teasingly. "Never!" Ed got up slowly. Before he knew it, the girl had brought her foot down on him again. "Think so now? I'm wearing high heels don't ya know? It's every guy's worst nightmare to have one jammed into their back!" She said snickering. "FINE, I GIVE! I GIVE! JUST GET THE HELL OFF OF ME!" Ed yelled. Elsie put her foot back down by her other and snickered. "I win!" Ed got up and growled slightly.
"You're just as bad as Al" Ed said looking at her. "But then again you are my alter." Roy walked over to Elsie and congratulated on her for winning against the 'sprout.' But insulting him was insulting her was it not? "WE ARE NOT SHORT GOD DAMNIT!" With that Elsie had grabbed smacked Roy, even though he was a good half foot taller than him. "And if I ever catch you calling either one of us that again, you'll find yourself crawling on the floor!" Roy blinked. What the hell just happened? Gracie and Caelie walked over and explained. He sighed, he should have figured as much.
The group all went inside, ate, and went to bed. It had been a long day; and tomorrow would probably be longer. Elsie had actually been enjoying the day. She had met herself, well somewhat. Caelie and Gracie had been able to officially trick Ed into drinking milk, even though Elsie had warned him. Roy had gotten his ass kicked by girl almost half his age. And well everyone just liked it there.
That's all for now! Please R&R! I had fun writing this. Now off to bed with me! TILL NEXT TIME!
