"Interviews with John the Reporter" is one of the worst chat show on telvision, while "My Life as an Alchemist" and "The Two Worlds" both written by Edward Elric are two of the best books of the 1900s. "My Life as an Alchemist" is about his life on the other side of the gate, while "The Two Worlds" is a book about both the Alchemist World and our world. He doesn't usually accept interviews, but strangely out of all the shows he could have went on he chose to be interviewed of John the Reporter.

Today on "Interviews with John the Reporter" 3-hour special, we have Edward Elric… the ALCHEMIST! His life is full of action-packed experience that a man could ever wish for… so stay tuned to the "Interview with the Alchemist"

John the Reporter was wearing a suit today sitting in his interview chair without any enthusiasm, he thought, "No one would watch the show anyways." While Edward Elric who looked like a 15 year old, with the same height, plats in his hair wearing his usual alchemist robe sat on the chair sidely beside John's chair.

The Director yelled, "ACTION!"

The interview has begun, John the Reporter said to the camera, "Good afternoon, today I am honoured to be interviewing an astonishing person with an astonishing experience. He is Edward Elric…" When saying this he was actually thinking, "Interviewing a bluffing person, how absurd is that." Although there were many "bluffing" people who were interview in the past, for example famous authors.

Edward Elric said to John, "Hello… I never imagined myself going on TV"

John couldn't think of an opening question, so he observed the so-called 'alchemist' for something interesting about his physical appearance, then he saw two things: he was short and looked way too young for his age, so he said, "I have an opening question…"

Edward Elric said expressionlessly, "yes?"

John the Reporter made a fake laughter and asked, "Why are you so short and young?"

Edward Elric glanced at the recorder, and said calmly, "This question would have pissed me off it was asked when I was younger, as for my youth… I'll talk about it later in the interview"

John was disappointed by the answer, but anyways he started the conversation, now he had to end the first bit of their conversation, "Oh… I just thought that would be a nice icebreaker…"

Edward Elric made a fake grin and said sarcastically, "Ha ha ha, very funny. I could definitely tell you that it wasn't one of those facial products out there."

John the Reporter was happy by this reply, since he could delay a few minutes of the interview time by saying, "Ladies would definitely go buy it if it was for sale, maybe I would." Laughing joke he just made up. Edward laughed also. John continued, "So…what do you want to talk about."

Edward Elric said solemnly, "My world"

John the Reporter was wishing for another answer, but he was taught in his training to talk about things the person being interviewed wants to talk about, "em… OK let's talk about your world, afterall that 'WORLD'" At the word 'world' he made a quoting gesture and continued, "has made you bestseller for I don't know how many years."

Edward Elric said expressionlessly, "Don't worry, it'll relate to things that happened in 'THIS' world also." Also making a quoting guesture but at the word 'this'

John the Reporter tried to sound interested saying, "Oh... it must be very very interesting…" Although he found a 'world' anything but interesting.

Edward Elric said sarcastically knowing that John the Reporter was not at all interested, "If it wasn't interesting it wouldn't be on the bestseller list for such a long time."

John the Reporter said, "So…" While saying 'so' he was actually thinking of something to say."

Director yelled, "CUT! CUT! CUT! What the FUCK were you thinking John, sound interested even if you aren't"

John the Reporter shivered saying, "I'll try…" with a shaking voice.

Director said demandingly, "You better…"

John the Reporter whispered, "By the way… one thing… why does he look so young? He supposed to be like 90 or something."

Director whispered back, "It's your job to find out."
