I'm so sorry that I haven't updated this in like, forever! I was stuck in a rut, and couldn't figure out where to go with this story. Thanks go to Alchemy Otaku, who helped me out of the rut! Your suggestions were most helpful!

Anyway, I hope that you enjoy this chapter. Please feel free to offer suggestions. I could really use them.

Disclaimer: I don't own either Stargate SG-1 or FullMetal Alchemist. It would be cool if I did, but I don't, so quit asking. Heh, okay, so you've never asked, big deal!

Edward rushed up to a house with a little sign hanging over the door that read "Rockbell Auto-mail". He went in without knocking, which of course was rude, but he had too much on his mind. SG-1 was only a few steps behind Edward before he entered the house. They weren't going to enter without permission like their young friend. That was just too impolite.

Of course, Colonel O'Neill didn't really see any reason why he couldn't listen to whatever came through the open door and windows. Edward was certainly talking loud enough.

"Winry, I'm telling you, strange thing have been happening lately, and these people are from another world. They came through the Gate."

"How do you know these people are really from another world?" came a skeptical female voice.

"Well, they act and look different than us…and they gave this to me."

"Wow, please let me take it apart and see what makes it tick!"

"No! We don't know what would happen if you did that. This is a weapon, not a toy. I had to use this to defend myself from a bunch of strange guys that appeared in Central out of nowhere."

"But that still doesn't prove that they're from another world."

"Well, why don't you talk to them yourself? They're waiting outside."

"They're waiting outside? Edward, how could you? They must think we're the rudest people in the world!"

After a moment, a girl about Ed's age with light blonde hair appeared at the door. "I'm so sorry we kept you waiting. Ed didn't even tell us you were here."

"Hey, that's okay," said O'Neill. "As long as the food's good, I'll forgive anything." Sam jabbed him in the side with her elbow. "Are you looking for a court marshal, Major?" said O'Neill with a chuckle. He knew he deserved that jab.

The girl laughed. "I'm Winry, I'm pleased to meet you. Ed and I have known each other pretty much our entire lives. Please, won't you come in?"

The four members of SG-1 followed their host into the house, where they were led to the sitting room and instructed to make themselves at home.

SG-1 all found comfortable places to sit and Winry pulled up a chair. After a brief period of introductions, Colonel O'Neill jumped right to the heart of the matter.

"Winry," said O'Neill, "Ed tells us that you are the one that created that arm for him."

"Well, yes, I did," she said, "Both his arm and leg."

"He lost a leg too?" said Daniel. Winry nodded. Daniel brushed the bangs out of his eyes "He never mentioned his leg."

Winry sighed, "That boy, he wouldn't."

Colonel O'Neill butted in. "Back where we come from, we don't have that kind of technology for prosthetic limbs. We were wondering if we could negotiate some sort of trade for the secrets of your technology."

"A trade?" asked Winry, "Like what kind of trade?"

"Well," said Colonel O'Neill, "One thing we might be able to trade with you is some of your technology. Except for your auto-mail, this…land…of yours seems pretty technology deprived compared to other lands." He had decided in favor of using the word "land" instead of "world" to keep Winry from putting up a wall against them. It was one thing to have Edward say they were from another world, and quite another for them to claim it themselves.

"Technology?" said Winry, "What kind of technology could you country give in exchange?" They told her about everything from computers to cell phones, and she seemed genuinely impressed. "I'll certainly consider your offer," she said, "I just need to think it over."

"Understood," said O'Neill, "Take your time."

Winry then apologized for having to leave them alone for a moment, since she had some things to attend to, and left the room.

"Sir," said Carter as soon as the girl had left the room, "Should we have come here when the Jaffa landed in Central? The people on this world are so helpless against them."

"There's no real threat…yet," said O'Neill. "I could tell that that was just a test to see if these people were easy targets or not. Well, the Goa'uld just figured out that they're not that easy to conquer, in spite of their lack of technology, so they've retreated until they could plot a new strategy."

"Then we shall teach these people how to defend themselves from the Goa'uld," said Teal'c.

"Yes, we'll do that," said O'Neill, "But we'll need the help of our little alchemist friend to convince people that we're telling them the truth. I also figured that trying to negotiate some friendly trade might help them to trust us a bit."

"But, sir," said Carter, "Edward can't even convince Winry. How will he convince those that don't know him like she does?"

"Give the kid some time," said O'Neill, "He'll figure it out."

Later that day, the four members of SG-1 and the three young people were walking through the countryside of Rizenbul, chatting with each other about whatever came to mind, and admiring the beautiful fields filled with golden wheat.

Just then, the wind picked up, and was blowing hard. The wheat was bobbing in the fields, and everyone's hair was blowing in their faces. They watched as a small cyclone formed in front of them, and then disappeared after a few seconds, leaving a woman dressed in white standing in front of them.

"What the heck is that thing?" said Colonel O'Neill, "Is it one of those homo-whatevers?"

"I don't think so," Edward shook his head. "I've never seen anything like this before."

Winry wasn't thinking in terms of what, but whom, this woman was. "Who are you?" The woman just stared. "Can you speak?" The woman continued to stare. That stare even made Winry nervous.

After a moment, the wind again picked up, and the woman vanished in a cyclone.

"Yeah…that…was…weird," said Daniel.

"We've seen weirder," said O'Neill. "Do you honestly not know anything about that thing?" he said, turning to Ed.

"I've never seen or heard of them before. I don't know what it is!" said Ed, defensively.

Colonel O'Neill sighed. "Somehow, I think that there must be something highly desirable on this planet, because all these different life forms are starting to invade it."

Winry gasped. "Th-Then, you're really from another world…like Ed said?" Apparently, that strange wind woman made her more willing to believe.

"We are, indeed," said Teal'c.

She didn't say anything more. She needed to think.

"Let's…go home," Edward suggested. No one argued with that, so they all started back to the Rockbell residence.

Suddenly, a village boy came running up to them. "Edward! Did you see that? A bunch of these strange 'wind people' are suddenly appearing out of nowhere!"

"Yes, we saw one of them," said Edward, "Can you tell us anything more?"

"Not much," said the boy, still out of breath, "But I know that so far, all they've done is appear, then leave. They haven't attacked anyone yet, but everyone's terrified. What's going on, Edward?"

"What makes you think that I know?" asked Edward, indignantly.

"You're one of those State whatevers with the military, so I thought you might have an idea of what was going on."

"I don't know anything more than you do," said Edward, "But I'll try to figure something out. Go back and make sure to tell everyone to stay calm, okay?"

The boy thanked Edward, and then ran back towards the village. Edward sighed. "Well, it looks like I have my work cut out for me."

"Hey, we're in this too. We'll help you," said O'Neill.

"Thanks," Edward smiled.

The seven individuals continued to walk back to the Rockbell house. They would just have to have someone else to deal with on top of the Goa'uld and the homunculi, wouldn't they? Of course, as they always say, trouble always comes in threes.
