The Other Side of the Gate, And Across an Ocean

Chapter 4 "Day 3; SakuraCon ends!"

:Next day:

"The convention ends today, Major," Chelle said, pointing at the calendar.

"What!" Ed said, climbing over a large suitcase and tripping over a chair. "But...how will I hide?" Edward was by now aware of the problems he'll face in this new world called America, which included crazy fangirls who practicly worshipped the show.

"Yep...take a look!" Chelle said. Ed looked at the calendar and saw the note "End of SakuraCon" scribbled on the 26th of March.

"What am I going to do?" Ed said fearfully.

"Boy, Ed, those girls must have really got to you." Chelle laughed. "Well, you could get some different clothes I guess...and maybe cut your hair."

"WHAT! I'm happy with changing my clothes, but I've always had long hair...umm, one question..."

"Yes?"

"What's Al going to do? He can't change what he wears, because what he wears is what he is!" Ed said.

"That is going to be a problem." Chelle said sadly. "I could always look up another convention date for you and send you off to there I guess..."

"Okay...but will I meet someone to help me out like you did? I don't know anybody here..."

"You might, you might not. But where ever you go, I'll see if I have a friend near there and see if they can help. There's a convention in Texas, and I have a couple friends down there, one of which would love to meet you."

"She's not the type to run and chase famous people down is she?"

"I don't know, but she's nice and I'm sure you'd like her."

Edward grunted and walked away hopeing that this friend of hers wouldn't chase him down like those other girls.

:Ed's POV later same day:

This girl Chelle says she has a friend down in a place called Texas, I only hope she's not a good runner like the rest... I don't know where this place is, or how close or far it is from Chelle, but she gave me this really small telephone that fits in the pocket of my new jacket; she said her number is in there so if i need help all I'd need to do is press two buttons: the number 2 and this otherone with green markings on it she calls the "Call button".

Chelle bought me a new suitcase and a clothing set. It's not too bad, but I'd prefer what I usually wear.

I've been thinking...Chelle's an unusual lady. She's nicer than Winry sometimes. Although she is taller than me I must admit. But lucky for me I've actually grown another inch since I came here, so I'm catching up to her.

:third person:

Around the afternoon of the 26th, Chelle sent an email to her friend down in Texas who replied saying, "I'd love to have him over!". Around evening, she had found a good price on a plane ticket. Edward said he takes trains more than anything else, so Chelle had a backup in case he didn't want to take a plane. Which he didn't.

The next day Edward was ready to head out. Chelle took him and Al (who unfortunately had to be in a big box) to the train station and they said their goodbyes.

Texas, here they come!
