The body of Alphonse Elric sat on the floor cross legged staring into blank and empty space

"Truth

Truth

I have proof

That your the truth"

He hummed

Truth glared at it from across the portal

Even though The glowing white human formed being had no eyes He was able to glare

the body of Alphonse Elric do tell me, What is that tune you armed singing?

"I dunno I made it up"

Said Als body

Now why Alphonse Elric's Body, would you make up such a ridiculous tune. Truth flashed a grin of amusement

Because I'm fucking bored!" Als body snapped

" For the past few years I've been sitting here doing nothing and it's getting on my nerves!"

How about I open the gates so you can take a peek inside and see every speck of matter there is to see and learn every ounce of information there is to know about our universe?

"Been there, done that"

the skinny body shook its mane of long blond hair in annoyance

"I've seen the secret of the universe so many times it's boring!"

Well then

Truth replied curtly

How about I beat you in rock paper scissors with your brothers arm it might bring back childhood memories,

"Ugh no I'm sick of rock paper scissors. "

Thumb war?

"No."

Well I have you're brothers leg too shall we play toe wrestle?

Ew!

Als body exclaimed

"I'm not touching my brothers smelly, dirty foot!

I can regale you with tales about all the fools who have passed through my gates...besides you of course

"No too traumatic. Hey I know! How about I tell you some stories?!"

Child have you ever heard of the tale of Hermes and Argus?

...Besides I already know everything there is to know about you

Wait how can I bore you to death if you can't technically die?"

Truth sighed at the body's practicality

Child I don't want to hear the sob story of how your mother wouldn't let you have a kitten for a pet when you were 4

"How about an activity or something?

Like cards or Checkers or scrabble?"

Als body asked

Hmmm now that's an idea... I haven't played a good round of poker since Izumi Curtis passed through my gates.

So Truth fabricated a stack of board games and a deck of cards and lay it out in front of him.

" Hey that's not fair how come you get to fabricate stuff without trading anything in return?" Als body demanded

Child I am God, All , The Truth I can do whatever I want

Als body cocked an eyebrow at Truth,

It was a sophisticated expression for a soulless being

Ok I admit I killed a child somewhere but now that you put the idea into my head I desperately want to play a round of Go Fish.

So Als body and Truth played Go Fish then War then Scrabble, then Checkers

"Ha! I win!" Alphonse's body cried, in triumph, taking the last of Truths black pieces

This is…impossible

Truth uttered in disbelief

Even with all the knowledge in the world at my fingertips...

I demand a round two!

After a few more rounds the skinnny body sighed,

"I'm bored of two person games if we get a third person we ca. play President or Lucky Nines with the cards

Well unfortunately

Truth said

someone had to open the gate to enter I can't drag anyone through...

Oh will you look at that

Als body whipped its head around

" why is that suit of armor walking through the gates?"

/

Somewhere in reality Al, Izumi the Colonel Ed and Hohenhiem had all simultaneoulsy opened the portal of truth at the hands of father and his underlings, Pride and Wrath.

Alphones cursed as his metallic body morphed and dussapeared into the screaming bright void.

He was overwhelmed with all the information in the universe being stuffed and crammed into his soul

" Brother! Mei! Colonel! Teacher! Dad! Hawkeye!" He shouted out the names of the people he was leaving behind to keep his sanity in tact

And just as suddenly as it started it stopped; he found himself at the entrance of the portal of Truth staring into a blank and empty void or nearly blank and empty

"My- my body!"

Al cried running towards his frail skinny, human form that as sitting cross legged in front of him

" Al!" His body cried grasping his thickly padded metallic hand with a scrawny bony one,

" play President with us! We need a third person OH! We can play Monopoly too!"

" What..?" Al looked confused just noticing the stack of board games and cards on the floor next to Truth

" A-Are you playing cards!?" he demanded , stupefied

" With TRUTH!?"

" well obviously? I got bored and the dudes right there."

actually.. Truth said from across the portal

I am neither male or female nor any gender in particular, I am all of them at once so 'dude' may not be the appropriate term

Al looked back and forth between truth and his body with his expressionless mask.

" you didn't come… I got bored…"

Als body said trying to induce guilt into his soul

" I've been looking for you for years!" Al exclaimed

"Well you didn't look hard enough. The least you can do to repay me about your abandonment is to play this round of President."

" you dummy!" Al yelled

" we can play President at home, we can play Monopoly and the Game of Life too."

Ahh there never was such a game as life

Truth muttered , proud of their clever remark.

" no really" Al said

" there's a board have called Life."

Really?!

Truth exclaimed, surprised

Never heard of it

" Can we really play Life at home Al!"

Als body exclaimed happily

"Yes of course!"

Al replied as he began to transfer his consciousness into his human form

"Alright I forgive you for everything let's go ho-"

" Ah sorry!" The Alphonse Elric backed away from his body taking us conciousness back as well

"Yes!" His body exclaimed

" we can play Sorry!"

" no it's uh..Shit, sorry"

"Huh?"

Als body looked wide eyed at its armor-clad soul , confused

" it's just ...I have this fight going on right now in reality and its getting pretty nasty..there's homunculi and I'm pretty sure all everyone in Amestris will be sacrificed by Father at some point in the near future ...

also I I have a bunch of friends to protect. And uh well we look a little worse for wear in that form...so I can't take you back with me sorry!" Al backed away heading for the door

" Look I'll come back for you later! I promise we can play Life later!"

These were Alphonse Elrics words as he slipped back through the gates, leaving with his strong, metal body

Als body was taken a back by this betrayal

Ha rejected,

Truth cackled

"Don't mention it."

the body looked at the floor sadly

Aw cheer up child want to play another round of Go fish?

…

"Sure!"

The body nodded happily and the games resumed
