Chapter 3
Oh great...here again, WHY AM I NOT PAID FOR THIS!? *sighs* Anyways. *clears throat* So here we are, two girls, Alyssa and Renee, one day, October third. The day their lives changed, the moment in time in which they cannot turn back. Typical incidences, such as a failed experiments or being chosen to protect...something, could allow the main character(s) *of sorts* to turn back and turn everything back to normal. To go back to their normal lives. Sadly, these girls didn't have this luxury. This is where destiny takes it's toll. They entered a of trail of sadness, joy and action. They weren't prepared for something, something like this. No one can. In references to storms and natural disasters, all you can do is wade it out and see where it takes you. That's what these girls are doing. This is where our story begins. What will befall of them? Will this be the start of something beautiful? Or will it be utterly dreadful?
Alyssa sighs heavily and sits down at the lunch table next to Renee. She glances at her, staying silent. The air between them is tense. Sasha and Evelyn stare at them in wonder, Sasha in particular. Alyssa picks her head up.
"So, they're using the oceans and the philosopher's stone to power the circles and access the planet's gate," she says, recalling what they had discussed the previous day. They had been digging non-stop for evidence to disprove this, and to somehow turn their lives back to normal. However, they had only been finding more and more evidence to prove it's real.
Renee swallows harshly, a terrible feeling forming in her gut. She nods. "...I know I should be excited this is real but…" Alyssa looks at her sympathetically. "I understand how you feel…" she mutters.
"The homunculi are here on this planet...the world is going to be destroyed. Yes, Amestris is real, but...is it really worth it…?" Renee looks at Alyssa, then back at the ground. "I don't know…"
"I...don't really feel like eating today," Alyssa mutters, pushing away her lunch. "You can have it, Sasha." Sasha perks up, staring at her.
"Are you sure?" She asks. Alyssa nods. "...you two aren't acting like yourselves again today," She says, taking the lunch.
"Sorry…" Renee mutters. "It's fine, I'm just worried for you two," Sasha says. "I won't push you to tell me what it is, but feel free to come to me for help." Alyssa smiles.
"Thanks Sasha…" She says. Renee glances at her and Evelyn. "...may we have a moment alone?" She asks.
Sasha glances at Evelyn, and she shrugs. "Sure," She says, taking Alyssa's lunch and Evelyn with her. The two move to a different table, with some of their other friends sitting at it. Renee looks at Alyssa once more, and her eyes widen.
"Alyssa…" she mutters. Alyssa furrows her eyebrows.
"...what?"
"You're crying," Renee says. Alyssa's eyes widen and she feels her cheeks. They were wet with tears. "What…?"
A-Al!
Alyssa freezes as soon as the words enter her mind. Her breath hitches, caused from a mixture of fangirling and shock.
"Alyssa…? Are you alright?" Renee asks, staring at her friend. "Renee. I kid you not. I just heard someone say 'Al' in my head," She says, turning to her. Renee gasps and cover her mouth with her hands. "No way. No frikin way."
Alyssa nods, wiping the tears off her face. "I swear I heard it," she says. "I believe you...I'm just currently dying internally," Renee responds with a slight laugh. Alyssa smiles and laughs.
Suddenly, Renee senses a presence behind her. It seemed to be lurking at the end of the table, taking slow steps. She freezes, having heard the footsteps clearly.
"...did you hear that?" Renee asks, glancing at Alyssa. The presence was fading. Alyssa shakes her head, eyeing her.
"No...what did you hear?" She asks.
"I heard footsteps," Renee mutters, glancing at where the presence was. "Weird…" Alyssa says, looking away.
Then, the two freeze, a flash of a very familiar scene suddenly overtaking them.
Ed stares in horror at the scene in front of him. Coming out of the center of the human transmutation circle, drawn in chalk, was a large eye, with black hand-like objects coming out around it. One of them reaches for his leg and he freezes, shock and overwhelming pain taking over him. Slowly, his leg starts decomposing into particles, and he lets out a loud scream.
"BROTHER!" Alphonse, who was next to him, screams. He reaches for Ed to try to help him, when another one of the hands grabs him by the collar of his shirt. He freezes as another one wraps around his arm, and another around his leg. Ed's eyes widen as he sees this even happening.
"AL!" Ed reaches out for his brother, swallowing back tears. Al does the same, reaching out a hand as his body is slowly decomposed and taken into the circle. Ed forces himself to reach out farther. He was about to grasp his brother's hand, when suddenly, it disappears. His eyes widen and he freezes, tears slowly running down his face.
"A-Al…!"
The two immediately make eye contact, their eyes glossed over with tears. They remain silent, in shock from what they had just seen.
"Y-You...you saw that...right?" Alyssa asks, her voice quiet. Renee nods slowly, looking down at the ground. "Y-Yeah…"
"That was so…"
"Real?" Renee finishes, looking at her friend. Alyssa nods. She looks down at her hand and stares at it, thinking deeply about what had just occurred. "How did that even…?"
"I...don't know," Renee mutters, resting her forehead in her palms. Alyssa continues pondering the subject, glancing at Renee every so often to make sure she's alright.
How would it be possible for us to see something like that…? Was it a current event? Probably not, considering how things usually work in anime plot logic. It must've been a memory...but how would we- Alyssa freezes, her eyes widening at her realization.
"I figured it out!" She exclaims. Renee looks up at her. "What do you mean…?"
"Every person has their own personal gate, right?" Alyssa starts. Renee nods. "And alchemists' are the only ones with their gates open, enabling them to do alchemy. What if the transmutation last night really did work...and our gates opened?" She explains. Renee's eyes widen.
"...that could explain why we were so dizzy," She says, and Alyssa nods. "And for us to see that memory...our gates would have to be connected to others." Renee stares at her, a smirk forming on her face.
"Are you implying what I think you are?"
"I think I am," Alyssa says with a smirk.
"We would have to be connected to Amestrian's gates to access their memories, which means…" Renee looks at Alyssa.
"Communication," They say in unison.
~~~LE TIME SKIPPY TO ENGLISH CLASS!~~~
Alyssa sighs as she opens the chrome book on her desk, typing quickly to sign in to her account. Renee does the same, deadpanning as she pulls up the assignment on google classroom.
"I hate participles…" Renee mutters, clicking on the worksheet. "Same…" Alyssa says with a sigh and doing the same. She starts looking at the work, reading each question thoroughly and typing an answer on the line.
"Past participle...present...none...front of sentence...MEHH. This is so BORING," She says. Renee nods in agreement.
Do you think this is working…?
I hope it does.
Renee freezes. Alyssa glances at her, raising an eyebrow in curiosity.
"Renee…? Are you alright?" She asks. Renee shakes her head and covers her mouth with her hands.
"Did you hear someone's voice?"
Renee nods.
"Who was it?!"
YES! It worked!
Shhhh!
What?!
Idiot, you don't want to freak her out!
...oh. Sorry...Renee?
Renee nods, hiccuping from fangirling. Alyssa stares at her. "Renee. Who is it?"
"I-It's…" Renee takes a deep breath to calm herself. "It's Anni and Ling. I think." Alyssa freezes.
"Was it just a few words, or were they taking directly to you?" She asks. "Directly to me," Renee says. Alyssa's eyes widen, and she smiles brightly.
"Hell yes! We have contact!" She exclaims happily. Renee nods, smiling.
I wanna talk to both of them!
Ling, that's kinda impossible. We're limited to just speaking with her.
Still…
"Can they hear me?" Alyssa asks. Renee nods. "They can?! Okay...I'm okay…" She covers her mouth with her hands and breathes deeply to calm herself.
"I'm...I-I'm gonna try talking to them…" Renee says. Alyssa nods and says, "Go right ahead," before going back to taking deep breaths.
Hello…? C-Can you two hear me…? Renee thinks.
Oh, HI! Ling exclaims happily. Renee? Is that you we're hearing? Anni asks. Renee nods. Yeah, it is. H-Hi!
Just making sure, you two are Renee Sibug and Alyssa Alpaugh, right? Anni says. Yeah, it is, Renee thinks, a smile forming on her face. Alright, just making sure we got the right people, she says.
Telepathy is so weird… Ling mutters. She could feel his presence shifting around in her head. She winces as his presence starts growing. U-Um...Ling…? She thinks. The presence in her head grows even more.
Ling. Brother! Anni exclaims.
Wha-? Ling starts. Renee freezes, and her consciousness goes black.
Alyssa stares at her, seeing her friend stare, frozen, at the computer screen. "Um...Renee..?" She asks timidly. Renee blinks, looking around.
"Huh. So this is a middle school! Cool-Wait," 'Renee' deadpans. Alyssa looks at her in interest, noticing the slight change in the tone of her voice.
"You...you aren't Renee...are you?" She asks, backing away slightly in her chair. 'Renee' pulls up the camera on the chrome book, and takes a good look at herself.
Anni laughs. Nice going, brother, she says.
Ling stares at himself in the camera, and instead of seeing himself, he sees a 13-year-old girl staring back at him. He pales.
"...shit."
Roy: *is on the floor* ...Ow..how the hell did I get beat by children?!
Snowfur and Renee: *high-fives each other* YEAH!
Anni: The answer is YES.
Alyssa: *laughs* Dear lord. You all fight too much.
Renee: I KNOW! *laughs*
Alyssa: I legitimately felt like an asshole when writing the flashback XD *anime tears* So sad...
Ed and Al: HOW DO YOU THINK WE FELT?!
Alyssa: I know! And that's why I'm giving you both a hug. *hugs Ed and Al*
Ed and Al: *hugs Alyssa*
Renee: Roy...why did you fight like a girl…?
Snowfur: *mutters to Renee: He fights with pride.*
Alyssa: *almost chokes on water**coughs* JFC.
Renee and Snowfur: *burst into laughter*
Roy: I can both incinerate you if I snap my fingers, you know that.
Renee: Just like you did to Lust?
Roy: That was very dark time in my life, shut up!
Renee: *laughs* Fine, dad.
Roy: And I do not fight like a girl!
Renee: Yes, yes you do.
Alyssa: Do you see the way you snap tho. It's girly.
Renee: And it looks like you're trying to hit on someone.
Alyssa: *laughs* But enough of roasting the flame alchemist, we should head on to reviews.
