I just finished watching Hybrid Child and felt the dire need to type a Fanfiction based on this story. Fuck… this thing made me cry so many layers or tears… blankly every single episode except the 3rd one. I'll be writing an FMA based one first, and then I'll perhaps move on to Code Geass or Kuroshitsuji- I'll see how this one goes.

For those who haven't read my previous stories- I would like to inform you that I am not a native of the English language and my grammar is not perfect nor is it anywhere near it.

According to the response I would decide to whether continue writing this or leave it as it is, your reviews are the core decision in this!

Disclaimer: I do not own FMA in any way and neither do I own the idea of "Hybrid Child" Everything belongs to their rightful owners. I am merely doing this for my own entertainment and not gaining any financial profit from doing so.

Chapter 1: Neither Doll nor Human

I don't remember when exactly, but I did remember the grey sky and swirling clouds on the day I found a boy lying there at the side of the train tracks. He was dirty and fragile-looking. Covered in a layer of mud and dust one could barely make out his facial features.

From what I saw- the boy was colorless- his hair was tangled in knots and a pale white-grayish color- His eyes were blank and the color of glass stained with mud- a murky brown.

At that time all I remembered thinking was: "What is he doing there like that?"

And somehow I decided to drag him home- back to the comfort of the warm house. The boy although his eyelids were open he didn't seem to be moving- he didn't seem dead either. His body was cold- but not cold with no warmth.

The me at that time was a mere 5 years old- that boy was even smaller than me in size, which I am completely fine with since most kids in the town are taller than me and I have a small grudge against it- no, I'm not short- just still growing.

"Edward, what did you bring home this time?" Trisha shouted from the kitchen.

She poked her head out from the kitchen with a spatula in her hand. Her face when she saw her son covered in sweat and mud resembled one of a fish out of water.

"I found him near the train tracks and…" Ed fumbled, trying to explain while trying to get a better grip on the unmoving boy with his tiny hands.

"Oh my, we need to get you two cleaned!" Trisha gasped throwing her spatula into the sink and rushing to the two boys dragging her son to the bathroom.

Their apartment wasn't really big- it was a perfect fit for a family of 3-4 people- but currently there were only 3. Trisha's husband- Hohenheim- had a habit of traveling the world conducting his business and therefore he hasn't been back for 3 years now.

Money is sent every now-and-then, and it keeps the financial problems in the family pretty steady- Edward had no idea what his father did for a living but as far as he knew it was something that could keep his mom and him from dying of hunger.

"Edward you go bath in my room while I get this poor child steady," Trisha ordered her child as she gestured the door to her room.

She later then dragged the new comer to the main bathroom and confirmed her suspicions.

Trisha unclothed the boy and ruffled around the nape of the boy's neck looking like she was trying to find something. After a while she came to a stop and gazed at the number that was printed onto the boy's cold skin:

[00010]

"A hybrid child…" Trisha signed as she traced her fingers over the numbers. She later confirmed that the model was one of the very first- at the present time the latest model is the 3000th- this one is only the 10th model.

If Edward found it by a train track it only mean that the child fell from the train and landed here- Resembool- but such an early model wouldn't be of use in the main city anymore- it's probably about to be carried to the dump.

Trisha pondered about what to do with it- but then she ruffled the boy's colorless hair and gave a warm smile to the lifeless creature.

"From now on you're our family," She whispered softly, rinsing the child of the mud and thinking of a way to explain this to her son.

Hybrid Child are neither human nor are they a robot. They resemble the features of a human being- only a few of them would resemble something else to fit their owner's taste.

These pieces of electronic was developed for some time already- and since its debut have been seriously famous among the audience of middle aged men who seek pleasure in things that they could not obtain.

Some are used for better purposes- therapy or just company for those who are lonely.

The child at first are unable to either move or speak- they would only grow when their master give them enough love and affection.

After their owner give them the requirements and teach them about things they need to know- only then would they be able to grow into a more mature and acknowledgeable system.

The 10th model has a special function to it that allows the doll's features to reflect what their master gives them.

And they say that how the doll turns out would be their owner's sub-consciousness- simply their untold desire that one self may not even know to begin with.

"Edward, come here," Trisha called her son after she finished cleaning up the hybrid child.

"Just a second mom," Edward shouted from his room struggling to pull his pants up his small body-frame.

After a few moments the blonde ran over to his mother and paused when he saw the happy grinning middle-aged woman in front of him.

"Why are you smiling mom?" Edward asked cautiously- fully aware that at times when his mother smile like she is right now it might end in something bad.

"Edward- do you remember about the Hybrid Child that appeared on TV a few days back?" Trisha asked her son.

"Yeah, they were pretty cool,"

"Well, the boy you picked up isn't a full boy after all,"

"What do you mean?"

"You just picked up a hybrid child!"

Trisha gestured at the stone-like doll who was sitting peacefully on a wooden stool- unmoving and with no emotion.

"Can we keep him?" Edward asked eagerly now knowing what it was.

"Sure why not!" Trisha exclaimed picking up her son and placing him on her lap, "From now on, if you cherish him enough- he would become like your brother,"

"You mean it?" Edward bounced up and down on his mother's lap looking as happy as a child at an amusement park.

"Yep!" Trisha said enthusiastically, "But you need to take good care of him alright? Otherwise he would be the same as he is now forever,"

"I'll treasure him forever!" Edward beamed.

Trisha smiled and ruffled her child's hair and enjoyed the pleasant smell it emitted due to Edward just washing his hair a few minutes ago. It was like having another child- and it would make the house a much livelier place than it already is.

Edward wasn't the most sociable of all children-he was both cheerful and playful but sometimes he would seem slightly scary and had certain trust issues at times. Trisha didn't know what caused him to be like this but it was something long ago- and she felt bad as a mother that she didn't know when it happened.

"What would you name him Edward?" Trisha asked still smoothing her child's hair- trying desperately to get the antenna down even when she knew that it would never stay down with the rest of the strands.

"What about Alphonse?" Edward suggested after a while of tapping his chin.

"Alphonse it is then," Trisha beamed.

I'm finally done! I immediately came to type this after I finished Hybrid Child and in my time zone it's already approximately 23:15 by now. This story is going to process pretty fast cause I have my long stories going on and those are already a pain… this would be more like a series I guess…

I'm still kind of depressed after the ending of Hybrid Child and feel that I DESPERATELY need to go and rewatch Sekai ichi Hatsukoi or something like that… gah… the ending slightly drove me mad- I cry easily so it was no surprise I got choked up.

Either way if you guys like the idea please tell me so! Reviews are most welcome! I love them to the dearest extent and would appreciate them a lot! I would also enjoy conversing with you guys if you have any story ideas to suggest- just tell so and I'll PM you, or you can PM me.
