Harley was amazed by the place he was in. It was wintertime in this world, and it the temperature was very low, and Harley didn't have a heavy enough coat to help block out the winter's harsh cold air. Shivering he walked around trying to find shelter for the night. After walking for almost 20 minutes Harley heard a voice close by. This could be the chance to find a place to stay warm. Harley ran towards the voice, which was coming from behind a building. As he turned the corner all he saw was a short, dark haired young man in glasses, carrying a basket of laundry. It was now or never.

"Um… Excuse me sir?" Harley called out to the young man, who turned around to see who it was. Upon doing so the mystery man slipped on a small patch of ice and came crashing down to the ground, with his clean laundry flying everywhere. Harley ran over the man to see if he was all right.

"Are you okay? That was a pretty big fall you had!" said Harley as he reached out his hand to help the man up.

"Yes it was, but not to worry I'm okay," he grabbed Harley's hand and was lifted back up to his feet. "Are you new here in town. I've never seen you before?"

"I kind of am. I really don't know what happen to me. The last thing I remember was holding this thing called the Philosopher stone, and a giant door opened and I was sucked into it. I saw the weirdest things. Things I knew, things I never knew. It was just pouring into my mind, and I understood everything. After that, I woke up here in this world. I'm sorry this must sound like a really odd story, but it's all true."

"Oh no trust me I believe you. In fact I've heard of the Philosopher stone. I know some people who are searching for it. Maybe you can help them." Said the other man.

"Well that's good to know you don't think I'm crazy. By the way what's your name?" asked Harley.

"Oh I'm sorry, my name is Kain Fuery. Or better known as Master Sergeant Fuery. And who might you be?"

"I am Detective Harley Hartwell. It's a pleasure to meet you." The two men shook hands, and started picking up the laundry.

"I was wondering if you knew of a good hotel where I could stay the night?"

"Why bothering staying in a hotel, you can stay with me for as long as you want. Tomorrow I'll introduce you to the Full Metal Alchemist. Maybe he can help you get back to your world."

"Really? Thanks Kain!" said Harley as he handed Fuery the last of his laundry. Luckily the building they were at happen to be Fuery's apartment. They went up to the small living space. The room was a single bed and bath. It looked like it was going to be hard to fit two people in such a small place. But it had a cozy feeling to it.

"I hope you don't mind taking the couch."

"Oh no I'm fine with it!"

"So Harley what kind of world do you come from?"

Harley took a seat on the couch, and took a second to think of what he should tell Kain.

"Well in my world it's the year 2007. I live in a country called Japan in the city of Osaka. Everyone says we talk funny, but I could never tell. We have things called cell phones, I-pods, and porn."

"Wow those things sound amazing. How do they work?"

"Cell phones are used to make calls without being at home, and I-Pods store music, so you can listen to it when traveling. And porn…Well I'll explain that one later," said the embarrassed detective. "But what about your world? What do you guys have?"

"In our world a lot of people use alchemy. If you're good enough you can enlist and become a state alchemist."

"Wow your military is different from the military in my world."

"Oh what's it like there?"

The two new friends talked about they're different worlds the whole night, and into the wee hours of the morning. Before they knew it the sun was up and it was time for Fuery to go to work.

"Hey morning Fuery…you look tired." Said Havoc.

"Yea what did you do last night?" asked Breda.

"Or who did or didn't do last night." Mocked Havoc.

"Oh I'm sorry I was up all night with…Harley," yawned Kain.

"Wait did you say Hailey? No way Fuery you didn't. Did you?" asked Havoc.

"Huh?"

"Well… CONGRATULATIONS!!!" Shouted both Breda and Havoc. A banner popped up from the ceiling that said, 'Congratulations on FINALLY getting laid Fuery!'

A tired Kain looked up at the sign and was in a shock. It was then that Mustang walked into the office and noticed the banner was up.

"So, Fuery you finally became a man. I'm very proud of you. So tell me who was the cough luck lady cough?"

"It was Hailey." Smirked Havoc.

"Wait Hailey? NOT MY HAILEY! I thought she was at her aunt's house last night! She choose him over me?" Shouted Mustang.

"Wow you did something I could never do and that was get one of Mustangs girls, nice job man." Said Havoc.

"Now hold on a second I wasn't with anyone named Hailey last night I was with Harley last night."

"Oh, then…Congrates on coming out of the closet." Said all three men. Another banner came out from the ceiling saying what the other men had just stated.

"Okay now let me explain. I'm not a closet person, I like girls. In fact give me Hailey's number, and Harley is my new friend. We just stayed up all night talking."

"Oh that's it?" asked Mustang.

"Yes. In fact Harley needs to talk to Ed and Al are they here yet?"

"They're on their way here." Replied Mustang.

"Good cause Harley is waiting outside the office."

Harley sat outside the office doors, waiting for news from Kain about meeting the Full Metal Alchemist. He heard footsteps coming his way, and he looked up to see who was walking down the hallway. Upon looking up he saw a short teen, with long golden hair. Following close behind was a giant suit of armor. When the two bodies approached Harley, he couldn't believe who it was.

"It can't be. It's you…Edward Elric!"

"What, how do you know me?" asked the confused Alchemist.
