One of my sisters (Rei) had asked me if I planned any romance with Ayumi and Ed any time in the future. I of course, answered with a no, followed by laughing my head off. How would that work out? Ed and Ayumi doing mental snogging as Ed made her…uh…do stuff? (Wow, that's slightly disturbing) Haha, I might add that as a joke chapter sometime later on, mwahaha.

---

To stall for time as I planned what I would say to my sisters, I decided to take a shower. Ed started protesting loudly in my head as I reached my metal arm into the shower and twisted the head, turning on the water. "Look Ed, I can't not shower. I promise, I won't look down or anything, okay?"

Ed sighed and agreed, but started yelling in embarrassment when I pulled my shirt off. I laughed openly, undressing and jumping into the shower. Ed still continued to freak out until I yelled at him to shut up, which he did.

After a few seconds of just standing there as hot water poured on me, I got bored and started examining my automail again. I looked around the docking port and noticed dark scars around it that I never had before. "Cool, I got your scars too." I smiled at myself, looking down (Ed screamed again, this time louder) to prove my growing suspicions that I had all of his scars. And sure enough, a smooth but really dark scar was on my side from when Ed was cut by Number 43 in Lab 5. I touched it, grinning to myself as I looked up again. Ed shut up again, muttering to himself.

I ignored him, now comparing my flesh arm to automail one. I squealed to myself; my arm was less slender (and stick-like) and was now lean and muscular. I was getting aware that my skin color actually did change, which made me slightly disappointed. It was more like a darker golden brown, like a really deep tan. I shrugged as I ran my (metal) fingers through my wet hair, which turned out was completely thinner and silkier then my normal hair. I even had a little antenna!

I turned off the water and grabbed the blue towel handing on the rail outside the shower stall, wrapping it around myself and climbing out. "Finally." Ed muttered.

I rolled my eyes as I dried myself and got dress, wearing black shorts and a purple t-shirt. "Wouldn't it be better to wear longer sleeves and pants? So the automail won't be seen?" Ed suggested.

"Ed…it's the middle of July…" I whined as I started playing with my hair. I left it down, since I loved Ed's hair like that. "No, don't leave it like that, it makes me look like a girl!" Ed complained.

I laughed, wondering if I really was the less mature one of us both. "Ed, you are a girl."

"I AM NOT A GIRL!" Ed yelled as I winced at the noise, but still was giggling immaturely. "Just because I'm stuck inside a girl's body doesn't make me one! I'm still a guy!"

"Yeah, suuuure." I teased. Now I know why Roy annoyed Ed so much, it's fun! "Besides, you look like a girl to me." I pointed out, which was true. I looked exactly like him, but I still looked like me. How odd.

Ed growled out angrily as I laughed at him more, skipping out the door and heading downstairs. It was weird, because my feet made two different sounds on the floor; just like Izumi had said.

In the TV room, my sisters were awake and watching Hannah Montana, which made me cringe. Rei must've heard me coming, because she called out my name excitedly and told me to come over.

"Brace for it…" I told Ed as I walked into the room. I sat on the couch, waiting for them to freak out. Kiyoko saw me first. She stared at me, blinked twice and went back to the television with a shrug. How unfair! She could've reacted a little more! I turned into Edward frickin' Elric here!

Then Rei looked at me, her eyes widening in shock. "Woah! Ayumi, is that you?!"

I smiled slightly, about to talk and explain the whole situation when Rei cut in, "Wow, it's amazing! You really do look like Ed, just like you said! Great job!"

"Huh?" Ed asked. I just remembered something and chuckled sheepishly. "I forgot I told them I was working on an Ed cosplay…cosplay is like dressing up to pretend to be someone, I guess." I explained, sensing the mental faceplant Ed felt like doing. I turned back to Rei, who was still complimenting me.

"And wow! The automail looks so real too; what did you use for it? Oh em gee (yes, she said that. My sisters and I all use IM lingo in our speech), can you make my Hughes cosplay? Pleeeeeease?" Rei begged, her brown eyes sparkling excitedly. "Sure, she'll make it. I'll get the coffin." Kiyoko teased from where she sat, making me laugh and Rei whine in annoyance.

"This is…strange…" Ed said slowly. "Yup, I totally thought they'd freak out. I'm just gonna tell them, I don't like lying to them. Alright?" I asked, giving him a mental pout. He sighed. "Fine."

"Okay, you guys? Don't freak out –too much- but…the only reason why I look like this is because I turned into Edward Elric." I told them. Kiyoko gave me a funny look. "Okay, sure…whatever."

"Of course you did, Ed!" Rei added with a wink and a nudge at my side with her elbow. I was dumbstruck. They didn't believe me?! I thought I was perfectly clear- A ghost spirit thingy of what seemed to be an anime character but apparently wasn't possessed my body and…wait…that is kinda hard to believe. Crap.

"Oh come on, you guys think I'm lying?" I asked, still feeling shocked. Rei smiled as Kiyoko basically ignored my question. "I believe you, Ed." She said, adding emphasis to his name and gave me another wink and nudge. I groaned to myself. "Ed???" I whined out.

"Um…it was to be expected. Let me try?" Ed asked. I shrugged and let him get control, shuddering during the transfer. "Okay, don't be alarmed, but what Ayumi says is true." Ed said to them. Woah! Why the hell was he speaking in an accent for?? Did he always have it? Damn, it would sound so much sexier if it wasn't my voice he was speaking in. I thought with a sigh. That made me wonder what the voice actors were for, and sent me reeling into confusion again.

Rei blinked at me, raising one of her eyebrows at me. "Wh-ah the 'ell? Why ya talkin' loke th-aht?" She asked, copying his accent and started giggling to herself. I felt Ed twitch from anger and told him to relax.

"Yea, iz thee wee lassie touched in thee head?" Kiyoko asked in what I suspect to be an Irish accent. The both of then started cracking up as I started feeling angry too. It's not that fricking funny!

"Would you guys just fricking listen to me?!" Ed yelled out in frustration, making them laugh more. I tried hard not to laugh either; it sounded like he said 'thrinking' instead of 'fricking'. Plus the fast that it sounded like he had a lisp made me almost laugh, but didn't.

"Okay, Ayumi, I'm listening." Rei made out through her laughter. Ed folded my arms and frowned at them. "Hey, try transmuting something! That might make them believe you." I suggested. He nodded. "Okay, I'm going to use my alchemy on my automail –which yes, is real- will that make you believe me?"

"Whatever." Kiyoko replied simply, shrugging. Ed sighed, closing his eyes. I was still wondering why he did that, probably to concentrate on alchemy in this side of the Gate? The calculations and junk popped up, this time more of them appeared and formed a picture of a transmutation circle in his mind. He lifted my hands and clapped them, then swept my flesh hand over my automail. The little white sparks crackled through it in currents as it started lengthening into a blade. Rei was staring wide eyed and gasped. Kiyoko watched interestingly but didn't respond further then that. Ed finished the transmutation quickly and held out the automail for them to see better. "Do you believe us now?"

"Wow, Ayumi! You learned how to do alchemy!!!" Rei shouted excitedly, making me to a mental faceplant. "Hey, Ayumi, since you can do alchemy, transmute me some chicken nuggets. I'll get the cat." Kiyoko joked, making Rei whine again, then laugh. Ed groaned and sat back down, untransmuting the automail before burying his…gah, my face with my hands. "You guys are impossible." He muttered.

Rei looked at us curiously and walked over, bending in front of my face. Ed uncovered my hands and stared at her. Her face was like, inches away from mine. She poked my antenna before pulling hard on it. "Ow! What was that for?!" He yelped, pushing her hand away. What sucks is that we both felt the pain, which made me wanna smack her for doing it, even if I didn't have control.

She shrugged, grabbing a tuft of my let down hair and tugged hard on it. "Stop that!" Ed snapped as he pushed her away. She stuck out her tongue, sticking her face close to mine again, this time staring at my eyes. I was wondering what the hell she was doing, until she stuck up two fingers and poked them into my eyes. "Gah!" Ed yelled, covering his eyes in pain. "Damn you, Rei!" I yelled from inside my head. "Ed, give me back my body!"

Ed sighed and started the transfer. As soon as I felt I could move, I whacked Rei on the back of her head with my flesh hand and stood up. "That hurt, you idiot!"

"Hey, your accent's gone." Kiyoko pointed out, finally turning from the television. I sighed out. "No fricking duh, apparently only Ed has the accent."

"What's that supposed to mean?!" Ed demanded. I ignored him, watching Rei bounce around me, staring at me. "Okay, Ayumi, we believe you, now take off the cosplay." She sang out.

"It's not cosplay!" I shot back, glaring at her. "Okay, fiiiine, I'll help you." She grabbed my arm and started pulling from the docking port before I could react. Seconds later, my arm came off. Kiyoko did a double take. "Woah!" She exclaimed.

"Wow…my arm was ripped off…" I muttered in disbelief. "…yup." Ed replied.

Rei, on the other hand, was staring in horror at my automail that she was still holding. She looked at me, then back at the automail, then screamed loudly, throwing my arm onto her couch. She started reacting the same way she did if she saw a bee: ran around in circles flailing her arms and screaming on the top of her lungs. I watched her, wondering if I should be angry or shocked that my arm came clean off, and that I was standing there armless. It sure did feel weird enough.

Kiyoko stood up calmly, walking over to where my arm lay and picked it up. She looked at it interestingly before taking it by the hand and swinging it around, whacking Rei in the head. She fell over, rolling around on the floor and yelling in pain while clutching her head. I stared at Kiyoko, who handed me back my arm and smiled.

"She hit her…with your arm…" Ed said slowly. I nodded. "Yup…" I looked down at my arm, wondering about reattaching it. "I've always wanted to do this to see what it felt like…should I try it?"

"You're gonna have to. Just do it quick and brace yourself." Ed sighed. I nodded and lined up the automail to its port and slid it in. It made a kinda banging sound when it came in and really intense pain shot through my body. I only just bit off my scream, falling to my knees. Rei and Kiyoko stared at me as I clutched the port, trembling in pain. "Rei…you…idiot!" I hissed before passing out.

-

I woke up in the weirdest way. I was still in pain, but it died down, somewhat. That's not what was weird though. I opened my eyes and saw these sticky blobs on my arms and face. Ribbons from balloons were stuck to them and trailed off to who knew where. I turned, seeing I was still on the floor (the brats couldn't get me off it??). Rei was sitting next to me, feverishly typing on a make believe computer, which was really my baby sister's. It kept mooing and meowing when she typed stuff in, making me stare at her. "Uh…"

Rei looked at me and grinned evilly. "It's alive! IT'S ALIVE!!!" She threw her head back and cackled, and the lights flickered. I noticed Kiyoko at the light switch, pulling it up and down and wondered why I was born to such a weird family. Rei patted my head. "Okay Ayumi, give 'Ed' control, I wanna ask him something."

I blinked. Ed seemed to be aware of what was happening, because he sighed for the umpteenth time and transferred control. He sat up and tugged the blobs (which turned out to be clay) and tossed them over his shoulder.

"Okay, Ed…answer this…" Rei started with an evil grin. Ed nodded. "If you're Ed, why do you have boobs?! Only Ayumi would have that bust!" Rei exclaimed, pointing to my chest. Ed made my face turn completely red as I laughed madly from inside my head. "What kinda question is that?!" He yelled, my voice sounding all flustered in its accent…heh.

"Speaking in an accent again, I see." Rei muttered, pretending to jot down something down. "And your automail appears to be real and functioning…at least…your arm does." She trailed off, peering suspiciously at my leg.

"Don't you dare rip that off, you know how much that hurts?!" I screamed, even if she couldn't hear me. Ed grabbed her wrist and held it tight, giving her a death-glare as she stared at him, shocked. "Stop it. You need to know when to quit." He told her firmly, before letting her go. She stared at him, looking about to cry and making Ed nervous when she suddenly blushed. "Oh em gee, Edo-kun! That was so cool!!!" She squealed loudly.

"Don't call me that…" Ed muttered as I yelled at her to stay away from my man. "Your man?" Ed questioned. "Um…remember that I'm your fangirl…" I replied sheepishly. I sighed. Just when I thought it couldn't get worse, my arm gets ripped off. What else can go wrong?

"Kids, we're home!" My mom called from the foyer.

Of course they come now. Crap!

That's my fav chapter so far. They ripped off her arm! –cracks up-

By the way, the cat/chicken nugget thing is an inside joke in my family. I'll tell it later, I don't feel like grossing people out right now.

Please review!
