WHEE, UPDATE! That notebook was so damn useful! Now I can write without being on the computer which means yes, faster updates! I already finished the chapter after this one, wai! X3 But my handwriting's so hard to read! x.x
Okay, quick answers to questions. Ah, why are Ayumi's parents too accepting about her being possessed? Cuz her parents are weird! XD Nah, it's just because I based Ayumi's parents on mine, so when I asked them for their reactions, they basically just stared and kept asking questions. n.n; And my dad kinda avoided me for the rest of the day...
And yeah, Ayumi does swimming every Wednesday because the summer is hot in New York (where we live), and our moms just want us to swim every week. X3
Okay, let's start! Yatta!

'Dance, water, dance!'
I'm starting to get annoyed waking up to Kingdom Hearts 2. My sisters always play it way too damn loud! But when I tried to open my eyes, guess what? Ed was freaking using my body again. And he was playing Kingdom Hearts. In my body. Mine! Damn him!
"Ed...ward..." I growled slowly. "Morning!" He replied cheerfully. In the game, Sora ran out of time trying to get rid of all Demyx's water clones and died. Ed cursed loudly. "Those liars! They said Demyx sucks at fighting! This is the 10th time I've lost!"
I swear, I'm going to kill him. I'll find a way to get him out of my head and kill him in the most violent way possible. And being a psychopath, that's very violent. "Ed, what did I tell you before about using my body while I sleep?!"
'Dance, water, dance!" Demyx yelled out from the game. Ed automatically started jabbing the blue X button while chanting 'x, x ,x, triangle, x, x, triangle...' in his/my head. How annoying!
"You're not listening to me!!" I shouted. "Go into Drive, Sora!" Ed yelled excitedly as Sora transformed into his wisdom form. "I'm sorry, what?"
"You promised me you wouldn't use my body!" I said angrily. Ed smirked in a very Ed way. "You said not to use your body to go on the computer. You said nothing about using your body for video games."
I would've strangled him if I had hands to...uh...use...? "Ed...let's try this one more time. Turn off the fricking game and get my ass into my bed!...uh...couch..." I added after noticing the unused blankets on the couch near the television.
"Awww, can't I at least finish the battle?" Ed whined childishly. And I actually thought he was mature.
"No." I sighed.
"Can I at least save? I didn't get to-"
"Ed..." I started warningly. Ed sighed in disappointment and defeat, setting down the black PlayStation 2 controller. "Fine." He whined, turning off the television. "If I lose that talking duck's new wand thingy, I'm blaming you."
"Yeah, yeah." I muttered. Ed got off from sitting on the floor in front of the television and literally hopped on one foot to the couch, which he bounced on for a couple of times.
"Are you high?" I asked simply. Ed just laughed, tossing the couch pillows to the floor and lying down. "Remember, no video games." I reminded him. "Yup." He closed my eyes. Satisfied with the slightly red-tinged darkness, I went back to sleep.

'Existing in this place now are uncleanable lies, I wonder when it has begun...how far do I have to go to see the light?'
Someone was playing Xepher on DDR SuperNOVA. Loudly. Damn them. They woke me up. And it's my game in the first place! Wait...I'm playing!?
Oh...heeeeeeeell no. I groaned. He was using my body again! And even worse, he was using my body to absolutely SUCK at DDR!
"Edward Elric!" I shouted threateningly. Ed stomped my foot on the Start button, yelling a word out that I didn't understand, but assumed that it was an Amestrian curse word. The song failed, and Rei, who was playing against him cheered. "Yay! I win again!"
"The score's 23 to nothing!" Kiyoko announced from where she sat on one of the couches.
"What the hell, Ed!? I told you to stop using my body! And you're ruining my reputation as an expert DDR-er!"
Ed just said the word again, this time under his breath. It sounded something like 'Bosen' or something.
"Dammit, Ed! Listen to me next time!" I yelled in frustration.
"Ich mun neint oct sou humer." Ed mumbled in Amestrian. Dammit! That's cheating!
"Sou renflunchar brenon mosar, sou dynn!" I replied angrily. I stopped, completely shocked. Ed dreoze, blinking twice. "What the?!" He said, at the same time I said "Huh?!"
"What's wrong, Ed-chan?" Rei asked curiously, tilting her head like a cat. "Don't call me that, I'm not a girl!" Ed yelled back distractedly. Rei giggled.
"Did I just speak Amestrian?" I asked excitedly. Ed sighed. "Yes. And I'm not a dyke." I giggled immaturely. "Bet you don't even know what that means." He added.
"I do too." I countered quickly. It wasn't necessarily a lie...just not the whole truth. Ed probably sensed that though.
"Yeah, right. And I thought you didn't know Amestrian." Ed replied gruffly.
"I don't! It doesn't even exist in this world!" I whined. "This is just like in Harry Potter...! He couldn't speak Parselmouth unless he was with snakes! Maybe I can only speak Amestrian when I'm talking to you!" I suggested.
"Who the hell is Harry Potter?" Ed blinked again. "Don't ya'll have books in Amestres?!" I yelled.
"Shut up!" He snapped. I rolled my eyes, or tried to but I still didn't have control.
"Does this mean I'm turning more like you?" I wondered slowly. I suddenly gasped. I'd been thinking about that website and the list of Amestrian words. I had been seeing them through Ed's eyes, and he probably might not know all the things I knew. Maybe it was English in some weird text or something!
"Ed, go on the computer. Now!" I quickly ordered. He blinked in response. "Why?"
"I just thought of something. Just go!"
He nodded. Carefully stepping off te multicolored DDR mat, he turned and ran through the kitchen and towards the stairs. "Where ya going, Ed-chan?" Rei called after him. Ed chose to ignore her (meaning he went back and ranted that he wasn't a girl, wasting about 15 minutes of valuable time), and went up the staircase 3 at a time. He plopped down on the black spinny chair and turned on the computer screen. I blinked at the 3 Internet Explorer windows already opened up. One of them was my MySpace.
"The hell are you doing on my MySpace?!" I yelled. Ed ignored me, damn him. "I heard that." He pointed out. "We made a deal! Stay out of my mind!"
He shrugged my shoulders and clicked one of the closed windows. 'The Secret to Full Metal Alchemist' popped up. "How'd you...I said stay out of my mind!" I sighed, looking at the site as he scrolled it down.
"There! Click on the 3rd link on the bottom." I instructed. He clicked it, and at the same list of two columns of writing popped onto the screen. But there was a difference this time. At the top of the list, Ed's name in red font shown through in the first column, and my name on the opposite one.
"Wha?" Ed blinked. "Woah, wasn't expecting that." I muttered. "It's almost like Zatch Bell in a way...just...names instead of spells?"
"What are you talking about?" Ed asked, raising an eyebrow.
"You're deprived!" I replied. "Anyway, why does it say our names? And why now?"
"I dunno. Maybe it had something to do with that transmutation circle." Ed guessed. "Dammit. This has her written all over it." He growled angrily.
"Who?" I asked.
"It's nothing." He said distractedly. I sighed in annoyance. "Fine. Whatever. Look, our names are underlined...it looks line a link! Click it!"
Ed clicked it. The screen turned blood red, which made Ed wince slightly. I was fine with it of course, blood red was one of my favorite colors. Because I'm just that psychotic. The mark of the flamel popped up in black on the top of the screen. To me, it looked like it was drawn in black blood. Because again, I'm just that psychotic. Under the snake's head on the left side was Ed's full name written in black script, and on the right side was my name in the same font. "Creepy."
"Only the way you're looking at it. Look at this." He pointed below the header. I looked. It was a large picture with a plain black background. There was a picture of Ed and me before transforming standing besides each other, with the same exact angry looking expression. We both lifted our hands at the same time and clapped them, turning to slap them against each other's hands. There was a flash of blue light, like how alchemic energy is shown in the anime. A glowing red transmutation circle appeared in the background, the same one as before, and we banished. Then the picture started over again from the beginning.
"That...is one of the creepiest pictures I've ever seen." I commented dully. It made it even more creepy since I never show my picture online. So how the hell did this guy get it?!
Ed scrolled down, being completely silent about the picture. Under it was what looked like a blog, but...
I glanced at the last post, which had the date 'July 12th' on it. 3 days ago, to be exact. Underneath it said: Today, Ayumi almost died. In fact, she was so close to death, her mind and soul was sent to the same suspended state between life and death as Edward's and the other's had been in all these years. It's suspected that the encounter might jog their memory. They might find out what happened in Amestres all those years ago soon.
"Ed...how'd they know about..." I trailed off, staring at the second sentence. I was 'between life and death' just as Ed had thought.
"What do you think, Ayumi?" Ed replied simply. I growled, I hated getting my questions answered with more questions. "Try refreshing the page." I said suddenly. Ed blinked but jabbed an automail finger at the F5 key. The page refreshed and my suspicions were confirmed. Under today's date was a new passage: They've found out their section of the site. No doubt they've figured out a lot more. Hopefully, they'll be able to uncover the secret before it's too late.
"The secret?" I questioned with a little mental frown. Ed echoed my expression and frowned at the screen. "Ed, what does this mean?"
"I dunno..." Ed sighed in frustration. "But what I do know is...they're watching us."

And cut! Mwahahaha! Ya know, all those italics are hard to type when your being rushed...x.x;
Almost forgot! I should translate the Amestrian Ayumi and Ed were speaking before, so ya'll won't be confused anymore. Basically, the curse word Ed was saying means...the...uh…F word, which I won't say so I won't offend. Ich mun neint oct sou humer means 'I don't have to listen to you' and Sou renflunchar brenon mosar, sou dynn! Means 'You damn well have to listen, you dyke!' And trust me, you won't find this anywhere else, so far it seems like Im the only one trying to invent Amestrian, since I'm that obsessed. n.n;
Please review! Next chapter will hopefully be soon if my mom would stop forcing me to do chores to finish the ending! x.x;;;
