FMA: Alternate Realities
Needles to say, Gwen had a really awkward time in the shower. Now being changed into some pajamas as she headed back downstairs to meet with the rest of the family for dinner.
"We were about to start without you."
This was Allison talking, watching as Gwen took her seat at the table.
"Sorry."
"Sweetheart, do you feel any better now?"
Gwen blinked, looking over to her mother as she started setting out their plates for them. Getting their dinner together.
"Um...yea actually. I do feel better. Thanks...mom."
It felt strange to say that word. Sitting there quietly as she sorta looked around at everything. It was just like home, but it wasn't home. This wasn't even her life at all. Gwen looked over to Allison, the obvious younger sister which was oddly enough still a couple inches taller. Sigh. Gwen looked over to her mother now, watching every slight moment which brought back some pretty awful memories.
"Eat dear."
Her mother reminded, smiling sweetly as Gwen nodded and did as told.
"WHAT?!"
Edward had really started to freak out at this point. Not even caring that he was still in the medical unit of Central's base.
"You mean I'm some half metal freak of nature?! And you...you're!!"
Reaching up as he ripped Al''s head right off only to see nothing.
"Waaah! You're hallow?!"
"Brother please! You need to calm down or they'll hear you and find out something is wrong!"
Alphonse would now try to get his head back from his brother. Edward was now sitting up in bed, clutching it like a pillow tightly. He was simply horrfied. By now, it was too late to keep Edward quiet as the door swung open.
"Is it really possible for something so small to make so much damn noise?!"
It would be none other then everyone's favorite Colonel. Now looking to Edward in anticipation of his usual -don't-call-me-short- outburst.
"Huh?"
Edward blinked. Alphone would finally snatch his head back from his arms.
"Uh...alright."
"Brother isn't feeling well Colonel, that's all."
"By the sounds of it, he seems to be doing fine."
Edward sat there, looking at the Colonel oddly.
"Roy?"
"You're boyfriend called while you where in the shower."
Alisson giggled.
"I told him you where naked, and he said he would be right over."
Gwen nearly choked on her food as she had to try and cough it back up before turning blue.
"What?! Boyfriend?!"
"Um...Roy?"
"ROY?!"
"Yea. Y'know the guy you've been dating for like a year now."
"A...year?"
"What's wrong with him?"
The Colonel stood there, his arms crossed over him as Edward was awkwardly hugging him.
"Uh...like I said, Colonel. He isn't feeling very well."
Alphonse said. Trying to make a good excuse for his brother's strange actions.
After dinner, Gwen had offered to wash up the dishes. Allison, being the nice younger sister she was, would help her. Gwen twitched, as the both of them stood side by side as she had to tilt her head up a bit to look at her.
"Hey uh...Al."
'heh' "So I'm Al now? Not Ally?"
"Alley. Right. Um...can I ask you something."
"Sure. Somethin wrong?"
Gwen blinked, now paying attention as the hot water started to burn her hand a bit. Also a weird sensation she was unfamiliar with.
"Since when did you get taller then me huh?"
"What?"
"Well, I thought I was the older sister. So why are you taller then me?"
"You're only a year older, and besides I only out grew you back in grade school. I've always been taller then you."
"WHAT?!"
"You just noticed that?"
"I've ALWAYS been short?!"
Allison just looked at her funny, arching a thin brow and started to laugh. Suddenly the two girls would look as the door bell sounded. Now hearing their mother talking to someone.
"Is dad home or something?"
Gwen asked. Then seeing the look on Allison face which stated overwise.
"Why would you even say that...?"
"Huh?"
"You know what happened to mom and dad! So why would you bring it up?!"
Allison threw down the wash cloth as it splashed into the soapy water. Gwen stood there as she watched her younger sister runf off, almost running into someone as she raced up the stairs.
"Did I come at a bad time...?"
That's when it hit. Gwen nearly fell onto the floor once she realized who he was.
"Oh god. Why are you here?!"
"Why am I here? You're mom invited me in."
'heh' "Great."
There was doubt that everyone had a double on either side of the infamous gate. What made things worse was that this double was almost an exact copy. Making things a lot more disgusting as he walked over to her and slipped his arms around her waist.
"Uh...what are you um...doing?"
"I don't mind you in your pajams, I think it's cute."
"Gah! Cute?!"
She had to keep in mind that this was not who she was thinking about. It was just a little too hard to get past that by the similar resemblence.
Sorry again, for taking so long to update. -sigh- Enjoy it. My uh...what...4 readers? Nice. Love ya.
