A/N: Is this chapter short or long? I can't tell on my iPod.

Okay is there a picture of a red-headed girl as the cover for this story? Cause if there is that's not supposed to be there.

I noticed that I got some views on my other story. ¡PLEASE DO NOT READ MY OTHER STORY! It desperately needs to be rewritten. I actually cringed when I read one of the chapters.

Disclaimer: Now that I think about it, all this stuff is real so what do I own? My own character I guess?


Ed's POV

I took out a pencil as a quiz was placed on my desk and looked at the first question.

How do you find density?

A. Volume/mass

B. Volume-mass

C. Mass/Volume

D. Mass x Volume

Are you kidding me? This was way too easy. I blew through all the questions until I came to one question in particular.

When you type on a keyboard, the computer recognizes the key codes and the letters you typed appear on the screen. Which part of this system is the process?[1]

A. Typing on the keyboard

B. The letters appearing on the screen

C. The computer recognizing the key codes

D. Backspacing because the incorrect letters appeared.

What? What was a computer? I have no idea what any of this even means. I knew that with systems, the action in the middle is usually the process, so I just chose letter C and hoped for the best.

Everyone soon finished a little bit after me, then we went on to do a 'lab' about density. I got put in a group with two girls named Alisha and Madison, and a boy named William. By the end of the lab, I had orange food coloring all over my hands. Alisha nearly stabbed a kid in the next group over after he was goofing off and spilt food coloring all over her. Luckily she was wearing an apron, but she was still pissed cause it got on her shoes.

On the other side of the room, those three girls from before where looking at me and whispering. I stared back at them and they quickly turned around.

We all packed up our things and Savannah came skipping over. She reached into my backpack and pulled out my schedule. "We have Mrs. Adams together for language arts, you'll love her. She's kinda weird, but she's cool."

The bell rang and we plunged back into the bedlam in the hallway. While we walked along suddenly someone came up a little too close behind me. I turned and saw a girl with the hood of her jacket shielding her face. She quietly said: "Fullmetal."

My eyes widened. She knew me. How did she know who I was? I tried to see if I recognized her; she looked like one of those three girls from before.

"When people ask where you're from, say Germany, and that Amestris is the town you're from," she whispered, then plunged back into the multitude.

Was she trying to help me? Something told me she was.

Of course she is.

That voice again. It could only be-

I was pulled into a classroom, and was blinded for a few seconds. The linoleum floors seemed much shinier than anywhere else I've been, and the white walls were covered in colorful posters about all the different students. The blinds on the back windows were wide open, showing a bright blue sky and large green field that seemed to stretch on for miles.(A/N: That's right people, my school's in the middle of a giant farm. DEAL WITH IT.)

I sat down in a random spot in the back of the class, and a kid with dark brown skin came over and sat in the desk next to me. He pointed at me.

"So, like, you're supposed to be Edward Elric. Like from the anime?"

"What's anime?"

He got a look of hard concentration. "I see." He moved his hand through the air. "So, I understand that you're pretending to be Edward? An interesting physiological discovery. Did you have a rough childhood?"

"Shane,". A girl who looked Xingnese came up to us. "Stop asking the new kid your stupid psychology questions."

"It is not stupid! It is scientific research!" Shane replied.

"Oh, shut it, Shane." A girl with a headband and her hair in a ponytail sat on the desk behind me. I recognized her as one of the three girls from science. "My name's Nicole. Pleasure to meet your acquaintance, shortie."

"WHO YOU CALLING SO SHORT HE CAN'T EVEN REACH THE DESK CAUSE IT'S TOO TALL?!"

She laughed, then pulled a folded piece of paper out of her back pocket. She unfolded it and checked off something near the top. I heard her say quietly: "Call Ed short, check. Only 234 left to go."

The Xingnese girl from before had left, and suddenly Nicole leaned in and whispered, "We can help get you back to Amestris."

I gasped and was about to ask them a billion questions when the bell rang and they darted back to their desks.

"Good morning, stu-dents," Mrs. Adams walked into class, high heels clicking on the floor. "It seems that there is another student joining us today." she motioned toward me. All the kids turned and looked at me. Most of them weren't in my last class. Was there new kids every period?

"I had your brother last period. He's such a sweet kid."

Al. So he was here. Even thought part of me wanted him to be home safe and sound, another part of me was glad, because I wasn't alone.

Mrs. Adams gave the rest of the students some busy work while she gave me a bunch of forms that needed to be signed. By my parents.

An issue has just been formed.

"Alright, cool. So," she clapped her hands and sat down at her desk. "What school are you coming from?"

What school? Did the one-room school house in Resembool count? I didn't even think it had a name.

"Resembool Private School," I said after hesitating a moment.

"And that is..." she looked at me for an answer.

I remembered my encounter in the hallway. The next thing I knew I blurted out, "Germany."

"Aye, Shane, you got a friend!" Someone shouted out and everyone laughed. Shane yelled at everyone to shush.

Some girl then yelled, "You suck as the shusher, Shane! Mrs. Adams he should be fired!"

"I thought you said you were from Amestris?" some brunette girl asked.

"It's a town in Germany." Everyone got a look of satisfaction on their face when some boy with spiky black hair and one of his ears pierced said,"Speak in German!"

No. No way. I didn't even know what he was talking about! So much for that Germany thing helping.

"Nah, we gotta move on," said Mrs. Adams. I sank down into my chair. We silently read the story 'Rikki-Tikki-Tavi' and then answered a few questions about the text. The class passed by fast and soon the bell rang and we were out the door.

As we rushed down the hallway, I realized that there was a map on the back of my schedule. We were heading to gym. It seemed pretty far away, and we only had four minutes to get to class. I looked up to ask Savannah if we would get there in time, but she was gone.

I didn't know what happened if we were late to class, so I followed the map until I came to a large building next to the main school building. I walked inside and there was a large basketball court with red bleachers on the sides. Up on the ceiling was rows of flood lights.

Everyone was sitting on the floor in neat lines. This class was huge. There had to be at least one hundred kids from 6th to 8th grade. I asked a nearby lady who I was pretty sure was the teacher what I was supposed to do and she greeted me, not bothering with my name. Then she reached into a cardboard box behind her and pulled out some clothes with a sticky note on it. "Here's the gym clothes you pre-ordered," she said cheerfully, then told me to sit down behind some random kid.

I pre-ordered clothes? When did I do that? Last time I checked, I was pretty sure I didn't even have any money. After some old guy told us a bunch of crap I didn't bother listening to, he yelled: "Hit the lockers!"

Everyone slung their backpacks on their shoulders and ran towards two green doors. Lost in the the confusion, I got pushed in a crowd full of girls.

"Aye! What are you doing here?"

"Perv!"

"Get out of the girls locker room!"

Suddenly I was pushes out and across the gym to the other door, the boys locker room.


Um 3rd person POV?

Ed was hit with a horrible stench as he walked in the grey and green locker room. A mixture of sweat and cologne wafted through the air. He walked over to a bench and changed into the black shorts and grey shirt with a tiger on it.

All the boys were putting their stuff in lockers. Ed found a locker with no lock and just put his bag in there. The old bald coach from before came in and clapped his hands. "Alright, gentlemen, let's go, let's go!" We all jogged out of the locker room out the back door.

It was hot and humid outside as everyone ran five laps around the track. Ed ran along at a moderate pace, staring at the three people in front of him. The girl in the middle had long blond hair pulled up in a high ponytail. She turned around for a split second and Ed saw a flash of blue.

'No way...' Ed ran forward, catching up to them.

"Winry! Hey! Winry!" As Ed reached them the girl turned around and he stopped in his tracks.

This girl's face was shaped differently, and she had freckles. And her eyes weren't as bright. It wasn't Winry.

"S-Sorry. I thought you were someone else," Ed stuttered. The girl just shrugged a little.

"Hey! Winnie! Come on!" The girl's friends called after her and she chased after them.

Ed stood in the middle of the track as people ran around him. 'Dammit.'

Suddenly he heard, "Brother!"
