A/N: Sorry that this is a few days late from the regular updating window. I had exams last week, and didn't get to finish this chapter before Friday. Then I had a sleepover during the weekend.

OMG YESTERDAY ON THE RADIO THEY WERE PLAYING MUSIC FROM FMAB AND I WAS LIKE LE GASP IT WAS FROM THE PART WHERE (SPOILER! SPOILER! SPOILER!)

Alsooooooo during my friend's party we were at the mall, went to the anime store.

And there it was.

EDWARD ELRIC'S COAT.

It was totally worth 70 dollars.

Disclaimer: I FIGURED IT OUT I OWN THIS PLOT LINE AND SAVANNAH AND A FEW OTHER PEEPS BUT NOT FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST OR MY SCHOOL I GOT IT.


3rd person POV

Ed turned and looked at his brother. Al stood before him in his human body. His blond hair was trimmed in a sloppy way, and he was rather pale and thin, but he was here.

"Al-Alphonse?" Ed stuttered out.

"Brother!" Al said cheerfully. Ed ran over and hugged his brother tightly. (A/N: Ugh SO OOCCCCCCCCCC BLAAAAH)

"You're here! And you have your body back! I just can't believe this!" Ed cried. (A/N: OOC GOD DAMMIT)

"Me too," Al replied with a smile. They began walking slowly around the track, preferring that option over playing baseball with a bunch of sports-fanatics.

"How do you think we got here?" Al asked, looking up at the pure blue sky.

"I don't know," Ed responded. "I can't remember anything no matter how hard I concentrate. There's just a flash then, nothing."

"I guess we're trapped in the future until we figure out what's going on." Al sighed.

Ed stopped and stared at Al. "Hey, Al. Have you been hearing, a voice, in your head?"

"Um, no. Why?"

Ed looked away. "I'll tell you later. Right now we need to figure out the something more important."

"What's that?"

"Equivalent exchange. We got sent here with our bodies back. So the question is: What did we sacrifice?"


Nicole's POV

I finished the last question on my worksheet about CPR and leaned back. My friends and I had nearly had a heart attack when we discovered that Edward Elric was here for some reason, most likely the result of some twisted fanfiction.

But no matter. I suppose the real problem is the fact that we told him we could get him back to Amestris, even thought we have no clue how. The fanfictions about Ed being sent here were never finished, never saying how Ed got home.

Creativity would be the answer. But what about the Don't hug me I'm scared video? Looks like Ed's is on his own about finding a way to get back.

But my friends and I made a commitment to help in every way we can. I also heard from my friend Gorden that he thinks Al is here too.

We all agreed to keep this on the down-low. It was difficult for Natasha, a Resembool Rangers fan, but we got her to agree with us and not glomp Ed until further notice.

Mrs. Hannigan called us all for lunch, and I grabbed my lunch box, my head full of ideas to tell my friends in the girls bathroom.


3rd person POV

Hidden behind some large oak trees, Al watched as Ed clapped his hands. "Let's see if our alchemy still works." Ed felt energy course through him, then slammed his hands down on the ground, about to make a life-size statue of himself in all his glory.

Nothing. Not even a spark.

"What the hell..." Ed mumbled and tried again, still nothing. He repeated it over and over and over again until staring at the sky and screaming "What the hell!" He gathered up dirt in his hands. "Dammit, why doesn't our alchemy work!? Al, you try."

Al nodded and cleared out a space in the grass. Then he jumped up and snapped a twig off of the low branch of the tree and drew a simple transmutation circle in the dirt. He clapped his hands and touched the transmutation circle.

Nothing. "Mine's not working either."

"Gentlemen! Stop slacking off and get to work!" The gym coach spotted them and Ed scratched out the transmutation circle with his foot and rushed out from behind the trees.

"What do we do know?" Al asked. Ed spotted a tennis court about forty feet away with only six people playing on it.

"Lets go over there." They passed through the tall hot metal gate and grabbed rackets and a ball.

They hit it back and forth over the net until two girls next to them walked over.

"Hey, wanna play tennis with us?" A girl with wavy blond hair asked.

"Sure." Ed was getting bored of just playing with Al. He would much rather spar, but he guessed that after today's chain of events he would get in trouble for that.

Ed was put on the team with a tall girl with dark brown curly hair. She seemed very athletic and in a few minutes his side was winning by eight points.

"So," the girl I was playing with hit the ball over the fence, and Al went chasing after it. "You're the new kid, Ed, right?" She wiped the sweat off her forehead.

"Yeah," I replied as we took position again

"So, do you have any idea how to get back to Amestris yet? I'm sure the Homunculi are looking for you," she said nonchalantly.

I gaped at her, to dumbfounded to notice the blond girl serve the ball right at me.


Ed's POV

Today marks the very first time I got drilled in the face by a fuzzy, neon ball.

I walked cautiously down the hallway, my vision half-way blocked by the handful of tissues stuffed up my bloody nose. Coach O'Deally didn't think it was broken, but she sent me to 'the nurse' anyway.

I had no idea what the nurse was. I guess it was like a mini hospital to take care of you? Schools back in Amestris didn't have a nurse. But then again, with 1200 kids in one place, the endless list of things that could go wrong in the human body, and dangerous classes like gym, the reason for a nurse nowadays is obvious.

I walked into the front office, then was directed through another doorway. The room I walked into was like a mini doctor's office. It had chairs up against the wall, a fridge, a big medical cabinet, two desks in the corner and two cots.

There were two nurses in white lab coats. Four kids were sitting in the chairs and I sat down next to them. A girl holding a bandage to her eye gave me a slip of paper.

"You have to fill that out," she told me. The paper had a list of common maladies and an 'other' box. I checked 'nose bleed' and waited.

"And what happened, sweetie?" I looked up at one of the nurses who had wheeled her chair over in front of me.

"Gym," I replied. She chuckled and then tilted my head forward.

"You're parents must do things old school if you were taught to tilt your head back with a nosebleed."

You're not supposed to? But tilting your head back slowed the blood flow. I've never heard of putting your head forward, even the nurses at the hospital in Amestris told me to put it back.

The nurse took my blood pressure and then told me my nose wasn't broken. While she was getting some ice out of the fridge, the other nurse pulled back one of the curtains revealing a girl curled up in a ball on one of the cots who was extremely pale. She was shivering but I could see her sweating. What happened to her?

The nurse taking care of me wrapped a bag of ice in a paper towel and handed it to me.

"Hm, you don't seem to be bruising as bad as you should be, aye, tough guy? You play football?"

"No, I spar with my brother a lot, though."

Silence. She gave me a weird look and then gave me a pass back to class.


I just waited around for the remaining time of gym. This class was defiantly longer then the other ones.

Suddenly my stomach growled painfully. Did I even have breakfast this morning? I clutched it and hoped lunch would come soon.

Suddenly, one of the coaches blew a whistle and everyone dropped what they were doing and ran as fast as they could toward the gym.

I spotted one of the girls I was playing tennis with and ran up next to her. "Hey, girl, wh-"

"Jonelle is my name."

"Well, Jonelle, why is everyone running?"

"You want to get a good lunch, don't you?"

What? If you didn't get there first, you didn't get any food? My stomach growled again. No way. I ran as fast as I could towards the locker rooms, after passing through there for a brief moment, we all began walking along a narrow sidewalk along the side of the school. We passed by a bunch of small, white, rectangular structures with metal ramps leading up to brown doors.

After walking in the sea of grey for a few minutes, I passed under a pavilion and then we were herded around the back of the school and through a set of heavy metal doors.

We came into a freezing cold room, with a high pointed ceiling and a dozen rows of long beige tables separated into three sections.

The first three rows were reserved for the gym class, and I quickly sat down in a random spot. I smelled something cooking. I figured it was chicken, and something else I couldn't recognize. Suddenly, Savannah sat down next to me, along with a bunch of her friends. "What, I didn't know you were in this class," I told her.

"I was looking for you, but I couldn't find you. Ah well, at least it's lunch!" She opened her pink lunchbox and took a bite out of her sandwich.

A guy on stage grabbed the microphone and announced, "Acreage Pines shirts, school lunch and a lá carte. Acreage Pines shirts, school lunch and a lá carte."

The entire gym class jumped up and darted for the back of the cafeteria.

"Hey, Edo. Aren't you gonna get lunch?" Savannah asked, wiping some ranch dressing off the corners of her mouth.

"Uh, I forgot my money."

"Argh, that sucks on your first day. Here, I'll let you borrow some, but just pay me back on Monday, kay?"

"Sure," She handed me a green bill with a five on it.

"Here's five bucks, you can buy a chicken basket in the a lá carte line and a soda or whatever."

So their system of money was bucks? That is a really weird name. But I guess they probably think cenz is a weird name to. I walked to the lunch line and got in the long line. This wasn't much different then the cafeteria at HQ. I'd only gotten lunch there a few times, 'cause the food was disgusting.

Finally, I got up to the front of the line. I watched the other kids order their food and strained to here what they were saying.

"...an ice cream bar and a soda." the kid in front of me dug through his pocket and pulled out some money.

"Can you be specific?" the lady running the cash register said rather rudely.

"Sor-ry. Just give me a coke and an ice cream sandwich." He held out a white card everyone had on lanyards around their neck. Did I need one of those to buy lunch?

The lady scoffed, held up a grey thing to the card, gave the kid his food, then called out, "Next."

I moved up and placed the money down on the counter. "I'll have a chicken basket, and a, so-duh?"

The lady put her hands on her hips. "I just told that kid to be specific, now you're messin' with me? What type of soda do you want?"

Uhhhhhh. "Coke." She pulled out a red can from the fridge behind her and then placed a chicken basket in front of me. She grabbed the grey thing from before. "I.D., please,"

"Uh, what's an I.D.?" The lady dropped the grey thing and got a look that said are-you-f***ing-kidding-me.

She glared at me. "You better be new here," she growled. " She turned to the register. "What's your PB number?"

I was a little afraid to say that I had no idea what that is. All of a sudden a loud "Ma'am!" came from behind me. I turned and saw a chubby kid walking towards me.

The lady sighed. "Tony, what is it?" He walked weirdly as he came over and leaned on the counter. One of the teachers on stage said into the microphone, "Tony! Get your butt back up here!" There was a bunch of 'Ohs' from around the cafeteria.

"But Mr. Davis, sir! I am in da middle, of somethang. So you're just gonna wait till I'm finished ovar here!"[1]

More 'Ohs'. Then Tony slapped his I.D. on the counter. "Ma'am, since this poor white child don't know how to pay fo' his lunch, Imma gladly pay for 'em."

She scanned the card and then said flatly,"You have no money."

Tony went silent. He put his hands on my shoulders. "Don't worry boy-" He threw his hands up and looked at the ceiling-"Jesus will save ya!" Then walked away.

The entire cafeteria burst out laughing while the teacher on stage scolded Tony through the microphone.

After that I decided I wasn't really hungry.

I sat back down and stole food off other peoples' trays and out of their lunch boxes.

All of a sudden, Nicole from language arts materialized in the seat in front of me. She leaned in and whispered, "Look, Ed. We don't know exactly how to get you back to Amestris, but we can help. We're on your side. So just chill until the end of the school day and try not to fight with someone. And stay away from the Shadow Grove." Then she casually walked away, trying not to get noticed by the teacher in stage.

Today is offically the worst day of my life.
