FullMetal Alchemist IM'ing by She-wolf Vixen
Just a note: We're assuming that the people in the world of FullMetal Alchemist know what a computer is and can use it. Enjoy the story!
Be sure to check out my other I'Ming stories. They're all the same concept but with different storylines and differnt shows/books/ect.
Edward Elric was bored.
It had been a few days since he and Al had arrived in Central and guess who he had been so lucky to run into? Yeah, Major Armstrong. After a few bone-crushing hugs of doom, the major handed Ed over to the Colonel, Roy Mustang. The Colonel had been in a bad mood that day and Ed had immediatly struck up a yelling session with him. The debate got so heated that the two alchemists had ended up tusseling each other on the ground while Al protested loudly to his brother. The Lieutenant Hawkeye was the one who ultimately broke up the fight and the was so furious that she quickly ushered the Elric brothers out the door before turning around to berate Roy which could be heard all the way to the Fuhrer's office.
Since Mustang forgot completely what he was going to give Ed, the two brothers decided to stay at headquarters for the time being. After a while, Al stood and announced that he was going somewhere for a while leaving Ed to stretch and nap. When the gold-haired teen woke, Al still hadn't returned.
Thus, Edward Elric was bored.
As a final resort, the fullmetal alchemist turned his braided head towards the small computer off to one side. Under a slight daze, he recalled Havoc mentioning that the computer didn't do much because it had just been created by a mechanical alchemist in the area but it had some useful software installed on it. Shrugging and giving a yawn, Ed made his way over to the machine and sat down. He gave the power button a push and leaned back in his chair to watch. The screen in front of him filled with color and bleeped on. Whirring away, the screen then showed a few icons. One caught Ed's attention. The icon read "AIM". Frowning, he placed his automail arm lightly on the mouse.
"A..I...M...?" Ed read slowly. "Is that some sort of group?"
He clicked on the little red icon and immediatly, a log-in/sign-up page came up in front of him. With another shrug, Ed procceded to sign up. Most people who didn't know what was going on would have been interested by Edward's muttering as he filled out the form.
In the end, Ed managed to log in and sat staring at the blank chat box.
"Chat? What the heck is this?"
EdoNiiSan: UEEEEH?!? BIG BROTHER?!?
Ed blinked, "Al?"
EdoNiiSan: WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!?
FullMetal: Al? You ditched me for this!?
EdoNiiSan: I'm sorry big brother.
FullMetal: What is this anyway?
EdoNiiSan: Well...it's for this.
FullMetal: What?
EdoNiiSan: It's just for talking long distance.
FullMetal: What? Did all the phones in Central break down or something?
EdoNiiSan: Um...you can have a conversation with more than one person.
FullMetal: ...this is so messed up.
FullMetal: How do you type anyway? You're a suit of armor.
EdoNiiSan: Eh...heh...
QueenOfAutoMail has entered the room
FullMetal: hey! wait a minute! that isn't...?
EdoNiiSan: Eh...yeah, that's Winry.
QueenOfAutoMail: Hey Alphonse...and Edward?
FullMetal: Yeah. You know Al...this is really creepin gme out.
ColonelFlame has entered the room.
FullMetal: Agh!
EdoNiiSan: Eh..Winry, we better go.
QueenOfAutoMail: sigh, you guys are always rushing off somewhere, well, see ya.
QueenOfAutoMail has gone away.
ColonelFlame: ...Full metal?
EdoNiiSan: Eeeeek!
FullMetal: See ya Al.
FullMetal has signed off.
Ed leaned back into his chair again. "That was weird, though maybe I'll try again tommorrow."
Yawning, Ed made his way to his bed and plopped down to take another nap.
So concludes chapter one. Be on the lookout for chapter two!
Hope you liked this so far...oh! and review please.
