Hello readers, once again i have started a new story! This time its again FMA (I've really gotten into that anime lately) And there is a plot line, sort of... i haven't finished writing the plot yet...

Ed and Al will be orphaned by a car crash, and Ed ends up being adopted by Roy and Riza. Im not sure how I'm going to fit Al into the story, but i don't REALLY wanna kill him off either.

Although what i might do is instead of looking for the philosophers stone, the quest will be to find Al (Who went missing after the car crash) instead, ok? I'll let you readers know when i decide, suggestions are also welcome anytime, so let me know what you think :D

I do not own Fullmetal Alchemist, much as i wish i did (Like, all the time…)

And their ages at the beginning of the story:

Ed= 7

Al= 6

Roy= 23

Riza= 21

This is a Modern theme, no alchemy and 'possibly' no military, not sure yet.

Not much else to say, except hope you enjoy my first attempt at a multi-chapter FMA, reviews are also welcome :D

START CHAPTER:

It all started with a rainy day, as cliche as it is. The Elric family were driving to a restaurant to go have some dinner at a fancy restaurant (Cause their father was a rich businessman) when all of a sudden a drunk driver went on the wring side of the road, and hit them out of nowhere. It happened within a matter of seconds.

A screeching of tires. The crashing of metal. The world went black, and then it was all over. Ed could hardly move or barely breathe at all, his chest hurt. He didn't remember much after that.

When he woke up, he was in a completely white room, it didn't take long for Ed to figure out that he was in a hospital. He scowled, he hated hospitals. (Plus, they served milk on his meal… milk is evil and should never be drunk….)

A blonde nurse by the name of Riza Hawkeye walked in then, and saw him in an angry stare-off with the milk, and she sighed.

"Edward, is it? Good to see you you awake." Two inquisitive golden eyes stared up at her, and she felt sorry for the poor kid.

His arm and leg were lost in the crash that took his family, and he was only a kid. How sad…

"Where's my mom?" Uh oh, she knew that question was coming. This would break the poor kids heart.

"I'm sorry Edward, neither of your parents survived." Riza knew he would have to be told eventually, but she still wished she didn't have to. She would never forget the look on the boys face when she did.

He blinked once, than twice, those golden eyes filled with tears. He then curled up into a ball as much as he could without his wounds hurting, and sobbed silently on the hospital bed.

"Where's my brother?" Came a small voice from the golden mop of hair sticking out from under the blanket. Nurse Hawkeye knew Ed had lost both his parents, but one thing baffled her, and everyone else…

There was nobody else but him and his parents in the car when they pulled Ed out from the wreckage.

"Your brother was never found Ed, I'm sorry." The resulting distressed wail almost broke the Riza's heart.

Over the next few weeks, his injuries healed, but he still had a missing arm and leg, and he was asking- more like demanding, that he be allowed to get auto mail. A dangerous and painful process, but he kept insisting.

His temper on the other hand, was wild and unpredictable. Some days he would be silent and sob quietly when he thought no-one else was listening. Other days he would rage and shout at whatever poor staff member had to serve him his meals.

AT LEAST TWO MONTHS LATER:

It was time for Ed to get his automail, even though he could get pretty angry during a rage, the hospital staff all came to treat him like a son. (In their own ways)

Because of who he was, or more accurately, who his father was, the best mechanics they could get their hands on were hired. In this case, the renowned Pinako Rockbell from her home town of Risembool (1) had been called in. Although she wasn't too happy about fitting auto mail to a child, she agreed to fit Ed with a new arm and leg. She didn't think one so young should have to get such a thing as auto mail.

She arrived four days after the call, and the hospital staff were slightly puzzled when indeed the short, elderly form of Pinako walked through the doors, but there was also a little girl with blonde hair trailing behind her.

"So who's the girl?" Ed's nurse, Riza, asked. She only worked part time at the hospital, but the rest of her day she worked with her fiancé Roy Mustang, in his office. (2) She was renowned for being the only one who could actually keep Roy from slacking on his paperwork. (Most left out the fact she used a gun to motivate him to do his work and not fall asleep)

"This is my granddaughter Winry." Pinako said, gesturing to the blonde girl behind her. "She knows almost as much about auto mail and mechanics as i do." Riza and a few of her co-workers nodded, it made sense.

"So wheres the boy?" Pinako asked, both her and young Winry loaded up with bags containing tons of parts and blueprint papers and such thing alike that for Ed's auto mail arm and leg.

"I'll take you to his room." Riza offered. With a nod from Pinako, the both of them were following behind her as she led them towards Ed's room.

"Anything i should know about the boy now?" Riza thought for a moment, before giving Pinako the basics about Ed's situation.

"His name is Edward. He's seven years old, and he just lost his entire family in a car crash." Pinako nodded in sympathy, both women and Winry were silent the rest of the walk to Ed's hospital room.

When they got there, Ed was asleep under his blanket, only his golden hair stuck out. Riza walked to the still sleeping Ed and gently shook his good shoulder.

"Ed, come on wake up now." The Ed shaped lump under the blankets shifted and let out a "Don't wanna." Riza sighed, then thought of how to wake him up.

"You'll miss out on getting your auto mail if you don't get up right now." She teased, smirking slightly when Ed shot up in a hurry.

Winry was slightly mesmerised by those big golden eyes she saw in the boy, it was an unusual colour, but she thought it looked cool.

It took three weeks in total for the process to finish. One week both Rockbells stayed up at all hours to finish the plans for his arm and leg, and two weeks to take all the right measurements plus build and fit on his new limbs.

During that time, Winry and Ed became good friends. Pinako did most of the work, so she spent most of her time in the golden haired boy's room.

Winry learned about the crash and his missing brother, Ed learned about how Winry had lost both her parents to the war. Riza began to see a change in Edward Elric, he wasn't as angry and wild as often as before. (Although he still hated milk) Winry was good at calming Ed's bad moods, and comforting him when he got upset.

To everyones humor but Edward's, Winry whacked him with a small wrench from time to time when her patience wore out.

When Ed was asleep after getting the auto mail fitted, Roy had come to pick up Riza from her part-time shift.

"Poor Ed, he'll have to go to an orphanage when his wounds heal." Riza had come to look at Ed as a son of sorts, and was protective of him. Roy didn't want to see her unhappy, and he wouldn't admit it, but he was also a little fond of Edward. He thought of an idea.

"Hey Riza," He started. Said blonde looked up at him from their embrace. "Why don't we adopt him?" Her eyes widened at his suggestion.

"Are you sure Roy? I mean, you're pretty hesitant when it comes to having kids and i know you said its ok i can't have kids naturally and-" He chuckled as her hyper-speed rambling was cut off.

"What can i say? The kid's grown on me." He grinned, and was pleased when Riza returned the smile.

"We'll ask him when he wakes up yeah?" Roy nodded, and they both walked out to Roys car.

They could have the son they always wanted.

END OF CHAPTER:

So what do you readers think? I love these kinds of stories, where Roy adopts Ed and they have lots of drama and become a family. So i wrote one myself.

Now for notes:

1- Did i spell Risembool right? I know others spell it differently, so I'm not 100% sure. But for now I'm just going with what the anime says

2- Like in the anime, Riza works with Roy in his office, but also subs sometimes for other nurses at the hospital (No night shifts)

I base most of what i know off the anime, as most of you would know if you read my profile, i don't really read manga very often.

So i hope everyone likes the beginning to my Orphan FMA story. I have the first THREE chapters planned in dot-points on paper, all i have to do is elaborate them in detail, and add a few things if i feel like it.

This is actually the first story I've planned so far in advance for. (Beyond the plot for the whole story)

Enough with my rambling. If you're anything like me, you have a dozen or so other fanfics you wanna read as soon as possible

Cya next chapter! :D
