Here is the long awaited (okay, not so long awaited) sequal to "My Body, Your Soul." I do hope that you enjoy it. Please leave me feedback with your comments and suggestions. Also, I realize that I'll get some things wrong about school, since I never went to a public high school, and I welcome help regarding that. Just remember that if I get most things right, then I'm doing pretty good, heh.

Hey, don't get confused now, this story starts several months after the end of the last story. My stories tend to be kind of fast-paced, I realize, but I didn't want to stick around where not much was happening. It's alright if J.R.R.Tolkien wants to spend five pages trying to decide whether to stop and rest for the night or not, but that's not my style, hehe.

Oh, yes, one more note. There almost seems to be an unwritten law that states, "No sequal shall be greater than or equal to the original." While I'll try to break that unwritten law, don't be too surprised if I keep it. That's what tends to happen to sequals, hehe, though I'll still try to make this story good. It's not flowing as easily as the last story, so it probably won't be as good, but hopefully will still rival it. Since it's not flowing as easily though, I might not be able to update every day either. I'll try, but don't be upset if I can't.

Anyway, on with the story! Enjoy!

Disclaimer: Why do I need a disclaimer? Everyone knows that this is fan fiction since it's on so why do we do this anyway? I don't own FullMetal Alchemist!

Edward slammed the front door shut as soon as he stepped into the house. He threw down his backpack, and plopped own into an armchair. He placed his hand over his face and sighed. "Why did you wait for me, Katie?"

"Brother, Mom asked me to come straight home to help her with the housework. You knew that," I replied as calmly as I could. This being a small town, the Junior High and High school students all went to one school. The school year had just started a few weeks ago, so we both went to the same school. We usually would wait for each other, so that we could walk home together, but that had not been possible today.

"Did you have a bad day at school today?" I asked.

"That's the understatement of the year," complained Ed, "I had all these girls mob me all day, telling me how much I look like Edward Elric. I even pulled out my identification card to prove to them that I was Edward Greene, not Edward Elric, but they still wouldn't leave me alone."

Ah yes, the identification care. That had sure been a tough legal battle getting that for him, since he didn't have any birth records. I didn't even want to remember it.

"I imagine that that was kind of annoying," I said.

"Why do I have to look like Edward Elric, anyway?" he sighed.

"Well, Brother, you ARE Edward Elric," I said.

Edward closed his eyes and shook his head. "Oh, Katie, please, not you too! That joke's really old and not funny anymore."

"Joke?" I said, "What makes you think I'm joking?"

"How can it not be a joke that I was some famous super-kid in a past life?" said Edward indignantly, "Edward Elric isn't even real, so I wish everyone would just drop it. Why do I have to even look like the guy? Should I cut my hair? Would that get everyone off my back?" Edward slumped back in his chair, highly irritated.

"Brother…you…you don't remember…do you?"

"Remember what?" he snapped.

"You don't remember being Edward Elric."

Edward growled. "Lay off, would you?" He got up and stomped out of the room.

Tears started to come to my eyes. I could understand why Edward was so mad, but I couldn't understand how he could possibly forget all that we'd been through. What was going on? His problems were supposed to have been all taken care of when he was reincarnated. Why was this happening?

(When one is reincarnated, their conscious mind is wiped clean of all their previous life's memories. Since his was an unusual reincarnation, the erasing of his memories was a bit delayed, but it's beginning to happen.)

(Who are you?) I asked, (What are you doing in my body? Don't you know that two souls can't coexist in one body?)

(Yes,) said the voice, (I know.)

(Then what are you doing here? I can't let you stay, or we'll both die,) I said.

(I have always been here. We will not die, because there is only one soul in this body,) said the voice.

(What are you talking about?) I said, (Both my soul and your soul are sharing the same body.)

(Yes and no,) said the voice, (We're both sharing the same body, yes, but we're also sharing the same soul. Only our minds are separate.)

(What the heck?) I yelled, (Are you saying that I have a split personality?)

(No, of course not. I've been in your subconscious mind all the time. Now that there's a need, however, I came to full consciousness, since you'll obviously need my help.)

(Who the heck are you?) I demanded.

The voice paused for a moment, then said, (I'm Alphonse Elric.)

I gasped and collapsed onto the couch. (But…But how? I'm Al's reincarnation. Alphonse Elric is dead.)

(I still live through you.)

I sat silent for several minutes. Was Al really talking to me? Could a previous incarnation actually do that? Why was he suddenly appearing?

Finally, I spoke. (Al, why have you suddenly appeared? I didn't know that a previous incarnation could do that.)

(I appeared all of a sudden because with brother losing his memories, you'll need my help to help him. I know him better than you do.)

I brushed some hair out of my face. (I suppose you do,) I said, (But what will happen to you after the need is met?)

(I'll simply return to my normal unconscious state until I'm needed again, if ever,) said Al.

(Does that mean that you'll die?) I asked, horrified.

(No, nothing like that. I am you, and you are me. Whatever happens to me happens to you, and vice versa. I'm simply saying that this mind, the mind of Alphonse Elric, will go back to sleep when the need has been met. Your mind is the dominant one in this lifetime.)

(So, what do you suggest we do about Edward?) I asked.

(We need to first try and convince him of the truth of what you say about his previous existence. That should be the easy part,) said Al.

(The EASY part? Do you realize how hard that's going to be?)

(Yes,) he said, (I know Brother better than anyone, but after we achieve this first step, it'll just get more difficult. That's why you need my help so badly.)

I sighed. Would this family manage to achieve normalcy in ANY incarnation?

I got up off the couch. I had no idea what to do or say, but I figured that I might as well go talk to Edward. I climbed the stairs and entered the room next to mine, which was his. I didn't make a sound, and his back was turned towards me. Perhaps he didn't even hear me enter the room?

"What's the matter, Katie?" he said.

"Edward!" I should while waving my hands, "Don't startle me like that!"

"Startle YOU? You were the one trying to sneak up on me," he said as he spun his office chair around to face me.

"How did you know I was there?" I asked, "Did you hear me?"

Edward shrugged. "No, I didn't hear you, I just knew you were there. I sort of 'felt' it, if that makes any sense."

"Those that display a strong psychic ability have a good chance of having been an alchemist if they were ever on the other side of the Gate during one of their previous incarnations."

"Brother," I said, "That proves that you were Edward Elric. That proves you were an alchemist."

"For the last time," he said, irritated, "Will you just let that go?" As a reflex, he flicked his wrist. A pen then flew off his desk by itself and smacked me in the arm. We were both dumbstruck for several moments until he said, "What just happened?"

I shook my head. "I'm not quite sure. Try that again, Brother." He waved his hand again and the pen flew back to him. Of course! He was telekinetic! Being the prodigy he was, it would only make sense that his psychic abilities would be unusually strong.

"How did I do that?" Edward said, perplexed.

"You know you won't like my answer," I said, "You shouldn't ask if you don't want to hear it."

"Well, normally I wouldn't want to hear it, but normally pens to fly around when I wave my hands either. Tell me what you think this is about," said he.

I explained to him about the fact that many psychics were once alchemists, and the reason that his psychic powers were so strong was because he had been a prodigy at alchemy. He really was Edward Elric. Surprisingly, he was actually listening to me.

"If this is all true," he said, "Then why don't I remember it?"

"Because you were reincarnated and your memories were wiped clean," I said.

"Then why do you remember it?" he asked. I sighed. That was such a long story. This was going to take me awhile.

"…And so I transmuted you at the last possible moment, and that's why you're alive today," I finished. Ugh, I was thirsty after all that talking.

Edward chuckled. "Well, Katie, I'd say that you have quite an imagination." He turned back to his writing desk.

I started to fume. "What will it take to get you to believe me?" I was waving my hands around wildly.

Edward turned back around. "The first step in convincing me that I'm Edward Elric would be in proving that Edward Elric really did exist." He turned and looked at the pen resting on his desk. He flicked his wrist, and it flew into his hand. "This is awesome!" he cried.

I shook my head. Brothers, what do you do with them? I turned and left the room just as a pen hit the wall.

(Well, I didn't do too well, did I?) I said.

(You actually did a lot better than I thought you would,) consoled Al, (Brother's pretty hard-headed at times. At least you got him to listen.)

(True, but what do I do next?)

(We'll have to prove that he actually existed, somehow,) said Al.

(Yes, but how?) I wondered.

(We'll find a way, just be patient.)

I heard some laughter coming from Ed's room. He was obviously enjoying his newfound power. I just hoped that he wouldn't get too reckless with it. Of course, there was really nothing I could do about it, so I shrugged it off and went into my own room to get ready for bed.

I put on my nightgown, flicked off the light, and climbed into bed. I was about to fall asleep when I heard a loud crash in the room adjacent to mine followed by a "Whoops!"

Oh, Brother, I sighed, What am I going to do with you?

Well, there you have it, the first chapter in the sequal. Review and tell me whether you liked it, and give me some suggestions. I really need them for this story!
