"WHAT?!" I shouted, "THAT'S BULL!"

I had just finished watching the last episode of Fullmetal Alchemist. And boy, was I pissed off.

WHAT KIND OF AN ENDING IS THAT?!

Okay, Alphonse gets his body back, but ED STILL HAS HIS AUTOMAIL AND HE'S STUCK IN A DIFFERENT WORLD? WHAT THE CRAP?

I was about to throw a fit when I noticed the title in the "if you liked this anime, try…" box.

Fullmetal Alchemist the Movie: Conquerer of Shamballa.

THEY MADE A MOVIE?!

I clicked the link.

After awhile, i noticed that it was nine. I had to head upstairs to my room, before my mom found me on the computer when she got home. But I had a design stuck in my head; It wasnt shakeable. It was seriously complicated, but somehow crystal clear.

Does that make any sense? I hope so.

So, as soon as pushed the door closed, i put up my dirty blonde hair and pulled out my big pad of paper. And when i say big, i mean huge-assed, multiple-labrador-retrivers-could-sleep-comfortably-on-it, four-and-a-half-foot-by-five-foot pad of paper. I got it custom ordered off of this site that makes custom art supplies(I had about five pads in my closet-I bought in bulk.) I pulled out a mechanical pencil, and drew a large circle. After that, it was all kind of easy. A line here, a symbol there, pretty soon you have this mandala-looking thing and it hasnt even been twenty minutes.

I sat back and looked at my handiwork. Call me crazy, but it looked like something out of the show.

I grinned; I would totally copy a smaller version and set it as the profile pic of my Facebook. But now that my mission was up, i was suddenly exhausted. And no wonder- I had done the Square of Death(1) in soccer so i was probably running on empety. But right before i fell asleep(on top of the pad, I might add. I was just that tired.) I could have sworn i saw the circle flash blue...

"Well this is a crappy dream," I muttered, looking around. I was in a white room, the only distinguishing thing was the massive gate in front of me. Come to think of it, It looked just like the one from Fullmetal Alchemist...

"Nice job, there, using alchemy in that dimension." A voice echoed. I looked around, somewhat startled, then smirked.

"Yeah, right. Alchemy is fictional, and even if it were possible, not in this world."

"I wouldnt be too sure about that, Modern Al-chem-ist. But the question is, what shall you be giving up?"

"Pshht. Yeah right," I said to whatever the voice was, "Its a dream, I dont have to give up anything."

"Well, if you arent going to choose...I suppose you'll just have to wait and see!"

I was being shaken awake. I smacked at the arms shaking me, moaning. "Dunn' wann' go da schoo..."

"Will you just wake up, already?"

I frowned. The voice struck a chord, but which memory, i couldn't remember. I opened my eyes...

And was met with two golden ones and two purple ones.

Oh, holy hell.

"WHATHEFUUUUUUUUUUCK?!?!?!?!??!?!?!??!?!?!??!?!??!!"

The two people leaning over me were indisputably Edward Elric and Envy. There was NO WAY to refute or refuse this fact. Of course, Ed had that old red jacket on. The one from before the movie. He couldnt have been much older than I was. Envy... Looked like Envy. He wasnt a freaky dragon thing -yet- But his hair was still green and pokey.

But it made NO FRICKIN SENSE! Edward and Alphonse were anime characters, they didnt just come to life whenever they felt like it! Could they?

My eyes flickered from Ed, to Envy, to Ed's gloved automail hand, to Envy's hair, to Ed, to Envy, to Ed, to Envy's clothes... And so on and so forth. It was so... bizarre. Beyond belief.

Ed waved his right hand in front of my face, and i could hear a faint grind of metal as he did. "Hello? Anyone in there?"

"I think you scared her." Ed turned to Envy, "You jerk."

"Because I care, Mr. Fullmetal Pipsqueak?"Envy said, getting a rise out of Edward, causing a shouting match

"Uh, can i get a word in edgewise?" I asked, pitifully nervous-sounding. Two pairs of eyes turned to look at me.

"What the hell are you two doing in my room?"

The alchemist and the homunculus glanced at each other. "We dont know." Ed finally said. Envy grunted in affirmation.

I facepalmed, groaning, "This is my fault..."

"What's your fault?" Ed asked.

"That you guys are here. I dont get it: Alchemy dosent work on this side of the Gate." I explained. "And..." I ran a hand through my hair, sighing, "You guys are supposed to be fictional characters."

They looked at me blankly.

I shrugged, "You know... Fiction? As in fantasy? As in you two arent supposed to exist?!"

Homunculus and alchemist blinked once.

I snapped in their faces, "Hello? Earth to fictional characters? Anyone home?"

Ed flinched back and Envy glared. "Would you stop that?" The homunculus snapped, and I pulled my hand back.

"So, let me get this straight..." Ed narrowed one eye, "Envy and I, and everyone either of us have ever known, are not supposed to exist. At all."

"According to the author of the anime and manga you two come out of, Wikipedia, and the entire world? Exactly."

Envy plopped himself on the beanbag in the corner of my room, "And how do you expect to prove it to us?" He asked nonchalantly.

I shrugged. "Like this," I stated, and opened my closet. I pulled out the Fullmetal Alchemist volumes I had that werent on loan from my friends and tossed them at him. He caught them, examining them lazily. "Proof enough?"

Edward grabbed one of the volumes, giving it a once-over. "Why is this book backwards?"

"Because it's in original format. The style of book that is -Manga- is written in Japan, usually, and that particular country reads in the opposite direcion that mine and yours do." I answered, and pulled the volume from Ed's grip. I tried to take the five that Envy had, but his grip was too strong. "Dude. Gimme the book back."

"No."

I blinked. "...No?"

"Thats what I said, isnt it?" Envy said without even looking up. He was apparently reading the first volume. He flipped a page, "I'm interested now."

I blinked slowly. "...That is not something I ever thought I would hear you say. Or read you say. Or whatever."

Ed scrambled over, reading over the homunculus's shoulder. It was a really, really odd sight. Envy didnt appear to notice Ed's hovering.

Again, I blinked. "Okay. So, if you guys... arent a hallucination, then you can sleep on the floor. My closet should have some blankets if you need any..." I picked up my sketchpad. The design I had drawn about -I checked my clock- an hour earlier had completely dissappeared from the page. There was no hope in reversing it now.

I placed the sketchpad gingerly behind my desk and fell onto my bed. One last glance at the two manga characters: They were completely engrossed in the volume. They looked to be about halfway through.

I closed my eyes and allowed my mind to rest.

Hoo, boy, Interesting, no? So, anyway, All you readers need to help. This is where you get to choose what happens first.

1) Ed and Envy go to SakuraCon with me and manga obsessed friend (and this option assumed spring break) and meet Vic, Travis, Aaron and Caitlin.

2) Ed and Envy get enrolled in my school.

3) Ed and Envy discover Fanfiction, along with the animes.

4) Ed and Envy just flat out meet manga-obsessed friend when said friend comes over for scheduled sleepover. Friend recognizes the two.

5) Other. Put in reply. Thanx very much.

Iggy: She's actually got most of these sort of planned out, she just needs to figure out which one to take first.
