Hey everybody! New crossover fic! This time It's between Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood and Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch.

Yeah, weird I know, but hey, crossovers are fun to write about. It's following the plotline of Mermaid Melody and Pure with the Elric brothers in on the adventure.

Who knows, I might even pair them up with one of the main characters. 'Cough' EdXLuchia'Cough'.

So, let's get this baby started!

Disclaimer: I don't own a thing!

Prologue: Vacation!?

"YOU WANT US TO WHAT!?"

15 year old Edward Elric panted after screaming into his superiors face, his own red with anger. Behind him, his armoured, younger brother, Alphonse Elric, looked like he was biting his fingernails off if he had any. The two had just returned from another false lead of the Philosophers Stone, with the regular greetings, signing the reports, the insults between the Fullmetal Alchemist and the Flame Colonel.

There was just one thing different. And that just set off Ed into another one of his temper tantrums.

"I only ordered for you and your brother to take a leave of absence for only a few months Fullmetal." Roy Mustang pointed out calmly as he wiped the spittle off his face from the angry teenager. "There's no need to blow a blood vessel about it."

"You want us to take a vacation!?" Ed screamed again as he pounded his superiors desk with his automail fist.

"Fullmetal, please don't break my desk and second, it's not a vacation. It's a leave of absence." Roy repeated slowly.

"What's the difference?!"

"Brother, please calm down." Al pleaded to his brother and he made a begging motion with his hands. He then turned to the colonel. "Not to be rude Colonel, but why the sudden orders? Why do we need a leave of absence?" The youngest Elric politely asked as he held his brother back.

"Thank you Alphonse." Roy then folded his arms and he leaned back in his chair. "The reason being, is that due to the number of missions Fullmetal has completed with no leave, the amount of destruction he causes and I'm starting to think that too many duds on the search for the Philosopher Stone is starting to stress him out."

"Which you give us multiple times a day with no solid evidence!" Ed interrupted from behind his brother.

"So, for both him and you, I think that taking some time off will benefit the two of you. When you're all rested up and have actually improved your behaviour, you'll be allowed to return back to duty." Roy finished.

Alphonse pondered for a few seconds before he shrugged his metal shoulders. "That sounds fair, I guess." He said with a little bit of uncertainty.

"WHAT!?" Ed screamed, flailing his arms about angrily. "You've gotta be kidding me Al! You're actually going along with this!?"

"Edward."

Ed turned to see Lieutenant Riza Hawkeye standing beside him, carrying a stack of papers. "Inside voice please. You'll strain your vocal chords." She scolded lightly.

Ed looked down embarrassedly. "Sorry Lieutenant." He apologized as he tapped his fingers together. "I'll be quieter." He said with a sheepish smile.

Riza just smiled softly at him before returning to her work.

Roy sighed as he rubbed his head. "Fullmetal, think rationally about this. You have been losing your temper more than usual and snap over the simplest of things. You are obviously stressed and exhausted." Roy explained. "And I have a suspicion that you have not been getting much sleep."

Ed rubbed the back of his head guiltily as he looked down, while Al nodded. It was true. He was running himself ragged and it was starting to take its toll on him. He even slept in the middle of a military briefing!

"Look, I know that you want to get your bodies back, but you're never going to do it if you're half-dead." Roy reasoned with a hint of concern. "You need to take time off. Alright?"

Ed was silent for a few seconds before he faced Mustang. "Fine. I'll do it. I guess I can take a few months off." He looked up to his younger brother with a smile. "What about you Al? You okay with this?" He asked.

Al nodded. "Sure. I think it's a great idea brother!"

Roy smirked. "Good. Now sort out your travel option and location. Just make sure it's not expensive." He sighed.

Ed and Al saluted and left the office.

Two days later… Central Train Station… Sunset...

'Tap. Tap.'

Ed looked up from his seat in the train and out the window to see Hawkeye standing outside.

"Hey." She called to the brothers with a smile. Ed stood up and moved the slide window open.

"Lieutenant? What are you doing here?" He asked with a curious smile.

"I just came here to see you boys off. The others were busy, so I came by myself." She explained to the two, who smiled in return. (If Al had a mouth, he would.)

"Well, at least it isn't Colonel." Ed muttered and he leaned back in his seat of the train.

"You know Edward, the Colonel had to pull a lot of strings in order for you to take time off. You would not believe how much shouting he got from the Fuhrer. He was against the idea of you and your brother leaving for a time." Riza explained. "He did you a big favour by doing this Edward. You could at least be a little grateful."

Ed frowned. "He didn't have to do all of that for us." He muttered again as he folded his arms.

Al chuckled at his brother's moping and turned to the Lieutenant. "Tell the Colonel we said thanks and we'll be back soon, okay?" He requested and she nodded.

"But not soon enough!" Ed added, still sulking.

Riza just chuckled. "I'll let him and the others know."

HHHHOOOOORRRRRNNNN!'

"Oh. Looks like it's time." She stated as the train started to move slowly. She then gave the two a salute. "I hope the two of you have a safe journey and a nice time."

The responded with salutes of their own and smiled. They continued until the Lieutenant left their line of sight and they were away from the station. The two relaxed as the train started it's trek to their destination.

East Japan.

"It was nice of the Colonel to allow us to go to East Japan. It's quite a long way from Amestris. Longer than a journey to Xing." Al observed as his brother leaned beside the window.

"Yeah. I guess. He didn't complain or ask any questions about it." He stated with a sigh. "I'm just glad we called Winry beforehand, otherwise we would have been on the receiving end of her wrench." The two shuddered at the mere thought.

That girl can do damage with a wrench like no other.

Deciding to take their minds off the subject, Al spoke again. "So brother, are you looking forward to seeing the Japan again?" He asked, bring the oldest Elric out of his train of thought.

"Huh?...Oh, yeah." He mumbled. "The last time we were there, was when mom was still alive. She had saved enough to go to somewhere nice and we were lucky enough we came here." He said quietly. Their mother was a touchy subject for the both of them. And for good reason.

Al sighed himself and leaned back as much as his hulking form could. "Yeah, that was such a long time ago." He then noticed his brother in a trance of his own again. "Are you okay Ed?"

Ed shook his head again and gave a small smile. "Yeah, I'm fine Al… I'm just thinking of the last time we were there."

"You mean when you met her?" Al asked curiously as Ed smiled again.

"Yeah." He mumbled as he looked out the window to the setting sun and he remembered what nearly happened to him all those years ago. How he nearly died. How worried his mom and brother were. How he was saved.

How he felt like he was in love.

'We all saw her.' He thought with a smile as he remembered that fateful morning. He remembered her beautiful blonde hair done in two long tails. Her light ocean blue eyes. Her beautiful voice, like that of an angel.

And how could he forget her beautiful, pink scaled tailfin?

'I really hope I get to see you again… Luchia.' He thought as he took something out of his pocket. It was a pendant, holding a small rectangular box with a small, pink orb in it.

Her Pearl.

His reminder.

Their Promise.

'I'll see you soon. I will return this… I promise.'

Meanwhile… Midnight… North Pacific Palace…

"Well, I'll be going now!"

14 year old Luchia Nanami, Mermaid Princess of the North Pacific Ocean, called out to her handmaidens with a smile and swished her pink tail forward to the entrance of her palace, her long, flowing blonde hair done in two tails floating slightly behind her. Beside her, walked a blue penguin wearing what appeared to be sailors uniform.

"Princess, please wait!" She turned to see three of her handmaidens swim up to her, all three looking concerned and worried.

"Why?" She asked as she stopped swimming, as did her penguin. "What's wrong?"

"You don't need to leave so quickly, your highness!" The one in the middle pleaded, worry evident in her tone.

"That's right!" The two beside her voiced together, both holding their hands in begging positions.

Luchia pouted and folded her arms. "Why? Aren't you the ones who said I could leave today? Why the sudden change?" She said, a little indignantly. The three looked down timidly to the floor at their Princesses reaction.

"Well, your highness, to leave in such a rush during a big storm like this one is rather impulsive." The one in the middle reasoned with her index fingers tapping together nervously. "It's too dangerous to be out on your own."

"That's right." The two beside her agreed again, while looking down nervously.

"Uummm, ladies?" The three looked down to see the penguin looking at them while pointing outside with one flipper. He spoke with a squeaky voice. "She already left." He pointed out as the three finally noticed the missing Princess swimming away. They felt huge sweat drops trailing down their heads and they looked down to the penguin.

"Good grief. Why must she do this?" The one in the middle mumbled before looked to the penguin. "Hippo, since this has happened the way we thought it would, you're the only one we can rely on! Please support Princess Luchia for us!" She begged with concern.

"Don't worry Ma'am's." The penguin, Hippo, reassured as he held up what appeared to be an electronic device. "With this Pear Radar, It'll be a cinch!" He then pounded his chest as he stood proud. "Just leave everything to me!" He then coughed and hacked, after pounding his chest too hard.

He quickly put the radar in his shirt pocket and swam to catch up to the Mermaid Princess. He had to admit, he wasn't that much of a swimmer. But he had to in order to stay close to the Princess. "Luchia, wait for me!" He called out to her as he panted.

Luchia just continued swimming, seemingly not hearing her friend's voice as she swam to the surface. She smiled as her eyes shined. "Above to the surface again… I wonder if I'll be able to meet him again." She wondered as Hippo caught up to her. The two soon reached the surface of the water, where it seemed that the storm had finally calmed down and Luchia leaped into the air as droplets of water followed her as they shined in the moonlight.

It was truly a beautiful sight.

Luchia dived back into the water and she climbed onto a nearby rocky platform that lead to a beach. She sat down as her tail swished back and forth slowly in the water. Hippo climbed onto the platform with her and stood beside her.

They stayed like that for the next few hours until it was time for the sun to appear again. Luchia smiled at the sight. The sea truly looked wonderful in the morning. "Isn't it nice Hippo?" She asked with a grin. "And we've finally arrived to the surface!"

Hippo nodded slightly. He wasn't paying attention to the sight as he was more concerned to the task at hand. He turned to the Princess. "Now then Luchia, because we are now in the world of the humans, that form won't do." He advised to the young girl, who looked at him with a little surprise.

"Ah, that's right." She remembered as she closed her eyes and concentrated. A few seconds later, a small spiral of red/pinkish light surrounded her fin and her body when her tailfin soon turned into a pair of human legs and soon, she was significantly different from before. Her eyes were now light brown, her hair now dirty blonde colour and her pigtails now short enough to reach her neck. She wore a red and white shirt with a red star in the centre, blue shorts and near, knee high shoes. (Or are they boots? I don't know.)

She smiled as she stared out into the ocean, eager to start her life on the surface. All the while thinking of a promise that was made long ago.

'I hope that we meet each other again soon… Edward.'

…

…

And that's the Prologue to Seven Seas Alchemy: Elric's Live Start!

The next chapter will be of the first episode were Ed and Al meet Luchia again, although, it takes them a while to figure it out. Don't worry, Ed and Al are of course, very perceptive.

And don't worry about what the Elrics will do to help, I've got plans for that.

'Till then, Read and Review please!

This is Wielder of the Blue Flames, signing off!
