HI. OK I KNOW THAT YOU ALL WANT TO GET ON AND READ THE STORY AND I PERSONALLY HATE IT WHEN PEOPLE DO THINGS LIKE THIS BEFORE YOU START, BUT I FEEL THAT YOU SHOULD KNOW THIS. WELL, FIRST, I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU FOR READING THIS AND ASK YOU TO PLEASE REVIEW MY STORY SEEING AS I'M A BEGINNING WRITER ( NO REVIEW IS BAD). ANYWAYS, WHAT I JUST WANTED TO SAY IS THAT THIS FIC. IS BASED OFF OF THE ORIGINAL FMA ANIME, BUT DURING THE FIRST CHAPTER I NEED ED TO BE ABLE TO TALK TO THE GATE TO GET THE BALL ROLLING, SO I INCORPORATED BROTHERHOOD'S "TRUTH" INTO THIS SO ED COULD TALK TO HIM. OBVIOUSLY, THERE WILL BE SOME CHANGES TO IT SEEING AS THIS IS NOT BROTHERHOOD. THE REST OF THIS FIC. FOLLOWS THE 2003 ANIME, BUT I JUST DIDN'T WANT YOU TO GET CONFUSED. SORRY FOR WASTING YOUR TIME, I JUST HOPE AT LEAST SOME OF YOU READ ALL THIS.

THANKS AGAIN,
