Woah. o.o I got more reviews for this chapter then any of the others...think I'm onto something with making a fanfic guide in the form of a fanfic. -sweatdrops- Yeah...I think I'll do that for now on...

So yeah, I kept delaying this chapter because I was lazy, and I just got this really bigass review from AdventureAddict (hi!!) that I had way too much fun replying too and got in the mood to update...because she basically reminded me I still had this fic. I'm running out of things to say to start the fanfic...err...THIS..IS...RISEMBOOL! (and everyone goes "wtf?")

As some of the secondary characters of Full Metal Alchemist set up the scenery, Edward Elric sat at the edge of the stage with his legs crossed and his arms folded, thinking hard with his eyes shut. People walked past him, some wondering what he was doing, others wishing he'd get out of the way so that they could do their job. A couple of readers pondered on what he was thinking about, and the author wished she had gotten some sleep last night instead of playing on Gaia and doing anime related stuff. And then a couple of other readers just wanted me to be done with this pointless monologue, which I'm happy of doing because I'm getting tired of writing this way.

Anyway, what Ed was pondering about was how the hell he had got there and what everyone else was doing. His younger brother Alphonse, in his human form like he is in 75 percent of all Fullmetal Fanfiction, and for some reason still having his uber cute ponytail even though he had obviously chopped it off at the end of the movie, walked over and poked his shoulder. "Brother, we're starting the fanfiction now. So do you mind doing something?"

"Ah, so that's what this is." Ed opened his eyes and looked at his brother. "What's this chapter about?"

Alphonse shrugged and looked up at the light blue tab bar at the top of the window. Ed also looked at it and wondered how that got there. "I think it's about genre?" Al guessed uncertainly.

"Okay...how're we gonna teach that?" Ed asked. Al shrugged yet again, and I whined about the homework I had to do later, breaking the forth wall yet again. Ed sweatdropped at the author and jumped off the stage, getting stared at by Alphonse. "Well then! What genre do you think we're doing right now?"

"I think general...it's not really about anything and it's kinda a mix of other genres..." Al jumped down next to his brother and beamed. "Hey! I think we just taught one!"

"I think we did!" Ed smirked in his Ed-ish way. "Awesome, what's next?"

Al tapped his chin thoughtfully. "I guess we do things that Ayumi knows best."

Ed blinked. "Alright..." He clapped his hands together and transmuted his automail into a gun. "Sorry about this, Al." He said sincerly with a small nod of his head. Al had about three seconds to ponder what he meant before Ed randomly and unexpectantly shot him through the forehead. Al let out a startled, pained gasp as he fell to the ground, the round wound in his head bubbling out crimson blood. He hit the ground with a thump and lay still, slimy globs of grayish pink matter oozing from the exit wound in the back of his head, blood spurting onto his face from the entrance, running in small red rivers into his wide open, glazed eyes and pooling into his agape mouth.

Ed's eyes widened when he fully grasped what he had done. He fell to his knees as the shock of finally being alone in this world hit his heart hard. "N...no..." He whispered dryly and crawled over to his brother's motionless body. "Oh, God, Alphonse...I'm sorry..." He whispered, choking back a sob.

Al sat up and wiped the blood off his face, his wounds magically gone. "That hurt, Brother!" He whined with a pout. "What was that for?"

Ed pointed at the two paragraphs above. "Horror and angst." Al nodded in understanding. "Okay. I forgive you for shooting me then."

"Good, because that wasn't my fault anyway."

Al just stared at him.

Ed wasn't paying attention though, instead pondering on what other genres they should do. "Um, Al, do something that I can comfort..."

Alphonse blinked. "Sure..." He got up, climbed on the stage and deliberately fell off it for no reason. He clutched his knees and pretended to cry. "Ow! Brother, I hurt my knee!"

"Awww, Al!" Ed cuddled with his little brother for a second, then let go. "Do you think that counts for Hurt/Comfort?"

"Not in the least." Al replied honestly. Ed nodded. "Good, 'cause that's all the reader's gonna get!"

Al smiled. "What about Adventure next?"

"Nah, our whole anime is basically an adventure...a quest to find the Philosopher's Stone! And I'm feeling lazy, so pick something else..." Ed scratched the back of his head. "Crime's next, umm..."

Al blinked and reached for Ed's state alchemist watch, snapping it off and ran with it. Ed's eyes widened. "Hey! Give that back, Al!"

"Never!" Al cackled evilly, but wasn't watching where he was going and ran into a wall like a cartoon character. Ed sweatdropped. "I don't think that counts either..."

"Blah...it's Ayumi's fault..." Al muttered, handing back the watch. I was either slightly offended and annoyed or totally agreeing with it, but I wasn't sure...just knew that I liked breaking the forth wall.

"Well, drama's next, since Ayumi just decided to go in alphabetical order...wanna do something dramatic?" Ed blinked his eyes, and Al shrugged. "Sure..." He gasped in an overdramatic way, the back of his head against his forehead as he pretended to cough badly and fell to the ground. Ed also gasped in the fake, overdramatic way and knelt down besides him. "Al! What's wrong?? Say something!"

"I'm sorry...I should've told you...b-but...I have a fatal disease that's been killing me called..umm...influenza..." Al made a dramatic flourish. Ed sweatdropped and I burst out laughing and whined about not sleeping. "Anyway, I'm dying, so...bleh." Al's head lolled back and his hand went limp like it always does when someone dies a dramatic death, and he was all dead and stuff...Ed faked a sob. "Al! No! AL!"

Al coughed. "Okay, that's enough...that so did not count."

"I know, this lesson really isn't helping at all..." Ed cleared his throat nervously. "So, uh, family's next, right?"

"Yeah..." Al sat up and looked at him. "Well, you are my brother."

Ed blinked. "Yeah...you're my brother too."

"Glad we established that we're in a family." Al nodded. "All done with that chapter!"

"That didn't do anything!"

"Hey, do you wanna get this chapter done or not?"

"Good point...fantasy's next!" Ed blinked twice. "How're we gonna do that?"

And then, like magic, Ayumi appeared as a tiny fairy type person, wearing Tinkerbell's dress but black and had a purple wand. "What the hell?!" She demanded in a tiny voice, flailing her arms. "I did not agree to this!"

"Woah, a fairy! Now we get three wishes!" (I almost spelled that 'wishis'...) Ed said excitedly. Al sweatdropped. "Brother, that's genies..."

And instantly, Ayumi poofed into a genie, in black, purple trimmed genie cosplay and everything. She glared at Al. "What is this, Round Robin??" (Nobody will get that unless you read my sis agent000's Round Robin Christmas story, chapter two)

"Anyway, let's make our wishes (Dammit, I almost said wishis again!), Al! Me first, ummm..." Ed pondered. "I'm actually kinda hungry, can I have a sandwich? No, wait! The perfect sandwich!"

Ayumi deadpanned. "Sure...why not..." She folded her arms and bobbed her head like that genie in Forgot-the-Name, and a sandwich appeared in Ed's hand. It was grilled cheese, because I love grilled cheese sandwiches...and it was made perfectly. Ed's eyes sparkled (smarpled? I almost typed that...I need sleep!) in wonderment as he gazed as his beautifully made sandwich. Al's eye twitched at his older brother. "A sandwich? We only get three wishes (wishis...) and you waste it on a sandwich!?"

"Uh...duh." Ed frowned at his sandwich. "Damn, I got nothing to wash it down...man, I wish I had some juice or something..."

Ayumi bobbed her head and a jug of apple juice appeared in his other hand. Ed beamed. "Sweet!" And Al felt like smacking him with something heavy. "Okay, this last wish is mine! And I'm gonna wish for something that'll at least benefit all of us..." But of course, the wish was simple. "I wish for only good Fullmetal Fanfiction, and that's it!"

"Too bad, wish denied." She stuck out her tongue, poked Ed in the nose only because it was cute and disappeared in a puff of smoke. Al would've sweared if his character actually allowed swearing, which it didn't. Ed just enjoyed his sandwich and juice. I wondered why I was writing this like a serious version of Poup.

"Okay, Friendship..." Al hugged his brother. "You're my bestest friend."

"Awww, you're my bestest friend too, Al." Ed said through a mouthful of sandwich. Al grimaced and let him go. "Close your mouth when you talk..."

"Aw, but then I won't be able to flaunt my awesome sandwich as much." Ed opened his mouth wide and showed him the gooey remains of melted cheese and soft bread in his mouth. Al thought of something pervy and out of character and toppled over. I snickered.

"Humor! Well, we've already been pretty much doing that..." Ed said after he finished his sandwich. Al nodded in agreement. I poked my sleeping sister and she said something like "Goober babeh"

"o.O?" Ed and Al both, uh...said?

Yeah, my sister talks in her sleep...anyway...

"Mystery! Oh, that'll be hard..." Al sighed. He looked at his brother and blinked in confusion that Ed was now randomly shirtless. "Brother!? What happened to your shirt?"

"Eh?" He looked down and flushed. "Waugh! I'm shirtless!"

"And pantless too!" Al shielded his eyes after that, afraid that something else would disappear. Ed turned red and stole Al's jacket, wrapping it around himself. "Who keeps stealing my clothes??"

"Heehehehehe...Edo-kuuuuun!!11!2elevenoneonepie!' The screech of the n00b-ish fangirl echoed around the room. The both of them shuddered, especially Ed because he was feeling an unpleasant draft, and clung to each other as the cackle of the fangirl came loudly from all directions. It's hard to be for sure what it sounded like, imagine a very loud "SQUEE!!!!!!!!!!" with "Kekekekekeke...", so it would sound kinda like "SQUEKEKEKEKE" It's really annoying and high pitched...

"Come on, Brother, we have to find out who took your clothes!" Al said shakily.

"Nuh uh!"

Al sighed. "Would you do it for an Edo Munchie?" He pulled out a bag of little cookies all in the shape of a chibi Ed. I want one! Ed bobbed his head and smiled; Al picked out one of the Edo Munchies and gave it to Ed, who devoured it greedily. This is a parody of Scooby Doo, by the way.

Ed's clothes then randomly appeared back on him, attached with a little note. Ed blinked, picked it off him and read it out loud. "'Mystery solved, it was all your imagination, yay for you' ..."

"Okay, that was a bit lame..."

"Completely...err...poetry...ahem...I did prepare a poem for this part." Ed blushed the slightest bit, making the fangirls go squee, and stared at the ground, poking his index fingers together. Al smiled. "Okay, say it!"

"Roses are red, violets are blue, wtf are you talking about, violets are violets you dumbass shit-nugget!" He yelled and grinned proudly. Al blinked. I stole the shit-nugget line from my sister Kiyoko.

"Sci-Fi's next!" Al grabbed Ed's arm and pulled back the sleeve, revealing his automail. "That's scientific, it's all roboty and stuff, plus it's fiction...same with alchemy. Do we need to explain it any more?"

"Don't think we do...and let go of my arm!" He tugged his arm away and fixed his sleeve. "Spiritual...how exactly do we explain that? Ayumi hasn't done it yet..."

Al pondered. "I guess it has to be all religious and stuff...that doesn't key in with Full Metal Alchemist all that much..."

Ed shrugged. "And that's why it's fanfiction..."

"Oh, right..."

"Okay!" Ed yawned the slightest bit. "Supernatural is like-"

"Hi kids!" Trisha's ghost appeared in front of them. The both of them fell to the ground going "Gah!"

"Mom, is that really you??" Ed asked in wonderment.

Trisha cleared her throat. "Noooooooo, I'm a ghooooooost, fear me because I'm scary, ooooooooooo!!!!" She waved her hands around in the air. They both stared at her. She sweatdropped. "Um...yeah..." She went poof.

"Ayumi, you seriously gotta get some sleep and stop making crappy examples of genres." Ed deadpanned. You don't think I know that already!?

"Suspense!" Al didn't feel like acting this one out, just to spare me. "That's like something really unexpected happening in a movie, and then the commercials start while you sit there going 'NO! WHY NOW!?'"

Ed nodded in agreement. "Tragedy! Uhh...really emo stuff?"

"Yeah...like...um...in one of Ayumi's fanfics, you killing everyone you know just to falsely avenge my death is pretty tragic, I guess." Al blanched slightly. "Although, I'd appreciate it if you don't become an insane murderer for my sake...or for anyone's..."

"I'm insane!? You killed me and stole my body in one of those Shadows Within oneshot things!" Ed yelled.

"Well, you killed that one old lady with Mom and never told me about it in that other oneshot!" Al yelled back.

"You beat me up for no reason in Rain! Wait, no...did you?"

"I dunno...but you implanted some demon gate baby into my body that's probably gonna do bad things but we don't know because Ayumi didn't update that story since chapter three..."

"Yeah, well you-...ya know, I'm starting to think we're only advertising her other fanfictions to everybody..." Ed muttered. Al blinked. "Now that I think about it...I tihnk you're right!"

Damn, I was found out...and I made a typo that I'm too lazy to fix...

"Um, western...I don't get this one...is it cowboy or just western like America?" Ed wondered aloud.

"Which one will be more fun to act out?" Al smiled slightly and put on a cowboy hat. "Well, I'll be darned! Yee-haw!"

Ed clicked a picture and put it on Photobucket, and Al whined about it. I mumbled something no one heard and wrote about it anyway, and my little sister said something in her sleep again...

"And now the moment I've been dreading from the start...romance..." Ed groaned. Al looked terrified. "W-wait! Can't we bring out someone else for this part!?"

"No can do, this is our segment and Ayumi's trying to prove a point by not making the romance segment with me and her." Ed pushed Al gently against the wall that was randomly there and smiled seductively, staring lustfully at him with his eyes half lidded. Al looked terrified. "Wait, Brother! Why're you looking at me like that!?"

Ed giggled in a very non-manly way. "Oh, you're so cute, come here you..." He took Al's chin in his hand and made him look at him, leaning his face forward.

"Brother, no, this is way too weird! This isn't right! Don't!" Al squeaked weakly. Ed just smirked in a very sexy way. "Oh, come on, Alphonse, I just want to play with my little brother..." He pulled away the slightest bit, tugging on his sleeve a little bit, revealing some of his manly chest (lol). "Unless you don't like my body..." He drawled with a cute pout. Al was too shocked to answer, and Ed just continued to do what he was just doing.

Al's face turned red as Ed's lips got closer to his own. "A-ah!? Brother...!"

Ed smacked himself in the face and ran away a few feet, cursing at himself. Al stared, wide eyed. "That was disgusting! I am never, ever doing that again, you hear me, Ayumi!!!!" He shook his fist at the computer screen, but I was too preoccupied being disgusted that for a second there, I had written shounen ai, even though that would've made a sexilicious picture. Ed continued to rant while chewing on a bar of Irish Spring soap, and Al just stared with his jaw dropped that he was almost kissed by his older brother, thus scarring him for the rest of his life and dooming himself to nightmares about this very moment. I was just reminded of that one episode of Inuyasha when Inu-kun was put on some spell and was acting the same way Ed just did and chuckled to myself. Then I ran out of genres to talk about and just stopped writing...
