This story is a result of me and my friend's fandoming. It started out as an idea and blossomed into this.

I HOPE YOU APPROVE, SYMMETRY OTAKU!

Death The Kidd was quite bored.

That was to say, he always was. But now was different.

He'd made sure everything in the house was perfectly symmetrical, twice. He'd talked to Patty and Liz about what they would do to make it even more symmetrical. He'd fantasized about a day when absolutely everything was symmetrical.

But now there was nothing to do.

So, Kidd sat in his room, waiting for something to happen. He stared at the almost-symmetrical sun, then sighed, flopping on his bed.

"Why doesn't anything ever happen? Chichue must have SOMETHING for me to do." He muttered, staring at his ceiling. He rolled over, lying his chin on his pillow.

Kidd stared at the wall for a moment, before sitting up with a sigh.

"PATTY! LIZ!" He called, expecting a reply.

No one answered.

"Helloooooo?" He called into the hallway.

Still no answer.

"Hrm. Wonder where they went. They'd tell me, right?" Kidd frowned, then went back into his room.

Today was going to be a long day.

Edward Elric stared for a moment at the circle he and his brother had just finished creating. He glanced at Al, partially confused. "Er, Al, Why're we doing this again?" Ed questioned, looking at his brother uncertainly. Al smiled. "Because I wanna give Winry something special for her birthday!" He said. "Nii-san, you remembered it was tomorrow, right?"

Ed blinked, then nodded unconvincingly. "Yeah. What're we making her, then?" Al stared at the circle. "It's gonna be a model of a giraffe." He said, glancing back at Edward. Ed stared at Al for a moment. "Why a giraffe..?"

Al stared back. "Because she likes them." Ed frowned. "Er, alright." He muttered. Then the two pressed their hands to the circle, and the reaction started. It was just like the doll they'd made for Winry before, but something wasn't right.

There was a sudden flash of blinding light, and Ed cried out, his eyes burning. He couldn't hear anything else. Al seemed to say something, but his voice was ripped away.

Ed only looked up once the light had faded, and he stared at the form sitting in the middle of the circle.

"A..Al..?"
