This World…What the Heck?!
Thank you for taking our time to read this fanfiction! This is set towards the beginning of the show, towards about where the anime and the manga branch off. Sorry if Ed and Vic are a little out of character. No real pairings, (unless you count Vic and Michele, his fiancée) unless Winry comes in later, but I haven't decided totally on that...
Warning: Rated T for Ed's vocabulary and some violence in latter chapters.
Point of View (POV): A first person fanfic through the eyes of Ed and Vic in switching chapters. First few will be Ed's, then the next few will be in Vic's, and so forth.
Summary: Ed gets transported to a time and place where no one he knows has never been, or even knew that it existed, with new surprises and someone that he never expected to see named Vic Mignogna…

Chapter 1- Welcome to Seattle
Opening my eyes, I blinked with all the light coming to his vision, until I could really look around. I was in a dark alleyway, in between two buildings, both made of dark red brick. I sat up, rubbing my forehead. "Damn it. How did we get here Al? Alphonse? Al!? Crap!" I said, looking around to not see my brother around at all. Standing up, I dusted off the dirt on my red coat and black pants, and went deep in thought.
Damn it, Damn it, DAMN IT! Why the hell am I here all of a sudden? I saw Scar and he started attacking me, then a bright light came and now I am in this weird place! Alphonse isn't even here with me! Wait; was it alchemy that brought me here? I better check that my alchemy still works…
I took my right glove off, revealing an automail hand that could have only been crafted by an expert. I clapped my hands, hearing the echo, and placed my left hand on my right arm. A blade protruded the arm, with some blue electricity sparking a little after it finished transmuting. I smirked, knowing that my alchemy still works. I clapped again, and returned the arm back to its original state.
Noises of cars and people at the end of the alley protruded my ears, so I put the glove back on, and walked down to the end. With each second passing, I started to consider that I might not be in Central. Central isn't this loud… I thought. When coming out of the alleyway, my jaw dropped.
Huge buildings that were taller than Central Command and the National Central Library combined loomed over me. One building that looked like a needle with a cap on top and that was sort of bent stood towards the distance taller than all the other buildings. I gazed in awe, with people walking around and more cars than I can count passing by. "What the hell? Where am I?" I whispered.
"Hey!" someone yelled to my left. Turning, I saw two people standing by a sign that looked like it was for a bus stop. One was a boy in a powder blue school uniform, black tie, with short blonde hair, and a red rose on his uniform jacket, next to an emblem that had an 'O' and an 'R'. To the right or him was a girl in the same uniform, with short brown hair, and looked kind of like a boy, though still noticeable to be called a girl. "Nice cosplay, are you going to the convention?" the guy asked.
"Wha-where am I?" I asked, flustered. "… Uh, you're in Seattle? What, do you have amnesia or something?" the other person asked, definitely sounding like a girl and confirming her gender. Frowning, I said, looking them up and down "who are you supposed to be; two rich kids from an academy or something?" The boy in the uniform sneezed then the girl said, "Bless your face Dave."
"Thanks sis, bless you. I am cosplaying as Tamaki Suoh, but my real name is Dave. This is my sister cosplaying as Haruhi Fujioka, but her real name is Jana. As you guessed, we're cosplaying from the anime Ouran High School Host Club."
"Well I am Ed." I said, crossing my arms. If I am in another world or different time, I better keep my profile low. They might not even know what alchemy is… Jana giggled. "I can see that" she said. I looked at her confused, but shook it off. "So, where are you going?" I asked, trying to sound like I knew where I was.
"We're goin' to Sakura Con at the Convention Center. Are you coming too? We are going to meet Vic Mignogna. We missed Tara Strong yesterday because of sleeping in" Jana said, glaring at Dave. "Dave is a big fan of Vic, so he dressed up as Tamaki. Looks like you dressed up to meet him too, huh? Come on, the bus is coming" Jana said.
I sighed, not knowing where 'Seattle' was, and wondering if I should follow them or not. I have to get back to Al. If there is any clue on how I can get back to Al, then I better go with them. They might know something.
I walked up towards them, and frowned, seeing that both the girl and the boy were taller; Jana being four to six inches with Dave being about a foot. Jana then leaned into Dave and whispered into his ear loud enough for me to hear, "He's shorter than I expected..." Like a bomb thrown into a fire, I got pissed off instantly.
"WHO ARE YOU CALLING A PIPSQUEAK MIDGET WHO IS SO SMALL GETS LOST IN A SALT SHAKER AND CAN NEVER IN HIS LIFE GROW TALLER THAN A BEANSPROUT?!" I yelled, getting both the boy and the girl to look scared for their lives for five seconds. Then, they both started to… laugh.
"…AHAHAHAHAHA! THAT WAS A CLASSIC! DO THAT AGAIN! YOU SOUND JUST LIKE ED!" Dave said, laughing at me, but before I could say another round of my rants, what he said got me confused. "Wait, what do you mean by 'you sound just like Ed'?" Dave continued to laugh, bent over and leaning on the corner of the alley, but Jana stopped, and looked at me confused. "Don't you know who you're cosplaying as? You know, Edward Elric the Fullmetal Alchemist?"
I gapped at her statement. WHAT? How the hell does she know who I am? I never told her my last name, or my State Alchemist nickname! …The only logical explanation is that maybe they know me from rumors. I am famous. I closed my mouth, blinked, and decided to play dumb for the time wellbeing. "Uh…Yeah, of course! I am the Fullmetal Alchemist! Did you say before that I had amnesia? You're right, I do have that. More short term memory loss," I said, scratching the back of my head. Jana's eyes then transformed from a confused look to a look of pity.
"Aww! You poor thing! Wait; are you the sixteen year old Ed or the twelve year old Ed? I am not sure because he looks the same almost the whole show…" she said, trailing off. "I'm fifteen almost sixteen!" I retorted, crossing my arms. Jana giggled, and then said "you're cute." My face flushed, and my mouth opened with nothing to say.
"Jana Ann Smith! Shame on you! Me being your older brother, I will not let you say those things aloud! You just met each other, and he is four years younger than you! You pedobear!" Dave said, who had finally stopped laughing, slapped her arm. "Sorry Ed…" she said. My mouth was still open, when I saw the bus. It stopped on the road, and Jana grabbed my arm pulling me into the bus with Dave following.
Well that's the end of the first chapter. Hope you liked it! Send a review in of what you think. Thanks for reading, and may your pencils stay sharp!
