FLASHBACK
FLASHBACK
As they walked up towards the building, they could see people outside, some were dressed in costumes and others were not. Edward and Al stared.
”Al this place is kind of weird.” Ed whispered to Al.
Then the group walked into the building, the building was large with a great big floor in the middle, and filling it was many little stands selling things, and along the edges were seats and tables were people could sit, and other doors that lead to a different room.
”Well this is Kiwi Con.” Ashuri said with her arms up in the air.
”Thank you, for showing us the way.” Al said with a little bow.
Then all of a sudden another girl popped out of no where behind the girls. She took them into a big hug, she was wearing jeans and a T-shirt with Al’s blood seal, the girl also had brunet hair, and she was wearing a silver hat.
”KAYAL!!!” Asako, Roxanne, and Ashuri said in unison.
The first thing that the boys noticed about Kayal was that she had Al’s blood seal on her shirt, so Edward couldn’t help, but ask, in a very spazzy matter.
“HOW THE HELL DID YOU GET THAT SYMBOL?!?!?!” Edward screamed, as he pointed at Kayal’s shirt.
“O this, it’s from Fullmetal Alchemist, you two of all people should know!” Kayal said at the two.
”THE WHAT?!?!” Edward responded.
Kayal stared with confusion.
”These two are really into their cosplay Kayal, when we asked them their names they said Edward and Al.” Roxanne said to Kayal while Edward and Al could still hear.
”It’s true those are our real names.” Al said to defend him and his brother.
”SUURREE!” Ashuri said in a sarcastic remark.
The boys were truly confused.
”If you guys are the real Edward and Alphonse Elric, then show use that Al is really empty and that Edward has automail for his right arm and left leg.” Asako said looking at the boys.
Edward and Al were really confused now, how could these girls know about something like that, and should they show them? Al and Ed gave up, some other people already know, like these girls were going to tell. So Ed lifted up his sleeve of his right arm to show his automail and Al lifted off his helmet. As they were doing such actions some over obsessed fan girls saw.
”O MY GOD!! IT’S THE REAL EDWARD AND ALPHONSE ELRIC!!!!” A fan girl screamed at the top of her lungs.
Then a mob of the crazed obsessed fangirls ran over to Edward and Al they tackled them to the ground.
”I GOT EDWARD’S COAT!!!” One of the crazed fan girls said as she escaped the mob to run off with her prize, all the fan girls then ran after her.
The girls walked toward the boys to help them up. The boys stood up with out help Edward dusted him self off, but he had deer in the head lights look on his face.
”WHAT WAS THAT?!?!? I MEANT THEY JUST CAME OUT OF NO WHERE….AND HOW COME THEY KNOW OUR NAMES?!?!?” Edward screamed in a panic.
The girls looked cool calm and collected on the outside, but on the inside they were spazzing, for they realized that these were the real Edward and Alphonse Elric. Ashuri was wondering ‘how could all of these things be possible?’
“Well look!” Asako said as she pointed at a big banner that was hanging above them said ‘Fullmetal Alchemist.’ It had Edward, Al, Mustang, and Winry on the banner. The boys looked up in shock.
”But what does all this mean?” Al asked.
”It’s a T.V. show, you know the television right?” Ashuri asked.
”A what?” Edward asked.
Asako leaned over to Ashuri, and whispered “Think about it they are from the time television did not exist!”
Edward and Al were confused as ever.
”Well come on you guys don’t need to worry about it.” Roxanne said, Ashuri and Asako were surprised that she said some thing without spazzing.
“Omg, there goes ERIC VALE!!” Asako spazzed as she ran over to where his panel was going to be held.
”ASAKO!” Ashuri screamed “Ah, darn, well come on Roxanne looks like we have a panel to sit through.” Ashuri didn’t mind in fact sometimes she was just as a spazzy as Asako was when it came to VAs. “You two will be ok by yourselves right? It’s not that big of place.” Ashuri asked the boys.
”Will be fine, we just need to do some research.” Edward said as he made sure that no other fangirls were going to attack him.
”Ok, well see ya later!” Roxanne said as she grabbed Ashuri by the hand, then Ashuri grabbed Kayal’s hand, and they went to where Asako had fled.
As the girls left the boys walked through this big room where there were stands all over the place and people selling things.
”Hey Ed, this is just like an indoor market.” Al mentioned as the boys went through.
”Yeah well this place is still weird, I mean think about it, they know us, they actually know us, and what is this televisions they mentioned, no wonder Mustang wanted us to check this place out.” Edward said as he also strolled through.
Just then a women with short pink hair and a T-shirt that said Kiwi Con Volunteer walked next to Edward, she noticed the short one.
”O my god, you two are late for the masquerade.” The pink haired lady said. She then grabbed Edward’s arm and Al’s arm, she dragged them to a large room where there was a big stage and the room was full of people.
On the large stage people dressed up in characters from their favorite anime, what the boys didn’t know was that now they were going to join the other people. The pink haired lady then took the two to this back stage area. Just as she did another women was waiting back stage she also had on the same volunteer shirt as the pink haired lady one had one. Except she had long blond hair.
”Oh my, looks like we got two more, well you two are just in time the FMA category is just starting. What are your names and who made your costumes?” The blond lady said.
“What? I’ve always worn this.” Edward said.
The blond lady just rolled her eyes, and looked at the sheet. “Your names?” She asked.
“Edward and Alphonse Elric.” Edward said.
She laughed “No you real names.”
“I TOLD YOU!” Edward said not wanting to argue with this again.
”Fine.” She then noticed that the FMA category was almost done. “Well looks like you guys are up.” She then pushed the too onto the stage.
What Edward and Al saw a huge crowed before them. Then they looked to the lady on the side of the stage, she motioned them to walk the stage. Well the two did just that with confused look on their faces they went in a circle and walked off.
”What the hell was that?” Edward asked his brother.
”I don’t know, lets just go, do you have enough information for your report for Mustang?” Al asked Ed.
”Yeah, besides….this place gives me the creeps.” He said as a kid dressed up as him walked right past him.
”Well then lets go.” Al said pulling his brother towards the exit. Then the blond haired lady stopped them in their tracks.
”Where do you think you are going?” She asked. “The awards are going to be passed out soon.” She told them.
Edward and Al sighed.
”Hurry your needed on stage.” She said as she rushed them back on,
The two saw all these people crowded on the stage, and a person was holding a microphone. The person was the purple haired boy who was also wearing a volunteer shirt.
”Ok the Judges and I have decided the winners for best costume, and it goes to….” He looked at the card in his hand “Edward and Al Elric.” Of course by saying this many cosplayers came to take the prize, Ed and Al however were trying to get off the stage but the blond lady didn’t let them.
”Ok those guys in the corner!” The purple hair guy said as he pointed to Edward and Al. “Come over here and get your prize.” He said holding up a convention T-shirts and ribbons.
Edward and Al walked over to get their prizes as they did the crazed fan girls that attacked them before was in the audience.
”OMG THEIR BACK!!! GET’EM” one of the screamed, then a whole bunch of them ran up and trampled Edward and Al again a big mob was surrounding Edward and when the crowd cleared Edward was gone and Al was in the field position.
”WHERE DID HE GO?!?!” Al asked noticing his brother’s disappearance. He then ran off stage and out back to the main room where they first were. Edward was no where to be seen.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~SOMEWHERE DARK AND SECRETIVE~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“MWHAHAHAHA WE FINALLY DID IT WE CAPTURED EDWARD ELRIC!!!” A fan girl screamed in an evil voice as she looked over Edward.
Edward was strapped to a table as a big laser gun machine was over his head. “WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!?!” He screamed trying to get free, but they had him so he couldn’t clap or anything.
The girls didn’t answer. Then the same girl that was peering over him was by a switch “Ok girls looks like were ready.” She threw the switch and the machine lit up and made beeping sounds. Then a big light came out of it, and hit Edward. It caused a lot of smoke and when it cleared, Edward was a chibi sized.
Since he was chibi sized he was able to get out of the rigging they had him tied up and he was running through the main room. Since he was so small no one could really see him, so he had to make sure he wouldn’t get stepped on, then as he made sure no one was following him, he ran right in to a leg of a table. Edward was out like a light. The last thing Edward saw and herd, was this short guy with dirty blond hair, and it sounded just like him.
It just so happened that it was Vic Mignogna, he was sitting at the table, talking and signing things for fans.
That was the last thing Edward saw and herd before he woke up in the big office, were he found himself chibi sized.
