Trapped (An FMA fanfic) Part 1

My school is composed of five districts.

On top, there are the prom kings and queens, the most popular in all the student body.
The second level is made up of the other popular people such as the jocks and the cheerleaders.
Third level is made up of people who aren't popular, but still have it good.
The fourth are the unfortunate new students that are awaiting their placement in one of the districts.
And then there's number five. The worst classification to be in.

The fifth level are the outcasts, the poor students being bullied by the first, second, and half of the third sections. It was the hell of high school. They pretty much the most laughed upon, not by jokes. The members of the fifth level are the targets for others to choose.

I think of it as part of the medieval times.
The king and the queen.
The nobles and lords.
The soldiers.
The traveling merchants.
And lastly, the peasants.

I was a peasant. Part of the fifth district. So, that meant that I was one to be bullied. To tell you the truth, I might be one of the most bullied in the entire high school kingdom. But, there's one thing that the population of the fifth that all the others didn't.
True feeling. You see, the people who I'm ranked with are some of the nicest people I know. They all are different. There is a boy who is bullied about being obese, for example. Yet, he is sweet and can openly understand anyone's feelings.

Another example is a girl that isn't very attractive, yet is very open to others and very intelligent; she would be a perfect therapist.
Me? I'm extremely loyal and always keep my word. No matter what, I would always be there to back up my friends.

I'm Tori. I guess I should of said that sometime during the beginning. I'm not going to say my last name. I don't really know you, so...
Whatever, whatever. I'm getting off track. This is a story about how my whole life got changed on a lazy evening watching my favorite anime of all time:
Fullmetal Alchemist.

Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood. Episode 15, English subbed.
That was the episode we were on during a weekend marathon of Fullmetal Alchemist with my friends. It was a Saturday, somewhere around 10 PM. I guess it was a party if you count cookies and soda while giggling about our favorite characters. Well, a geek party. In my opinion, it's the best kind of party.

"Is it just me, or does the Silver Alchemist look like the Monopoly man?" my friend, Suz, asked.
"Nah, you're not alone." Cara, another friend, replied.
I grinned slyly. "He's a State Alchemist. Hell, he's probably the Monopoly man of Amestris. Imagine. Families everywhere in the country playing a board game called 'Silvopoly". You buy pieces of countries and get a sexy mustache for passing 'GO'."
We all started cracking up. Even though I thought I had bad humor, it certainly pleased my friends.

Halfway through the thing, Cara piped up. "Hey, you still have that wishbone from Thanksgiving, right?" she asked. I paused the show, which stopped at Ling's sexy face. "I think I do. Why?" I replied, raising an eyebrow. I caught on a few seconds later. "Cara, you DO know the whole wishbone thing is a bunch of shit. Besides, it's for my younger cousins to do."

Suz laughed. "Hey, if I remember, you had two. You also have two younger cousins. They can do it with one. I'm with Cara; it could be fun!" she said, taking a sip of some orange juice.
I sighed as I realized that I was outvoted. I got up from the couch we were on and went into the kitchen. Since didn't want to disappoint my cousins with a puny one, I took the smallest.
I went back in, holding it in my right hand.

"Okay, what crap do you want to wish for?" I asked, somewhat bored. Cara grinned, then put a finger to her lips. "I'm not telling~! It'll be bad luck."
"You really are too superstitious..." I murmured, holding the wishbone to her. She took a side. "Do you both have your wish ready?" Suz asked. Rolling my eyes, I nodded.

I decided to just wish for ten dollars or something.
"Okay... Ready.. Steady... GO!"
Snap!
Looking to my half, I got... The smaller piece. Cara held hers in my face. "I guess my wish will come true!"
"Cara, don't shove a turkey bone in my face!" I said, swatting her hand away. Suz and Cara started laughing, and I joined in seconds later. "So, what did you wish for?" Suz asked. I looked to Cara with curiosity in my eyes, also eager to know for some reason.

"Well... I wished for us all to be apart of FMA Brotherhood!"
I gave her a puzzled look, then cackled. "Dude, I don't think that could happen. Besides, wishbones aren't exactly that trustworthy when it comes to things like wishes and shit."

"Sorry, but I'll have to agree with Tori on that." Suz said. I then took the two halves and chucked them to the trash. "But, it's a fun thought!" she decided to add. That's true, but it seemed a little far fetched to become real. Truthfully, I believed more in logic then magic.

Looking at the time, I could see that it was going on midnight. "Okay, we should turn in for tonight. Besides, I'm tired and I don't exactly wanna keep on the idea, no offense."
With that said, Cara and Suz both nodded and crawled into their sleeping bags as I climbed into my bed.
I was out as soon as I touched my pillow.

The light of the sunrise was what awoke me from my slumber. It was a surprise for me, actually. Mainly because I always block morning sunlight with a blanket so it wouldn't wake me up as it did now. With an annoyed groan, I turned the other way only to find that the other side of my bed had a fabric wall that felt the same as my bed. When I opened my eyes, I noticed five things:

1. I'm not in my my bed, but on a couch.

2. My annoying alarm clock didn't go off.

3. I felt more refreshed then usual (Which was rare for me).

4. I seemed to be in some sort of hotel.

5. I'm EXTREMELY hungry.

Sitting up, I decided to use process of elimination to find out what was going on. Maybe I was on a school field trip to somewhere? Nah, there wasn't anything about a long term field trip being announced at school in the first place. Maybe my parents and I were going on a vacation somewhere? No, it's a school day and friends were over. Plus, they'd never have me sleep on the couch in any hotel (Even though it WAS pretty comfortable).

Which reminds me... Where exactly were my parents? "Mom? Dad? Are you h-"
I stopped.
The voice that I had just spoken with was not my own. It seemed more... Masculine. Maybe I needed some water... Yeah, water. Getting up from the couch, I lazily went to the direction of where I assumed was the bathroom. Once I got inside, I could see some paper cups. Guess other people get the same idea when they're thirsty. I grabbed one and started filling it up with some cold water, when I stopped cold. At the corner of my eye, I saw someone familiar in front of me inside the mirror.

Who I was staring face-to-face with... Was Ling.
Ling.
From Fullmetal Alchemist.

Instead of drinking the water, I splashed it on my face. As I felt its cool feel flow down my face, I was still seeing him in the mirror. Only, his face was also wet... And holding a paper cup. I started to panic.

"Wh-what's going on?!" I demanded to the reflection, only to see him make my exact movements. I ran out of the restroom only to bump into a large metal mass. Only...
"Ling? What's the matter?" a voice echoed from it. I'd know that metallic voice anywhere. Looking up, I almost pissed myself.
Was that... Al's armor? Alphonse ELRIC?!

If my mouth weren't gaping like a fish, I would scream.

"What's going on with that damn idiot prince this time..?"
Glancing slightly to the left, I saw... "E-EDWARD ELIRC?!"
Edward just stared. "Uh, yeah. I know my own name, dumbass. And you've known it for a while." he said. I was beginning to freak out. What was happening to me?! Am I dreaming?! No, it's too REAL to be a dream! Oh god, oh god, OH GOD!

Without thinking, I pushed them both aside and made for the window. When some of my sanity said it was a bad idea, I was already falling down a two story hotel. Somehow, I managed to land like a cat. But, that did NOT mean I was gonna go back. I just dashed off into whatever town I was in without any second thoughts.
