fma_fic_contest "Turn a Cliche on its Head" prompt back in November, only for me to being sick and unable to get it done. The community then went ahead and use the prompt again last month. I finished it, but didn't like it and instead did a different story for the prompt. When Suzume revealed the prompts for this community, though, I decided to polish it up a bit and post it here. Unbetaed, so you guys can point out any awkward sentences if you want.
( Ed? What the hell are you doing here? )
