A/N: Ok, I'm back once again to offer you, yet another Edxwin fanfic! Getting tired of em? WELL I AM! D
But it's all for a good cause, right? So let's get on with the story since I really have nothing to say. Well maybe I do. We'll get on with the story after the summary and my new disclaimer that just so happens to change every goddamn chapter…
Summary: Winry, a 19 year old auto mail tech, enters a contest for a chance to work along a critically acclaimed author, Pipsqueak!. So one day, after reading the mail, she get's a letter from Alchemyworks Publishing, stating that she won the contest. So the next day, she gets ready for work, but little does she know who her new boss is… -insert evil laugh/smile here-
Disclaimer: I don't own anything in this , I made up this whole Alchemyworks Publishing thing…so maybe it's mine? Idk. But yeah, I don't own anyone or anything. So yeah. xD
*=:.1: New Assistant.:=*
I walked in from picking up the mail. I slowly made my way into the kitchen with the mail tucked under my arm, and Pipsqueak!'s latest book, "The Gate".
I had always been compelled by Pipsqueak!'s books. They all seemed so… real and close to home. And sometimes, it sort of felt like the character "Winry L." was applying to me. Though, how could that possibly happen? I'm just another fan to Pipsqueak! It's sort of as if I don't exist. Just another fuel to feed his fire.
I set my self down at the table and grabbed a bowl out of the cabinet, along with a banana out of the fridge. I made myself some Cinnamon Streusel Frosted Mini Wheat's with banana slices. I walked back to the table and picked up the first envelope that my hand reached. I quickly ate a spoonful of my cereal as I skimmed the outside. Alchemyworks Publishing. I thought for a moment. Why would a world renowned book company, with the most critically acclaimed authors', be sending me a letter? I suck at writing stories, so I'm not authoring material but… I shrugged it off and opened up the envelope. A 3 page letter was stuffed inside. I took it out and read it.
To Winry Rockbell, 11-2-19XX
First we would like to thank you for entering out 'Win a dream job working along side Pipsqueak!' contest.
Thousands have entered, and only one person was chosen.
Well, we are glad to announce to you that YOU have been chosen out of thousands, maybe even millions, to work along side Pipsqueak!
You start working tomorrow. Directions to the Alchemyworks publishing building haven been attached to the end of this letter.
You should be at the office around…
I dropped the letter. Was I just chosen to work along side Pipsqueak!? I picked up the letter again just to be sure I read it correctly.
You have been chosen, out of thousands, maybe even millions, to work along side Pipsqueak!
It took a while, but it finally processed in my mind. I started jumping around excitedly.
"Den! I got a job as Pipsqueak!'s assistant!" I yelled as I approached Den. He only looked up at me with his big brown eyes, and let out a long sigh. "Silly dog…" I bent down in front of him and petted his head softly. "I get to work along side the critically acclaimed author Pipsqueak!"
My eyes widened. "Oh no! I need something to wear!" I got up quickly and raced up the stairs to pick out my outfit for tomorrow.

I woke up extra early, eager to go to work. I swung my feet over the side of the bed and hopped out. I quickly walked into the bathroom and turned on the shower.
Once I finished showering, I quickly got out and dried myself off. I walked over to the mirror and applied two coats of plum colored mascara, to make my eyes look brighter, and a light cherry colored lip-gloss to my lips.
I quickly walked out and tugged on my gray and black striped sporty rugby top, some black tights, and a black short tired skirt. To complete the look, I pulled on some over the knee socks, a belt, and a pair of brown classic boots that went up just below my kneecap. I quickly ran into the bathroom again to curl my hair, to make my look a bit more preppy. I looked at my self in the mirror and smiled. I looked pretty nice.
"Now that that's done, I guess I could go make some breakfast…" I slowly walked downstairs and pulled out a skillet so I could start making my food. I cracked an egg and let it cook, while I sliced an English muffin and some ham. Once the egg finished, I slid it on the slices of ham that covered the bottom half of the muffin, and sprinkled some shredded cheddar cheese on top, before placing the top of the muffin on. I quickly set the plate with the sandwich on the table as I proceeded to slick an orange and pour a glass of milk. A sigh escaped my lips as I looked over the directions to get to the Alchemyworks office. It didn't look to hard…I suppose.
I shrugged as I finished my breakfast. "Den~!" I called out as I grabbed my bad and headed towards the door. "I'll be going to work now! Wish me luck!"

I slowly walked inside of the Alchemyworks Publishing office, taking in everything there was to offer. The floors were made of glass tile, and reflected everything that just barely even touched it. The automated doors were made of a tinted glass, so that passer-bys couldn't see what was going on inside of this very prestigious building. And the counter at the front desk was made of very expensive granite, which seemed to sparkle under the illuminating lights they had strategically placed through out the lobby.
"Hello!" A woman, in her mid twenties, said as I approached the desk. "How may I help you?"
"I uh…" I paused for a second. "Got a job as Pipsqueak!'s new assistant…"
A gasp came from the person who sat new to the one who had just spoken to me. "She's the one?" She whispered and the other one nodded.
She smiled warmly. "Well, I'm Amber by the way, and she's Anna." She walked out from behind the counter. "Now, if you don't mind… Right this way, Ms. Rockbell…" She led me through many different rooms and up a few floors, pointing things out every now and then, before stopping in front of a set of large double doors. "Pipsqueak! is right past these doors…" She said softly before she left.
I let out a sigh as I placed my hand on the door handle. It was either now or never. I braced my self as I slowly opened the door. I was greeted by the scene of a pretty normal looking office, the typical desk, with an over sized chair, with it's back turned towards me, behind it. "Um… Hello…?" I called out, unsure of what to do.
"Hello…" A vaguely familiar voice replied. "And who might you be…?"
"Your new assistant Pipsqueak! sir…"
"WHO ARE YOU CALLING SO SMALL THAT HE CAN'T EVEN GO TO THE BEACH BECAUSE HE'D SINK INTO THE SAND AND WHEN THE TIDE COMES IN, HE WOULDN'T WORRY ABOUT DROWING, BECAYSE HE'S SO MICROSCOPIC HE CAN BREATH OUT OF A MOLECULE OF WATER!?!?!?!?!?" The voice behind the chair retorted.
Could it be…? No. It couldn't. I dismissed my thoughts with a shake of my head. "I'm sorry…"
"No…No…. It's ok." He paused. "What is you're name?" The chair slowly turned around, revealing a short blonde with golden orbs. His smirk was soon replaced with a shocked expression. "Winry…?"
My eyes widened in shock and I took a step back. So, this whole entire time, Pipsqueak! was… "Edward…?" I choke out.
A/N: So, how'd you like that? Just like, came to me randomly…you know…cuz I was like bored…and I must note… That whole retort up there….I sorta borrowed it from this one video on YouTube…xD since, you know, it seemed to fit the mood….xD
So uh, let's aim for about 10, and I'll consider writing the next chapter. xD and then, once I finish it, I'll post it up, and then you all can be happy. Deal?
