Yay!~ Another Chapter! Thank you for the positive reviews. :D Mkay this is my OOC-not-at-all-related-to-the-story-just-for-fun-fan-girl-mary-sueish fan fiction blah blah blah. Reviews are welcome and appreciated and flames are neither welcome nor appreciated.

It seemed like forever until Ai was done sweeping outside. The stairs leading to mansion were huge and took so long to sweep. Ai was ready to rest and laze around once she got inside but apparently maids get no breaks, because right when she walked in Winry stuck her with another job.

Winry shoved a tray into Ai's arms containing a teapot and some cups. She was then ordered by the blonde to walk to eat of the masters rooms and offer them the tea. She warned Ai to always address Edward as "Master" or he will frown at you and be rather displeased. She seemed to have some experience in this happening to her and this thought made Ai giggle. The brunette nodded and did what she was told. At least this job required little to no effort compared to the sweeping she had to do before.

First up was Master Alphonse. Ai nervously walked up to the door of the boy's room and knocked on it sheepishly. She's never met or even seen Alphonse yet, and she was hoping he would be as kind as Winry said he would be.

The door slowly creaked open. A young boy that was a little taller than Ai greeted her and asked her to come in. He had a kind smile, and the two of them had a conversation about the manor, and what to do if she got lost. Winry was right about her first master. He was a kind boy. She didn't mind obeying someone who talked to her like she was an old friend, and not a slave.

Next was Master Edward. Her face turned red just thinking about talking to him. She couldn't mess this up. She had one chance to make a good impression on him, as he was the one who hired her in the first place. She talked to herself quietly while walking to Edwards's room. "Don't mess this up, don't zone out, and most of all, don't drop the tray." If she dropped the flat piece of metal in her hands her face would immediately turn red and she would be embarrassed and show how much of a klutz she was. That was the last thing she wanted to happen.

Ai stopped when she approached a large brown door with fancy designs carved in the front. She took a big breath and knocked on the door loudly. She heard her master's voice say "come in". It was rather quiet and she was worried she was just hearing things. Quickly, she built up the courage to open the door. Slowly, she turned the door knob while gripping the silver tray in her hands.

Edward was seated in front of a large fire place in a leather chair. In his hands was an alchemy text book. He didn't even look back at the maid and Ai didn't want to say anything. He was so focused; she didn't want to disrupt his study session. Then she began to zone out. Stupid Ai. But luckily she quickly realized that she was doing this and snapped out of it rather quickly.

Edward looked up from his book at Ai, waiting for her to say something. Ai panicked and quickly said "M-Master, would you like some tea?" The he smiled at her and answered with a simple "sure" and then focused his attention back on his reading. Ai walked to were her master was sitting, taking precautions on not dropping her tray. She then slowly poured the warm tea into a cup and setting it one the end table beside Edward, making sure not to make any loud sounds as she believed this would ruin his concentration. She then began to walk towards the door feeling accomplished, as she didn't disturb her master. Then she tripped.

There was a rug right before the door that caught on to her shoe. This caused her, and the tray she was holding, to tumble to the ground. Now she blew it. SMASH. All the china on the tray smashed into tiny pieces, and tea spilt everywhere. The loud noise caused Edward to look behind him and Ai knew this, even though her back was turned to him.

Tears began flooding her eyes. She might as well go home now. She held those tears back though, as she promised herself she wouldn't embarrass herself even more by crying. "Are you alright?" a voice said behind her, causing her to stand up quickly. She turned red. "I'm so sorry!" If Ai could have one wish right now, it would be to crawl in a hole and die. "No need to apologize. It was an accident." The young master smiled at Ai. Ai sighed with relief. Maybe she wouldn't get fired after all.

Suddenly Riza appeared in front of the two with a mop. Ai kneeled down and began to pick up the small pieces of the broken cups on the floor. "Ai, I'll do it. You just go get changed, you're a mess." Ai looked at the dress she was wearing. It was covered in hot tea. Thank god her dress was so thick, or the tea would have burned her badly. She shyly looked behind her. Edward was already back in his chair reading. Lady Harris was right about his study habits.

Ai thanked Riza and proceeded downstairs, embarrassed of what just happened. "Smooth move." Winry laughed, then handed her another apron. "I seriously thought I would get fired." "You just started working here. It was just some china. Master isn't that cold hearted." Ai let out a sigh of relief. "Damit." She mumbled to herself. The one thing she told herself not to do, she did. She was almost home free until she had to be a klutz. Stupid Ai.

Right after Ai gave her dirty apron to one of the other maids who was on laundry duty today, she went back to work. First she helped prepare the two masters supper. She carefully cut the vegetables she was told to, this time not being a klutz like before. After supper was over she washed dishes and then dusted the sitting area.

Once she was done all her work she looked at the large grandfather clock on the way to the maid's quarters. It was already eleven at night. The day went by fast; I guess that's a good thing if all you do is boring work.

"Hey, Ai. Can you go alert the masters what time it is? They lose track of time quite easily." Ai really didn't want to do up there again. It was embarrassing to even look at Edward now, but she obeyed Winry and proceeded upstairs and knocked on Al's door.

"Ah, thanks Ai. I was just gonna head to bed." "Okay then. Sweet dreams." Alphonse smiled

Ai grunted. She had that feeling that she wanted to crawl into a hole again. She sighed and knocked on the door shyly. Once she heard the quite "come in" Ai opened the door. Edward was in the same spot as she left him, but with a different book and his tea cup empty. "Erm. I was told to come alert you of the time, master." "Ah, I guess it is pretty late. Thank you." Why was Ai blushing? All he did was say a few simple words to her. She nodded and picked up his tea cup, then walked out of the room and closed the door behind her, this time without falling over. She washed her master's tea cup and headed for the maids quarters.

All the maids even had fancy night gowns that had bows on them and were trimmed in lace. Ai slipped hers on and fumbled to her bed and tried to get some shut eye, which failed as she got engaged in conversation with the other maids.

Constant giggling and gossiping kept Ai up until one in the morning. She felt like a little kid at a slumber party. She was surprised how immature the other maids could be, but she thought it fun and didn't mind at all. Just before Riza to tell them all a story about Roy Mustang, a solider she had met before she had become a maid, Ai remembered that she had to wake up at six which caused her to grown. She mentioned this to the maids and they had seemed to forget too, and decided to put Riza's story on hold and get some shut eye.
