Title: A Reversal Of Roles

Edward Elric sighed as he looked at the clock. His third seat should be back soon from briefing the new recruits. And then he could go home.

"Don't even think about it, taichou."

Ed glared at Riza Hawkeye. "How do you even know what I'm talking about? Prove it."

"You want to go home after Minuko gets back. Fat chance. You are going to stay here and finish that stack. Unless of course you miraculously manage to finish it before he reports in."

Ed sighed again and reached for a paper on the top.

Fifteen minutes later, the list was in. Ed looked over it. He had seen some of them sparring at the Academy. They would make great assets to Fifth Division.

At the bottom of the list Minuko had scribbled, 1 recruit missing. Of no great consequence.

Another hour had passed, and Ed was almost done. At another desk, Hawkeye was working diligently. Ed sat back. "You know, I think I've done enough for today. I've worked my ass off. Bye then."

Suddenly one of Hawkeye's short throwing zanpuktos was embedded directly above his head. "Finish the paperwork taichou."

Ed folded his arms. "I am your commanding officer you know. You technically can't command me to do anything."

"And yet I do all the time. I wonder why that is?"

"Anyway, I'm leaving."

"No slacking in Fifth Division!"

"I'm LEAVING!"

"That's FIVE MORE SIGNATURES! You'll LIVE!"

"IF YOU HAVEN'T NOTICED, NOT ONLY AM I TALLER THEN HITSUGAYA-TAICHOU, I ALSO DON'T HAVE HIS THIRST FOR PAPERWORK!"

Suddenly there was a noise outside the door that sounded vaguely familiar. "Shinigami recruit reporting for duty! I have no explanation for being tardy!"

Ed sighed. "Come in."

The door flew open to reveal a kneeling black haired man in shinigami garb. He looked up. Edward Elric was sitting in the large chair, Riza Hawkeye standing on the other side with some paperwork in her hand.

Roy Mustang's jaw dropped. A smirk grew on Edward Elric's face as he realized exactly what he could do with this.
