(A/N) Hellofellow air breathers. Tis me, CherryBlossomedHeart. Kay, Envy's Random Day of Evil was VERY successful, however my lame other fic is discontinued due to lack of ratings and lack of inspiration. Alrighty, this fic is a AU I've never written an AUtechnically ever so I'm just trying this out. If you give me good ratings and reviews then I shall continue it, but as for now it is a pilot. Enjoy fanfictionfriends!

Winry Rockbell was a twenty-one year old student at the Memorial University of Central. Her trade was mechanics, an odd job for a beautiful young woman like herself, but in a family of doctors and one grandmother who rocked the mechanical world, she had chosen to follow her grandmother's footsteps. She wasn't a very well known student, she basically wentto class and then to work, then her apartment. Her parents and friends claimed she was a workaholic, no prior social life to high school, they all agreed that it was not in the best interest of a young woman to be stuck in books and study all day. However, Winry saw no problem in it. Work was her life, mechanics was her muse. She always went to bed with a smile. To Winry, her life was well mapped out, and she needed nothing more.

That's what she thought at least. You see, no social life prior to high school. But there was this social life she had many years before. Years before she had long forgotten, for she had no interest in remembering the past. There's this magical thing. It's called fate. Fate happens to all of us, and it just so happens that it was Winry's turn.

It happened that day.

'Thank God, class is over!' Winry thought as she stepped out of the Mechanics Building. She stepped gently on the campus's sidewalk and began walking in mirth towards her apartment. She had no work that evening and she couldn't wait for a night of solitude. She closed her eyes as she allowed the early afternoon sun warm her. Then suddenly she was hit by fate. Literally hit.

Winry spun backwards and onto her stomach with a scream of surprise. Someone cradled themselves loosely over her as she saw books sprawled in front of her. She soon looked up to see a man around her age, with golden eyes and long hair that matched, he blushed and looked stressed.

"Oh shit, I am so sorry Miss!" the man said as he got up off of Winry. He then began picking up his books, embarrassed.

She smiled sweetly and chuckled. "It's alright, it happens to the best of us," she then turned onto her knees and began helping the search for the man's books.

At a particular moment, none of the two thought, and reached for the same book. Winry gazed up lightly as the man gaped from above. His cheeks shaded a lovely pink as he smiled kindly but awkwardly at her. She smiled back as he let the book go. He then gently took her hand into his own and pulled her up as she brought the book up with her.

"I'm Edward."

"I'm Winry."

Winry looked down at the book sheepishly. She read allowed the title. "'Understanding of Alchemy,' wow the dead science," she said as she passed him his book.

His eyes met hers again as he smiled. "What can I say, I enjoy fairytales."

"I had a friend of mine growing up, and he used to tell me all about it. Are you studying to be an alchemist?" she asked sarcastically.

"No," he laughed. "It's a personal study. I enjoy reading up on it."

"So what are you studying here then?"

"Depends, what are you studying?"

Bang. Their hearts collided.

"Mechanics, I want to be a mechanic. Now you?" replied Winry.

"Physics," she gave him a dumb look. "I want to be an engineer."

They were both silent for a moment. No one knew what they should do next. Winry was interested in getting to know Edward, but was Edward interested in getting to know her?

Edward interrupted her thoughts. "Are you busy tomorrow night?"

She looked over to him and blushed crimson. "I-uh...No, I'm free."

He smiled a wry and content smile. "By any chance would you be interested in going out for diner with me then?"

She looked down with modesty and a twinkle rose in her eye as she formed her words carefully as not to scare Edward off. "Yes..." she thought a moment then grabbed a pen out of her pocket. She carefully took his hand in hers and scribbled her apartment's digits. "Call me."

Edward grinned and then deflated. "Oh my God! I'm late for class, sorry about running into you!" he then took off towards the science building. He looked back and waved. "Talk to you later Winry!"

Her eyes softened as she remembered the way her name rolled off his tongue. It reminded her of an old time when she knew people she didn't know anymore. She sighed and smiled, she was going on a date!
