After writing the tale of Hollie &amp; Paul&#039;s first meeting, I found myself liking the idea of exploring their relationship before the "proper" Assistants series started.  I kept coming up with ideas for more stories about just the two of them.  And thus, a side series was born.  ^_^<br /><br />This one, again, was written for a contest.  The theme this time?  "Toys."<br /><br />Enjoy.<br /><br />Mature rating for one minor cuss word.
