Hello!

This chapter has updated so no more Holly not being vegetarian!

Disclaimer: I do not own Artemis fowl, if I did, I would currently be making the movie.

The moon shone high in the sky Artemis hummed a merry christmas tune as he carefully wrapped his presents to his family, and more importantly, his present for Holly.

He finished the tune with a series of whistles and wrapped slightly faster than before.

His window suddenly flew open and cold wintery air gusted in, as well as a certain female LEPrecon captain.

"Hello Holly" greeted Artemis "Nice to see you."

"Same here."

Artemis quickly hid his present for Holly under his desk and speedily finished wrapping the rest of the presents.

Suddenly there was a knocking at the door.

Artemis hurriedly opened the door, on the other side was Butler.

"Artemis, your mother wants you to come down for dinner." Said Butler

Artemis nodded his head "Thank you Butler."

He then turned to Holly, "Shall we go down for dinner?"

"Sure." she replied cheerily.

Butler quickly walked down the stairs, probably hungry for Ms Fowl's cooking.

"I'm starving, what are we having?" Holly asked, just before exiting Artemis' study.

"I believe it is roast duck with mashed potatoes and gravy," He replied. "And maybe there was a plate of broccoli and a salad, I did not get a vey good look."

"Sounds very tasty." said Holly "I can almost taste it."

They both exited Artemis' study and headed down the stairs.

They did not notice a certain Myles and Beckett Fowl hiding under Artemis' bed.

Dinner was very lively with all the conversation, but the best part of it was the roast duck with the mashed potatoes.

Nobody could refrain from piling a ton on their plate, except Holly who only ate the salad, potatoes and broccoli.

Dessert was the absolute best, it was chocolate cake with a small portion of vanilla ice cream on top.

"Well that was one of the best dinners I have had in a long time" said Holly who enjoyed the very delicious salad, potatoes and broccoli.

"I have to agree." said Artemis.

Everyone else either nodded their heads or said "I agree as well."

"I believe it is time to retire." said Artemis and stood up from his chair, "Good night everyone."

"I think I shall sleep too." Agreed Holly.

"I'll escort you to your room then Holly."

They walked down a fairly long hallway and finally opened the door to her room.

It already had the suitcases she had brought a month earlier so it would not be a hassle when she came.

"Goodnight Holly."

"'night Arty."

'I really do not enjoy it when people call me that.' he thought to himself as he shut the door closed.

He walked up to his room and lay down on his bed and quickly fell asleep.

Little did he know that his present now sat on top of his desk.

'Perfect' thought one particular Myles Fowl.

Sorry that this chapter was short but I'm slightly tired from today.

Anyway R&R my good readers!
