Holly's communicator buzzed. It was three in the morning. Holly picked it up.
"WHO THE HECK HAS THE NERVE TO CALL ME AT THREE IN THE MORNING!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!" Then she realized that it was a voice mail from earlier in the morning. When she played it she heard Artemis's voice saying…
"Dear Captain Short, I am pleased to inform you that I am having my 20 birth day party and would be extremely pleased if you would attend. If you would ask mister Foaly he will give you what you will need. Please, attend!" As he finished he gave her a pleading look. Then he flashed his signature vampire smile and said, "If you do it would please me very much." And with that the message ended. Holly put down the communicator. Foaly and Fowl working together… she thought…well doesn't that figure. But even so her heart beat a little faster at the thought of seeing Artemis again, even though she would never tell anyone that…She shook herself as if to banish the thought…then she went and got dressed to go to the LEP HQ…
At LEP HQ…
"FOALY!!!!" shouted Holly "WHAT THE HECK WERE YOU THINKING WORKING WITH FOWL!!!"
"My dear Captain…" said Foaly with mock surprise "I thought you would be overjoyed at the thought of seeing your precious Arty again!" He smirked and handed her a green LEP issue duffel bag. "That's what you will be needing for the party." She took the bag and looked in it. Then she pulled out a green vial and said…
"What is this and why don't I know what it is?"
"That…my dear captain is a growth serum…you do not know about it because your precious Artemis made it." Holly groaned. She had to be a test case for another of Artemis's experiments.
"And that is supposed to make me feel better how?" she sighed, "Where do I change and when is the party?"
"There is a pair of pants and a t-shirt in the bag… you can change in that room over there." He said and pointed at an empty room by the main back door. Then Holly walked into the room. What am I thinking…she thought as she sat in the empty room…Root will have my badge for his! …but you now that this is what you really want…said that annoying voice that happened to be her conscious…Shut up you! …she screamed in her mind. Then she drank the whole potion in one big gulp before she had another chance to come up with another excuse.
A few minutes later Holly came out, Foaly gasped. She was now the size of an average 20 year old mud maid, and even more interesting was the fact that her hair now reached her waist and was poker straight. Holly decided to poke fun.
"Am I that irrisistable that you cant stop stareing at me?"
"You wish." said Foaly and got himself together.
"You should go now or you'll miss the shuttle."
"Okay." Said Holly and left for Fowl manor.
