Author's Note: I do not know where I got this idea from. Maybe from a dream, or something I saw on T.V, I don't know. But I wanted to try it out, so tell me what you think!

Epidemic
Chapter One
Holly flew through the cool, Irish air. She loved flying especially if she was flying to see her best friend. Artemis had requested that she come by to see him as soon as she got the chance. During her break, she had gotten a surface pass and immediately headed toward the surface. She flew fast, since her break was only one hour; she did want to waste time enjoying the beauty of Earth when she could be spending it with her best friend.
She was close to the Manor, so she unshielded, took off her helmet, and put it under her arm. The wind ruffled her hair, which had grown a couple of inches in the past few months. It was past her shoulders now and almost reached the middle of her back. She had kept on insisting on getting it cut, but Artemis had said that long hair had somehow fit her style.
Holly flew to the right side of the house, where Artemis's bedroom was. She flew up to the window and knocked. When the window didn't open, she peeked inside and saw no one in room. She knocked a little louder just to see if he was in the far side of the room, where she couldn't see. When no one opened the window again, she flew to the back door.
She flew to the porch and turned off her wings, landing soundlessly on the ground. She peeked inside and saw the twins in front of the T.V, their backs were facing her. Holly put her ear to the cool glass of the door. She couldn't hear the T.V, so the twins should be able to hear her. Hopefully.
She knocked on the sliding glass door and she could have sworn Myles jumped about three feet in the air. Beckett jumped up a little bit, but then got up and ran toward the door. He opened it and jumped on Holly. He gave her one, big bear hug.
"Holly! I'm so happy to see you!" Beckett exclaimed, hugging Holly tighter. Holly laughed a small laugh.
"I'm happy to see you too." Holly said, prying Beckett off of her leg. Myles stood by the door.
"It's a pleasure to see you again Miss Holly." Myles said. He is so much like his brother. Holly thought.
"To you as well Mr. Myles." Holly replied. She stepped inside the house. "So, where's that brother of yours?"
"He is upstairs in his study. He has been very anxious for your arrival." Myles replied. Yep, he is so much like his brother.
"Thank you Myles." Holly said. She walked toward the stairs and the twins went back to their T.V show.
Holly walked down the silent hallway. Artemis's study was near the front of the house, which meant a long walk for her. Of course, she didn't mind. Well, not entirely true. She did mind the fact that it was so quiet. Where ever she went there was always some kind of sound. Weather it was gun shots, the engine of a shuttle, or Trouble yelling at her, there was sound.
Holly was finally glad she could end the silence. She walked up to the study door and was about to knock when the door was opened. Artemis walked out and almost bumped into her.
"Oh! Um, hi!" Holly said, stepping back. "I was about to knock but I guess along with your genius your physic too." Holly laughed.
Artemis smiled. "Actually I was going to my bedroom to get my communicator. I usually wear it, but I seemed to have forgotten to wear it today."
"You are too formal."Holly stated. They smiled. "Why do you need your communicator?"
"I was going to call you Captain, but I can see you're here now." Artemis and Holly began to walk down the hall thoughtlessly. "So, who let you in?"
"Myles and Beckett. I came through the back. I was expecting you to be in your room, so I checked there first. When you weren't there I checked the living room, thinking you were down there with the twins."
"They were really excited when I told them you were coming over. But they love that cartoon so much, I forgot the name, it's not worth remembering. I know it's got a sponge in it but, they love it so much that when I turned on the television, they were in a trance." Artemis stated.
"Wow. You should have seen how excited they were when I walked in. Beckett was all over me." Holly said.
Holly laughed a little as she remembered Beckett's face. Then she remembered something else.
"Why did you call me up here anyway? You made the message seem urgent." Holly asked.
"Thank you for reminding me. I called you down here because we have an extra plane ticket to Paris. My father was unable to go because he got an urgent call form the World Environmental Organization. It was an emergency meeting in Africa. It's too late to sell the ticket, since the fight is tomorrow. I know you have the entire Spring Break off, so I wanted to know if you wanted to help me put that ticket to good use. Would you like to go with me, my mother, and the twins to Paris?"
Holly was speechless for a moment. Artemis was asking her to go to Paris with him. Paris was the city of love, wasn't it? Maybe I could risk it.
"Sure. I would love to!" Holly exclaimed. "What time does the flight leave tomorrow?"
A/N: Did you like it? I hope you did! I worked really hard. And this is actually one of my firsts stories that I'm actually planning out. The only thing I really had to plan out was symptoms of diseases and all. I'm trying to create a disease to use for this story, but it may take a while. So that updates may take a while.
Until Next Time,
