Hello all! Now, this probably isn't that good, but still review! But please review, whatever you think! This will eventually kind of a be a funny crackfic, though i dont think this chapter will be,,, anyways,,, onward!
Artemis sat at his desk, looking at the screen. Financials... Keeping up with the family accounts. He saw a shimmer of light next to the window and turned to face it.
"Hello, holly." he smirked as a figure came into view. She tossed a bag onto the bed and took off her helmet.
"Artemis, next time, leave the window UNLOCKED." she fell back onto a chair brushed a fallen hair out of her face.
Artemis chuckled.
"What? No please?" seeing Holly's glare, he sighed and turned back to the computer. Holly crossed her arms.
"So you're just going to ignore me?" she paused for a moment and leaned against the desk beside him before continuing. "Why did you want me here, Artemis?" he turned back to face her and held his fingers together.
"My parents signed me up for the community play."
Holly did a double take. She thought for a minute.
"What?" she made a confused and defeated look. Artemis sighed.
"My parents signed me up fo-"
Holly stopped him.
"No, no... I heard that. But... What does it have to do with me?"
"You, holly, are going to do the play with me."
She froze. What was he talking about? Do the play? With mud people? Artemis finally spoke again.
"Holly, I know no one else in this production and I would very much like it if you did the play with me." he studied her. She had a blank expression. She sighed.
"Okay... Fine. I'll have to talk to Foaly about the MMM he's been working on."
Artemis gave a puzzled look.
"MMM?" he asked.
Holly nodded.
"Mud Man Maker."
"A little simple minded, don't you think?" he said. Holly shrugged and walked over to the bed, pulling something out of her bag.
"What's that?" Artemis asked, squinting in the darkness. Holly rolled their eyes.
"I'm not going to sleep in my suit, now am I?"
"So you're staying the night, then?" he asked, shifting in her glance.
"When do I not?" she pranced over to the bathroom and closed the door. Artemis sighed. Of cooourse she was going to stay. She aaaalways stays... And kicks him out of his own bed. This all happened 4 years ago, when he turned 15. And now he was 19 (though to the rest of the world, 22) and still sleeping on the floor almost every Friday night. Looks like this was another one.
The bathroom door opened and Holly stepped out in her sweats. She had put her hair in a messy bun and a t-shirt. At first, Artemis found it strange to see the Captain in such casual clothes, but after awhile he got used to it. She threw her suit onto her bag and jumped back into the chair she had previously been sitting in. She curled her legs up and brought her arms around them.
"So... When is this play? And where do I sign up?"
"Practice starts in a week and I already signed you up."
Holly choked on the water she had started to drink. She wiped the water she got on her face off and put the glass down.
"What?"
"I already signed you up."
She crossed her arms and leaned forward.
"And how did you know I would say yes?"
He gave a guilty smile.
"I just sort of... hoped."
Holly rolled her eyes.
"Whatever. Now what IS the play, anyways?"
Artemis, who had turned back to the computer, glanced up at her.
"The Little Mermaid."
A/N: See, I told you! Not funny! Anyways, the next chapter will hopefully be funny, so goodbye for now!
