AN: YAY, for summer holidays! I've a whole lot of ideas, and a whole lot of time, so be prepared!
Actually, I don't have anything to say about the story itself. All you need to know is that there's not a really thick plot or a complex storyline, it's just a HT ship about questions. Enjoy and Review Please!
Oh, and nothing is mine.
Questions; part 1
Holly and Trouble had been in love for over a month now, but besides two of their best friends, nobody knew it yet. Since he was promoted to LEP-commander (and because of his good looks, Holly suspected), Trouble was one of the Lower Elements' most wanted celebrities. If the paparazzi found out that he had a girlfriend, strolling through Haven like they were doing now, wouldn't be that easy. Or even possible.
They were walking home, after a secret dinner in a discreet restaurant. They walked hand in hand, for a moment not caring if anybody would see them. It was late, the fake suns were out and there was nobody out there except for the two of them. Haven was theirs for tonight.
Trouble looked at the girl walking beside him, and smiled. She looked happy, and now she wore something else than her LEP uniform, she was the most beautiful elf he'd ever seen. Suddenly he felt a wave of extreme happiness. She was his, and he was hers, and that was all that mattered. He didn't need anymore.
'Trouble Kelp. What's that insane grin on your face supposed to mean?' Holly asked amused. 'What are you thinking of? Me, I hope.' She laughed, as he stuck out his tongue at her.
That was their little game. When one of them asked something and started with the full name of the other, that question had to be answered. No matter what, it could take a while, but the other one had to give an answer. And, it had to be true.
'Actually,' he answered, 'I was thinking of how my mother will react if she hears about us. I bet she'll love it.'
Or at least a bit true.
Holly smiled when she thought of Trouble's stories about his mother. 'I bet she'll be completely bewildered. Her little boy, and that rough female officer?'
He laughed. 'She'll get used to it, and then she'll love you, I'm sure.' He let go of her hand, and put his arm around her waist. 'Just as I do. And your mother? What do you think, will she like me?'
Holly thought for a moment. Her mother was not a very friendly elf, not even for elf standards. 'I don't know if she'll like the fact that I'm growing up,' she said carefully, 'and I'm not sure whether she'll blame you or not. But she'll get used to it, just as your mother will.' She didn't sound so sure, though.
Trouble pulled her a little closer. 'Don't you worry, Short,' he said in a cheery voice. 'My charming personality will do the trick, don't you think? And if it doesn't, wait 'till she hears you're dating the number one most wanted bachelor in all of Haven, according to the Private Fairy!'
They both laughed. The Private Fairy was the most popular gossip magazine under the earth, and for 99 percent filled with pure nonsense, although, Holly found the article about 'Havens most wanted bachelors' quite interesting.
They reached Holly's apartment. She opened the door, but before she could go inside, he held her back. 'Holly Short. Where do you think you're going?'
'To my bed, of course,' she replied. 'Where else?'
'Aren't you forgetting something?' he said, smiling. 'A date like this one tonight has to be finished properly, don't you think? How about a little kiss before bedtime?'
Well, how could she refuse that offer? She smiled back, and, before she knew it, he took her in his arms for one of the most wonderful kisses ever.
An eternity later, he let go. 'Sweet dreams, Holly,' he whispered tenderly. Her body against his, her warm and sweet smell, her soft breath tickling in his neck, all of it was overwhelming. However, he forced himself and he started to turn away. 'I'll see you tomorrow,' she said in a soft voice, and she prepared to go inside.
But the romantic saying-goodbye moment was disturbed by the sound of somebody running away. Both at the same moment Holly and Trouble remembered having heard a weird sound while kissing.
The click-click-click of an expensive camera.
'D'Arvit!' Trouble swore.
'Well,' Holly sighed. 'I guess we'll have to face our family a little earlier than expected. But see it from the bright side.'
Trouble looked angry. 'What do you mean?'
'See it this way.' Holly answered, grinning vicious. 'Now everyone in Haven will find out anyway, you can just as well stay here.'
And so, a wonderful night began. But, the story isn't over yet. No, it is to be continued…
