Chapter One: C.F.

The sun was looking over the Earth for the last time before it sank into it's lonely night's
sleep. Beautiful pinks and purples made the scenery all the more elegant. Holly admired her
surroundings, before heading back to haven. She was thinking about how it most feel to live in a
place full of radiance, and enchantment. Her figure slid across her helmet pushing the little green
button that made her invisible. She had just finished the ritual, it had been a long time since she
had preformed it. In fact the last time she did, she had been attacked by Artemis Fowl.
"Holly, your taking to long! D'arvit! Get back to Haven, A.S.A.P., or how ever those
Mud Men put it!" Root's alarming voice came over the intercom. Holly snapped out of her little
day dream, and almost giggled at the fact Commander Root was quoting Mud Men.

******************************************************************************
"Root!" sang the annoyingly happy centaur. "Commander Root!"
"What do you want Foaly?" Julius Root had been eating his lunch when he was rudely
interrupted.
"Commander, do you know that chemical substance I've been working on?" Foaly
smiled wildly.
"Yes, it's about time we talked about your smelly science experiment," Root whipped his
face with his hands and then rubbed his hands on his pants. Typical male.
"Guess what!"
"Foaly, you know as well as anyone that I hate guessing games!" Roots face turned a
shade redder.
"Commander Root hate is such a strong word-"
"LOOK FOALY, I DON'T NEED YOU TO TELL MY THAT!" Julius bellowed, forcing
Foaly to take a step back. Holly was outside the door, she had just returned from the ritual, and
had to refrain from laughing.
"Commander calm down, I have good news," Foaly assured him. "The council has
approved C.F. and is allowing me to test it on field agents!" Foaly almost jumped when hearing
these words even though he was the one who said them.
"What in Haven is C.F.?" was the confused response of Julius Root.
"C.F. is Classified Formula, which can turn any fairy into a Mud Man, or Mud Women,"
Foaly smiled.
Root sat in his swivel chair, confused for a moment. "And the Council approved this
C.F. for field training why?"
Foaly's jaw dropped as if the answer wasn't obvious, "because if fairies can look like the
Mud people then we can go up to the surface more."
"Who do you have in mind?" Root didn't bother asking any more questions, he was angry
enough, all he could think was istupid horse..i
"Captain Holly Short, and Chix Sir," Foaly lowered his glance in case of explosion. It
was a good thing too.
"WHAT, two agents! That's impossible, next you'll want the whole fleet!" Root turned a
deep red- or purple rather.
"The experiment needs two agent of the opposite gender, it's not all of the LEPrecon,"
Foaly tried to explain.
"I'll go by myself," Holly offered, she was now standing in the door way, it was hard not
to hear what was going on inside. "I'm sure that you can do another test on some one else after
I'm done." Holly wasn't sure she wanted to go, but she would be up there again...
Root glared at her, "See, she'll go alone, and when she comes back you can have Chix,"
Root smiled, he got his way, for once. Not exactly, but at least one thing was going for him.
"Fine, Holly thank you for participating," Foaly guided her to the lab. He explained that
tomorrow night she was going to go above the surface take a sip of the potion and wait and see
what happens.
"I don't like the sound of this," Holly could feel her stomach making that offal turning
noise.
"Look it's not as bad as it sounds, just walk around, go to a few public places and calm
back, it's that simple," Foaly reassured her.
"What is suppose to happen again?" She asked still feeling like she should know more.
"You will look feel, walk, talk, and act like a Mud Women, but you will be a fairy, with
full use of magic," Foaly smiled as if it were ingenious.

******************************************************************************
Holly had a bad feeling about this, but wanted so bad to see the surface again. "How long
do I have before the C.F. runs out?"
"Who knows?" Foaly winked and handed her a vial.
"Thanks, if I die I'll come back and hunt you," Holly teased, but she wasn't sure if she
was joking or not.
"I'm scared," he teased back, not noticing the seriousness in her voice. "See you when
you get back!" he waved and walked away.
Holly climbed into the pod, and headed for the surface.

******************************************************************************
It was dark by the time she got to the surface, and the only piece of equipment she had
was an ear microphone. i she though iI have a Foaly in my headi. She looked
around, and realized she wasn't far off from the Fowl Manor, maybe she could play a joke on
Artemis. She stared off for a little while, then pulled out the potion. Her eye's watched the
liquid swirl around in the glass. "One small step for Holly," she paused chuckling to herself.
"And one giant step for Fairy Kind!" she exclaimed, taking a gulp of the offal smelling solution.
For a few moments she couldn't feel anything happen, suddenly she fell. She cried out in pain, it
felt like she had been hit by a transport. She laid in the soft grass, knocked out by the pain...
