Trouble was pacing his office
This is my first fan fiction. I hope you enjoy it and please review if you want me to carry on with it. It's set after the lost colony as Holly is returning to Haven. There will be H/T.
BTW: I don't own Artemis Fowl or the characters that you recognize from the books. I am sadly not Eoin Colfer though I would have liked to have thought of Artemis Fowl first, It was not to be.
Trouble was pacing his office. Holly was back and was now on her way down to Haven after 3 years. He looked at his moonometer, she was late. No surprises there then.
There was a knock at the door and Trouble whirled round. Chix Verbil entered, Trouble sat down on his swivel chair behind his desk and looked disappointed.
"look Trouble I know your excited about holly coming back but would you please stop pacing up and down like an expectant father…"
"I'm not excited" trouble interrupted quickly "I'm just ….worried about what's taking so long, I have a lot of paperwork to do."
"hey Troubs your shift ended 4 hours ago and I don't see any paperwork on your desk."
Trouble scowled at the name and wished at this point that Alice, Troubles PA, would enter at that point carrying a large pile of work. No such luck.
"You should ask Holly out soon Trouble before she's taken."
"What do you mean by that comment Captain" retorted Trouble defensively.
"You know what I mean sir, she's good-looking and I know you've liked her for like ages."
Trouble wasn't given a chance to defend himself, because troubles pager started to bleep. On the minute screen foaly's head appeared which then started to talk.
"seaweed get your ass down here now"
Puzzled by the nickname, trouble grabbed his commanders jacket and ran out of his office, past Chix who was almost crying with laughter at the name Foaly had called Trouble.
As Trouble reach the tech room door he pressed the electric DNA sampler which immediately gave him a sharp electric shock which wasn't meant to happen and opened the doors. He walked inside slowly. There was no-one there. Suddenly someone spoke.
"Trouble Kelp what do you think your doing."
Trouble almost jumped out of his skin at the sound of his mothers voice. He turned to see Holly standing behind him holding what looked like one of Foaly's voice mimickers.
"Holly you're here" he could hardly speak with the happiness whelming inside him. He pulled her into a hug, not wanting to let her go in case she went again.
"Trouble its err great to see you but could you let me go because I'm finding it hard to breath"
"frond, Trouble give the girl some space." foaly's voice drifted into the tech room followed by foaly himself.
"sorry" muttered Trouble who now felt very stupid.
"It's ok Trouble I've missed you too" Holly admitted, blushing slightly.
"I have so much…."
"sorry to have to break up this romantic catch-up but Holly I've got the results from your scan and apart from a cuts, bruises and obvious fatigue your fine to go home."
At the mention of fatigue Holly had started to yawn.
"well I have been awake for 3 years, by the way has anyone been near my house recently."
A sudden silence fell on the room
"I'll take that as a no, hopefully Ivy's helped out. Though I will be surprised since I haven't seen her for 3 years plus the time I was away so.. About 6 years."
"Who's Ivy?" asked Trouble confused "that name rings a bell."
"well it should, Ivy's my sister."
"I did inform her of what was happening, she took it rather well. I didn't even know you had a sister because the system didn't register properly." explained Foaly, embarrassed to admit his equipment had faults.
"it shouldn't show her. My sister also took the classes in the academy but when she had passed she realized she didn't really want to work here after only one day, not that I'm surprised" Holly's glare fell on Foaly who move uncomfortably on the spot.
"how was I to know she was the next person to come in, I thought Root was sending someone else."
"well lets just say last time I saw her she wouldn't go anywhere without a torch just in case." said Holly grinning at the memory. "well after she left I asked the commander if he would delete anything that would link me to my sister, It was a precaution in case anyone tried to get me through my family."
"well I only found out when she rang me demanding where you were and what we'd done with you because she had been round your house and hadn't been replying to you calls." explained Foaly.
"well I better go home and see what horrors are in store for me then." Holly looked at Trouble who had been staring at her almost the whole time. "Haven to Trouble come in Trouble, Troubsss
At this he seemed to come out of his daze and looked at Foaly.
"ye"
"can you take Holly home and make sure its livable in"
"yer ok, by the way talking of words why did you call me seaweed on the pager earlier?" Trouble asked confused
"oh well didn't you know in the land above kelp is a type of brown seaweed."
"very witty Foaly, keep it up because they get worse each time. Come on Holly lets take you home." with that last comment Trouble walked out, followed hastly by Holly who uttered a hurried goodbye to Foaly.
In Trouble's brand new shuttle car Holly was messing with all new gadgets which came with it. She moved her finger to a purple button and immediately Foaly's favorite pop song was blaring out, when she tried to turn it down she found that the volume was already zero. She then pressed a brightly coloured button and a disco ball light appeared from the roof.
"so this is what Foaly's been up to while I've been gone."
"yer when I told him I was getting a new vehicle he gave me this one saying it had a few extras, but from what I know the disco ball and song are added bonuses in all the cars. The only good things which he made is an inbuilt communicator and police news. But of course he had to do something ridiculous so whatever you do don't press this button." grinned Trouble knowing for a fact Holly wouldn't take any notice of his warning. She pressed the last big red button and…
