Disclaimer- I do not own Artemis Fowl.

Hello. It's been a while since I did an Artemis Fowl fanfiction. Months, in facts. Wow. Anyway, this took twice the time it should have because it is really hard to get Vinyaya's apostrophe mark thing right. So I really hope you like it.

Enjoy!


Holly Short walked into her Commander's office to see the strangest sight she'd ever seen.

Ok, maybe not the strangest. She'd seen a human fight off a troll, after all. And there was that time she's walked in on Foaly's "private time". He needed some serious counselling if he thought that carrots dressed up as prominent members of society were appropriate conversationalists.

In the current time Holly was staring, slack-jawed at Commander Julius Root and Wing Commander Raine Vinýaya. Or more accurately, at what they were doing.

Vinýaya was leaning across Root's desk, arms wrapped around his neck and lips firmly planted on his.

Holly didn't know whether to leave now before they noticed or say something. She was spared the decision as Vinýaya pulled away.

"It's looks like we've been found out." said the Wing Commander, shaking out her long silver hair in glee.

"Pity." shrugged Root. "Hello, Holly.

Holly stood, speechless for a moment. "Hello, Julius."

Root scowled. "I told you not to call me that."

"Aw, don't get mad at her, baby. It is our anniversary after all, and the doctor told you that it was bad for your health to get so worked up." said Vinýaya smugly.

"Anniversary?" said Holly, shocked.

"We've been together two hundred years. Didn't you know?"

"No." whispered Holly. "Commander, why didn't you tell me?"

Root winked, the first time she'd seen him do so. "I thought it was protocol not to intermix personal and professional. I know what a stickler you are for protocol, Captain."

Holly's eye twitched. "But why?"

Vinýaya shrugged. "I guess I just like the allure of a man in uniform."

"You told me it was the buzz cut." said Root.

"That too." she replied, and latched herself onto Root's face once again. Holly backed out of the office.

"My report can wait." she said, turning around.

Once she was out of the office she leaned against the wall, trying to absorb what she'd seen.

Trouble Kelp say her and smirked. "Walking in on them always is a shock."

"You knew?" she croaked.

Trouble cracked a grin. "Everyone but you did."

"Even Foaly?"

"Even Foaly."


Ah, my favorite pairing. I also love Holly/Trouble, which is why Trouble's in this. In fact, he's in all my Artemis Fowl fanfictions...

Hmm...

Eh, whatever. It's not that many, after al. I've only done three.

Please review!
