A/N: Here's the sequel. I know I updated the last chapter today but Ive already written this story so I just need to post it. I own nothing.
Chapter 1: She's Back!
Major Trouble Kelp of the LEP ran to work like he was being chased by trolls. Foaly had called him last night and had said that Holly Short had returned. She would be waiting at the LEP building this morning along with Artemis Fowl. Something about debriefing but to be honest Trouble hadn't really paid any attention after Foaly had said the words, Holly's back.
Before she disappeared to Limbo for 3 years, they had been dating for about ( I don't know exactly how long she was captain before she was kidnapped by Artemis so I'm choosing a various number) 4 years. Sure they had had their ups and downs, sometimes they took a break and dated other people but they always made up and became a couple again.
These past few years had been terrible to Trouble. He had missed her with all his heart, and lately he had been thinking that...no he shouldn't even think it. He knew that she'd be back. Just sometimes it seemed doubtful.
Stop thinking negatively. He scolded himself, she's back so stop living in the past.
As he entered the LEP building he slowed down. No need to delay seeing Holly just because he had crashed into someone. He walked as quickly as was safe to the Operations Booth. When he got there he knocked on the door. Foaly buzzed him through right away; knowing now was defiantly not the time to make Trouble wait. As Trouble entered the room he looked around a bit and saw... (guess who?) Holly.
She smiled at him and jumped up and took him in a huge hug. As he hugged her back he could see Foaly and Artemis smirking, and Butler grinning. He pulled away from her so he could look at her. She looked ok. Tired, but otherwise ok.
In Limbo her hair had grown so now it was down to her shoulders. Trouble made a mental note to ask her to keep it like that. His eyes went to her face. Something was different but he couldn't... wait!
"Holly. What happened to your eyes?" Trouble choked.
Her beautiful hazel eyes that he had been dreaming about for 3 years were gone. Well technically only one was gone; in its place was an icy blue eye. As much as it looked attractive, Trouble missed her old eyes.
"Oh nothing much." Holly said. "The time tunnel caused me and Artemis to switch eyes. I have one of his and he has one of mine. It's kind of weird having a mud man's eye but you get used to it."
Trouble looked over at Artemis. Sure enough there was Holly's hazel eye right where a blue one should have been. Trouble felt something in his stomach that wasn't exactly pleasant.
"Is there any way to switch the eyes back?" he asked.
He got confused looks from everyone in the room.
"No there isn't." Foaly said. "We've already decided that it would be better not to mess with it. Although Artemis will were a blue contact lens over his eye to keep his parent's from noticing."
Trouble almost scowled. First the mud boy had taken Holly's eye and now he was going to hide it?
He didn't take it. His angel side said.
It's like taking it. He argued back.
Admit it, you're just jealous of the mud boy. His angel side smirked.
Am not, now go away. He told himself.
"Trouble? You ok?" Holly asked waving a hand in front of his face.
He shook those thoughts away and said, "Uh yeah everything's fine. Look I have to go do some paper work. I'll see you later Holly. Maybe you'd like to catch a movie or something?"
Holly couldn't hold back a yawn. "Maybe we could see it at my house. I'm so tired and if I fell asleep at my house, it wouldn't matter."
"Sure. See you later." Trouble said hurrying out of the booth.
"Is he always like that?" Artemis asked.
Holly shook her head. "No, he's not usually like that."
"So what is he?" Artemis asked. "Best friend?"
"No, you're my best friend. He's one of my best friends. We dated for 4 years before we disappeared into Limbo."
"Oh." Artemis said. "And you're afraid that he doesn't want to have that kind of relationship anymore."
"How would you know, Fowl?" Holly snapped.
"I know psychology, Holly and trust me he still cares about you deeply."
"Really?" Holly asked looking up at the prodigy.
Now Foaly spoke up. "Oh yeah Holly. He came in here practically everyday, wanting to know if there had been any news about you. Not the demons, not Artemis. You."
Holly smiled at her friends. "Thanks guys." She said. "Ok Foaly you can begin the debriefing."
A/N: Btw there is another sequel after this story. Let me know if, when I finish this story, I should post that one.
