"So, I was thinking, instead of searching we should-"
Holly was over at the Fowl Manor so she and Artemis could talk about the next steps to capture Opal Koboi. They were currently going down to the kitchen, so they could set up a video conference with Foaly. Everything was going well; Artemis had been voicing one of his ideas when he collapsed onto the plush, white carpet.
"Artemis!" Holly dropped to her knees beside Artemis and checked for a pulse. It was normal. He seemed fine before…
"Artemis…Artemis…ARTEMIS! Wake up mud boy! Get up! Come on!" Holly yelled. After a few moments Holly decided to start slapping poor Arty. She slapped his suit-clad chest, then his arms, then his face. Artemis didn't move.
What the Frond. Holly thought. Then slapped Arty some more. She was thinking frantically for something and her mind stumbled upon those old mud man fairy tales. She remembered a few pieces from Snow White and Sleeping Beauty. Holly took a deep, shuddering breath and leaned down slowly.
At once, Artemis awoke. He opened his eyes and once he saw his situation scampered backwards, with as much dignity a Fowl should have when almost being kissed by a fairy while unconscious. He stared at Holly with wide, shocked eyes and felt a blush come up his cheeks.
Holly reddened and hung her head. "It seemed like the only way."
If anyone else had climbed to the second floor of the Fowl Manor in the next three minutes, they would see a miniature person fiddling with her hands, a red blush blooming across her cheeks. If anyone read her mind you would see this; what am I thinking? He's a mud boy, a filthy, arrogant mud boy. I can't-no. Why am I acting like this?
Someone would also notice a slim boy, face pink, sprawled across the plush carpet across from the miniature person. If someone were to read his mind, they would read this; what was that? Why was she leaning in? Was she thinking true love's kiss? No, not possible. Why? She surely has a relationship with someone, she has too. But, I have to wonder…
They both wondered what would have happened if Holly had leaned in faster, if Artemis stayed unconscious just a bit more.
But, no one wondered why Artemis had fainted. Actually, no one thought twice about it.
Um, that was my first AF fic and I hope I did it justice. Please review, I'm thinking of doing a series of AF drabbles and one-shots with this as like chapter one. Please tell me if I should, I honestly don't know.
