I'm transferring all of the good stories from Fg to FF. That's probably five-ish just today. I don't own AF, and concrit is always welcomed.
Artemis, in his infinite knowledge, had fallen for a tourist trap. It was the most original one since Plymouth rock.
"Of youth?" He asked again, just to be sure.
"Yeah," Holly blew a stand of hair from her eyes, glancing around, to see if anyone had seen the brief glint of grey. "Boring, I know."
"Boring? Oh, no, Holly . . . This is brilliant," Artemis looked up with a red glint in his eyes. "Does it work?"
"No."
"No?"
"Will you live forever? No. Hooray for placebos? Yeah. It used to be magic, but that was the original water. Now, it's just a really pretty pond and a few gift shops." Holly replied, running her hands through her hair. She located the grey hair, it was only one in a sea of auburn, but it. Was. Grey.
"So, no eternal youth?" Artemis asked, disappointed.
"Yeah. You want to go back to my flat, watch some of the People's TV programs?" Holly offered.
"All right, Holly. I am going to go see if I can find a way out of this excuse for a myth." Artemis said, nodded curtly and then started walking away.
Holly looked back to make sure he wasn't looking, then scooped a a handful of the water. She drank a bit, and licked her lips. There was a slight tingle, then a warm feeling. She checked where she found the grey hair. It was thicker, and auburn again. With a smile, Holly took off after Artemis.
