Author's note: Hey people! Ok so I kind of was going to have this be a one-shot fanfic but I do realize there were a few things I didn't explain. Also a couple people said they want me to update and I am kind of board so I decided to make another chapter. I don't know how long it's going to. By be though. Thank you everyone who reviewed so far the way I do realize I misspelled Fowl. Thank you for correcting me. I assure I will never do it again but if I do please tell me. Well that was one long author's note so on to the story.
Holly Short:
"But Artemis, how did you get here? More importantly HOW did you get your memories back?" Holly said with curiosity. It was impossible to get past Foaly's system. Simply impossible!
"That is unimportant. It does not matter how I got back my memories. All that is important is that I do have them back and that I now realize my deep love for you," Artemis replied.
"Artemis if you don't want me to turn you into to Root you had better tell me how you got here this instant!" Holly threatened.
"You wouldn't dare," Artemis sounded shocked.
"No your right, I would but you KNOW I would blast you back into that mudman mansion of yours!" Holly raised her voice and gave Artemis an "I mean business" look while fingering her gun.
Artemis Fowl:
"Alright, alright it seams I am forced to tell you, although I assure you it is a quite uninteresting story," Artemis sighed but recognized defeat. He realized Holly was entirely serious when she said she would not hesitate to "blast him into his mudman mansion."
"Well to answer your question about my memories it is fairly simple really. My memory has been slowly returning to me for about two years now. I believe I have been able to remember everything fully for about six months now. There must be a flaw in your friend Foaly's system," Artemis said talking in a very board voice as though this was the most obvious thing in the world. Holly found this very infuriating. She wasn't stupid. Artemis could tell her temper was obviously rising. All he did was smirk though. Some habits are hard to break. This only made Holly madder.
Holly Short:
Maybe this was why she hadn't realized she had loved Artemis before. It was much easier to love him from afar than it was to love him when he was in your face with that smirk of his.
"That is impossible. You know Foaly never makes mistakes! Think, is there anything that happened that might have caused a relapse around the time when you started to regain your memory? Anything at all? Even the smallest thing can cause a relapse," Holly said, with a hint of anger in her voice. Foaly was her friend after all and Artemis had practically insulted him. No, Artemis HAD insulted Foaly.
"Well, I don't know if this could cause a relapse, but we were studying the Artic when my "relapse" occurred," Artemis said, this time in a would be casual voice. You could tell he had obviously not thought of this. This time it was Holly's turn to smirk.
"I'll have to tell Foaly his plan had a flaw," Holly said without thinking.
Artemis Fowl:
Arty's jaw seemed to drop to the floor. He looked horrified, not to mention very undignified.
"You wouldn't!" He gasped, forgetting his proper manor and sounding almost hurt. In fact he was quite hurt. If Holly told Foaly he was back it was sure to get to Commander Root who would surely order him to have his memory wiped yet again. Surely Holly would not do that to him. Not after telling him she loved him. Not after the kiss they had just shared. That heart stopping kiss. That kiss that had told him Holly's true feelings for him.
Holly Short:
Artemis looked so hurt at what she had said Holly got very taken aback. She thought about the words that had slipped from her mouth. Immediately she felt angry at herself for even joking like that. She could never turn Artemis in. She would never be able to live with herself. And she would always live in heartache. This time with nothing to numb the pain. As soon as she has thought this an unwanted thought slipped into her mind. They will find out eventually. No, she would make sure they never found Artemis. She now knew she could not live without them. But however hard she tried to convince herself otherwise she knew it was inevitable. They would find out about Artemis eventually. She would just have to convince them not to take him away form her once more. But how?
Authors Note (Oh no, don't tell me she's going to mindlessly chatter again!): Well, what do you think? Let me know. By the way tell me who got the wrong idea form the title. Who thought it was going to mean how did Artemis has gotten his memory back. Yes that was a part in this chapter but I meant it to be how to convince Root to let Arty keep his memories (see last line of story). Yeah so please tell me any more mistakes I made (I know I made them don't be a liar!) Do NOT tell me I misspelled Fowl because I KNOW I spelled it right this time. So in conclusion R and R pretty PLEASE. And I know I finished this chapter rather fast but I have no life so it is inevitable (can you tell I love this word) that I will update really fast. Maybe I'll slow down when I get farther along. Ok now I am done with my short (ok long) rant. Oh and feel free to e-mail me at or instant message me, use the same address but so you know I have yahoo instant messenger. Obviously I love to talk. If you are a fan of Phantom of the Opera I beg you to e-mail me. I am a die-hard fan!
