Flashback, two months ago.
Holly had just gone to see Artemis. She wasn't sure what this was about, considering that he had just said his parents wanted him to make more friends that he was comfortable introducing to them.
"In all truth Holly, they want me to find a girlfriend soon. They've met Minerva, and are charmed. I don't feel that fond of her, she has changed too much. I would much rather go out with someone who has red hair, a hazel eye, and is looking right at me."
At that Holly had said,
"Artemis, you know that can't happen. I'm an elf; you're a mud man. We would break so many rules... "
At that point Artemis had placed a single finger on her lips to silence her and kissed her. Holly was at first stunned, then returned his kiss. Their kisses became more and more passionate until…
The next morning.
"Mmmmmm." Holly just woke up and saw that she was cuddled in Artemis's arms. "I'm nestled in Artemis's arms. That's new. Oh my god, I missed work! Foaly is going to kill me!" Holly was in the middle of a full-blown freak out when Artemis woke up. "Hey, what's going on? It's 7 am and you're all ready all freaked."
"I MISSED WORK!"
"Calm down. You were lazy and played hooky, OK? That's all that happened." He murmured as he stroked her face.
"You're right. I better go though, tell Foaly that. See you later." Holly shimmied into her outfit then turned to go. Artemis then kissed her goodbye, and she retuned the kiss.
End Flashback
"Now I have the how it happened, but how do I tell?" Mused Holly. "I can't tell Foaly, he'd never let me live it down that I slept with Fowl. How do I tell Artemis? He would probably just think that this is a amazing ploy by Foaly to see how responsible he is." "WHAT CAN I DO?" Holly shouted to no one in particular. "I'll just go talk to Fowl. Maybe he will believe me. I really hope so, or else I'm utterly screwed."
