Sorry the last chapter was so short but I'm new and I think that short chapters and recently updated stories are better that long chapters and not updated stories... so…that's my reason…if you think I should make my chapters longer please tell me

When Holly got to Fowl Manor, she hesitated. What if this is a trap…she thought. Then, without a moments notice the door swung open and she saw Artemis's face. There wasn't much a difference to him. He had a little muscle to him now and a little tan. The biggest surprise was that he was…SWEATING!!! Holly couldn't believe her eyes! Artemis beamed.

"Holly! I'm so glad you could come!" said Artemis. Holly smiled.

"I am too. So, how is everybody?" she said as he ushered her in the door.

"Fine…don't ask how I am." He said and pretended to pout. Holly smirked.

"Okay. I won't. I was gonna but what ever."

"HEY!" shouted Artemis and punched her playfully on the shoulder.

"Wow…this is a change…you punching me instead of me punching you!" she said and laughed…then hit him back.

"Well I'm fine… mother is doing much better now that father is back…and father is fine…he just got his new prosthetic leg…and Butler and Juliet…well why don't you ask them…there decorating the ball room for the party." He said and led her into the main ballroom. Holly gasped. It was absolutely beautiful.

"HOLLY!" squealed Juliet and ran over to hug her.

"Hi Juliet" said Holly.

"You're so tall! C'mon! Lets go up to my room! The ballrooms finished and the party is gonna start in a few hours! I can show you your dress!" said Juliet and started to drag Holly up the stairs.

"DRESS!?!?!?!?" shouted a bewildered Holly.

"Yea…didn't Artemis tell you?" asked Juliet confused.

"Holly…it's a ball…and you're my partner" said a smirking Artemis. Holly groaned and let Juliet drag her up the stairs.

"You can pick one of my dresses since you're about my size now." Then she started to go thru her closet to find Holly a dress.

Finally…she pulled out a dress. It was gorgeous! It was made of green material that seemed to sparkle green, blue, and pink. It seemed to be made of silk and as for the sleeves…well…there weren't any.

"Juliet! I couldn't wear this!"

"You're right…you don't have any shoes!!!" she said and dove into the closet again. When she came back out she had a pair of shoes that seemed to be made of the same material that what looked the same material that the dress was. They sere one inch tall and thick. Holly smiled…Juliet knew that she couldn't walk in heels.

"OK! Into the bathroom to change!" said Juliet and pushed her into the bathroom. While Holly was changing Juliet got out her dress. It was the same as Holly's except that it was white. When Holly came out, Juliet smirked. The dress fit her in all the right places. Holly tried to walk tword her but nearly fell flat on her face.

"Juliet! I cant do this!" groaned Holly.

"Holly! You HAVE to!"

"UGHHHH!!!! Fine! I'll try!!"

"Good! Then I'll do you're makeup and hair now!" Holly went pale.

"Hair and makeup?!?!?!" said Holly backing away.

"Holly…" said Juliet, "don't make this harder on yourself than it has to be!"

"Fine…just don't put on a lot."

"Okay! I promise!" said Juliet.

15 minutes later…

"Holly?"

"Yes Juliet?"

"Do you well…I was just…I was wondering if you…"

"Just spit it out!" said Holly in good humor.

"I just wanted to know if you liked Arty?!?!" she said as fast as she could. Holly just blushed…and Juliet knew that she did.

"That is the best thing that's happened all day!"

"…"

"I saw Arty writing in his journal and he said that he was in love with you. Oh…and I'm done…" Juliet had put on green eye shadow and a more neutral colored blush and no lipstick. Her hair was curled and piled on top of her head and Juliet had even put some glitter in it too, and now Holly knew why too.

"Juliet…you did all this so I would impress him…didn't you?" Juliet beamed.

"Yes" she said.
