No-one has reviewed this story yet, I said that I wouldn't update until I had one review, but since I am soooo kind I am going to update the next 2 chapters. It is also because I am feeling guilty that I may not be able to update for a while after because I am going to a new boarding school and I don't know if I am able to get onto fanfic there. Hope you forgive me and still review because I won't update again until I have just 1 small review. Just one word will do just to let me know that someone out there likes my story enough to be bothered to review. I Thank you for your time and salut people who review.

Holly's apartment

Holly's sister Ivy opened the oven door. She nodded to herself, yes the casserole would be ready in half and hour. Everything was the same as it had been for the last 3 years. Just after Holly had left Ivy had wanted to get in contact with her since she was feeling guilty about the past neglected few years. When she had tried to call Holly she hadn't picked up which hadn't come as a surprise. She was rarely at home when Ivy called because she didn't have set hours at the LEP which seemed to take over her life, but she enjoyed it, so as long as Holly was happy she was happy to let Holly do what she wanted. Normally Holly replied to her calls within 2 days but after a week she tried again, another week later she had become a little anxious. She went to police plaza and when she was told the newly instated Commander was busy she demanded to talk to Foaly who informed her that Holly had be lost in limbo and that there was no telling when she would reappear. Ivy who had been shopping just before took out a box of eggs begin chucking them one by one at Foaly, then when she got tired she just walked over to him and put the rest of the eggs and the box on Foaly's head. By this time she was in tears and scream "I thought you were meant to look after you're your officers, didn't you even think that her family should have been told". with that she turned on the spot and stormed out. She had thought that was the worst day of her life, but it was to become even worse. When she arrive at work she was greeted by a large poster in the window which read: 'this company has been shut down due to unforeseen ­events, to gain you compensation please go to the local community centre with a form of identification. We apologise profusely for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Ivy walked slowly home. When she arrived in her 1 bedroom apartment which, like Holly's, had been given to her by her parents just before their dad had been killed while on duty, with the first 6 months rent paid to help them on there way, she picked up the phone and instinctively started to ring Holly's number. On the second ring she remembered that Holly was the main reason for her distress. Instead she had rung her mother who had screeched down the phone that Holly was her favourite and that maybe it would have been better if she, Ivy, had gone to limbo. Ivy had, had enough, she hung up and went to bed, crying herself to sleep.

After that terrible day Ivy had gone everyday to Holly's apartment, cleaned, polished and cooked a meal for Holly just incase she came home and was hungry remembering how Holly couldn't cook. She had collected her compensation which had been enough to keep her flat going if you included her savings, until she found a job, but not enough to also keep Holly's flat. So Holly could keep her flat Ivy had sold hers and bought a one room flat which contained a small bedroom, bathroom and breakfast bar which separated the bedroom and what could hardly be called a kitchen. When Ivy came back the next night to Holly's apartment she would reheat the old food if it was edible and then make fresh.

The day before Holly came back Ivy had been too tired after work to make a

meal so had ordered a take-away which had been very inedible the next day.

Using Holly's keys Trouble opened the front door. Holly was standing behind him scratching like mad at every inch of her body.

"when I get my hands on the damn centaur he's gonna wish that he had never invented that itching spray." muttered Holly

Trouble just laughed. "I did warn you"

In the kitchen Ivy heard voices and the front door shutting

"I have a gun and I know how to use it. This is Captain Holly Shorts apartment and you have no right to be here." Ivy said shakily

In the living room trouble had raised his neutrino

Ivy didn't really have a gun, she was just getting the casserole out of the oven when she'd heard people enter the house

"Ivy?" Holly questioned have recognised the voice flowing from the kitchen

"Holly?" Ivy stood frozen to the spot. She then walked into living room still holding the casserole dish. She suddenly realised the dish was hot and dropped the whole thing on the floor. "D'Arvit" she shouted shaking her hand up and down "I knew there was something to I had forgotten to do, I remember now… complete the ritual."

"give me your hand I'll heal you" Trouble said taking Ivy's hand and watching the blue sparks heal her burns.

Ivy then remembered Holly was back.

"Holly, oh my, Holly your back and foaly said you weren't coming back HOLLY!" with the last word Ivy flung herself at Holly and hugged her tightly. "I've missed you so much" by this time Ivy was blinded by floods of tears so Holly helped her to the sofa and made her sit down while she went get her a drink of water, but as soon as Holly went to let go of Ivy's hand, Ivy screamed and clung tighter so Trouble went instead. After half an hour they managed to calm Ivy down.

"I'm sorry Holly you must think me so ch-childish." hiccupped Ivy.

"don't worry lil' sis'" smiled Holly

"but the food, that was what I was making for you and what I've been doing for the past 3 years in case you came home" Ivy looked at the mess on the floor. She suddenly regained her composure. "right never mind I have pasta bake in the fridge I'll just put that in the oven now, but it will take 2 hours because your ovens broken so I suggest that Holly, you have a shower and then go to sleep, while I go to my flat to get my communicator and Commander I'm sure you know how to work the television and that you will find something to watch. Ok?"

Holly and Trouble were taken aback by this sudden change which had come over this elf.

"go on Holly.. Commander here's the remote control."

"Ivy you can call me Trouble when I'm off duty since your Holly's Sister." he said in a patronizing way.

Ivy just glare up at him since he was taller than she was.

Ivy's flat

Ivy opened her door slowly. A gush of cold wind surrounded her. She shivered. She'd never liked this flat but now Holly was back, soon she could start saving for a bigger place, after she'd help Holly fix her life. Ivy flicked on the light and slowly she started to see her furniture which looked out of place in her damp, cold and mouldy room. She saw her communicator on her bed, grabbed it and ran out of her flat, not wanting to stay in there for longer than she had to. When she got outside she turned and looked up at the large stained building. She hated it there, shouting at night, drunks banging on the doors and drugged up perverts in the streets. She'd been attacked, only once, not badly, but when she remembered it, it brought tears to her eyes. She didn't know how long she stood there but when she woke from her daze she realised the artificial sun had started to sink behind a fake horizon.

Ivy is going to be very different to Holly. She is going to be weak, tidy and really girly. What do you think? Just hit that review button and tell me. It takes less than a minute to write just one word. Pleasseeeeee. now on her knee's begging please, pretty please. I Have cyber cookies for you. J
