Foaly was grinning once again. Not a good sign. "Hey everybody, who wants to sleep over at Arty's house?" He exclaimed. Artemis groaned loudly. A chorus of agreement reverberated through the room.

"This is not necessary. You have already forced me to play truth or dare, you will not make me accommodate you for the entire night. Leave immediately, or I'm calling the police."

" What are you gonna say? Fairies invaded your house and forced you to have a sleepover?" said Foaly. Artemis fell silent. "Good, because I brought sleeping bags for all of us!" With that Foaly left the room in search of the sleeping bags. A few moments later he came back, empty handed. "Sorry, guys, I left them back in Haven. It's OK though, you can all sleep in here." He gestured to the five couches in the gigantic living room. Artemis suggested that they used the guest bedrooms, but Foaly would hear nothing of it. He said that is was against the rules, which ironically, he had made up.

"Excuse me, Foaly, but there are five couches, and six of us. Therefore, one of us will have to sleep on the floor. Any volunteers?" Artemis asked.

"Or," said Foaly, "Two of us will have to sleep on the same couch." He shot a sideways glance at Holly.

"For the good of the sleepover," Holly announced heroically, "I'll sleep on the same couch as Someone. Any volunteers?" Root was about to raise his hand, but he caught himself just in time. He was the only one.

"OK," said Holly, "I'll choose, Artemis!"

"That's unfair! Why not Juliet! She's a girl! I demand a vote! All who agrees with me?"

"Aye!" said Butler. He was the only one to make a sound. Artemis dejectedly climbed onto the couch. Holly sat on his stomach and began bouncing.

"Oof." Artemis grunted every time she landed. This was going to be a long night. While everyone else was chattering, Artemis tried to fall asleep. He couldn't help but overhear Foaly and Juliet giggling over the snapshot of him in a dress. He realized that he was still wearing it. Artemis pushed Holly off and led her back to his room.

"Holly, I need my clothes back."

"Oh, sure. Sorry about that. Umm, Artemis, do you have any pajamas I can wear?"

"Sure, let me look." He dug through his closet until he found a pair of black silk pajamas. They were actually a pair that his mother had gotten for one of the twins, but it somehow ended up in his closet. It would be a little tight on Holly, but close enough. He handed her the Pajamas, and pulled out his pair. He silently walked into the bathroom, and emerged moments later in his nightclothes. Holly was sitting on his bed, swinging her legs back and forth. She grabbed his hand a little too firmly and led him back to the living room.

Artemis woke up in the middle of the night. He felt a weight of some sort on his chest, restricting his breathing. He placed his hand gingerly on the object, only to find it moving gently up and down. He rolled Holly off of him, and lifted her eyelid. The eye was moving from side to side. She was dreaming. He placed his hand on her shoulder and fell back to sleep. He woke up again about two hours later to find that Holly was once again on his chest, and she was muttering something about goldfish. Artemis tried to lift her off again, but her arms slid around his neck, and he couldn't get her to let go. He sighed and went back to sleep.

The next morning, Foaly insisted on showers. Artemis had four bath tubs, two hot tubs, and a pool, but only one shower. No one wanted to go swimming, so they ended up lined up outside the bathroom, waiting for Foaly to finish using his hoof moisturizer. Artemis was last in line to use his own shower. After Foaly came out, Root butted in front of Holly, and took his shower. Next it was Holly's turn, then Butler, then Juliet, and finally, Artemis. Artemis stepped into the shower. The others had used up the hot water. He let the Luke-warm water beat down on his forehead. He got out and wrapped a towel around himself. Holly was standing in front of him, staring. She took a Polaroid. Artemis quickly got dressed and attempted to shoe everyone out of his house. Root left, Foaly cantered out the door, Butler and Juliet went back to their rooms, but Holly lingered.

"A-Artemis, would you like to c-come over to my h-house?" Holly stuttered. Her face was hopeful.

"Alright, but-" With that Holly hooked him onto her Moonbelt, and Artemis grabbed his laptop. Holly snatched it away and threw it in the general direction of the living room. Luckily, it landed on a couch. Both flew off over the town, ignoring the bewildered people watching a fairy and a human flying overhead. Artemis felt the wind in his hair, and the sweet rush of happiness he got from flying without cam-foil. They flew just low enough for Artemis to be able to breath, although he didn't much. Abruptly, the clip holding him to the Moonbelt came loose, and he grabbed onto Holly. She laughed at his horrified look, though the sound was carried away in the wind. Artemis felt her soft hands guide his back to the clip, and left him to refasten it.
