Heyyy! It's me, Jay J! So it's been a craaaazy week, but I finally found time to update! From now on, this story will be updated every tuesday. Probably more often, but we'll see where this goes. Anyway, I know this one's kinda short, but enjoy!

I laid down on the bed in the stupid hospital gown I had to wear. Then the nurse came in. I saw the needle in her hands and groaned. I squeezed my eyes tightly shut as she slid the needle into my arm to take my blood. When she left, Holly and Artemis came in. At first I was glad to see him, but then joy turned to despair when I saw that he was quite obviously being forced to be here.

"How do you feel?" asked Holly.

"Sore. It feels like I've been here forever!"

"You've been in here for about five minutes." said Holly.

"Really? Are you sure?" Holly rolled her eyes, and Artemis smirked. I rolled my eyes right back, and turned on the tv. There was nothing interesting on, so I picked up my book, but then remembered that I had finished it earlier. Then Holly tossed a bag onto my bed. It was filled with the Artemis Fowl books.

"I read them earlier." She said. I thanked her, and picked up the first book.

Artemis pinched the bridge of his nose. He was trying to concentrate, but he just couldn't stop thinking about Chloe. Her warm, kind smile, bubbly laugh, and those eyes that made you feel lik- Artemis shook himself.

"Enough. I need to concentrate, so you need to be quiet." he told his thoughts. Too late, he realized he had voiced this thought out loud. Butler looked up.

"Something wrong, Artemis?"
Terrific. I must sound delusional . . . Artemis thought.

"It's that girl. I just can't stop thinking about her, no matter how I is patently ridiculous. I need to be plotting, thinking, planning, but I can't concentrate!" said Artemis, frustrated. Butler smiled. Artemis would figure it out eventually. He always figured it out . . .

~^~
Holly sat on the edge of my bed.

"Something's obviously bothering you. So spill." she said. I sighed.

"It's Artemis. He doesn't like me at all. I've been a huge fan of his for nearly four years. I wrote fan fictions, drew pictures, read every book in his series many, many times, and he barely acknowledges me. Its like I don't exist anymore." Holly sighed.

"All I can tell you is that I've got a feeling Artemis cares more than you think." She then left, leaving me to wonder what on earth she could possibly mean.

Holly stormed into the little room where Artemis was meditating, determination radiating from her every pore.

"That's it, I've had enough. Get into that hospital room and tell that poor girl how much you like her." she said. Artemis stood.

"I beg your pardon?" He asked, in that cold, clipped voice she hated.

"All that girl can do is sit there and feel miserable because you won't acknowledge her. She's clearly smitten with you. You haven't been able to get her out of your mind, have you?"

"No, but-"

"And you want to see her again, right?"

"Yes, but-"

"But what Artemis? You like her and she likes you! And you both want to see each other get out of here and go see her before I dropkick you out!" Needless to say, Artemis left quickly. He doubted whether even Butler could stop Holly when she was like this.

Artemis walked into my hospital room. I was euphoric when I saw that Holly wasn't behind him. He smiled at me.

"Hi, Artemis."
"Hello, Chloe." He said. He picked up my wrist and studied it, idly.

"An IV?" I grimaced.

"Yeah. While I'm having all of these tests, I can't eat solid food, or it'll screw something or other up." Artemis smiled at my word choice.

"I thought as much. "

"Foaly should be sending someone to tell me if I can stay underground or above ground. Any second now, really." Just then, the pixie in question walked in.

"The test results have shown that you are over seventy percent fairy. I'm afraid you must stay underground, for the good of the People." I nodded.

"Hey Artemis?" I said.

"Yes, Chloe?"

"Time to go house shopping!"

"I think you mean 'It's time to go house shopping' "

"Stop correcting my grammar!"
