Alright! Here is Chapter 4! Phew, they are going by really fast! (I finally finished chapter 5 a few minutes ago.)

It was midday when the doorbell rang. Angeline was helping Butler and Juliet with the in-house decorating while Artemis Sr. played with the twins. With everyone busy, it was Artemis who answered the front door.

Holly was waiting there, dressed in a long sleeved, green shirt with jeans and sneakers-one of the various outfits Artemis gave her to put in a bag when she showed up. "Hi, Arty!" She exclaimed, even though she had just seen him moments before she flew out the window, stashed her wings in the bushes, and walked to the front door of Fowl Manor. The woman wrapped her arms around him in a loving gesture. "Where are they?" She muttered in his ear, being able to get it by with the close proximity.

Artemis' answer was interrupted by the sound of heels clacking against the floor in a fast manner. "Oh, oh, Artemis!" Angeline clattered towards them graciously, a long length of garland in her hands. An excited smile lit up her face as she looked over Holly and embraced her. "You must be Holly." She greeted, "It's very nice to meet you."

"You too. Artemis has told me so much about you, Mrs. Fowl." The elf tried not to be alarmed at her closeness with the woman, pushing away so she could look at her. "It's great to be here."

Angeline smiled back and looked at Artemis. An awkward moment of utter silence passed before the ebony-haired genius clapped his hands together and smiled a fairly uncomfortable expression. "Well, I should get Holly up to her guest bedroom so she can settle in."

The older woman waved her hands in a dismissive gesture. "Oh, don't be silly, Arty. Butler will take her bags up to your room." She turned around to get the manservant from the other room.

Both Holly and Artemis exchanged a wide-eyed glance, thankful that the woman's back was turned. "Mother, I'm sure Holly would be more comfortable in a room of her own."

"So you two can do what? Sneak around at night? No. I'm just making it easier." She saw the terrified looks on their faces and let out a light laugh. "I was young once, Artemis. I know how you feel." She paused, as if thinking for a quick second. "Just...Remember there are two 8 year old boys in this house, alright?" And with that, there was no argument as she turned back around and walked back down to the other room.

Holly shot a helpless look at Artemis and he returned the same look and shrugged. There isn't anything I can do. He thought, apologizing silently to Holly.

Artemis led Holly up to the second floor, where his room was, and left the 2 bags downstairs for Butler and Juliet to pick up. Butler because Angeline told him to...And Juliet out of pure curiosity. They did not know anything about Holly, nor his plan to fool his family.

Well, they were about to find out.

As soon as the door to his room closed behind him, Holly started. "What the hell, Fowl? I have to sleep here with you?" Her voice was in a hushed whisper, as though Angeline was right outside listening to them.

Artemis started pacing the floor, thinking. Things were not going as well as he wanted to, but at least they were going. He ran his hand through the black locks on his head. "I know it's not as we originally planned, but-"

"But what, Artemis? Now everyone's going to think we are sleeping together!" She gave him a disgusted look as the elf looked him up and down. "And you are definitely not my type."

The genius stopped in his tracks, giving the elf an aggravated look. "Thanks for that confidence booster." He commented sarcastically. "Anyway, we should have expected this. My mother is almost, if not is, the most blunt person on the face of this planet."

"And we are adults." Holly stated, rolling her eyes. This was getting more and more uncomfortable by the second. "Your parents probably already believe we did it."

Artemis gave her an astonished look. "I take it back. If she isn't the bluntest person to ever walk this earth, then you are."

The elf chuckled, "I'll take that as a compliment." She joked back, punching the Mud Man on the arm lightly. It was then that a knock came to the door and before Artemis nor Holly could say anything, Juliet barged in through the door, holding one of the two bags from downstairs.

"Hey, Arty. I got your girlf-" She looked up and trailed off, her eyes going wide, then confused when they landed on Holly. It took her a moment, but she finally sputtered something out. "D-Dom!" She called.

Butler's voice was heard from the hallway, carrying the bigger one of the suitcases over his shoulder. "Alright, Juliet, give me a-" He stopped as well, staring at Artemis and Holly, even his eyes widened.

"Close the door before I explain." Artemis turned around, going to sit in his desk chair. Holly's interest peaked as she looked back and forth from Artemis and the Butler's, sitting back against the headboard of Artemis' bed.

Butler closed the door behind him and then looked at Artemis for an explanation. The genius sighed, "This is Holly, turned human temporarily by a device I created. This situation is entirely personal, and Holly is here on her own will."

"So…" Juliet trailed off, a confused look still on her face. "Is she your girlfriend...or not?"

"Of course not." Holly interjected before Artemis could say anything. "I'm just helping the liar here."

Artemis shot her a look that told her to shut up, but it was too late. The secret was already in the air. Butler, still not sure what the hell was happening, finally spoke. "What lie, Artemis?"

The man sighed, "Mother was worried...So, I told her that I had found someone." In all honesty, he was getting tired of explaining all of this. "Someone who may or may not be named Holly…"

Butler shook his head, taking the bag Juliet had in her hands and dropping them both by the dresser. "I am guessing that you want to help or at least act along with you?"

"Well, that would be helpful." Holly responded sarcastically, rolling her eyes. "Sorry." She apologized, bowing her head. "I just got dragged into this as much as you are getting dragged into it."

The blonde with her back against the the door nodded, "So..This is all fake. All the hugs, kisses, hand holding, arms around eachother, mushy gushy stuff is going to be pretend."

"First of all," Artemis started, swinging back and forth with one of his legs crossed over the other in his swivel chair. "There will be no…'mushy gushy' stuff as you proclaim." At which, both of the girls in the room snickered and Artemis sent a glare both of there ways. "And there will be no kissing, period."

Juliet shrugged, just wait until Mrs. Fowl gets them under the mistletoe. "I won't spoil your stupid secret." Her face broke out in a grin as she ran over and tackled Holly into a bear hug. "At least now I have someone my size who I can wrestle."

In a matter of seconds, Holly had the real wrestler pinned down on the mattress and looking up at the two males in the room sheepishly. "I'm guessing you want me to be a bit more...girly...than this?" she shuddered at the word "girly," as though it was grosser than eating a swear toad.

"That would be really good, Holly." Artemis replied, turning to his work, muttering, "Just wait until you have to wear a dress."

"What?" Even with the ring on, it didn't take charge over her ears. The genius turned to smirk at her before looking at Butler, who just shrugged.

Looks like I'm on my own for that… Artemis groaned in his head. "Nothing, dear."
