Chapter 4: A New Friend

Trouble drove them to Tara in an un-marked cruiser. They were ten minutes away from the shuttle port when they hit a construction block. Trouble flashed his badge at the gnome controlling traffic.

"Sorry officer. Can't let ya through while the machine is going. Your goanna have to wait a couple of minutes," the gnome said over the machine. Trouble sighed.

"All right, just hurry up." Holly snapped from the passengers' seat. The gnome left to make sure that the crew was almost done. Holly and Trouble sat in silence until Trouble finally broke it.

"Holly, about what happened at my apartment," he said quietly. She looked over at him. "I-I….I'm sorry about that. I guess I just got caught up in the heat of the moment." He finished lamely.

"Yeah. Me too," Holly said, her voice just above a whisper. She turned her gave away from Trouble and looked out the window as the gnome waved them threw. Trouble sighed and drove on. He didn't get caught up in the heat moment. The truth was that Trouble really liked Holly. He was just too blind to see it. It took Holly to go missing for three years for him to realize it. Trouble had hoped that maybe, just maybe, Holly felt the same way. But it seemed that she didn't feel the same way. At least that was what it looked like on the surface. Underneath Holly was going crazy. She wanted Trouble to stop the car and sweep her off her feet. She looked over at him, remembering what he had said to her as they pulled into Tara's shuttle port. Holly and Trouble got out of the car and quickly went to the entrance. When they reached the surface they found a small surprise waiting for them. It was snowing outside.

"Wow," Trouble said as they walked outside shielded. "It's so beautiful out here." Holly nodded her head in agreement.

"The last time I saw snow was when I went to the Artic with…." Her voice trailed off. Trouble looked over at her but she turned her head away from him. They stood in silence for a long time. "Did you mean it?" Holly asked suddenly breaking the wintry silence.

"Mean what?" Trouble asked.

"What you said to me back at your apartment. About-." She was cut off by her communicator. "Yes?" She said answering it.

"We're coming down the lane now." Artemis said. No sooner than Holly put the communicator down than the Fowl's Bentley came down the snowy lane and pulled over to a stop on the side of it. Three people got out of the car and started to walk towards Holly and Trouble. Holly could make out Butler and Artemis, but who was the third figure? He was shorter than her and was holding Artemis's hand. She put two and two together and felt her stomach drop.

"Pleases don't tell me he-." Holly started to say but stopped when the group reached them.

"Hello Artemis, Butler." Trouble said and noticed the short third person. "And who is this?"

"This is Myles Fowl. The oldest of the twins by two minutes," Artemis said.

"Why is he here?" Holly asked him. Artemis shuffled his feet.

"Well, Becket is with Juliet back at Fowl Manor. He has a cold and Myles needed to get out of the house."

"So you brought him to Haven?!" Holly exclaimed. "Artemis this is not a baby-sitting service!"

"I assure you Captain that Myles has manners and will not touch a thing while he is with us." She pinched the bridge of her nose and slowly shook her head.

"I don't know what I'm going to do with you," she muttered.

"I told him to call first before bringing Myles along with us," Butler said.

"That would have been nice. I could have gotten a bigger car." Trouble said wondering how all 5 of them were going to fit in the car. Myles tugged on Artemis's sleeve.

"Arty, who are you talking to? I hear voices but I don't see anyone," he said with a small voice, "I'm not loosing my mind am I?" Holly's face softened and she gave Myles a small smile. Okay, so maybe he's not so much like his brother.

"I'm talking to my invisible friends Holly and Trouble. Would you like to meet them?" Artemis asked.

"They aren't going to hurt me are they?" Myles asked timidly. Holly and Trouble laughed and Butler gave a light chuckle.

"You? No. But your big brother? That's up for debate." Artemis glared at Butler as Holly and Trouble doubled over in laughter and Myles went into a small giggling fit.

"Ok. I'll meet them," he said after he was done with his giggle fit. "But how can I see them if they are invisible?" Artemis looked over where Holly and trouble were standing.

"Well," Trouble said walking over to Myles and kneeled down in front of him, "If you ask nicely, close your eyes and believe hard enough, Holly and I can become visible for you."

"Really?" He asked wide-eyed.

"Yup." Trouble said. Suddenly he was hit in the head with a snowball.

"Or you can throw snowballs at him." Holly said tossing a snowball up and down.

"And why would he do that?" Trouble asked standing up.

"It's more fun," she said grinning and threw the snowball at him. Myles and Butler laughed as Trouble dropped to the ground to avoid the snowball and threw a snowball back at Holly. She ducked and the snowball hit Artemis in the face.

"Can we go in now?" Artemis asked whipping the snow away from his face.

"Yes," Trouble said as Holly hit him in the head again with another snowball, "Before Holly bombards us with any more snowballs."

"Go in where?" Myles asked looking around. Holly walked over to him after throwing another snowball at Artemis and knelt down in front of him.

"It's hidden," she whispered to him.

"Then how do we get in?"

"Take my hand and I'll show you how to get inside," Holly said.

"Where is your hand?" Myles asked her. She just let her right hand shimmer into view. "Whoa," he whispered wide-eyed. That is so cool." He said taking her hand. Holly led the group into the shuttle port. Trouble shook his head.

"I knew Holly was good at negotiation. But I never knew she was so good with kids," he said to Artemis and Butler as they followed Holly into the port.

"WHOA! This is awesome!" They heard Myles exclaim as they walked inside the warm shuttle port. Holly had already unshielded and took her helmet off. Artemis took a good look at her and noticed her hair.

"I like what you did with your hair Captain Short," he said as she picked Myles up.

"That's Major Short to you," she said grinning.

"Major?" Butler asked with a small smirk. "When did that happen?"

"About a month ago," Trouble said coming into view. Myles gasped becoming even more wide-eyed, that it was only a matter of time before his eyes popped out of his little head.

"Congratulations Holly," Artemis said.

"Thanks," she said putting Myles back on the ground. Suddenly Trouble's fairy communicator rang. He quickly answered it.

"Yes?"

"Commander, you need to get back to Police Plaza with Holly and Artemis ASAP. Nyel and his goons just sent us a message." Foaly said quickly.

"Okay. We'll be there soon," he said and hung up. "You heard Foaly. Let's move out." Butler picked Myles up and followed Holly, Trouble and Artemis to the cruiser.
