chapter 4: tea time epiphanies
10:00 am fowl manor backyard:
Artemis, Butler and Holly all came to an agreement before they started Artemis's work out sessions, that agreement states that Artemis gets at least three days off from his work out sessions to 'recover' from his 'injuries' ,so thats why today Artemis and Holly where enjoying a surprisingly warm and sunny day for ireland with some tea, well Artemis was drinking tea, Holly was drinking a batch of coffee
"Holly, i said that we should enjoy this day with some tea, so why did you ask Butler for coffee" asked Artemis
" for multiple reasons, one: i need the wake up boost it gives me, two: Butlers coffee is better then sim-coffee, and three: i knew it would bug you" Holly gave a mischievous smile at the last reason, Artemis couldnt resist smiling at the last reason aswell, he didnt know if it was because Holly was smiling, or because he found her jibes becoming more and more amusing with everyday they spent together, that last explanation sent shivers down his spine at the thought of them being together,and then he was filled with saddness from the memory of Holly yelling at Butler about the reasons that she couldnt be with Artemis
"Arty... Arty...ARTY!" Holly yelled
"wha... what?"asked a confused Artemis
"are you ok you zoned out there for a minute" explained Holly
"oh... sorry i was contemplating on a deep subject, i doubt you would be interested though" said Artemis, covering his thoughts
" ok... anyway what do you think" asked Holly
"think of what" Artemis asked, confused at what she was refering to
" what do you think of No1 finally making contact after a year of being on the moon base" clarified Holly
"oh.. well i look forward to seeing one of my most trusted friends" replied Artemis
" im surprise you actually trust him, well i cant blame you No1 is friendly to everyone, just watch out when he's hyper" chuckled Holly
"really? , when is he not hyper" exclaimed Artemis
"you obviosly have not seen him when he drinks coffee, we used to spend our coffee breaks talking, and apperintly cafine makes his magic stronger, he once told me he could change a giraffe into a toad, but with an extreme amount of left over skin" Holly smiled at the memory but Artemis was no longer paying attention
" what? what did you just say " asked Artemis getting serious all of a sudden
"about what" asked Holly seeking clarity
"about No1's magic" clarified Artemis
"oh well before he left he said that he had enough magic to turn a giraffe into a toad, that was just before he gave me the magical make-over and made it so i cant be possessed again, why" asked Holly concered for where this conversation was going
"well that just seems ridiculous, but if No1 said he can do it i dont doubt it" said Artemis with his thinking face on, this however got Holly even more concerned
"Artemis, your not thinking of using him in some sort of get more money scheme, are you" asked Holly scared of the answer
"no, Holly i have respect for my friends now, i would never do that again, i promised you didnt i" said Artemis, with regret for his old ways evident in his voice
"i will believe you this time, but i swear get that young demon in trouble, and you will have me to deal with, got that" Holly said in a stern voice which caused Artemis to unconsciously move away from the fiery red head
" g..got it... so when should i expect this message" asked Artemis still afraid of Holly
"you seem to have gotten really distracted if you forgot something this important, but anyway No1 will be contacting us in three days, so be ready then ok"
"ok, i will make the preperations ready the morning of the day that he will be communicating with us" said Artemis
"good thinking, that way you can keep working out "
"yes speaking of which it is time for my daily jog, do you wish to join me?" asked Artemis
"sure" replied Holly
"ok just give me time to change out of my suit and then we will head out" said Artemis who got up and went inside the manor to change, Holly didnt need to change because for the past few days of Artemis's work out sessions, she had made sure that she was ready to work out at any moment so she wouldnt miss a moment of artemis's 'attempts' at gaining some muscle mass, although she had to admit that Artemis had seemed to have taking a liking to jogging, especially with her
she was pulled out of her thoughts at the sight of Artemis in his jogging outfit, standing at the door waiting for her, so she got up off her lounger and they started jogging their routein path they had been jogging for since the second day of Artemis's work out sessions, they dicided that they would never take the first path they took, it was just too painfull for them both
meanwhile in the LEP ops both, haven city:
Foaly was hard at work, even though haven city had mostly been rebuilt there was still alot of work to do, and Foaly and his cousins where up to their ears in work, and Foaly had incentive to get the work done as fast as possible, for after he had saved his wife Caballines life he had decided that ,even for fairies, life is too short and he had promised her that after he gets haven up and running again, that they could go on a vacation, and possibly sneak a visit to thier favorite mud-man and elf, after all its not fair to let Holly hog him all to herself now is it, anyway he can ask Artemis about him and Caballine visiting in a few days when No1 calls them, but untill then he had work but yet another distraction has apeared, or is about to apear and how could Foaly tell? well he could smell the fairy walking down the halls of the LEP
"hey! Foaly whats up?" asked Mulch who had been visiting Foaly alot more since he started his counciling
"Mulch what do you want, im up to my ears in work" said a somewhat irratated Foaly
"well, im just comming from the Argon clinic and well, i figured if i have to give up being a criminal, then what will i do with my talents?" asked Mulch
"i dont know Mulch, why are you asking me this anyway" Foaly said face never leaving the screens in front of him
"well i was hoping you could get me a job here at the LEP" Mulch said in a silent tone
Foaly turned very slowly to face the only dwarf he would consider calling a freind "what" Foaly said, unsure if he heard right
"i want to keep using my talents and i figured they would be put to good use here at the LEP" exclaimed Mulch
Foaly's mouth just droped as fast as Mulch's when he see's food
"are you joking" asked Foaly
"do i look like im joking" said a straight faced Mulch
"no... and thats what scares me" said Foaly
"look, can you just ask trouble if i can get atleast a field job or something to keep me busy, i dont want to end up back in prison" pleaded Mulch
" well Mulch, since i think of you as someone who i can consider as a friend, i will see what i can do" said Foaly with a toothy grin "besides i think you will make things a little more interesting here for me since Holly is still on the surface with Artemis"
"still... how long has she been up there for?" asked Mulch scratching his beard
"well she's been up there since Artemis was revived, and that was about six and a half months ago" said Foaly
" wow so she's been up there for that long"
" yeah, she keeps using the excuse that someone could want to take revenge on him for something that he did, and the council keeps agreing to let her stay because Artemis is now the official No1 friend of the people" exclaimed Foaly
" i heard that too, hey do you think that they will erect a statue to him" asked Mulch
"that would be ironic, erecting a statue to a 'savior' named Artemis, were not the greeks Mulch" chuckled Foaly "now if you will excuse me Mulch i have a load of work to do, i will tell Trouble of your 'request' and i will let you know what he says, but untill then goodbye"
"ok thanks cya around noble steed-"
"STOP THAT MULCH!" yelled Foaly at the retreting dwarf
back at fowl manor:
Holly and Artemis were returning from thier jog together, when Artemis spied a letter sitting on the table by the doors, he picked it up to find that it was from Minerva addressed to him, so he brought it with him as he and Holly made thier way to the dinning room for diner
"what do you have there" asked Holly after they sat down
" a letter from Minerva appearintly" said Artemis
"you know if she is so smart why doesnt she just call you?" asked Holly
Artemis gave her a dirty look that turned into a small smile
"well maybe it is something formal like an invintation" replied Artemis
"well we wont know until you open it now will we" said Holly
"no we wont so shall i open it"
"no i was planning on ripping it from your hands and reading it myself" Holly said with sarcasm
so to that Artemis opened the envelope slowly at first to torture Holly but about a fourth of the way he relised he didnt want to get on her bad side and opened the rest of the letter as fast as he could, he pulled out the letter which was actualy a card, artemis read the card slowly to make sure he understood it all correctly before he told Holly what it was about
"well Holly i was right it is an invintation" said Artemis in his errogant voice
"an invintation to what, is it her birthday or is she throughing a ball or something" Holly asked curiosly
"well you are not going to believe this but it is an invintation to Minerva's..." Artemis drew the sentance on building the pressure until Holly couldnt take it any more so true to her word she got up and ripped the card right out of Artemis's hands and read it herself then ...she read it again... and again... and again
"i dont believe this" stated Holly
"now you know why i was building on the pressure" said Artemis
"this is really big" said Holly
"yes,yes it is Holly"
"so are you going to go " asked Holly
"well it would be the right thing to do, but only on one condition" said Artemis
"and what would that be Artemis" asked a curious Holly
"that you accompany me...to Minerva's wedding" said Artemis
"oh...well... i cant im an elf Artemis and besides i dont have anything to wear to something like that" said Holly looking for excuses
"Holly your hair has grown so no one can see your ears, and i could have a dress for you in no time" said Artemis
Holly looked at Artemis for minutes thinking about going or not when once agian her heart took over
"i would love to go with you Arty" said Holly 'crap why did i say it like that' is what holly thought though
"thank you Holly atleast now there will be someone i actually like thats going, well besides butler that is"
Holly's heart fluttered when Artemis said that he liked her, and then she scolded herself for thinking that he had meant that he had liked her anymore then a friend, then her heart ached at that thought, and she scolded herself again
authors note:well there it is chapter 4, and yes i decided that Minerva should get married, it is a story about love and dont worry there will be alot more
