"Haven?"
"Yes, Haven, we're sneaking in."
I raised an eyebrow at him, but shrugged.
Holly walked in, a packsack in each hand.
"Here, I got these from foaly. Their elf costumes. Synthetic of course, and Artemis will have to crouch down, But Tessa's short enough...Just a tad bit tall."
I glared at her for the short comment, but grabbed the sac and walked into the bathroom anyways.
I stuck the prosthetic ears over my own, and they morphed to fit. I could even hear out of them!! I used the cream that was in the bag, and rubbed it ALL over my body...well excluding the personal...parts. I walked out, and laughed at Artemis.
He looked really awkward, and next to Holly he looked like a Elf on steroids!
"We'll just tell them that we're half and half." he said, pulling at the ears."Foaly??" he asked Holly, and she nodded.
"If I had his help all the time..."
"Can it Fowl. You swore you'd stop that."
Artemis smiled innocently, and I snorted as I noticed his fingers crossed behind his back.
"Let's get going! Trouble's waiting."
"Trouble? Trouble Kelp?"
"the one and only."Holly replied, and handed each of us a set of Humming Birds Z7.
Then she wrapped us up in Cam Foil.
"There" she said, and I looked at Artemis. He looked like a present. Almost. I could still see his eyes through, which were sticking out of the holes she had made. I saw an odd look in his eye, then it dissapeared. I shrugged it off.
"So how do these work?" I asked, nodding to the wings.
"Can't tell you. But I will start them up for you. They're steered by your body movements by the way."
I nodded, and walked around in a circle.
"So, when are we leaving?" I asked, and Artemis spoke."Now."
We walked up to the roof and Holly started the wings and we took off.
I got ahold of it easily and quickly, whilst Artemis...well he was a tad bit slower.
We ended upin front of s bush, which Holly walked through. The bush was of course, a hologram.
We entered a bustling station, where a shuttle or...something, was being loaded.
"LAST CALL FOR SHUTTLE 357 TO HAVEN CITY!!!!!!"
Holly ripped the cam foil off and we darted for the shuttle taking off the wings as we went.
Holly shoved them into her moonpack
(Like a
moonbelt, only it's a packsack) and we clambered on board.
"Holly,
FINALLY!" A guy called out, jogging towards them.
"And I
see you brought visitors" he said, winking.
I snorted."Hey Holly, who's this your boyfriend?"
I saw a blush flash across her face then dissapear in an instant.
"No, this is Trouble Kelp." She said, and Trouble winked again."Pleased to meet you."
We were taken to Holly's house where we were given a room to share.
This is lovelyeye roll
"SHORT WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!!!"Sool snapped, putting his pudgy hands on his fat hips.
"Same thing I was doing yesterday."
"AND WHO ARE THESE?!!!" he screamed, pointing at Artemis and Me.
"Same people we were yesterday." I snapped impatiently, and stomped past him into Foaly's office.
"We've been here for almost a month and that fat headed moron asks the SAME questions, EVERYDAY!!!!!!" I exploded and plopped down onto his spinny chair.
"Don't you dare start spinning." Artemis warned as he locked the door behind him.
"I finally got the cam's online. They're in every room of that house." Foaly said, and sat down in his specially designed chair, satisfied and pleased at his work.
Artemis
and I looked at the screens.
Their mom was in the kitchen cooking
and talking with their dad who sat at the kitchen
table.
Genia-er-Opal was in her bedroom reading a magazine, and Seth was-
"EW GROSS THAT IS SO WRONG SHUT IT OFF DAMNIT!!!!" I cried and slapped my fingers over my eyes.
Seth
was getting out of the shower.
IK!!!!
Foaly chuckled
and shut it off.
"Sorry." he said, and sat back down in
his chair.
Artemis however was still peering at the screen.
"Interesting..." he muttered, and tapped something in on the keyboard.
"She's not so dumb afterall." he said, and tapped the screen.
"What are you talking about?"
"That's not her..." he said, and I looked at the screen closely."Your right..."
"But where would she be..."
In the Room behind the Room
"That mud boy thinks he can outsmart me...Let's just see." Opal Cackled, and hit a big red button.
Out of the chimney of the house a shimmering ball of air arose and flew off towards Fowl Manor.
Fowl Manor
The ball of air/light flew into Tessa's room, and lodged itself on the ceiling, blending in perfectly.
Away in the room, Opal cackled, and sat down on her chair
(Which isn't spinny. she doesnt DESERVE a spinny chair.)
Back in Foaly's room
"maybe she's at school?"
"Tessa,
If she was at school, why would she have the hologram there? She
would need her parents to think she was at school, so she would have
stuck the hologram at the school." Artemis countered
"It
was just an idea." I muttered, and glared at the idiot in front
of me
Stupid know it all
But you liiikke him
WHAT PART OF NO DO YOU NOT COMPREHEND?!!!
Why are you yelling at yourself
Because you irritate me! And you not me, your that stupid little voice that flits around annoying people
"Are you sure you didn't see anything odd in that house." Artemis said, and tapped the screen again
"Unless you mean the hideouse gorilla and his ego, no."
Artemis gave me the evil eye."Shut up." he snapped
"What?!"
"I heard you when you first saw him. You thought he was me." He said, and glared at me some more.
"S'not my fault your ugly." I snapped back
He leaned in towards me"You didn't seem to think that when you went on a date with him." He hissed.
That was it.
It one swift movement I slapped that idiotic egotistical-
Don't you start rambling again
Shut up!
-Jerk across the face.
Holly jumped in between
us, holding me back.
"STOP IT YOU TWO!"
"HE/SHE
STARTED IT!!!!!" the two of us screamed at the same time,
pointing at eachother.
"The whole faerie world is at
stake, would you two PLEASE stop fighting!" Trouble said, and
looked at the bickering two.
"I thought you were engaged,
your supposed to love eachother. You don't see Holly and Me scrapping
like that." He said, then his eyes widened in fear."D'Arvit"
he hissed
"You and Holly aren't...waaaaaaaiit a second, ARE YOU?!!!!" I screamed excitedly.
Holly slapped her forehead.
"When?!" Artemis said, raising a curious eyebrow.
Holly sighed" Long time ago. Don't tell anyone though! If Sool catches wind of who Trouble's marrying he'll put a stop to it."
I danced a little jig, and made a zipping motion over my lips."Your secret's safe with me." I said, and Artemis raised his hand slightly."As with me." he said, and folded his arms again.
"AGH!! FUCK SCREWS!! WHERE IS SHE?!!!!" I cried, pulling at my hair.
"calm down there mud girl, we're still looking."
"..." Artemis was silent, then he said."Do a bio scan in the house, then place a diagram of the house overtop." He said, and Foaly huffed" I could have thought of that myself."
"Horsey boy just do it." I snapped, severely irritated. I did not like being cooped up for hours.
Foaly glared at me, but tapped a few keys on his keyboard, and a virtualimage of the house, with thermal images moving around inside."Those are their bodies." he said, and pointed to the thermal patches.
I nodded, and pointed to one
between Gen's room and Seth's room.
"That's not a room."
I said.
"What do you mean?"
"That wasn't there
before."
