"Hey, Juliet." Butler said.
"What?" Juliet said.
"You see Artemis anywhere?" Butler asked.
"No, his shift's about over." Juliet said. "He probably cut out early. That's the problem with
the world today. People are lazy. "
"I heard that with my bad ear." Butler said.
"What is that?" Juliet said.
"Hey, Juliet, you think the leveler can handle this baby?" Butler said.
"Sure. That leveler eats everything." Juliet said.
"Kinda like you." Butler said.
"How many times a day I gotta threaten your life?" Butler said.
The Hexxus hissed as the leveler broke the seal.

"I've got so many things I want to ask you." Holly said. "Like, why have humans returned to the forest? And what was that monster that tried to eat you?"
"That wasn't a monster. That was a machine." Artemis said.
"What's a "machine"?" Holly said.
"It's a... a thing... for cutting down trees." Artemis said.
"That's terrible." Holly said.
Artemis chuckled. "Only if you live in a tree."
"I do live in a tree." Holly said.
"Oh." Artemis said.
"You didn't have anything to do with that "machine," did you?" Holly said.
"Uh, what, me?" Artemis said. "No. No, no. No, of course not. How could I have anything to do
with something that eats trees?"
"Could it come to FernGully?" Holly asked.
"Oh, no, no. Of course not. You've got nothing to worry about." Artemis said.
"Why?" Holly said.
"Because, um, it's trapped." Artemis said.
"Oh, I know. By those red marks." Holly said. "It can't go past them. Well, they must be magic."
"Yeah!" Artemis said. "You know, you're pretty smart, fairy."
"I want to learn magic like yours." Holly said.
"Yeah?" Artemis said. "Uh, w-well, here. Come here."
He struck a match.
"What is it?" Holly said.
"It's fire." Artemis said.
"That's fire?" Holly said. "Ow!"
"Careful!" Artemis said.
