Here's the second chapter ya'll! EC spoilers!
Disclaimer: I only own Car'khl and the Rio Vanesco (Its a resteraunt that t.k, h.s, and a.f. go to) And the plot which I hope nobody steals, or I will get the theif banned from the internet.
OPERATIONS BOOTH
"What the heck is going on here?" asked Trouble sitting himself in a chair.
Artemis and Holly looked around uncomfortably. But Foaly's mouth went a mile a minute.
"Well," the centaur began. "Car'khl is this real idiot changeling goblin."
"Go on." Said Trouble.
"Okay,okay," Foaly said putting his hooves up. "He tried to shoot Holly but her boyfriend Artemis protected her by taking the bullet himself." He added with the snicker.
"HE IS NOT MY BOYFRIEND!" shouted Holly. She looked over at Artemis who could feel his cheeks on fire. The teenager pretended to be really interested in his shoes, since he could not bare to look at any of them.
Trouble rolled his eyes. "Your point?"
Foaly sighed. "Well, Holly of course could not stand to see him hurt (Holly clenched her fists behind her back) so she healed him. And she got a whole new look and she can't touch Artemis."
"Well why can't I touch him?" asked Holly. "After all of those dumb test you must have learned SOMETHING."
"Oh, you want to know what the problem is so you can fix it?" asked Foaly sarcastcally. Holly's nails dug further into her palms.
This is SO embarrassing, thought Artemis.
"Alright, science for morons." Foaly said. "Basically, a fairy's normal blood tempature 102.3 degrees farenhight, give or take a few points."
"So?"
'So, you're blood tempature is 179.4! You've got a body that needs all the heat it can get." Foaly continued. "When you touch Artemis you steal his body heat and push him into hypothermia. If you hold on long enough, you could kill him."
Holly gave a worried sigh. "But why just him? The second I touch the Mud Boy he loses power. But I've shaken Butler's bare hand. And as one of your tests I touched your arm. And I grabbed Trouble's neck in here."
Foaly shrugged. " I'm still working on that philosophy. I think it has something to do with you healing him and all of that."
Artemis felt that his face had gone back to it's pale color, so he spoke. "But what about the B'wa Kell? And why did Holly grown so tall? And where is Root?"
Foaly grinned in satisfaction. "Finally, something I know! Okay, Root is on vacation in Tara. He'll be back in three weeks." Then his face turned grim. "And it turns out the B'wa Kell was a red hering. Car' Khl is doing this with a partner, but we don't know who it is yet." (A/N Remember who it is?)
"And her height?" asked Trouble.
"When she healed Fowl it sped up her growth, kind of like with Butler. Sped it up by about 1 ½ to 2 years by the looks of it." Foaly replied.
"So why does she need to be tested?" said Trouble getting impatiant. Commander Joleson would not want him to be late for work.
"Well, I think there is something about her, like a power of some sort that I think I can unleash."
"Listen, I'd love to chat some more but if I don't get to Retrieval now, Joleson's gonna be on my butt like white on rice."
"Oh, don't worry. I contacted him when You, Holly and Fowl were talking, and frankly he is fine with it." Foaly replied
"Honest?"
"Honest to Frond."
Trouble grinned and sat down in his chair.
"Uh, Foaly?" asked Holly.
"Uh- huh?" replied the centaur absently.
"What now?"
"More tests. We will start seeing how much heat you can withstand and then we will move on to starting fires and then we will train you in weaponry and martial arts, and then you will take an opstical course test."
Holly nodded weakly. "Okay, cool." She muttered
WHOA YEAH. That was kind of a reminder of what happened in Fire Goddess 1. Next, it gets good because Artemis creams Holly in fencing and she, Trouble and Artemis disguise themselves as chefs to get into the Rio Vanesco because car' khl will be there on a stakeout mission and Car'khl throws Trouble into a cake and..... wait a minute! Why am I telling you the whole story! You will just have to read it for your self! Man, I wish I could make this into a mini-series web cam show and post it on the web.
Now Review please! (and No flames about Root being on vacation, please!)
