(yawn) I'm full of energy but so tired and bored..... I guess I'll go put
up another chapter of Fire Goddess, or go see if the Spirit Sabre is
updated (I LOVE THAT STORY) or see if Hunter Returns is updated...(yawn) I
might be an insomniac..........CAMP IS OVER! I did my last performance at
Dock Street Theatre today. It was an acting camp.
But how can I be so tired if it's only 8:30?
Disclaimer: I only own Car'k, ah...Oh..huh....(yawns loudly).........I need a nap.....
Chapter 5, or it might be 6, I can't remember (yawn).......
OPERATIONS BOOTH
Foaly didn't even bother to ask who the caller was, as the person on the other line hung up. He somehow automatically knew it was Car'Khl. Who else?
Holly rushed in with Trouble and Artemis. Foaly needed to talk to Holly alone.
"Trouble," he began. "Go check with Joleson about another few days leave." Trouble nodded and went out the door.
"And Fowl," Foaly added. "Go to your dorm and fill your ice bucket with water. I want to have one around incase of a fire." He shot a glance at Holly. Artemis nodded suspiciously and went to his rented dormitory.
"And me?" Holly asked.
"I need to tell you something." Foaly replied sternly.
Holly looked puzzled. "What?"
"You know that Car'Khl was working with a partner right?"
Holly nodded.
"Well ol' Mulch called. Been doing Car'Khl dirty work. But he found out who he was working for." Foaly continued.
Holly rolled her eyes. "Who, himself?"
Foaly sighed. "Opal Koboi."
"Oh no." Holly said. "But she's locked away at Howlers Peak. We don't have to worry about her."
Foaly shook his head. "According to Mulch, she's got some extra power. But he didn't know what it does."
"And when do we start trusting Diggums?"
"Because. He gave his life to get us this info."
Holly gasped. Mulch would never have done that unless it was life threatening. It just wasn't his style. It especially wasn't his style to get in league with a goblin. Even if Car'Khl couldn't throw flameballs, he probably could change into a goblin that could.
"Don't tell Trouble. He probably wouldn't care. But you might want to pay a visit to Dorm 1135." Foaly said thoughtfully.
HAVEN DORM #1135
Artemis searched through his cabinets until he found the ice bucket and took it over to the sink. He turned the dial to cold, for good measure, and waited. Water close to Earth's core was very hot to begin with. (A/N Ha! I didn't miss that, even though I'm half asleep!)
There was a knock on the door. Artemis went to open it to find Holly standing in front of it.
"Prove it." Artemis said.
"Pex and Chips like Barney." Holly said shrugging.
"Come in." Artemis said after a few moments. "Why are you here? Your water takes a long time to cool down. And the elevators were slow today...."
"Forget the water!" Holly snapped and stepped in. Artemis closed the door behind her. "Foaly just got an urgent call from Mulch. It told us allot about Car'Khl's scheme. He's working with Opal Koboi."
"Isn't she in jail?"
"Yes, but she's gotten the power to get out." Holly replied. "Anyway, Mulch paid a price to tell us this."
"More jail time?" asked Artemis hopefully.
Holly shook her head. "I wish that were so. No, the price he paid, was, his life." She paused, knowing this would affect Artemis very much.
"I don't believe it." Artemis said weakly.
Holly left all cares behind her and put one arm around his shoulders. She knew what it was like to lose a friend. Her parents were like her best friends.
"Oh, by the way. I have something for you." Artemis said and went to one of his cabinets and pulled out a pair of black swade gloves.
"They should fit you well since they're mine. Our hands are pretty much the same size." He said and handed her the gloves. When she tried them on, she touched Artemis's arm. There was no effect. Holly grinned.
"Thank you. I'll never take them off." She said.
NEXT DAY
Foaly was running scans on Car'Khl's location. He was heading towards Haven, but instead of Police Plaza, the changeling was heading to The Rose Marquee, a famous hotel in the fairy world. In the Rose was the Rio Vanesco, so called the best restaurant underground. You had to make reservations to get in, or else you'd be sitting in the waiting room for about 4 and a half days. At minimum.
And reservations were hard to get.
Trouble saw this and laughed. "So Car' Khl wants to stop by the Rio Vanesco to get some 'fancy' food eh?" He sighed. "I've only had the pleasure of eating there once. Wait a minute..."
Holly grinned. "Me too."
Trouble's eye's widened. "You wouldn't dare!" he hissed.
Holly's grin widened. "Oh yes, Trubs. I would."
"What happened?" asked Artemis.
"Beyond what you may assume, I didn't meet Trouble at work." Holly replied wickedly. "We were set up on a blind date by our parents about 40 years back. Our dad's were the best in Retrieval, you know. Best friends too. We were unemployed."
"Anyway, I hadn't met Holly yet," Trouble said. "So I did. The end."
"I don't think so!" Holly said laughing. "Our 'rents got together and set us up on a blind date at Rio Vanesco."
"So?" asked Foaly.
"So," continued Holly. "Trouble ordered what HE wanted to for me. And I swear he stepped on my foot at least 7 times on the dance floor!"
"I was young!" exclaimed Trouble. "I've had much more experience."
"With who?" chuckled Artemis.
"Lilly Frond. And Candace too. And Jacquelyn!" Trouble replied triumphantly.
Holly burst out laughing. "First of all, Candace and Jackie had crushes on your brother. As for Lilly, you should start feeling cheap if you can't get anything better then her."
"Well you, don't you?" Trouble choked.
"Sorry, but we had our thing and it's over. But rest assured Ryan, I'm not going after Grub any time soon." Holly said gently then covered her mouth. Trouble looked rather hurt, until he noticed she had called him Ryan. His old name, before his manhood ceremony, when he changed it to Trouble. She couldn't bare to look at him so she walked over to Foaly and helped him.
"Ryan, eh? Is Trouble just a nickname?" Artemis asked.
Trouble scowled. "You wouldn't understand."
"How old are you?" Artemis asked out of curiosity.
"106." Trouble replied absently.
"Aren't you a little old to be going after Holly?"
"Aren't you a little young?"
****AUTHORS NOTE**** Yeah! More Fowl/Kelp rivalry! Ryan! I had to put that in. Now we know that Trubs and Holly had something in the past. Hmm....there will be no Grub/Holly, er......We know what the Rio Vanesco is!
And how hard it is to get in....(wink, nudge)
And um.... Oh! Review response!
Aks: Thanks for being so deticated. Okay, I guess you ARE a little paranoid about updates, but isn't everybody? What else....yeah I was really bored when the last chapter was written so I didn't put much Arty/Holly fencing in it. I think that's about it. I'm trying to pay more attention to this story now that I have about twice the computer time I had and I'm not writing any other serious storys write now
