Holly flew silently to a window. She peeked inside. Nope. Not the window she was looking for. She sighed and gazed up at the clear night sky. She would see him again. Not up close of course. She was not going to take a risk. Holly gilded to another window. "Yes." she wispired. Holly gazed on Artemis Fowl in his bed. Even in his sleep he seemed tense. Moonlight sprawled out on his huge, black bed. Artemis's face glowed white by the soft glow. Holly felt tears well up in her eyes but held them back with great effort. Why? Why had she not stopped the mind wipe from happening? But she was too late. She only realized she loved him until after he was swept away from his memories. Holly landed lightly on the windowsill. She scratched in the pockets of her LEP uniform. Her hand brushed up against something that was all crinkled up. A wad of paper. Just what she was looking for. She snatched it out and unwadded it. (I know this might not be a word....not sure...ok back to story) She scanned over the writing on the demolished paper. It was written in Gnommish of course. Holly took a deep breath.. It was her poem she had written out of her small amounts of spare time. At the top of the page was the title that was lazily scribbled "Missed My Chance". She would say it to Artemis's window. This was pointless obviously for the reason the mastermind could not hear it . But it didn't matter to her. Nope.....not to her. If anyone found out about what she was doing Commander Root would grab her badge no doubt. Holly sighed peering out on to the perfectly tended to lawn. Holly then began to recite her poem in a singsong tone of voice, her body trembling trying to hold back tears............................

"Here I am looking out the window watching the clouds roll by Almost a year ago though...it's hard to believe You could... have been mine But I....

Missed my chance for a new romance I could have been by your side But I held back And I dunno why

I missed my chance And if I could go right back I would change everything I've said I guess my heart will never mend

I was blind..... really I was Your deep blue eyes never gave me a buzz You were an enemy to me But we were really meant to be But I....

Missed my chance for a new romance I could have been by your side But I held back And I dunno why

I missed my chance And if I could go right back I would change everything I've said I guess my heart will never mend

All this time I've wasted Trying to hold you back You really did not mean to harm me But I did not see that

I feel angry with myself I get nightmares about you in bed But basically now I don't want to say it All your memories about me are dead I....

Missed my chance for a new romance I could have been by your side But I held back And I dunno why

I missed my chance And if I could go right back I would change everything I've said I guess my heart will never mend

I am doomed in my gloom You will haunt me forever And some day...somehow We might be together...

But it does not do to dwell on dreams Dreams never come true for me I am depressed forever in my darkness Until you give me light to see I....

Missed my chance for a new romance I could have been by your side But I held back And I dunno why

I missed my chance And if I could go right back I would change everything I've said I guess my heart will never mend

Artemis please remember (Even though you can't) Try to think of all the funny times we had

I watch you from your window as you sleep and dream But I hope in all of Haven that you dream of me Oh well I'm an elf Maybe I should find some other guy But I cannot bear to fly away Without saying goodbye...."

Holly's voice trailed off into the darkness. She sighed as she flew away from the wide window, quiet as a whisper. "Goodbye" She murmured, looking fondly back at the slumbering teen on the other side of the window. The wind against her face whooshed away small tears into the sky. She was alone. All alone....at least she thought......

***Ops, Haven....***

Foaly whinnied furiously. "Come in Short? Do you hear me because I can hear you loud and clear.". Foaly growled, "She must have turned off her speaker devices.", then he heard a determined 'Yes' from Short. "What the....!" Foaly exclaimed. Why was she doing this? He had probably annoyed her too far. But no time for sorrow now. Foaly had to instruct her where to check to see if the Fowl creature had somehow retained his knowledge of the People. Without him Holly would be in real danger of getting caught. No wait. She is in danger of getting caught. Foaly loaded Holly's helmet cam. What was she doing? "What in bloody hell are you doing Holly?" Foaly whispered hoarsely under his breath. Holly was flying towards a windowsill. Foaly noticed that window was the one out of many that was in Artemis's bedroom. Foaly should know. He had the whole blueprint to the place. "D'arvit Holly. What in the name of Frond...." Foaly became silent after that. He heard some russling and by the cam, Holly was taking a sorry looking piece of notebook paper from her pocket. What was that? Some instructions maybe? No. Foaly didn't remember writing out directions. Then....sitting on the windowsill Holly began to read the writing on the paper in a light but sad voice. She was speaking in Gnommish naturally. Instantly Foaly was subdued by the her sorrowful voice. It sounded like a poem. A poem? But Foaly was too busy taking in every rhyming word Captain Short sang out like an injured meadowlark. It was so sad. But so...pretty. Foaly had no clue about Holly's other talents besides steering a pod down the chutes the or daring rescue attempts. Foaly began to cry unchecked. Snot ran down his face out of his nose, mangling with his flowing tears. Foaly hadn't cried so much since his girlfriend, Whinny, dumped him. Then he heard a name that sounded familiar near the end of the poem. Who was that? Ardvart...no....Army...Art....Artymuss. "ARTEMIS FOWL!" Foaly bellowed, suddenly coming back to earth. Holly? Fowl? NO! Foaly leaped from his swivel chair. He danced around the Ops booth in disbelief. His hoofs clopping loudly on the floor. "HOLLY AND ARTEMIS! HOLLY AND ARTEMIS!" he chanted as he threw his hands in the air. A pixie walked by Ops and saw Foaly dancing about and throwing his hand wildly in the air. Her merry face paled. But then turned to a smile. "The horsy guy has gone crazy. I told Sheryl he would. She owes me now...haha..." she smirked and walked away as fast as she could. After Foaly calmed down a bit he blew his nose once again. He was still pouring out a small amount of tears from before. Holly was now flying out again. Then Foaly heard a 'bleeeeep'. Holly was on again. Foaly rushed to the headphones (still holding his tissue) and jammed them on his head. Foaly took a deep breath to speak...
