I still don't own Artemis Fowl. And I can't take over the world, anymore. Damn those sunflowers... Anyone willing to lend me sunflowers that DON'T try to eat me? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------

Cut to Nowhere.

(Nic is in front of the Artemis Fowl characters. A couple of the people at the back can't see her, because everyone else is in the way.)

Mulch: I'm sorry to interrupt your attempts to make us play truth or dare, but I can't see you.

Nic: Oh, that... Um...

(Clicks fingers. A stage grows from under her, so that she can clearly be seen.)

Nic: Is that better?

Mulch: (Nervous) Um... I suppose...

Nic: That's good! Now, who should be in?

(Everyone points at someone else.)

Nic: Hmm... How about... Holly!

Holly: Why me?

Nic: Because I've been wondering something for quite a while.

Holly: Oh, no... This is not a good thing.

Nic: Truth or dare?

Holly: I'd go for dare, but... Knowing you it would be something life threatening. Truth.

Nic: Who are you in love with?

(Holly blushes.)

Nic: You don't want to say? (sighs) Fine.

(Clicks fingers. Everyone except Holly and Nic freeze.)

Holly: What did you do?

Nic: I stopped time, so you can answer my question in private. Wasn't that nice of me?

Holly: What happens if I don't answer?

Nic: Do you really want to find out? After what happened to Fowly?

Holly: Fine... I... I like... Artemis.

Nic: I thought so.

(Clicks fingers. Everyone else starts moving again.)

Artemis: What happened? Holly seems to be in a different place to before.

Nic: I stopped time, so that Holly could answer her question in private.

Artemis: That seems out of character for you. You seem to like tormenting us as much as possible.

Nic: Of course! Now I have the perfect material to black mail Holly!

Holly: Great. At least I didn't say Root or something...

Root: Hey!

Nic: Now, Holly. Who do you want to be in next?

Holly: Artemis.

Nic: Truth or...

Artemis: Truth. I can't see you giving me a pleasant dare. But will you give me privacy, too?

Nic: Sure.

(Clicks fingers. Everyone freezes.)

I'll ask you the same question as I asked Holly.

Artemis: Strange how I guessed that you were going to say that.

Nic: Your answer?

Artemis: (blushed) Holly.

(Nic clicks fingers. Everyone starts moving again.)

Holly: What... did he say?

Artemis: I suggest that you don't tell them.

Nic: Why? If I did you'd thank me later.

Artemis: Highly unlikely.

Nic: Fine. I won't tell them now. But later... And Holly this implies to you, too.

Holly: Great. I thought you were going to use it to blackmail me. Not just repeat it without trying to get anything out of me.

Nic: I changed my mind.

Holly: Great.
