Josco: Yes, another fic.
Liacos: She never stops does she??
Josco: Nope! Never!!!!! Actually I did stop for a while cause of school.
Liacos: Whatever. Anyways. That's not a word, I know. Josco doesn't own anything to do with Artemis Fowl, only this plot. Which, I have to admit, is pretty good this time; Not that I didn't help her of course.
Josco: Yeah right. You were in the Bermuda Triangle all weekend. Then again I didn't think of this plot just this weekend. Oh well!!! Here's the first chappy of many to come.
After the mind wipe. Ch1, Remorse.
Holly circled around the manor where, just seven months ago, she had erased all memories of The People from three people. A few tears rolled down her cheek and she quickly brushed them away. AN officer of the LEP shouldn't be growing attached to some mud-man. Mud-child, in reality, or maybe mud-teen was better fitting.
Artemis, who had just turned 14 in the previous month, and had caused The People the most trouble they'd ever had, was sitting peacefully outside on the patio seeming to be enjoying himself. Then again, he had also seemed to be a genius. 'That's an understatement.' Holly told herself mentally. Seemed to be was, in fact, a great deal of a lie. He had escaped a timefield, something never dome before or after him at 12. And plus that, he had no help in the matter. He thought out the plan all no his own. He also, Holly was sure, wasn't really under the power of her mesmer before the mindwipe. She was so entirely sure that she checked on his house, manor more, daily to make sure nothing was coming up. Not that she actually went in or anything like that, but she checked daily form above.
Today had been her longest excursion yet because of the previous night's events. She and Foaly, a mastermind, paranoid centaur, had been out on their Friday night dinner date. It had been a regular thing ever since the threat of Artemis was 'gone'. She had casually brought up Artemis to see if Foaly had gotten word of any strange activity lately. She had only done that about six times in the last four months and he still blew a fuse about it.
"HOLLY!" He had screamed at her, "Why, can't we ever have a dinner without you bringing that devil up!?!"
"Foaly, what do you mean?" Holly had been quite taken back by his reaction. "This is only the third or fourth time I've brought him up in our five month's time together." She pleaded hoping he would calm down. People were beginning to stare.
"That isn't the point."
"Then what is?" She asked a little perturbed at his childish behavior.
"The point, Holly, is, every time you bring him up, you end up criticizing me. And the whole point of two people to be dating is so they can be together, alone."
"But we are alone. And people wouldn't be paying any attention to us if you hadn't blown a fuse." She stated simply before taking a drink of her wine.
"I feel," he began, "like every time you bring him up he watches us. Making sure that I don't steal you away. Making sure that your heart is still left open for him to take when he regains his memory, no doubt he has a way to. He wants your heart Holly, I'm just protecting you from someone who you don't want to steal you heart." Holly, having found his statement hilarious, began to laugh so hard that her un-swallowed wine was soon shot into Foaly's face. He wiped it off with dignity.
"Artemis?" She asked laughing uncontrollably.
"Wha-? What is so funny?" He asked her.
"Sorry," Holly regained her dignity, "It's just that, it's funny to think of Artemis stealing anything other than gold. Especially my heart." She stopped talking but thought: 'He must be out of his mind; I could never fall for Fowl. That's ridiculous.'
"Foaly, I wouldn't; I couldn't ever fall for him." She said lovingly to him.
"Don't try to sweet talk me! We're through!!!" He stormed away.
Some tears flowed, unchecked, down Holly's cheeks and they splattered on the roof of the very room where she had once been held captive. All the memories of that experience came flooding back to her. Her capture, Commander Root actually caring for her, Foaly... She stopped right about there. It was too painful.
"Foaly couldn't be right. There is no way I'm falling for a creep like Artemis. And there's no way he could remember me. Damn I miss Foaly." She flew back home.
Back in headquarters Foaly sat at his computer crying his eyes out. Why had he yelled at her? Why had he stormed out on her?? What had he been thinking? There was no way Artemis- His thoughts were interrupted by a sigh and then Holly's voice resounding in his room.
"Foaly couldn't be right." There was a pause and Foaly looked around hoping to see Holly in his room waiting for him to see her. "There is no way I'm falling for a creep like Artemis. And there's no way he could remember me. Damn I miss Foaly." She sighed again and said nothing more. A tear rolled down his furry face, unheeded.
"Touching isn't it?" Root asked from the doorway scaring Foaly out of his wits.
"Wha-? How did you get in here?" Foaly asked him horribly confused and surprised. "You're not supposed to be emotional about you officers. You're an official."
"Well, it's hard not to be when the officer you're talking about is your niece."
"You're not serious. I mean, that can't, that, that can't be true! You've got to be kidding me! You're Holly's uncle?!"
"Foaly, I think you've gone off the deep end." Holly's voice came on again. "If you think making up some crack-pot story about Root being my uncle will make me accept an apology or something like that you really have lost your marbles."
"You don't believe me?"
"No."
"Ask Root! He's here!"
"It's easy to recreate a voice especially for someone like you. You're a genius remember?" Holly remarked mockingly.
"Humph."
"Holly," Commander Root began, "It's true. I'm right here. You're my adopted niece. I adopted you after your mother died. That's why I've always given you more than one chance."
"Really? Then tell me how to spell my middle name."
"Holly, I want you to get back here ASAP so I can prove to you I'm your uncle. And what does it matter how to spell your middle name? You don't have one."
"Ok, 'Commander Root'. I'll be right there."
"Don't mock me Short."
Josco: So... What'd ya think?? The part from '"Humph."' On was all on the moment. I didn't have anything else written after that so I just improvised.
Liacos: Well, I think it turned out fine. R & R please!!!!!
Liacos: She never stops does she??
Josco: Nope! Never!!!!! Actually I did stop for a while cause of school.
