Josco: Well, this is actually coming fairly quickly now, considering I wrote for an hour and a half. Oh well, I got a lot done. I don't own the Artemis Fowl series, characters or plot twists... other than my own.
Liacos: This chapter is good. My, my, Holly can yell well... Heh, heh
Chapter 4 – Wet Pillows.
Holly looked him in the eye. Root would have a heart attack (if he hadn't yet) if he found out what had gone on.
"I love you Holly."
"I wish I could, Artemis, I wish I could." She turned and left. Artemis screamed after her.
"Can I at least get your number?! Holly!" She turned around and faced him again.
"I'll talk to Julius. I'll come over again soon, if he lets me." 'More like if I'm alive.'
"Why wouldn't he?" Holly gave him no answer. She turned and walked down the stairs and out the door. Artemis sighed.
"If I ever see her again..."
Now it was Holly's turn to sigh. She had managed to get past Root unseen. Now she lay on her bed crying. She cried over Foaly only two days ago. Now she was crying over Artemis.
"Why the hell is this happening? Anybody have an answer?" She looked at her fridge as if it would. Surprise, surprise, it didn't. Almost as if someone had been listening to her, a voice filled her room.
"Short!" It was Root's, "get in here and tell me where you got the nerve to go into his house! Pronto!" Holly didn't trust her voice so she muttered something that Root took as a 'yessir.' She traveled down the newly built tunnel that skipped all the main roads. Even though the turf wars had died down, the main roads were still as bad, if not worse, than before. So, the city built a tunnel that was strictly for the LEPrecon only. It had gates everywhere, but the fence was eight feet tall. The officers were given codes that would open the gates. Because of this new tunnel, Holly reached Root's office in a quarter of the time it would've taken on the main road. The sight of her tear-stained face took Root by surprise. For a moment Holly could see concern in his eyes. But then it was gone.
"WELL!?" Holly ignored his attempt to anger her and make her lose her temper. He wanted her to say something about being in love with him, she knew. She might have been, but Root didn't need to know.
"I merely thought that it might be a good idea," Holly began calmly, "to see what the Mud-Ass was up to. As it turns out, he was doing the exact same thing he did the last time he found out about us. Using the Internet.
"But I thought that we had blocked all the sites that had to do with fairies on his computer!" Root screamed, nearly popping a vein in his temple.
"That would've been Foaly's job."
"FOALY!" Root screamed into the intercom get your pony ass down here!" Soon they could hear a faint 'clip-clop' coming down the hall. The door swung open and Foaly came in. Holly knew that he saw her, but he took 'no notice'.
"What Root?" He asked calmly as if he had been called like any normal person would call someone to his or her office, "Forget how to use your computer again?" He burst into fits of whinnies and Holly realized what he was doing, or trying to do, he was trying to impress her. To keep herself from laughing she bit her thumb, she didn't want to laugh, or Foaly would think his joke was actually funny, which it wasn't. Root cast a glance at Holly and from the twinkle in his eye she could tell he was doing the same.
"Foaly, I thought," His anger mounted, "when we mind wiped that mud- ass-"
"That he is, sir."
"Sir? Holly called him that. I don't think you noticed her. She is here you know."
"Yes I knew. I thought that, since you called me in here, I didn't need to say anything to her." He supplied, stammering.
"Well anyway, she was in his house today and found out that he was using the Internet and looking up things on fairies, which you were supposed to have blocked entirely from his computer."
"Well sir, I'm sorry. He must have found a way around it." Suddenly the first part of what Root had said hit him. He turned and yelled at Holly, "You were in his house?! Why the hell would you go and do that?!" Holly couldn't resist, she layered her voice with sugary sweetness.
"Well, maybe because I'm madly in love with him."
"I KNEW IT!!" Holly continued speaking in the same tone of voice.
"Or maybe," She dropped the sweetness and spoke in a tone of voice that said: 'You idiot, where did you get that idea?' "Maybe, I did it, because I thought that I'd check up on him! Seeing as how he could become a threat to both worlds if he did what he had done again. And guess what? It's a good thing I did! Because, if I hadn't, we wouldn't have found out that some ass, and that's all you are, an ass with a human torso on your shoulders, we wouldn't have found out that some ass didn't do his job well enough, and we could've had another catastrophe on our hands!" She paused for Foaly to say anything and also to get her breath back from yelling at him so much. When he didn't say anything she got madder. "WELL NOW! LET'S SEE WHAT WE JUST FIGURED OUT SHALL WE? I JUST SAVED US, OR AT LEAST PREPARED US FOR WHAT COULD BE ANOTHER CROSS-SPECIES ENCOUNTER AND WHAT DOES ANYONE SAY?! NOTHING! WELL, YOU'RE BOTH WELCOME!" She left and slammed the door behind her.
"Foaly, she is the most talented LEP officer I have. I think she knows what she's doing." Root said quietly but sternly. Foaly took a breath to say something but Root didn't allow it. "Now get out of my office and figure out a way to stop him."
Holly was lying on her bed crying again when there was a knock on her door.
"GO AWAY!" She screamed.
"Holly, I really want to talk to you." It was Root's voice, but full of concern.
"Oh, come in." Root came in quietly.
"Are you alright?" He asked, genuinely worried. "You've been crying."
"Yes I have." Holly said proudly. "I have been and I will not deny it."
"Good." Root smiled. "Over who or what?" Holly gave him no answer. She just looked in his direction, but not at him, off in space. A few minutes later she spoke quietly and apprehensively.
"Root, should I continue checking on Fowl?"
"Is that who is bothering you?" He smiled a very teasing smile. It only made Holly madder that he suspected the truth.
"WHAT? You think I'm in love with him too?"
"Yes."
Josco: Hee, hee. I thought I'd let Holly vent her anger. I won't be able to do that in the next chapter. The next chapter won't be up for a while, I have to write it and then I have to do some writing on my other fics that aren't very far along.
Liacos: -grabs a spatula- Yes you do.
Josco: Eep... R&R!
