A/N: Nothing to say, except sorry for the long wait. I was sick. I still am. And my brother ends up getting the computer more than me these days… and the TV times changed. Stupid Daylight Savings Time…
Radioactive Bubblegum: No more short chappies? Oh my God. When that happens, assume that Hell's frozen over. It's either short chappies, or none at all. Or even longer update waits. I kinda lose track of my thoughts after a few pages. Asides, if this fic's chappies are longer, it will take longer to update my other fic… I would love to write long chappies, but it's an issue of the amount of time I have on the computer. Well… It's fun writing Holly obsessing over Ash, way too much fun. Claustrophobia is an odd thing for the LEP's best pilot ^^ Tapping feet don't scare me.
TazMoon: I'm updating as soon as I can. You've seen, I think, how often I get on the computer lately. And I've gotta read, too!
EvilSpirit: Of course it's between Holly and Julius! Would it be between Holly and the wall ball? Or Julius and the deck of cards? Lol… Sorry, I couldn't resist ^^ Hyperness is fun.
Dragoness Fighter: I know! Holly and Julius are soo sweet together ^^ Or maybe reading too much Hermione/Snape has completely scarred my brain for good ^^
slime frog: Isn't cool the best word when you cant think of any other… Gawd, I should pay attention in English. Well, the grammar part… the word that describes something. You get what I mean, right? I love the idea of a claustrophobic Holly as well. It's terribly funny, but not really. It's sorta cute in an odd, odd way. Ah, well, I'm odd ^^ BRING ME TO LIFE!!! WAKE ME UP INSIDE!! I'm sure you know the rest…
Chibi-Chiri: I didn't see Holly being claustrophobic coming either. Wow. I finally spelt claustrophobic right on the first try! You know how things just… happen, when you write? That is what the claustrophobia thing was, to the extreme. I was just typing then I was like "Okay, Holly's gonna start yelling and Julius is gonna break down the door. And Holly is claustrophobic." So I wrote it down… It was… Odd. Yup, sparks are flying, two chapters into the story! *whacks head* At least nobody has told me to slow down… I have two speeds. Too slow and too fast. In my mind ^^ Wow, you think my fic is 'great as always'? Amazing. I feel… special… privileged… insert synonym here…
Radioactive D'arvit: It has gotten to the point where it is a miracle that I update, hasn't it? I'm so terrible… Can I have my chocolate now???
Phire Phoenix Chan: I know, isn't the Fairy excuse the bestest??? I love it and over use it ^^ I'm usually a H/A too, but I didn't feel like writing one, and I don't got a plot bunny for one either…
Kelsey: Hi! Holly's claustrophobic in a steel carrot. What fun for her ^^ I though TAI was going to be a H/R too. There is sooo many places ^^ Actually, TAI was part of the reason I wrote this. I really hope Colfer puts in a Holly/someone romance, too. Really, no romance, even a tiny, tiny bit, is the thing I'm most peeved about in the AF books… I'm a romance reading type person… That and most of the books/fics I read have romance, and half the time I didn't even realise it… I'm updating!! About as fast as I update my other fic…
Jenny: Yeah! I'm writing, writing!
Tonduil the Elf: Whoa. You reviewed an hour before I updated. I would have updated this soon, by a few hours, but I had to leave the house… Creepy… Not really, but still… Did you have fun reading my pitiful fics?? *laughs* When I opened my inbox and it said, four reviews, I was like, "Whoa! The Radioactive peoples are yelling at me again" But it turned out to be you and another person for one of my HP fics ^^ Thanks for reviewing ^^
Disclaimer: I don't own…
A/N: wow. I wasted a page nattering replies to reviews. If I missed you, I'm terribly sorry, and I'll get you next time. Though, how I could miss someone is beyond me… I only get a few reviews ^^ I'm wasting more space, so on with the fic!

Inside Foaly's Carrot

I realise I said I would never write here again. But, in truth, there is nothing else for me to do when Holly is using the machine. Since she doesn't like 52 Pick-Up, there is nothing else to do... So I'm stuck doing this...
I really hate that centaur.
Poor Holly. I really do feel sorry for her. The Council is on her back for anything, and now she reveals that she's claustrophobic. The Council doesn't need to know about that. The Council is too busy to worry about the slight problem with Captain Short...
Mmmm... Holly's not bad of a cook. Protein Bars cooked on the heater... What a delicacy... Why in Frond's name didn't Foaly put a microwave in here? There is an exercise machine, what's the use of that? Talk about a weird idea of necessities... While I'm at it, why isn't there a Disk Player here? Useless centaur.
Holly's shuffling the cards... I suppose I could use that machine, but that's beginning to get boring. Oh, who am I kidding, I hated it from the beginning.
Is it just me, or is it really hot in here? Maybe if I had a drink of water...
Nope, still hot.
Holly: Er, Commander... Does it seem really hot in here to you?
Me: *to self* Well, I'm not going insane...
Holly: What?
Me: I was thinking it was hot in here too.
Holly: I'll turn the heat down...
Well, that's that. In a few minutes I won't be sweating through my jumpsuit.
~
Er, the heat is getting hotter.
Me: Um, Holly?
Holly: I turned it down, I swear!
She did. The heater is turned off, for Frond's sake! Now the heater is busted.
Holly: *muttering* Frond, we're screwed.
Me: I hope this isn't Foaly's idea of a sick joke.
Holly: Oh, Frond! He would! He's probably sitting in the OP's Booth laughing at us!
Me: He probably has this playing on all the screens in Police Plaza.
Holly: *pales* Frond, I'm screwed.
Me: You'll be fine, Holly. I've got a voice in the Council. They won't kick you out, if I have anything to say about it.
Holly: *small smile* Thanks...
She's smiling at me, she's smiling at me, she's smiling at me! D'Arvit, D'Arvit, D'Arvit. No, stop.
Me: It's no problem.
Nope, none at all... Anything for Holly. Oh, Frond...
Holly: Sooo... Do you want to play a card game or something?
Me: Sure... Uh...
Holly: You've got to be kidding me! You don't know any card games! *laughs*
She's laughing at me... Nooooo...
Me: Uh, yeah... I know how to play Go Fish...
Holly: *laughs* I'll teach you a few.
She's still laughing. Frond, this is humiliating...
Me: Uh, sure...
Holly: Well, 21 Blackjack...
~
Wow. Now I know how to play 21 Blackjack. Holly whipped my ass, though. Stupid dealer.
Holly: *hands on table leaning forward, close to me* Now you owe me a pound of gold. *sly smirk*
Oh Frond, Frond, Frond! She's too close!
Me: I'll pay you later. I have no gold on me.
Holly: Whatever. *leans back*
Good... Damnit, that girl's gonna be the one who ends up giving me a heart attack...
Holly: Damn heater.
Me: Yeah.
Holly: Er, be right back...
Me: Wha? Oh, oh, oooh.
Holly: *rolls eyes and smiles*
May as well use that bloody machine.
Holly: ROOOOOT!
Me: Uh, that's me...
I sound so pathetic.
Holly: What did you do to the door?
Me: What?
Holly: Frond, it's nearly off its hinges, the locks busted... Root, the door pulls open, not pushes.
Me: What are you talking about?
Holly: When you knocked down the door. You completely destroyed it.
Me: Oops?
Holly: *whimpers* Frond.
Me: Would you have rather me left you there?
Holly: Frond, no!
Me: I panicked, okay?
Holly: You panicked over me?
Me: Uh, yeah.
Holly: *standing in doorway, confused* Why?
Curse that word!
Me: Well, uh... Um... heh heh...
Holly: *throws up arms* Whatever!
Well, at least she stopped asking me why...
She's fixing the door now.
There is nothing to do. I'll watch Holly.
Holly: WHAT ARE YOU STARING AT?
Me: Nothing, nothing.
Wow, she isn't in a good mood. She fixed the door. The toilet flushed.
Holly: WHAT. ARE. YOU. STARING AT????
Me: Spaz.
Holly: arrr...
Uh, she left some of her jumpsuit undone.
Holly: STOP STARING AT ME! YOU'RE CREEPING ME OUT!
Me: Sorry, sorry.
Holly: I'm going to sleep.
Me: You do that.
Holly: *stalks to a corner of the ship* *lies down and sleeps*
There is nothing to do. I think I will join Holly in sleep. Opposite corner...
~
Brrr... It's freezing now. Holly's shivering... Maybe if I just sleep closer to her, she won't be so cold. Body heat and all that. She's warm...
*~*~*~*~*
A/N: Wow, I think this is my longest chapter for this story... Pitiful. Well, Day One of the evilness is over... In case you are wondering why I chose 21 Blackjack, it's the only card game I know... Except for Solitaire and ones that need special decks... Toodlez, I'm being kicked off the comp and it's bloody freezing downstairs... Well, now that it's a few hours later, I remembered that I have something else to say… Next chapter is a special, ish, one… TazMoon knows what I'm talking about, I hope ^^
