A/N: *yawn* I'm tired... I just watched X2 for the second time. Without realising it. I swear, I've never seen the movie, but I knew pretty much exactly what they were gonna say! Or do... Either I watched the movie a looooooooong time ago, or I had a really creepy dream. Like the dream I had last night about failing my Bronze Cross class... *shudders* The test is tomorrow. Or today, depending on when I update this. Damn. I spend a page on review answers…
Radioactive Bubblegum: I've probably already e-mailed you. Why am I even doing this?
Kelsey: You're little, er, problem with my chapter is that I did post it, but FF.Net screwed up and wouldn't show you the chapter. In the URL code thing, try switching the current chapter number to the number you want it to be. Works for me. Sometimes. I'm afraid reading my mind is not going to help you with the updating. I don't know what's going to happen, and you'd have to slush through all my other stories, because, for some reason, this one is in the back of my mind. Cause it's easy to write. *laughs* And hacking into my computer is going to do you sooo much good. I don't pre-write. Everything is posted five minutes after I finish. Unless I get someone to beta it… *laughs*
alex: Er, I updated now… Is that soon?
EvilMint((#2)): Thank you… updating soon, eh? I can manage about once every eight days…? *nervous grin*
slime frog: Hee hee hee… Bouncing shoes! *laughs* You wanna hear about Holly and Root, eh? Er, just keep reading then ^^
Spasmodic dust bunny: Glad you like it ^^
Evil Mint: Wait a minute… There are two of you! Oh. That's the purpose of the ((#2)) in the other one's name… I see now! *laughs* Yes, Ash's just a pretty boy. But she gets contestant number two, Commander Julius Root! *falls down laughing* And, hey! Everyone has a fic that's better than theirs! I could name off a million Hermione/Severus fics that are better than this one… But I won't. I'll keep your mind semi-intact…
Mz. Shanaynay: You're secret obsession isn't so secret, you know? You just said it at least ten times… Wow, I've got another best friend! Tee hee hee! *hugs*
Phire Phoenix Chan: Or maybe not! I didn't remember what I said Holly's reaction was gonna be (partially because I only had the vaguest idea), so I winged it! Tee hee.
Chibi-Chiri: Yup, that's Foaly for you! And I have no idea what I'm gonna do to Lili… hmm… *evil grin* heh heh heh…
Disclaimer: I don't own Holly or Julius.

Taken from Capt. Holly Short's written journal
Bottom of Pacific Ocean
Inside Foaly's Carrot
FloorOh my dear fucking whatever higher power is in charge of my life. I just had the most horrible nightmare. I dreamed that Root and I were asleep. Together. He had his arms around me. There's something on my waist. AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! I don't think that was a dream...
Me: *screams very loudly*
Root: What? What's going on?
Me: What. Are. You. DOING?
Root: What?
That's it. He's sooo dead! I'm smacking that bitch one!
Me: *smacks Root* What the hell do you think you're doing?
Root: What did I do?
Me: I just had an Out Of Body experience. I do not like what I just saw.
Root: What did you see? And why did you slap me?
Me: Why were you holding me?
Root: Uh, it's cold?
Me: What hell are you talking about man? It's boiling!
Root: It was cold!
Me: And I'm going to believe that?
Root: Ho-
Me: Zip it.
Root: Holly, pl-
Me: Zip it.
Root: Capt-
Me: ZIP IT COMMANDER!
Ooooo! What gave him the right to do that? He spent half of last day staring at me, I go to sleep to escape it, and I wake up to find him cuddling up to me! This is... is... ARRRGGHH! No words in any language can describe this! What did I do to deserve this? Why is he doing this to me? What can I do to escape? Happy place, happy place...
...Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasssssshhh...
Yummy.
Deep breaths, Holly, breathe deep.
Wall ball... Maybe I could 'accidentally' throw it at the Commander and knock him out. No, wait... The last time I tried that, it didn't work. His skull is waaaay to thick.
Oh well. Wall balls are still amusing. Throw, bounce, bounce, catch...
~
Hmmm... What's this? A peace offering? Root's made breakfast. Should I take it?
I don't have much of a choice. Can't waste any food. I have no idea how long we'll be down here for. Down here. The bottom of the Pacific Ocean. With Commander Julius Root acting odd.
I'd rather be in the Ops Booth listening to Foaly rant about something....
...Then maybe Ash would walk in...
Yummy.
Ash, not the food.
Actually, the food isn't that bad. For a melted protein bar. Bloody temperature shift is melting all the food.
I think it's getting hotter.
Damn jump-suit. Aren't you supposed to keep me from getting hot? Oh well, I'll deal with this the old fashioned way. Unzipping the zipper a bit.
Root's staring at me again.
All I'm doing is unzipping my suit a bit. It's not like I'm taking it off. That's what Lili Frond is for.
Besides, I've got a bra on. I didn't unzip it that low, did I?
He's making me nervous.
Is he... Sweating? More than what he should be for this heat?
He is.
Now he's licking his lips.
Me: Er, Commander? Are you all right?
Root: Yes, yes. I'm fine.
Me: Are you sure?
Root: *authoritative, 'I'm higher ranked than you' voice* I'm fine Captain.
I don't believe him. The last thing I need is him to get a heart attack from this heat. He's lasted this long, though.
I need to make a paper fan. Damn. I ran out. Unng. Don't wanna move. Must reach papers... Damn table... Too wide.
Root: *nervously, not meeting my eyes* Do you want this, Captain?
Me: It's Holly, and yes, I want those papers. Well, one.
Root: *hands a few to me*
Me: Thanks. *smile*
Damnit. Now he's back into his nervousness. It's not like I'm going to kill him. I think he got the picture that I want no more surprises when I wake up.
I really can't stay mad at anyone long. Except for that Mud-Boy.
Who am I kidding? I'm not really mad at him anymore... I guess I miss him. In an odd sort of sense. Life's exciting when he's around.
Actually, he doesn't have to be around for life to be exciting anymore. Look at all of this!
Hmm... I've made my fan! Mmmm... Semi-cool air...
I'm so glad I have short hair. My head would be so hot if I did. Ugg. My hair's soaked in sweat. Disgusting. I'm so not running my hands through my hair again.
He's looking at me again. I would hide in the bathroom, but it's bad enough out here. Damn claustrophobia.
Still staring.
Me: Er, do you want one, Commander?
Root: Ju- er, sure.
What was he going to say before he cut himself off? I wonder...
Me: Okay.
~
Now we both have fans. It's too hot to do anything but sit here and fan ourselves. It's like a bloody sauna in here.
I wish there's a shower.
Root: I need a shower.
Me: *laughs* I was thinking the same thing.
Root: It's so evil. There is all this water just right out there. *gestures to the windows* And we can't reach it.
Me: Not unless we want to drown.
Root: Stupid heater. *kicks it*
I think the heater just stopped running.
We look at each other. We look at the heater. We look back at each other.
~
Still looking at each other.
It's getting colder.
Isn't the heater going to cut in?
Me: Uh, Commander… I think it's busted more…
Root: *sarcastically* Acute observation, Holly.
Me: Uh, thanks?
Great. Now it even worse in this hellhole…
*~*~*~*~*
A/N: Well, me finished this. For this week… Sleep. I need sleep. Damn 8:45 AM…
