"Do you think she said the truth?" Butler asked awkwardly.
"OF course, she was under the Mesmer!" Holly reassured.
Butler nodded, "So, I guess we have to leave now?"
"Yes," Holly admitted, "we will give you the same injection we gave Levinia… but it will not erase your memories..."
"Won't erase our—" Juliet started, "Why? Don't you think we might tell someone?"
"Actually," Holly said thoughtfully.
Foaly elbowed Root and looked at hi pointedly.
"We don't…" Root said. Another elbow, "You helped us out a lot… so thank you…"
"Anytime," Artemis folded his hands and smirked.
"Don't press your luck!" Holly said, mimicking Levinia.
"Well…" Juliet elbowed Artemis, "we thank you in return, don't we, Arty?"
"Yes," Artemis looked down and rubbed his side, "um… thank you… and sorry… for everything I did… erm, wrong... I guess…"
"You guess?" Holly raised an eyebrow.
"Well I can't say 'I know' because it wouldn't make sense!" Artemis snapped back.
"So sweet, they're really showing affection for one another," Juliet rolled her eyes.
"Hey!" Artemis and Juliet shot back.
"Whatever…" Juliet turned to Root, "how much more time do we have till… the injection?"
"Approximately… 1,423 klicks," Foaly answered.
"Uhh…" Juliet was clueless.
"An hour and 43 minutes (A/N: I have no clue if that's correct, I'm guessing)," Artemis answered in a blink.
"Oh… well, time for our goodbyes then…" Juliet turned to Holly, "I'll miss you, Fairy Girl, but you still can't bat me at beauty contests…"
Juliet flicked her hair to one side and Holly laughed, "You should know…"
"Bye, Holly—Captain, till next time, hopefully," Artemis shook hands with Holly awkwardly.
Juliet slightly glared daggers at Holly as if to say, 'don't even think about it, he's mine!' Holly nodded and turned to say goodbye to Butler.
"You're a great bodyguard and friend, big man!" Holly replied truthfully.
"Thank you, Captain; I'm honored, cheers to you and your new husband…" Butler smiled.
"Thank you," Holly grinned.
Juliet and Artemis sad their goodbyes to Foaly and Root, then Artemis led Juliet to a corner.

"What is it Artemis… it's almost time!" Juliet glanced at the nearby Butler.
"I just wanted to say… thank you… again," he said nervously.
"Oh, Artemis, you shouldn't thank me!" Juliet looked at him, "After last night, well, let's just say… life between us has changed…"
"Yeah," Artemis took her hand, 'let's go…"
They went back to Holly, Root, Foaly, and Butler.
§§§§
"Time?" Juliet looked at Foaly.
"Time," he nodded.
"I'll go first," Butler sat in a chair as they brought out the injection.
"You'll feel a little pinch of pain, then everything will go black, you'll wake up in your bed tomorrow," Root said as a scientist neared Butler.
"Well, goodbye, fairy People, hopefully we will meet under better circumstances," he smiled and instantly collapsed as they injected the shot.
Juliet sighed and took a seat, "till next time, Holly…"
With that, she was out like a light. The People had injected the shot.
Artemis slowly took a seat, staring at the shot, "I'm not very used to injections, sirs…"
"Not to worry, Fowl, you'll be out like your friends," Root chuckled as the scientists injected the shot.
"Goodbye… my friends," then everything turned black.
