Ch 3: mind problems with Foaly

Holly was walking down the crowded streets of Haven. She was too busy trying to occupy her mind with her steady tapping caused by her shoes to notice all the people staring at her. It might have been caused by her sad look, it might have been caused by her carelessness, but more than likely it was caused by her smell.

She was in so much of a hurry to get off the pod that she forgot all about washing off the smell of human on her. Of course who could blame her? After a few months living above ground you forgot all about the quick flames in the hotshots.

When she finally reached her destination she strangely found herself walking past her house instead of in it. Instead she headed down to see Foaly. Maybe she would feel better if she just had somebody to talk to.

"Holly?"

She didn't have to far to go. She turned around just n time to see Foaly standing at a café a few feet away from her chewing on a carrot. "Foaly, what are you doing here? I was just going to come see you."

"Oh...I was just on my lunch break. I still have 10 minutes though. Why don't you come over here and join me. You look like you could use a cup of coffee."

Holly walked over and slid into the seat across from him. "I don't feel much like having anything right now."

"Oh? What is it? Is living up with the mudpeople finally getting to you?"

"No. I'm not living up with the mudpeople right now."

"Why?" He asked shoving the last of his carrot in his mouth, "what's going on at the number one celebrity's house now?"

"It wasn't him...it was me."

"You?" Foaly questioned clearly shocked, "You mean the only girl in the entire LEP, the only girl to survive the mudpeople, the only girl to-"

"Cut it out Foaly! I'm being serious."

"So was I...ok, ok." He replied seeing the look n her eyes as she glared daggers at him. "So what did you do?"

"Well me and Artemis got in a little fight."

"Over..."

"Promise me that you wont tell Root?"

"Yeah, yeah sure. Just tell me what happened."

"Well I was cheating on him...Artemis came home early from a business trip and...andwalkedinonmeandmulch." Holly said mumbling in a rush on the last part.

"Okay...can you say that in normal gnomish for us normal people?"

"Hewalkedinonmeandmulch."

"Holly, come on now. I can't find a way to help you if I cant understand you. Just stop being scared and stop mumbling. Just shout it out."

"HE. WALKED. IN. ON. ME. IN. MULCH!"

Holly could tell by the look on Foaly's face that he was about to throw up. "Okay I take that back. If you were with mulch then I don't think there is any way of me helping you. You got some serious mental problems Holly. That is as bad as you running off with that mudboy!"

"HIS NAME IS ARTEMIS YOU DIM WITTED PONY!" Suddenly Holly could feel the stares of onlookers burning into her mind. "WHAT ARE YOU ALL STARING AT? YOU NEED GET ON WITH YOUR OWN LIVES!"

"Holly...Holly? HOLLY!" It's okay, I was joking. Just calm down. It's no use taking it out on me and the public."

"I'm sorry Foaly...I'm just so stressed over this. I really want Artemis back. I even gave up on Mulch. Everybody would be thinking the same thing about us anyways. They would say that it was a sick match and would never last more that a day or two."

"Yes, I understand what you are getting at but does Artemis? I mean...does he know where you stand?"

"I tried to tell him earlier this morning. But he wouldn't listen to me Foaly! He thinks I was cheating on him...because of him!"

"Well were you?"

"NO! I mean...maybe. Okay I'm not sure. It just felt like the right thing to do at the time. Maybe I just needed a chance to let myself know what I really am...who I really am."

"So maybe you just wanted a reason to be linked to the underground world?"

"Yeah, I guess that is what I'm getting at...but I'm jut not sure. I really want to be with Artemis."

"Well...I'm sorry Holly. But all I can say is good luck. We have had hard times in the past with Artemis. I'm not looking to start those times over again over your relationships with him. Your best bet is to either find away to make him listen or just learn to cope without him and get over yourself. Anyways I got to go. If I'm not in the ops booth in 5 minutes Root will have my paycheck."

"Okay. Thanks Foaly. I think I'll take your advice. I'll make him listen to me."

"Okay. Bye Holly." Foaly was right about to walk around the curve in the road when he turned around. "By the way, when I said make him listen, I meant it to be within reasonable measures. If you know what I mean."

"Yeah, I'll keep that in mind." And with that he disappeared out of view.
