Chapter Four
Holly woke up pouncing on Artemis who was squirming out of her reach.
"Time to get up," Holly said, grinning.
"You don't have to jump on me to wake me up," murmured Artemis.
"Then open those eyes of yours," said Holly.
Artemis did yawning.
Holly crawled off of Artemis sitting up on the edge of the bed.
"Still worried about last night?" asked Holly.
Artemis nodded also sitting up.
"When do we leave?" he asked.
"Later tonight," replied Holly.
Artemis took out his laptop typing on it.
Holly just sitting, pondering.
Day…gosh I don't know. I'll let you decide by the entries….I'm too lazy to look or care at the moment. Holly and I are relaxing at the moment for the first time. We're still stressed out about this and the fact that Raven has harmed Butler and Juliet…not to mention other people. Thank god that father and mother are in Jamaica for the summer. I don't have to deal with school either. Not that I'd actually ever have to deal with It anyway. Holly seems just as depressed. I mean she seems happy this morning…but in her eyes at the moment…it's a dark look, but depressed and pondering look. Not to mention she still looks tired in the eyes. No matter how much sleep she's gotten she's still tired. I'm going to have quite a long speech with Commander Root. Holly's getting vacation after this, a well deserved on. Well next stop Hong-Kong.
Holly glanced up.
"What are you typing?" she asked.
"Oh nothing…my daily rambling," replied Artemis.
"I see," muttered Holly.
Artemis closed the laptop.
"You know Victoria's not making breakfast," pointed out Holly.
"Right and?" asked Artemis.
Holly opened the window to the guestroom.
"Let's go out to eat…your treat?" asked Holly.
Artemis' eyes went wide.
"Victoria said to-"he began.
"Who said we could break the rules just a little bit?" said Holly, hopping out the window.
Artemis rolled his eyes and followed.
"Do you know even where a decent restaurant is?" asked Artemis.
Holly admittedly shook her head.
Artemis smirked.
They looked around for awhile.
"They should notice you're a fairy shouldn't they?" asked Artemis.
Holly shook her head.
"Remember Justin?" she asked.
Artemis nodded slowly.
He felt really stupid…he was asking more than answering. Ever since this adventure he had been doing that.
"Well spells work on fairies too, so to the mud-people I'm pure human, except for the people who know about the People, which is only you at the moment," said Holly.
Artemis gave himself a mental note to do more research on magic and spells while they were possibly on this adventure or when he got back to the Fowl Manor.
Eventually Holly and Artemis found somewhere to eat and were climbing back through the window of Victoria's house.
Victoria was sitting on guest bed, looking slightly mad.
"Where have you two been?" she asked quietly.
"Um....we…went out to eat," replied Holly slowly.
"I told you NOT to wander," pointed out Victoria.
"And like you were gonna feed us anything," snapped Holly.
Artemis stood there watching the two girls argue and until Holly pointed that out, Victoria looked like one of those Japanese Animation characters…but the name of anime…the only thing missing was the sweat drop…eyes as tiny…like, "Oh….silly me…I knew that…okay maybe I didn't."
"You….have a point," said Victoria.
"Check mate," muttered Artemis.
"But you should've taken me along!" snapped up Victoria trying to redeem herself.
Holly shook her head.
"As if…you'd make Artemis buy everything on the menu selfish," snapped Holly.
"Alright ladies enough," said Artemis, chuckling.
This was too amusing.
"So when are you and Artemis leaving for Hong-Kong?" asked Victoria.
"Tonight…around six…," said Holly.
"Maybe you'll meet Kay-Lin…but last I heard from her she was Vietnam," said Victoria.
Holly nodded.
"Yea…defiantly a rurouni," said Holly.
"Too many Japanese terms," sighed Victoria.
"It's good to know a couple languages. Japanese is one of my better languages. I can translate Japanese into English quite quickly just as well. And for your information rurouni means wanderer," said Holly.
"Gah…reminds me of Juliet and her Rurouni Kenshin obsession," muttered Artemis.
"She watches anime? Heh, her and I are gonna get along just fine. Streetfighter was alright but King of Fighters and Dark Stalkers are bloodier…not to mention Samurai Shodown," said Holly.
"Okay enough from you and your cartoon world," said Victoria.
Holly rolled her hazel eyes pouting.
Artemis shook his head laughing.
"I didn't know Holly has such obsessions," he said.
"Well don't judge people before you get to know them. Blame Kay-Lin, Ryoma, and Keiko, they got me into the stuff," said Holly.
Artemis and Holly raced down the halls of the airport.
"Thanks again Victoria," said Holly quickly.
"Don't mention it!" Victoria called after them.
Holly waved dragging Artemis down the halls with her.
Victoria smiled.
"See you again my friend," she whispered walking off.
Holly sighed as she got on the plane.
"So…after this is over Fowl….what are you going to do?" asked Artemis.
Artemis shrugged.
"I really don't know Holly, check on Butler and make sure he's okay. I'll have to back to school in the fall…I dread that….not to mention the school dances…ugh….girls all flirt and stuff. Quite annoying in my opinion," said Artemis.
Holly laughed.
"You'll never be interested in females will you?" she asked.
"No, I don't really think so. I definitely know that I wouldn't be their…so called, 'type' of guy," said Artemis.
"Shame," said Holly.
"What do you mean shame Short?" asked Artemis.
"Well that's a first in a long time you've called me by my last name. What I mean is that it's shame…because so many human girls are interested in you I bet…and you are definitely one of those good looking ones….and I guess you just push them away," replied Holly, blushing.
Artemis was just as red in the face.
"Hearing that from you…..is sort of stunning," he said.
"I'm trying to be nice, don't get me in a bad mood Fowl," warned Holly.
"Don't worry I won't. Not to mention you're……well….cute yourself," said Artemis.
Holly laughed and shook her head blushing furiously.
"I have no idea WHAT you classify as cute Fowl….but I really don't think I am," she said.
"Hey you are, I'm being completely honest. To not be human you're pretty in that dangerous sort of way," said Artemis starting to laugh as well.
Holly rolled her eyes and slapped Artemis' shoulder lightly.
"You're crazy Fowl….truly insane," Holly said.
Artemis nodded.
"I know I am…and that's what's making me know about you and the fairies…not to mention even being with you. I….I haven't laughed in so long," he said.
Holly grinned.
"Then you need to stop being so serious. All I know is this adventure…is a crazy one," she said.
Artemis nodded.
They both sat on the plane…awaiting craziness in Hong-Kong.
(A/N: Heh….what do you think. I'm up at 10:55 PM doing this in my room in the dark too and in my honest opinion it's turning out brilliant. I'm seriously thinking about turning this into a lemon…what do you think?? Well look for chapter 5….)
Holly woke up pouncing on Artemis who was squirming out of her reach.

"You don't have to jump on me to wake me up," murmured Artemis.
