A/N: I had to do a seven-page report before Monday, so I'm really strung
out. I feel a lot better writing this. I would like to thank ELIZA STAR
for her wonderful idea to have Holly and the fairies owe Artemis a favor
for saving them. I am so sorry I haven't updated before now, I was up till
ten doing my report on Sunday, and the power went out this morning. It
only went back on recently.
Angelgirl10: Santa's real!? Oh yeah! I want him to be real, oh he's real, he's real, he's real. (Accompanied by frantic jumping up and down) How do I jump around, I seriously haven't noticed. I spell check! And I'm not as bad as my sister is. As for the grammar, it's Cerinthia describing what happened, so I want to sound the way she'd talk. Know what I mean? Or does it go into how Artemis talks and so on? I don't know if I'll have you spell check cause I'm getting some pretty nasty reviews when I don't update quickly. But I'm not erasing your address. I'm going to do a serious story after this, one I'm not just doing for enjoyment. I'm definitely going to have you check that before I update. So hang in their, cause you are going to get some stories. Just not the, for-fun ones.
Eliza Star: Your idea was wonderful, just to good to pass up. That wasn't a complement, just a fact. I'm glad you like their relationship, is it to smooshy (as my "sex is icky" sister would say) or is it turning out brother sister. Any plot ideas are welcome. I need them, and your ideas are good. I'd love to keep in touch with you. Maybe when I'm older and less paranoid we can meet each other? I repeat, I AM NOT A STALKER! And I mean older as in seventeen or something. My mom's brother almost had bad experience with an Internet creep a zode, so she and I are kinda paranoid. Nothing against you, unless you're a forty year old man. (HA ha, seriously joking. I just burst into giggles writing this. I just thought you should know what's up.) You got any sensitive artzy cowboys? That's kinda contradictory isn't it? (Fill your hands you son of a bitch.) Sorry, my dad likes john Wayne. He was a stud muffin when young, John Wayne. We wouldn't get along well, John Wayne again. I have a habit of flaring up when looked down on; I'm not to big on the protective type. On second thought, why do I want a cowboy? I'm so confused. And I'm babbling also. Ahhhh!!! I want tall dark and handsome now, and a cowboy. I'm hopeless. Anyway.
Orchid the Jupiter Adept: I forgive you for your later review. I'm on th einternet so this has to be short. Yeah Artemis is kinda a neat freak, you don't mind the berserker bit, yes! Any ideas of what I should do next? ************************************************************************
After I had calmed down enough to stop shaking I began to build a base for my snowman. I slowly burned off my anger in the building. And I had soon forgiven Artemis. I am slow to anger and quick to forgive. After I built two snowmen, I realized that I didn't have the stuff need to decorate it, and I didn't even know if Artemis had a sled. I walked over to the front door and peaked my head in. I never go into a house in my snow gear, unless it's to take them off. "Artemis! I'm not mad any more. I'm not going into the house cause I'm wet, so could you get over here!" I yelled, not angrily, just loudly.
He walked over from the lounge, giving me a patient look. One of those I- am-so-much-smarter-and-better-than-you-why-do-I-put-up-with-you looks. "What do you want?" he asked coldly. Like when I had first met him. But I deserved it so I didn't mention it. "I need to have materials for two snowmen and a toboggan. Do you even have a toboggan?" I asked hopefully.
He gave me a long superior yet amused look before answering, "Yes, it's in the gardeners shed."
"Where's that." I asked, I was relieved.
"I'll show you." He said with a resigned sigh.
"Thanks." I said in a surprised tone. I waited while he put on some boots and a winter jacket. And I followed as he led me down the path to the shed. When I peaked at the toboggan, I was overjoyed. It was perfect, just the right size for my snowman.
"There are carrots and birdseed, even some old hats and gloves." He told me, his teeth chattering. He didn't have a very good coat.
I immediately grabbed two scarves, gloves, and hats, and enough face material for three snowmen. I loaded them all on the toboggan and pulled it to the front yard. (That's where I put my snowmen.) Artemis followed in the trails my snowmen had made. I lay a snowman on the ground, after decorating him. Then ran the toboggan over him, easily cutting him in half. Then I stopped the toboggan a foot away from the dead snow man, and I put the other snowman on the toboggan and had him waving his hands in the air. It was a cute little set up. Some thing you'd find in the snowman's house of horrors. "That's morbid." Artemis told me, trying hard not laugh.
"Yeah, but it's pretty darn cool, you gotta admit." I replied with a grin. He gave me a nod and headed back to the house. "What did I do now!?" I asked, exasperated. He didn't answer, so I did the obvious thing, I threw a snowball at his back. That made him turn around quickly enough.
"You will die you insolent girl." He said in a horror movie villain voice. I would have run if he hadn't smiled at me. Then he scooped up a snowball and threw it at my heart.
"No! I wasn't that bad Artemis! I'm sorry I'll behave." I pleaded while dodging his snowballs.
"It's to late now, I gave you your chance." He said, this time hitting me on the forehead.
I screamed a blood-curdling scream and continued to plea for forgiveness. My words slowly fading as I "died".
Artemis stood over me and started to chuckle darkly. All of a sudden Holly and Co. burst around the corner of the house and ran at us full speed. "Artemis if that girl is dead." Holly trailed of, lowering her gun as she saw me in silent fits of giggles on the ground and covered snow.
Artemis smirked at them, and Foaly started laughing so hard. "Foaly, how come you're here. Won't someone see you?" I asked instantly serious.
"No, my new invention only lets specific people see me, the same with Holly and co." He replied.
"You eavesdropper!" I threw at him. He just chuckled and helped me to my feet. "Did you really think he'd kill me?" I asked, honestly surprised.
"You forget his past." Root said to me, turning red. I was frantically hoping his change in color was from the cold.
"We better go inside, the ball will start soon." Artemis said matter of factly.
We all trudged back into the house, my fingers and nose burning and itching as they came in contact with the heat. "So the entire world knows you exist?" I asked, not believing what I was saying.
"No, but Artemis has apparently made a new invention that will change out shape so that people will think we're human." Replied Holly. Her doubt plain in her voice.
"Oooo. Ahhhh." I said with a grin.
"I'm actually quite interested to see how he did it." Foaly replied. I just gave him a smile. "You don't seem very surprised at this new discovery." He stated.
"It's Artemis," I said as if that said every thing. "He can do anything and everything." Holly started laughing so hard that she couldn't breath. "You didn't read his stories." I replied in an offended tone. "If you had you'd be quaking in fear right now."
"Then why aren't you?" asked Holly. I could tell she didn't like this conversation.
"I used to, not anymore. I'm almost ready to proclaim him a goober." I said in a serious voice. Holly looked at me and decided to let that pass. I couldn't help but grin.
"As I have said, it's about time for the ball." Artemis told us firmly.
'Then it's time for me to go hide in my room.' I thought resignedly. "I'll go change." I said with a sigh.
"What's up with her," I heard Foaly ask.
"She's been preoccupied." Artemis said, I didn't hear the rest of his explanation for I was almost in my room.
I went in and quickly changed into the green dress. It fit perfectly. I went and looked at the jewelry, first I put on the belt. It was a series of, I hope fake gold loops all linked together. It looked very gipsyish when I put it on. Then I added the necklace, it fit nicely, and it went well with the modest scoop neck. I slipped on the shoes, and left my hair alone. I was never good at putting it up. When I went in front of the mirror I saw a tall girl who held herself with grace. Her hair flowed down her back looking a deep gold in the light. Her dress accented her body, and made me look skinny. My belt settled around the hips and looked kind of like the dangle gold strip the swan princes wears. The necklace was a simple, yet sturdy, a gold chain with a green glass drop that looked like a tear dangling from it. All in all I looked beautiful. I love looking in the mirror, on my good days that is. I definitely have bad days where I look scary, even my friends agree with me.
I walked down the stairs to see how The Fairies were doing. A human sized Holly and Root, and a human Foaly greeted me. Holly was wearing a deep red evening dress; Root and Foaly were wearing a suit, probably borrowed from Artemis. And Artemis was wearing his usual black suit. (Sigh) "Oh my gosh!" I exclaimed, sounding a lot like a ditz. "I can't believe it." I said while circling around each of them in turn.
Artemis gave me a smile and shook his head, while Holly was starring fixedly at my hair. "You can't wear your hair like that!" She exclaimed; grabbing me by the hand and making me kneel. She quickly grabbed a hairbrush and other such things from her purse. I felt her tugging at my hair, and it was all I could do to keep from swatting her. Finally she stopped and gave me a long look.
"So?" I asked, she handed me a mirror. My hair was down and up at the same time. I had the hair at my temples braided and pulled back behind my head where they where braided into one braid. The two braids had green and gold ribbons in them, and I had little green and gold strands in my hair. It looked quite good, if a little unusual. After I stood up, I realized that some of the string had little belles tied to the tips. "That is gorgeous!" I told her honestly. I couldn't resist shaking my head a bit to hear the jingle.
Artemis was giving me a big brother smile; he seemed to be doing that a lot lately. It's a good thing I had a friend with four big brothers (one of which is QUITE cute) or I wouldn't know how to react. As it is, I just raised an eyebrow and looked at the door when I heard a knock. "Wow Holly, just in time." I said with a laugh. I went with The Fairies to the ballroom, jingling all the way.
