Part of my 4 day Vampire updating marathon, I'm updating this fic mwhaha. Vampire marathon (yesh, we all sort of um, didn't know) is a celebration of a dear friends birthday! Happy birthday VampireGenieWitch!!
Thank you's:
Slime frog: Moths??? My cat hasn't tried that one yet…Yes, kitties will be kitties, I got three new kittens! Get their sooo original name (yes, picked by me) Bob, Betty and Stan.
Black Pantha: Yes, I think I mentioned that fic wayyy up at the beginning, great fic, I love it, and want it updated as much as you do –sigh- It probably won't happen for a while.
Holly Rox: Don't worry, you wont have to worry about any more cliffies :)
Suga craZy: Lol, nice laughing. Stuffed monkeys, I have one of those… wait, arg, why do I make everything sound so wrong?
Cookie monster: I know you hate them :), that's why I make 'em mwhaha, as I've said, you won't have to worry about them any longer…
PeanutbutterIIAn hour, record time –high fives- Then, re-reading it, two hours? Awesome :P
TechnogirlNo more suspense now, or will there be? Always climatic events, to a point. Just maybe I'll torture you guys some more…
Little Miss Psycho: Cliffies Fun ways to torture readers, making them read more (my version) Dude IM A TREE TOO, with all these little kids hugging me everyday, I always feel so loved.
NeutralgalAwww, gee thanks –blushes-
Earthpixie: Who's ever heard of a fic that ISN'T weird –winks- evil cannabilistic woodpeckers? I'm lost…
Well all, it seems as though the worlds crashing down upon us
Readers: Erm, it does?
Well… no, but it sounded like a wise thing to say, I guess not… On with the fic anyway…
Chapter 15, Re-settling
Life was back to normal, if you could ever call life in the earth's core normal. A few things still needed to be fixed. Root's state, the cause, everything. Questions will flow, I myself being unable to answer a few, will leave some to be mysteries, perhaps never to be solved. You may think Commander Julius Root may now be sitting, rotting away in Howlers Peak, guilty on all causes. It turns out, he isn't, and it's all in the science.
No, it wasn't the cigars that did it, the smoke, or even the yelling, well, in a way.
"Hey ponyboy, I've got a request."
It were those words that had gotten him into it. The cigar dispenser, foolproof, but not Root-proof. A form of drug, some scent, he may have even eaten it, had caused him all the misery. Tests done in Warlock Medicals labs, proved positive to a form of drug, found in his system. He had taken in this drug so many times by inhaling his cigar smoke, it had affected him for quite a while. The one question remaining, was how the drug got into him. Another test was taken, this time by Foaly, the remains of chipped nail polish and fingerprint proved positive to none other than Lily Frond.
Weeks after Root was released, now on strict health care to keep his blood pressure at a certain rate, Lily was fired (A/N:Yay!). Nobody shedded any tears over her, she was, as trademark says "just some bimbo". The only one slightly disappointed was Chix Verbil. The needle Trouble and Grub had shot into him was merely a tranquilizer, and he had recovered quickly. He had been heard in a different room swapping phone numbers with Lily before she left.
Holly straightened the papers on her desk, took another sip of her morning coffee (A/N: I think they drink coffee down there…) and sat down on her swivel chair. She could never forget how Root had kissed her, the day it all started. Luckily, Root had no memory of what had happened, the same couldn't be said for her. She hadn't forgotten, and never would.
Trouble and Grub had saved her, and were both awarded for their sacrifice to society, their sacrifice, as Holly had told them, being their sanity. Grub, along with the Butler one, would now have two stories to tell, changing the plot each time. Trouble was still Trouble, and still the LEP's best officer.
She sighed as she stared at the paperwork ahead of her. Work was still the same, heaps of it. It was discouraging, knowing even if you worked all day, there'd be another pile waiting. She was still the LEP's first and only recon officer, and it would probably stay that way for years. Feeling the wind against your back was the freedom you got out of doing it.
Trouble knocked on the wooden walls of her cubical, interrupting her train of thought. She looked up, smiling for the first time that day.
"Why hello Trouble,"she said. "I would let you take a seat, but they're rather occupied." She pointed at two chairs stacked with sheets of paper.
"That's ok, I wasn't planning to stay long. Just came to tell you that Root wants you in his office, it's about flying regulations…"
Holly groaned, no matter what they've gone through, it was the same old Root. Threatening to have her badge, she knew that he knew he would never take it away, he did have a decent part to him. He couldn't yell at her anyway, his new health plan took care of that.
"You didn't look like you were working when I walked it," Trouble said, studying her face.
"I was just recalling what has happened, it's all such a blur, and now it all seems normal."
Trouble smiled. "You can call this line of work normal?"
Holly was about to comment, when a loud "Whoop!" interrupted her. She smiled, knowing what it was about.
"Carrots!" they heard Foaly say happily as he pranced about somewhere nearby. Holly laughed, whilst Trouble looked confused.
"What's with Foaly?"
I'm so happy, and sad, at the same time, it's been wonderful writing this fic, I remember it as my first ever, maybe I'll do a sequel, maybe not, keep watching, I just might ;) Depends on how many people said I should… And now here are the thank you's to all of my reviewers I've ever had, good luck finding your name.
