I am soory dear people that this is too mushy, lovey dovey, and so on. but you know what? it is the first romance novel so HA!It is not really that bad. There is no kissing or anything for those of you that cant stand it but it is romance so i am keeping it the way it is. HA!

also Davirt or however u spell it is wrong...i think.

Artemis and Holly stopped. "Commander. I'll explain…"

"You better!" shouted the captain.

Right then Mulch brought everyone up. "Ok. Here they are…" he said. Mulch looked at the steaming commander. "D'Arvit." He swore. Julius and Grub cuffed him.

"OW!" said Grub. "I got a hangnail."

"Everyone on the shuttle! I need to have a talk with all of you!" Commanded Root. He stared at Holly and shook his head.

"Ok Holly, I want a nice clean talk." Root said. "Artemis, not a word until I ask." Artemis nodded his head. "Status?" He asked Foaly.

"Mud People are being mesmerized one by one, LEP are dealing with Mulch, and all rooms are recording."

"Good." Said Root. "Now Holly, whole story. No missing details.

Holly took a deep breath. "I, was looking out my window, bored when Mulch came in thru it and asked me to help him find Artemis. So, I devised a plan to get to a shuttle and we took off from there. Then we mesmerized Sarah at Artemis's school and led him to her house and from there we kidnapped all his family and friends. I threatened to kill him but he found me out and then we worked things out, and now I am here."

"You forgot the kissing." said Root.

"Yes." Holly said. "He kissed me."

"Yes." said Root. "Artemis. So I am going to ask nicely, did she leave out any details?" Artemis shook his head. "Al right. But you do understand that we have to mesmerize you after." Artemis nodded. "What makes you so bold to kiss and elf?"

"I…love her." Artemis said.

"Typical." Root said. "Holly, do you know how many crimes you've done? Let's start from the beginning. Breaking your order not to go above ground, bringing a criminal with you, breaking into unauthorized grounds, stealing LEP equipment, and went into Uninvited territory, unauthorized mesmerize activity, and making love with a human." He shook his head. "Do you know how many years in jail young lady?" Holly shook her head. "5 centuries. That's right."

"Commander if I may…" said Artemis. "It was partly my fault. I told Mulch that I would make him meet me one day. And I guess he just decided that this would be the day. And I was the one who kissed Holly, she did not kiss me. So it is also partly my responsibly too. And also, anyways, you did not have an invitation to this girl's house. You could be thrown in jail too."

The commander grew red. "You are so lucky Holly that I'm going to let you go this time."

"And also Commander," asked Artemis.

"What is it Mud Boy?!" Root hissed.

"Would you give Holly back her badge?"

"ARE YOU CRAZY?! I'm already letting her go on this case and you want me to reward her some more?!" Root yelled.

"Well, this way you can give Holly something to do and keep an eye on her also. It could keep her mind on something besides me." Artemis said.

"Artemis…" Holly said standing up. Artemis looked away.

"It's for your own good." He mumbled loud enough for Holly to hear.

"Well," Commander Root said. "If it would end this Soap Opera here, and the stop the crazy riot outside, then, what the heck. But Captain," Holly looked at him. "Promise me that this will never, ever, ever, happen again."

Holly sighed and looked at Artemis who did not look back. "Yes Sir."

"Go home. Get a good night sleep captain. See you tomorrow, 5 am."

"Yes sir." She said. And she headed out the door, looking back at the last of Artemis that she would ever see again. Tears rolled down from Artemis's eyes.

"Foaly! Give everybody a nice brainwash! No more fairies." Root shouted. "Artemis, I am going to trust you just this very last time. The only time because you said that to Holly. I will not brainwash you." Artemis nodded. Tears kept streaming in his eyes. "Foaly mesmerize him to see if he missed out on anything."

Foaly began to mesmerize. Artemis was not sure what he had asked him but for some reason he remembered him saying "You'll see her again. Don't worry." He winked.

For the first time in his lonely life, there was hope. Hope in seeing his love, hope that filled his heart with joy. Hope that would last forever and ever and ever. Hope that might at last lead, to a happy ending.

I might add a sequel to it…..I don't know… it depends on how many people like it.
