A/N: Plot bunny…that's all I have to say. I had to start it, and you folks out there that want me to continue my other fics, maybe this will chill you out, its not a one shot mwuahahahahaha. It's planned at around 8 chapters. Here's the first!
Disclaimer: Well…I did the crime and the time, no I don't own Colfer's Artemis Fowl.
New Haven, LEP HQ
"After detailed investigation, inspection, and revision of your case Miss Short, we, the council have come to the conclusion that in your present condition, though out of your control, you are a danger to the hidden existence of the People. And that furthermore, because of this, we have no choice, but to relocate you to a position above ground. You of course understand that this is for the good of the People."
The words of the councilman echoed through the conference room, building up force and finally slamming into Captain Short's chest hard enough to knock the wind from her lungs. She stuttered inaudible words of disbelief and protest, gawking with wide eyes, her fingers twitching. A gentle hand on her shoulder caused her head to snap away from the council and toward Commander Root. His face was oddly pale, and his eyes sad. He squeezed her shoulder softly in his best attempt at comforting and took her hand, helping her up and out of the office. Holly's legs seemed to move out of instinct because her mind wasn't processing anything that was happening around her.
She'd been decommissioned. Kicked out. Fired. And to top it all off, she now had to live with the mud men. This was all Fowl's fault. 'If it weren't for him and his stupid Arctic dealy thing I wouldn't be in this pickle.'
The radiation of the Arctic, combined with Holly's healing had caused a sudden and unexpected growth spurt to turn her 3 foot, normal elfin height, to that of a 5 foot….well…freak. Too short really to be a normal human, but much too tall for an elf. She didn't belong now…she didn't belong. And because of this freakishness there was one less recon jock. And one more abnormal mud maid…
'D'Arvit.'
A/N: I hope you liked the first chapter…yea I know I didn't start Searching like I said I would but…I just couldn't ignore this one. I'm going on vacation tomorrow, so no new chapter for like a week, but when I get back I should have like two chapters done and maybe a start of Searching…maybe.
