Hold Me
Chapter 3
Artemis: Alright all you people out there, this is the 3rd chappie of the authoress' 2nd fic. By the way, I'm reading directly off a paper so that's why I sound horribly 'modern', as they call it, and not like my regular, dignified self. :sniff: She doesn't own me or anybody else, thankfully. Who knows what stuff she'd make Holly and I do. :shiver: which brings us to the point that this is an :blushes: Artemis Holly romance. Reny would like to thank all of her reviewers and tell them if they want replies to their reviews, they're on her user page. Please enjoy chapter 3: Bored
In the Ops Booth:
"CAPTAIN SHORT WHY THE HELL DID YOU BRING THE MUD BUY!" Root yelled at Holly.
"Commander-" Holly started to say when Foaly cut her off.
"Holly was just being nice, I mean the buy's an orphan now. Just look at this tape." Foaly clicked a button and started to play the footage from Holly's Iris-Cam.
As Holly and Artemis started talking in the video, Holly and Root turned red. Holly because she was blushing, Root because he was fuming. Artemis, by the way, was also turning red as he sat quietly in a corner f the Ops Booth. Finally, as Foaly clicked the tape player off, Root started yelling again.
"CAPTAIN SHORT WHY DID YOU DO THAT!"
Again, Foaly came to her rescue. "Commander, I was just a nice thing to do. After all, the boy's practically broken now. And besides, don't we sort of owe it to him after the Bwa' Kell incident? He helped us a lot you know."
"What are you, Holly and Artemis' godfather or something?" Root asked Foaly, clearly furious that the centaur was not taking his side.
"No, but it was a good plan, and again, it was a nice thing to do."
Root grumbled about it for a little while, then growled, "Fine. He can stay. Under 3 conditions. One, Holly, he's in your custody. Two, He doesn't cause any trouble. And three, he does something useful."
Artemis piped up. "I could work in the Ops Booth with Foaly," he suggested.
"Civilian?" Julius asked Foaly.
"Fine by me, besides, he's probably the only being alive that can understand me."
And so Artemis stayed in the Ops Booth running errands for Foaly, helping him on his newest invention, and so on and so on. Artemis considered it pretty boring. He went on like this for a week, until he got really really bored of it. Finally Foaly gave him some LEP helmets.
"Tinker with these," Foaly told him. "There's something wrong with them, and I want you to figure out what."
So there was about one week worth of fun. Hoo-ray. Maybe he shouldn't have consented to Holly's plan, he thought. But no, the alternative was worse. Artemis sighed. Being Foaly's errand boy was absolutely boring.
That is, until Holly remembered something and came up with a plan...
