Chapter 5

Don't own AF or MIB (NEVER WILL)

It goes with out saying that the shuttle ride was less than a first class ride. First the loader workers decided not to even glance at the fragile signs on both the boxes. Being tossed around and jumbled about was not one of Holly's favorite activities.

After the throwing, kicking, and just all around unpleasantness, they finally took off. Artemis, hadn't got really any sleep that night, he tried to get some in his little wooden box. But it's hard to sleep when your feet are in your face and the smell of motor oil is stronger than you'd rather breathe.

In Holly's box things weren't much better. She had gotten stuck to a package with a music box in it that hadn't been turned off. The song of evil was playing: The piazza song. Why me? Holly thought. And as luck would have it, it's a two hour-long ride. So despite the horrible circumstances Holly curled up in her box and tried to get some sleep.

When Holly awoke next, an hour and a half had gone by. Ugh. Next time I fly, I'm going first class. Seeing that the trip of evilness had gone by, Holly thought that it might be a good idea to find Artemis and tell him.

"Artemis, you alive?" After a few minutes of grumbling and a by the sound of it a loud head bang, Artemis answered.

"Yes I'm alive, but not for long if this doesn't stop."

"Don't worry, the ride should be abo-" She was abruptly cut off by a sudden stop. Apparently they had come in early. While listening to hundreds of fairy people exit, Holly entertained her self with thinking of a horribly painful situation for Sool to be in. She chuckled to herself when she thought of a particularly good one, in which Stool is being attacked by Boo-Bahs while being held down by evil rabbits and having his eyes gouged out by Trolls, who are armed with plastics sporks. This was one of her better tortures for Sool.

One the other hand, Artemis was still trying to figure out how his mother and Butler had become mesmerized. I didn't make sense. He hadn't invited any fairy into his house. He wasn't enemies with any fairies in particular. He did find Sool quite annoying though, and Sool didn't seem to like him. But try to kill him? That isn't logical at all. Then again some fairies have this uncanny ability to hate him enough to kill him. Stop it! Artemis yelled at himself. Next thing you know I'll believe aliens exist.

"Spankey! There are two more boxes left. Get 'em would ya!" Gasp! Could it be other voices? They were finally getting out of the boxes of evil. After another thrashing.

Once Holly & Artemis had gotten loaded on the luggage car, driven to luggage pick up, and smacked around for another half an hour, they could come out of their little boxes. It wasn't the easiest of all tasks. First Holly had to call Foaly and get him to make up some reason why a human would be in Haven. It was a pretty lousy excuse. Apparently, Artemis had found out about the people and needed to be driven all the way to Haven on a commercial flight, just to get his mind wiped. And he was brought down by an ex-officer, but it was the best Foaly could come up with.

After that was done, Holly had to kick open her box, which was a lot harder than she thought it would be. Apparently, steel is hard. Who knew? Then, Holly decided to take her sweet time getting Artemis's box undone, so that caused a little time delay from Holly, and a lot from Artemis throwing a big fuss. Yet again, if looks could kill.

AN: If it sounds kinda boring now, don't worry it gets better. REVIEW PLEASE!
