Lalalalalalala what a wonderful morning, or afternoon, but anyway I am soooo happy.

I HAVE THE NEW ARTEMIS FOWL BOOK, and it it's great. And when I got it, and read the last few pages, I literally went insane. I did this weird demented ballerina dance in the middle of the bookstore. It was….quite scary actually.

Moving on.

Throughout this story, if anyone's noticed, I've put in two or three references to my other chapter fanfic, 'Holly's Date', ie the café Mulch and Artemis were going to meet Foaly in.

Well…having said that, it doesn't take a genius to figure out were this is placed.

Right?

Epilogue

Holly smiled and leaned back in the booth of the café. She was sitting next to Artemis, and they were both sitting across from Foaly and Mulch.

She'd been released out of the hospital that day, and Mulch proposed they go see Foaly that night after all, to make up for not being able to at first.

'So, how're you feeling?' Foaly asked Holly for what seemed like the millionth time that night.

'How many times have you asked me that?' Holly said exasperatedly.

'This is the 27th time. I've been counting,' Artemis commented dryly.

Mulch chuckled, and Foaly glared at him.

'So…how're you feeling?'

'FOALY!' Holly shouted.

'Sorry, sorry! Just asking!'

'28th,' Artemis muttered.

As the sky—or rather, the glow strips—darkened to a state of evening, Holly left the café with Artemis. Foaly offered to come to, but after having Mulch stamp on his hoof, he relented, with a suspicious glance.

Holly glanced briefly at the café doors. 'Nice place,' she said vaguely. Artemis nodded.

'Thanks,' Holly said suddenly.

'For what?'

'Just… you and Mulch staying at the hospital, I guess.'

' You think we wouldn't have?'

Holly shook her head. 'I just meant…' she gave up.

'It's alright,' Artemis said, laughing. 'I understand, I think.'

'Stupid painting.'

Artemis nodded. 'Well you're safe now, aren't you?'

'Hopefully.'

As they reached Holly's house, she turned around to face Artemis and smiled weakly. 'See you around?'

Artemis nodded before quickly, and once again impulsively, kissing Holly's cheek. He turned and headed back towards the streets, leaving Holly standing with an odd look on her face.

She opened her mouth to say something then shut it decisively.

Well. Her own bed, her own house. Something she hadn't had for a while.

She turned in her bed, touching her cheek, then her forehead, almost unconsciously.

She smiled suddenly, and let herself drift to sleep. A peaceful sleep, in her dream world. But she was no longer captured by her illness, her pains, but simply drifting away in a world of water…

Aww. Sorry it wasn't any more A/H. I just cannot write, what's the word, deeper I suppose, romance. Forcing my fingers to type it makes me think it's too mushy.

So…don't except to not see anything more of me. .:laughs evilly as everyone screams, already tortured with her terrible writing skills:. I have another chapter fic planned, 'Rain'. It might be a sequel to this…

Oh, and about The Lost Colony.

When I wrote the author's note at the chapter beginning, I was happy with the book. I am still happy with the book. It brings up loads of new fanfic ideas. BUT.

.:MINOR SPOLIERS:.

WHY DOES ARTEMIS HAVE TO GO THROUGH PURBERTY AND SAY HE'S ATRRACTED TO LIKE EVERY PRETTY GIRL HE MEETS EXCEPT HOLLY! I mean, with stupid Minerva he's all 'oh I'm the only one that understood your sophisticated joke, what a goddess you must be'. Minerva is a 12-year-old genius who CONVINETLY happens to be named after the goddess of wisdom. Oh wow, chemistry there huh?

Basically, it couldn't be clearer than day that they're going to get together. I happen to really dislike Minerva's character, I just find her annoying.

But there's 'something for everyone' in terms of ship, really. Holly/Foaly shippers don't really have a chance, Holly/Trouble neutral, Holly/Artemis…well. I'm biased on this, but there are defiantly some sweet moments. However, I'm not in denial enough to refuse to admit they're 'friendship' moments. Holly/Butler have some implications to go on, Foaly/Other centaur is confirmed, and they're the sweetest couple, except for the quote: 'Caballine likes me to be masterful. She calls me her stallion,' which for some reason scares me.
