A/N: Sorry, I took so long! I wrote it a long time ago, but I rewrote it. I have a lot of Kiwanis that finished just a week ago. I took my time relaxing. I know my writing moves too fast and sorry. Give me suggestions, though I know you hate me, so go ahead and be rude.
Juliet stared.
" Well?" she demanded. "Out with it, who took it?" she shouted, actually furious. Artemis and Holly exchanged a glance. "I haven't seen it," Holly said with a straight face. "It's in your hand." Artemis missed nothing. In Juliet's sweaty palm, she clutched a tube of black liquid. Juliet's eyes darted to her hand. She stared at it. "Yay! Thank you!" and with that happy response she skipped out of the room.
Ooh, Juliet thought. Artemis and Holly sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G. She laughed silently. Maybe, just maybe, she'd give them a little nudge into a relationship.
Artemis stood up.
" You must be starving. I'm sorry, Captain, I'll go get your food," he said stiffly. Holly smiled. That was awkward Artemis Fowl for you. He walked to the door and opened it. He turned and started to say something. Than he clamped his mouth shut, turned and walked out the door.
Holly lay down backwards. Artemis, she thought. He really was a sweet person. His blue eyes had filled with concern in the most adorable way. His raven black hair falling onto his eyes. This amazing being was human. His style was so sophisticated at the same time. They had been through so much together.
At the same time, Artemis was outside thinking. Holly… She was so vulnerable. The little fiery captain was so amazing, it was unbelievable. She was something; he couldn't exactly describe it. The world couldn't afford to lose her, that, he knew. But there was something in her that just made her click. He shook his head. He didn't have time to analyze it. But her eyes, exactly like his, were like magic. Her pretty elfin figure, her hair… It was all so Holly. He shook his head again. He couldn't have these thoughts about Holly.
Meanwhile, Butler was watching everything. He wasn't surprised to see Artemis so unsure. The genius had never been unsure, but when it came to love, Artemis had an IQ of zero. He knew Artemis loved a challenge, though. All Artemis had to do was find out that this was a challenge. Once Artemis found a challenge, he wouldn't stop until he beat it.
Juliet was thinking. What could she do? Ask her brother, of course for Artemis's weaknesses, but Holly? What could she do about that firework? So much thinking to do… but she would complete her little mission, oh, yes she would. Artemis and Holly. It sounded so right. Artemis and Holly…
A/n: there! Wooooooo! The next chapter will be even harder to write. (groan) thank you commentators, you know who you are. Again, I'm sorry I took so long and my chapters are all so short. Comment if you like. If you really don't like it, just comment that you hate me. Again, I know I'm a terrible writer and I'm terribly sorry.
