Ok my line thing is STILL NOT WORKING! So I have found an alternative. k...k.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Holly sat there a little uninterested in the crowds. Artemis's parents had taken him away for 5 minutes now and she was a little bored. A couple of girls had come to her to comment on how lucky she was to be going out with The Artemis Fowl the Second. Holly just smiled and tried to be nice even though they bugged her more that being bored.
After a few more minutes of boredom she walked over to Artemis and said, "I'm going to get a breath of fresh air. I'll be back in a couple of minutes."
He nodded and the discussion between him and his parents started again. She turned and walked over to the doors trying to be discreet so no one really noticed her. What she didnt notice was that no matter what she did she was being watched. As she slipped through the door she tripped, making some people notice and laugh.
She got out into the hall and walked over to a bench sitting in the hall. She sat down and attempted to stop her heart from pounding. It was getting humid in there and the dress wasnt helping, plus the fact that it was tight and hard to breathe in it. Just as she was leaning her head back on the chair she heard footsteps.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Holly walked right past him without noticing him. He waited till she got to the door. He was about six feet away, when he saw her trip over herself in the doorway. It created some giggles but they subsided easily. He started to walk to the door.
-----------------------------Hehe I'm evil---------------------------------------------
The walking stopped in front of her. She looked foreword when a hand covered her mouth. She pushed the hand away and was about to punch whomever touched her when she stopped and hit him anyway.
Artemis laid on the floor holding his nose, "Now why did you have to go and do that?"
"You scared the crap out of me you jerk," Holly replied crossing her arms.
"I'm sorry," Artemis said apologetically trying to get up, "Please, dont be mad."
"Oh, I'm not," Holly said smiling, cocking her head to the side, "I already got my revenge."
He laughed and smiled, "I love it how you do that. Just cock your head to the side and act all innocent."
"Yep," She nodded and looked at his nose, it was starting to bruise, "Here let me help you with that."
She stepped closer to him and put a hand on his nose. Blue sparks went over his nose making it tingle, he tried to wiggle his nose to make it stop and Holly laughed. She let her hand down slowly and they looked at eachother for a moment.
"HEY P.D.A." Juilet screamed from the door her and Trouble must have just walked through.
"Hey Juliet you call that P.D.A."Artemis asked pulling Holly closer kissed her softly on the lips. She sighed and he raised an eyebrow at her.
"Aww.." Juliet cooed, " No more Public Displays of Affection."
"Your no fun," Holly replied crossing her arms.
Trouble eyes went wide and he stared, "You really like him dont you?"
Holly blushed and turned his head to look at her, "Will you all stop looking at me, I didnt come from a freak show."
"Why wont you answer the question, Holly?" Artemis asked smirking.
"You already know what the answer is," Holly said trying not to look at anyone.
"Oh come on," Trouble said leaning closer to Juliet, "I like Juliet so why dont you tell us."
"Okay," Holly said hiding her face behind her hands, "I like him."
"Who?" Juliet asked putting her hand to her ear.
"I like Artemis," Holly replied in a muffled tone from her hands.
"You act like its a bad thing," Artemis asked and Holly thought she heard hurt in his voice.
"It's embarassing," Holly cut in, "I've never really just been all, 'Oh I'm going out with Artemis, isnt that so awesome.'"
Artemis wrapped his arms around her and laid his head on her shoulder, whispering, "If it makes you feel better. I have no idea what I am doing. I've never had a girlfriend."
Trouble started to laugh and Holly glared at him making him shut up. She smiled at Artemis and took his hand, "Then were even. Lets go dance!"
Artemis was dragged to the door, followed by Juliet and Trouble when they heard the front door shut, making Holly lose balance and fall in a heap on the floor. Artemis laughed at her and she smacked his leg before getting helped off the floor. When she was up someone stepped around the corner.
Ark Sool!
Juilet and Trouble walked in the ballroom, Holly only noticed this when the door shut behind her making her jump. Artemis turned to look at her with a raised eyebrow and tried to hold back a chuckle.
"Fowl," Sool said walking up the hall to them. In her head Holly was praying he would trip over his own feet and make a fool of himself. Holly then realized the worst, he looked human, which meant he knew about the potion, too.
"How do you do Commander," Artemis said bowing slightly making her eyebrow raise. Since when did he bow?
"And may I ask who your friend is," Sool asked pretending to be nice. Since Holly knew him and wasnt stupid she knew that but was just glad he didnt know it was her.
"Anna," Holly said in an accented voice, hoping he didnt read the news.
"Its a pleasure to meet you Miss Anna," Sool said looking her in the eye. For a moment she thought he recognised her but then he shook her hand and talked to Artemis, "I have a matter to discuss with you in private if I may."
"I'm terribly sorry Commander, you see, it is my birthday and this is my party," Artemis said sincerly causing Holly to become even more confused, "May I ask for you to come back at a later time. I know how difficult it is to come back and forth but you really did pick a wrong time."
"Would you mind if I waited," Sool asked seeming to get a little mad.
"Why not," Artemis said putting his arm around her, "Why dont you join the party. The more the merrior."
With that they turned around and went into the ball room leaving Sool to his decision. Wanting to check the party he came in after them and Holly ran from Artemis's side. She went straight to Trouble and Juilet.
"I suggest that you make sure Sool doesnt see you," Holly said taking a deep breath, "That would be bad."
"You seem to be scared of him," Trouble laughed.
She shivered and replied as she ran off, "You bet!"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kyle sat back down at his table. That Fowl kid had gotten in his way and he was mad now. He sat at the table and saw Holly go to Juliet and the boy she was with. Holly seemed a lot more nervous then before because she was close to jumping up and down.
Holly reached Artemis and put her arm around his shoulder, rocking back and forth a little. He wrapped his arm around her waist in return and kissed her on the cheek. He followed that with whispering something. She calmed down and then hit him, but he only laughed and walked her over to the punch table.
Someone tapped him on the shoulder and he turned around expecting some human girl. Instead he was greeted by a dear friend.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Holly leaned against the punch table and drink a little bit of punch, "I cannot believe he is here. I mean come on what would make him come here of all places. Plus, he didnt even recognise me and he hates me. How do you forget the people you hate?"
"Easy," Artemis replied lowering his own cup from his lips, "Maybe he doesnt hate you."
"Ha," Holly snorted, "Oh yeah. You may have made me look like an idiot in front of the counsel but I dont hate you anymore. Ok!"
"Dont get sarcastic with me," Artemis said throwing his cup away and walking toward her, "I'm giving you options. Dont patranize me."
Holly set her cup down and crossed her arms, "You cant tell me what to do."
"Well technically it's my house so, yes, I can," Artemis replied wrapping his arms around her. She smiled and laughed. "What I'm serious."
Holly continued to laugh and noticed she wasnt looking at him. He turned around and saw Trouble making a face. He stopped and whistled. Artemis gave him a look and asked, "Aren't we imature?"
"Yes we are," Trouble said leaning on Artemis's shoulder. Juliet ran past grabbing his other arm and pulled him away. She kissed him and started jumping up and down.
"Guess what," She said excitedly.
"What?" Trouble asked.
She smiled widely, "He said yes."
"Yes," Trouble replied looking at Artemis and Holly who were starting at them, "Its none of your business, yet."
"Yet?" Holly asked cocking her head to the side and raising an eyebrow.
"You know you spend way to much time with Artemis," Juliet stated, "I mean you even raise your eyebrow like he does."
Artemis laughed but Holly just said, "Just tell me why you said yet."
"You'll see," Juliet said and then Chris stood up to the microphone as the music stopped.
"Alright lady's and gentleman," Chris said pushing his guitar to his side, "We have a very special event for you all tonight. Two really, but this one we decided all on our own with the help of a friend."
Holly looked at Juliet, "What did you do?"
"Nothing I swear," Juliet said unaffected and still smiling.
A light hit Artemis and Holly as Chris said, "Artemis and woman please come up on the stage."
"WHAT DID YOU CALL ME?" Holly shouted loudly as Artemis took her arm and led her to the stage.
Her outburst made some people laugh as she fumed and was pulled to the stage. When they got to the stairs she walked up them with her arms crossed. Many people laughed because they could tell she was mad.
"Ok, now that we have this fabulous couple up here. Alex will say a few words," Chris said leaving the mic and leading Holly and Artemis behind the stage curtains.
Holly pushed him and whispered angrily, "WOMAN! YOU CALLED ME WOMAN!"
" I couldnt call you Hollly cause Sool is out there and I couldnt call you Anna cause everyone knows your Holly."
She crossed her arms and sighed, "What do you want?"
"You and Artemis to sing," Chris said smiling.
Artemis paled and Holly laughed, "Your mental."
"Your going to," Chris said, " Were making you."
"I cant sing," Artemis said flatly, crossing his arms.
"Juliet has heard you sing in the shower plenty of times," Chris said crossing his arms in mock, "So we have you on that one. Plus, we know a song you both know."
"Like what?" Holly asked.
"You'll see," Chris said walking back onto the stage.
Holly growled, no really she did, "I'm gonna kill him."
"Not if I get him first," Artemis replied.
She laughed and streached as she yawned, "This is gonna be weird."
"Why," He asked.
"I've never sung in front of like a million people before," Holly replied shrugging, "The biggest was a party at Chris's and that was Kareoke."
"I'm here for you," Artemis said wrapping his arm around her shoulder.
"If you can sing," Holly said smirking.
"Hey," he said acting offended, "Well to let you know. I'm a great singer."
" Yeah ok," Holly said smiling.
"Alright then so will Holly and Artemis please join us on the stage," Chris annonced.
