A/N: WOW! Within two days of posting my first chapter, I had eight reviews! I LOVE you guys! Sadly, I don't have time to tack on any more plot, so here are some random little dreamish bits. But first... REVIEW ANSWERS!

alyios: Yeah... I can't wait for it:D

Annie-morphs: Hehe... I always read AF books looking for puns... there are so many of them if you really take the time to look. As for the romanticish scene... I just look for any excuse to smush Holly and Artemis together in canon. Colfer just needs to get his rear into gear, darnit!

Spring Pearl: Doesn't everyone love AH? It's so sweet...

Smidgie: Wow... I think that's the longest review I ever recieved:feels all fuzzy inside: haha... Artie-pie and Holly-poo... no, I don't think so. More like NEVERINAMILLIONYEARSEW XD Haha, I wouldn't put it past Minerva either... she should just become a lesbo and start making out with mirrors XD

When Artemis Lost His Brain - Dreamin'

Holly was asleep. An improvement on lying awake berating herself. Well, an improvement in some ways. In other ways it was just disturbing.

"Holly?" Artemis was calling softly. "Hoolly..." I opened my eyes to find myself lying on a luxurious bed, Artemis sitting next to me, and leaning over me almost indecently. I smiled warmly up at him.

"Morning, Artemis. Sleep well?"

"You know I didn't sleep much last night..." Artemis trailed off, smirking at me.

I laughed softly. "You're such a tease. Butler'll probably be here to check on you soon..." I giggled, knowing full well that this would annoy Artemis.

"I really don't see why he insisted on coming on our honeymoon." He frowned, not disappointing me.

"Of course you do, love, don't pretend you're dumber than you are. It doesn't suit you." I grinned, sitting up and using the blankets to cover my nakedness. Still pretending it was something he hadn't seen before. "We both know full well why he came. You're his principal." I kissed him lightly on the chin, but was surprised when I was caught by his lips... then the whole scene faded, to be replaced by me sitting on the bathroom floor, stark naked, and with no protection. I was totally, utterly alone... There was water on the floor, cold against my exposed skin... And I was crying for some reason, and then my head hurt, and my ears were shrinking, and I was falling... falling back onto the soft bed, where I closed my eyes, and the whole sequence began again. It didn't stop until there was a knock on the bathroom door, and then I fell back into my real bed, yelling;

"ARTEMIS!"

000

Artemis was lying on his bed, eyes closed, trying not to sleep, and trying to sleep at the same time. Eventually, the latter won.

"Artemis..." A soft voice was calling me. A voice I knew well. I opened my eyes, the smile already comfortable on my face.

"Holly..." I grinned up at the beautiful sight before me. Holly was wearing -that- negligee... the one she knew drove me wild. It was small, bright red, and slinky. Need I say more?

The beauty in front of me vanished, and I sat up, looking around for her. Holly had sat back on the bed, and was staring at me coquettishly over her shoulder, kneeling, back to me. Slowly, teasingly, she removed one strap, then the other, then she shot me a shifty grin. I beamed back at her, leaning forwards to place a tender kiss on her lips... And then it all shattered. I was falling through blackness... there was Holly in the bathroom, alone and afraid, but I couldn't save her, the door was just out of my reach, and then I was back at the beginning. It repeated several times, always vanishing at the kiss, until I finally managed to get a hold of the door. I knocked timidly, opened the door, and all at once it felt like an explosion, and I woke up to hear my name called.

Artemis leaped out of bed, startled into conciousness. Once his mind had jump-started, he realised it must be Holly. He didn't take the most direct route, instead going through to her room via the hallway.

He opened the door timidly to find Holly sitting up, sweating and panting as if she had just run a mile. She was shaking, and he had to resist the urge to put his arms around her as a remnant of that bizarre dream. Instead, he just padded softly over to her bed.

"Holly? Are you okay?" He asked timidly, and was surprised when Holly grabbed onto the front of his pyjama top, and just buried her face in it. He knew she wasn't crying; there were no tears, she was just breathing... was she... smelling him? He was considering this odd possibility when she let go of him and looked up at Artemis. There was a brief moment when both of them felt the magnetic attraction, and then...

Butler spoiled the mood again. He burst into the room wearing tartan ((A/N:shrug:)) pyjamas, pointing a gun straight into the room. He sighed, once he had assessed that there was no danger.

"You two have got to stop doing that." Then he spotted how tightly Holly was holding onto Artemis. He raised an eyebrow. "Should I leave?"

Holly shook her head, releasing Artemis. "It's nothing. I had a really weird nightmare, that's all. Uh... Artemis died..." She lied lamely.

Butler shrugged. "Goodnight, you two." He left, yawning slightly.

Artemis eyed her. "What did you really dream about?" He asked, sitting on the side of her bed.

"Uh... I was in the bathroom, and I was all alone and scared, and then something happened, and..." She shrugged. "I don't know. I just screamed." Holly left out the part that was in-between the bathroom scenes, for obvious reasons, though Artemis guessed fairly quickly because of the similarity to his dream.

"How very odd. I had a similar dream, only I could see you in the bathroom, I just couldn't get you. Finally I got to the door and knocked, but then you yelled and woke me." Artemis gave her a look that said plainly 'Let's-just-not-discuss-the-rest'.

Holly caught the look, nodding. "That's what woke me. I don't know why. It was just so weird. I haven't had a nightmare that woke me up for years..."

"Me neither. Maybe it was the magic..."

"Artemis!" Holly exclaimed. "Did you keep some?"

"Only a little." He admitted. "You have to admit that you would do the same, in my circumstances."

"You really are sneaky." Holly was smiling now, though she still looked pale and shocked. "You should go back to bed, I'm alright now." She yawned faintly. "I don't want to fall asleep on you."

Artemis nodded. He had been feeling the irresistable pull of his bed too. "Goodnight, Holly. Sweet dreams." He got up from her bed.

Holly felt his weight go, but knew he wasn't gone. "Night, mud-boy." She murmered, already drifting off.

Artemis just watched Holly sleep for a long time, before quietly returning to his own bed.

A/N: So that's just a little bit to say thanks for all the reviews! I mean it! I love you guys so much:D Keep reviewing, and I'll see if I can write a proper chapter next week, when I'm not on my way out of the house. The proper chapter being what I described last chapter. And here's a note from a friend of mine, who read this first;

"BUTLER'S TARTAN PYJAMAS ARE SEXY!"
