Artemis entered the tent and looked at all his friends.
He sighed. He wanted to say goodbye to all of them, but that would give it away. So, he narrowed it down to two.
"Butler, can I speak with you?"
Butler followed Artemis out the tent and to the hill.
"What is it, Artemis?"
The genius sighed. He sat down gesturing for Butler to do the same.
"Have I changed Butler?"
The bodyguard frowned, trying to think about it.
"Well, you've gotten a bit taller. And you know have one hazel eye…"
"No Butler! I mean…"
Butler smiled.
"I know, Artemis. I was only winding you up. And yes, you have changed. A lot. And for the best."
The genius nodded.
"Why do you ask?" Butler said.
Artemis sighed. "Just wondering. And Butler I'd just like to say…well, um, I don't know how to say this but…"
He sighed.
"Thank you."
Butler frowned. "What for?"
Artemis stood up and brushed down his suit.
"For everything."
The genius started to walk away.
"Artemis?" Butler called.
He stopped and looked back.
"Yes?"
His bodyguard and friend(no, wait. His best friend) smiled at him.
"I'm proud of you."
Artemis smiled and continued to walk, a tear in his eye.
Five minutes later.
"What is it, Artemis?" Minerva asked, sitting next to him.
Artemis sighed.
"Minerva, I have to tell you something."
She smiled slightly and shuffled a little closer.
"What is it?"
"Minerva…I…I…"
He sighed. If he was going, he might as well go out with a bang.
"Minerva, I'm sorry to say, that I'm breaking up with you."
Artemis did go out with a bang. But he hadn't been hoping for one in the eye off a certain French genius.
An hour later.
Holly walked out side.
She had said goodbye to everyone who she needed to say goodbye to.
Well, except one.
Where is he?
That's when she saw him Sitting on the hill.
Holly walked over to him.
Trouble looked up and smiled at her.
"Hey," Holly said.
"Hey," he said, standing up.
He stepped closer and kissed her. Passionately. Tenderly. As if it was the last time they could touch.
Which is what it felt like to Holly.
"I need to tell you something," Holly started.
"There's something I need to say," Trouble said at the same time as Holly.
They blinked.
"You go first," Trouble said.
"No you. Please."
"No, you!"
Holly sighed. "When you said that you loved me. Well, when did you first realize it?"
Trouble thought about it.
"Just before the kidnapping."
She nodded. "Ok, your go."
Trouble took a deep breath. His hands where shaking.
He looked at Holly.
God, she's beautiful!
"I don't really know how to say this," he started.
Trouble sighed.
"You mean the world to me. No, in fact, you mean more than that! More than words can describe. You're just amazing. And that's why…that's why…I'm trying to say…"
He took another deep breath. Got down on one knee and took out a small box from his pocket.
He opened it to reveal a small ring.
"Holly Short, will you marry me?"
Holly didn't know what to say. She wanted to say yes. But what was the point? She was about to be launched back in time! But she knew what the point was. The point was that she loved him and that he loved her.
So, Holly said what she felt was right.
"Yes."
