You people have to vote in the poll! It concerns Holly's height. Please vote! And review this too...that would be nice. Hehe.

Holly found the two demon warlocks in a classroom. Qwan was still teaching things to No. 1, even after all these years. The little demon picked things up quickly, but he had a lot to learn.

When he saw Holly, No. 1 waddled over and gave her a big hug. "Holly!"

Holly embraced the little gray warlock. "I haven't seen you for a while No. 1. I think you might have grown," she said, looking up at the demon.

No. 1 grinned. "Do you think?"

Holly nodded and glanced at Qwan. "Nice to see you Qwan."

"Nice to see you too, but what brings you down here Holly?"

"Well, I have a dilemma," Holly said, sitting on a table. "I'm going to marry Artemis Fowl."

Qwan's eyes went wide and No. 1 jumped up and down. "I'd better be invited to the wedding."

"You will be," Holly assured him. "But first I need to know, is it possible for me to be made taller, considering I'm about half of Artemis's height? This is my dilemma. Along with the fact that I'm going to outlive him by a few centuries unless something is done to his or my lifespan."

"I can make you taller Holly," No. 1 offered.

Holly smiled. "Thanks No.1, but that's less of a problem than the life-span thing." She turned to Qwan. "Anything you can do?"

Qwan looked thoughtful for a moment. "I could probably whip something up, although I couldn't guarantee that he – or you - wouldn't die from it."

Holly winced. "That isn't really preferable. Is there anything you could do with magic? Maybe something you could teach No. 1?"

Qwan rubbed his chin with his thumb and forefinger. "There is one spell…it hasn't been done in centuries, but it has always been handed down; the Spell of Life. I'm really not sure who came up with it since it has only ever been used once in the history of the People. It gives a human a fairy's lifespan."

Holly grinned. "Perfect. I prefer that over shrinking my lifespan. I don't really want to die in fifty years."

"Obviously there will still be danger of something going wrong, but I'll teach it to No. 1 since he's more powerful than I am." No. 1 smiled shyly at the compliment.

Holly nodded. "I'll take the risk and I'll ask Artemis if he minds."

"Does this mean that you're getting married?" blurted out No. 1 suddenly.

Holly blushed a little and smiled. "I guess so."

No. 1 jumped up and down as much as his stubby legs would allow. "Am I invited?"

"Of course you will be," Holly said, laughing. "He hasn't actually proposed to me yet though."

Qwan smiled. "Come No. 1. It seems I have a new spell to teach you. I will contact you when he's ready Holly."

No. 1 waved goodbye to Holly and followed his teacher into one of the different classrooms which was actually sound-proof, bullet-proof and most importantly, magic-proof.

Holly waved back to the little warlock before leaving the warlock building. She smiled a little to herself as she shut the door. She was going to be married to Artemis. It was what she'd been hoping for since she first fell in love with him.

Even though she had lost her job and most of the respect she had gained over the years, he heart was light. She would go to Artemis now and wait for Qwan to call her. They would be transported to Fowl Manor where they would perform the spell on Artemis to give him the life-span of a fairy, and they would make her taller. She owed them. Maybe Qwan could marry them and No. 1 could walk her down the aisle or something. She'd figure it out later. But she had a Mud Man to see again. She was anxious to get back to him.
