Sooo, the first chapter was looked at some what, hopefully after a few more posts it will get more, out there. Idk, anyway here's the next chapter

Oh! And so sorry, but I kept on writing and, well, had a very long argument with myself about if the material I was writing was K+ or teen, I just couldn't decide, so I went on the safe side and went with teen.

Chapter 2: The Explanation

Replay:

They smiled at the same time and stayed that way until Holly thought of something terrible.

What just happened, and how am I going to tell the others about what happened?

Now here's the next chapter:

Artemis seemed to notice that Holly stopped smiling; he looked at her with concern, "What's wrong?"

Holly looked away; she just couldn't look at him in the eye. She told him how she kissed him, about the golden streaks.

Artemis, who didn't know how to react to holly about the kiss, thought it would be safer to question the golden streaks first, and talk about the kiss later, "What do you think the streaks meant? Why did they appear?"

"I don't know, but how are we going to explain this to the others? Just go in there and say 'hey, guess what, Artemis remembers everything now because I kissed him and these gold streaks wrapped around him.' No Artemis, and for two reasons. One, its weird, even for fairies, so foaly will experiment on you for a minimum of the next six months, and two, I wasn't thinking, ok, it was a mistake to kiss you, I didn't know what I was doing.

Some hardness came back into Artemis' face, but holly didn't notice. She was too busy thinking. He closed his eyes tight and said, "Then what do you think we should do?"

"I don't know mud boy, you're the genius."

"Well I just came back from the dead yesterday; my mind is still catching up to this cloned body. You are going to have to think something up."

"I don't know artemis."

"Just think, what would I do?"

Holly looked up at him guiltily, "You would lie, and say that you woke up that way, until you figured out how to straighten this mess up."

"Atta girl, now let's go do just that."

Artemis got off the bed and went out into the hallway, leaving Holly there thinking, "Did he just say 'Atta girl'? His brain must have gotten scrambled during the cloning." She sighed and went into the hallway to join Artemis in what would surely be the guiltiest moment in her entire life. But it had to be done.

Out in the hall, Artemis stops halfway to his study, "Are you sure you can do this?" He whispers to Holly.

"It's the only way." She replied.

He caught her hand and held it. Holly was having second thoughts about lying and he knew it, "you can do this, good luck."

"Thanks, I'll need it." She slid her hand up to his wrist, and made it look like she was in a hurry to get to the study, dragging Artemis, and barging in there. It seemed that Foaly, Mulch, and Butler were still trying to think of a solution on how to get Artemis' memory back.

"Guys!" She practically screamed, "H- he just woke up and remembered! I was sitting there and he opened his eyes and said he remembered!"

Butler grabbed Artemis by his shoulders and looks him over, as if he could actually see if that was the truth or not. At last, it seemed as though he couldn't decide if he did, so he asked, "What was the pass code to the house I lived in when you were gone for three years?"

Artemis smirked, "My birthday, old friend, 0-1-0-9."

Butler smiled, and hugged him tenderly as if he would evaporate into thin air if he hugged him too hard. After Butler let him go, he turned to see if Holly's act fooled Mulch. He held his hand out to him, and Mulch shook it, only Foaly left to trick, "It's nice to have you back."

"Nice to be back." Artemis turned to Foaly, who narrowed his eyes suspiciously.

"I've never seen or heard of anything like this, where you wake up, and suddenly have all your memories back."

Behind Foaly, Holly's eyes widened, but no one noticed it, except Artemis. But the young genius had already expected something like this for Foaly, so of course, he knew what to say.

"I vaguely remember hearing my life's story from Holly, which must have triggered my memories."

"But you still didn't remember even after she finished, when you fell asleep and Butler took you to your room."

"It must have needed a few hours to settle in then."

Foaly seemed to have been shocked by that remark. Memories always came straight to the person's brain as far as he could remember, as long as they were triggered by something. But like always, the mud boy seemed to be onto something, he sighed, and said, "Possibly."

By then Artemis had remembered something vitally important, "I should call mother and father, Butler, please tell me you explained all this to them."

Butler hesitated, as if nothing good was going to be said by him, "Yes, but only your mother believed me, so be careful when you talk to Artemis Sr."

"Will do." And with that, Artemis left.

Once Artemis was gone, Foaly turned to Holly, knowing she was the weak one when it came to lying. "Holly, are you sure that's how Artemis remembers?"

Holly swallowed the lump in her throat to lie straight through her teeth, "Of course, it was, exactly how Artemis explained it, that's how it must have been."

Foaly looked reassured, Holly would never lie to him. Then Mulch brightened up.

"Did he just say his birthday is coming up?"

And Foaly just had to use a smart remark on that, "No, he said his birthday was January Ninth."

"Oh shut up, you know what I meant. What I'm saying is that we should throw him a surprise birthday party."

"Oh, you just want food."

Holly started talking when she noticed the change in subject, "We should do that."

It was Butler who was the only one who didn't like the idea, "Artemis doesn't like surprises, he likes schemes, and dangerous adventures, and stuff that will almost get him killed."

Holly smiled, "Yeah, but I still want to see what he'll say when he gets surprised."

It was then that Artemis came back in, hanging up the phone as he looked up at his friends. "Father didn't believe me at first, but I was able to convince them. Don't ask how."

He nodded at Holly and she nodded back, good, he thought, Foaly believes it completely now.

Ok, so another chapter done, I'm basically going to be adding chapters every Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday sorry it's not everyday. Just too busy.

Now in the period of one day, I ran into another dilemma. I can't decide what the 2 genres are! It's at tie between all 4 of friendship, Fantasy, Romance, and drama. So please, once I get a few more chapters up, can ya'll decide for me? Just go to the review section and tell me the two you think describe this story best. Oh! And while you're there, leave a comment!

Encouragement or criticism, I just want to know what I'm doing right or not.
