A/N: Okay, this is something I thought of recently. Basically, it'll be a collection of one-shots that give some of the characters an inside joke. This first one is between Holly and Artemis, and yeah, it's kind of OOC.

Disclaimer: The characters of Artemis Fowl and the plotline of Pearl Harbor are not mine.

I: Parachutes

Holly thumbed her way through the Fowl's DVD collection. "How about this one?" she asked Artemis, pulling the movie Pearl Harbor off the shelf. "Doesn't this have to do with the Mud People's Second World War?"

"Well, yes," answered Artemis. "But I hear it has a romance plotline as well."

But Holly would not be deterred as Artemis had shot down all of her earlier movie ideas. "So you've been told? So you yourself have never seen it? C'mon, Arty, we're watching this."

"All right," sighed Artemis. "We can watch Pearl Harbor."

The movie has been insufferable up to this point, thought Holly. Two best friend guys that liked the same girl, big whoop. Then the one who was dating her died, and the other one closed in. Currently, the two were entering a parachute hanger.

There were parachutes hanging from the ceiling. They entered one, and then:

"Wha?" Artemis's mouth hung open. "Oh my…"

Holly turned her head from the screen and looked at Artemis. "Haven't you ever seen IT before?"

"Well," Artemis began, blushing a deep red," I mean I've READ about it, and I know how it works, but no, I've never seen it before."

"Arty, I bet you're the only sixteen year old that hasn't yet seen it. Heck, I bet you're one of the only guys that haven't DONE it yet."

"Don't be disgusting," Artemis said. "Anyway," he added, a sly smile creeping onto his face, "I bet you haven't done it either." He turned back toward the TV.

"Holy Frond, Artemis, that isn't any of your business!" Holly blushed a deeply.

Artemis was no longer paying her any attention. "I never expected it would look quite like that," Artemis mused aloud.

"Ugh, Artemis, stop it!" Holly left the room and wandered into the kitchen where Butler was sitting, reading. He looked up when she entered.

"Where's Artemis?" he asked.

"Getting his first taste," she answered vaguely.

"Of… What?" Butler pressed on.

"He's watching Pearl Harbor," Holly supplied.

"Oh," said Butler looking puzzled. "Oh," he said again as something clicked in his brain.

And all he could do was laugh.

A few weeks later, Artemis, Holly, Foaly, and Mulch were video chatting.

Mulch and Foaly seemed to have it out for Holly that day, and neither seemed to notice that they had made her a bit down. So, it was up to Artemis to cheer her up. Not something that he was insanely good at, so he said the first thing that popped into his head: "Parachute scene."

Mulch and Foaly looked at him like he was crazy, but Holly began to laugh and laugh as she thought of the situation. Artemis began to laugh too, and Foaly and Mulch wondered just what had they missed.

A/N: So, what did you think? This is actually an inside joke me and some of my friends share. Hopefully, the T rating covers this. I mean, it's never SAID directly, right? Anyway, review and tell me what you think.
