We all stood in front of the fairy judge.

Bound in chains.

"What the hell?!! This is just insane! We just saved your butts and your sending us to jail and wiping our memories?!!! HE should be on trial!! HE WAS HELPING KOBOI!!! HE was the one who kidnapped me!!!" I shouted, stomping my foot like a three year old having a fit. The judge gave me a look and I made a face. Sool was standing on the other side of the room, face stern. "Commander Sool has already explained what his intentions were. And there is proof of mesmerization." The judge said in her monotone voice.

"Excuse me, but I have already been through this once." Artemis rubbed his temples, sighing and scowling. The repetition was giving him a headache. "Like I explained last time, this would be taking away about 5 years of my life. It is very confusing. And there is also proof, valid proof, that I will go back to my selfish criminal ways, and attempt something well, stupid."He said. The judge banged her gavel. "Overruled! Through studies we concluded that with her to keep you in control you will not revert into that monster." She pointed at me.

"But you can't wipe Holly Trouble and Mulchs memories!" I protested. "No. They will be stripped of whatever rank they may hold, and thrown into prison."

"What are the charges?!" I roared, now completely angered.

"You are being charged with the murder of Opal Koboi, and sneaking into Haven, tampering with Fairy technology, theft of a shuttle, and assault of an officer."

At the last one, we all raised an eyebrow. Except me. I smirked, remembering that glorious moment.

flashback

"Hey Sool!" The fat buggers head shot up, and followed the sound of my voice. I sat on top of the awning, giggling. In my hand I held a flat metal plate, connected to a rod. Sool took a step outside, and I let it swing down.

BULLS EYE!!

It nailed him in the face, and he flew back, hitting the now closed door. I cackled and jumped down, booking it back to Holly's.

end flash back

Everyone turned to look at me as I started giggling." What?! He deserved it!" I muttered, tossing my head proudly. Artemis snickered to himself, and looked back up at the fairy judge. "Have we not repented for our crimes? We got rid of Opal Koboi, who was public enemy number one-" "By murder." The judge said, interrupting.

"As it says in your book, and our bible. An eye for an eye. One who killed was killed in return." Artemis quoted. I grinned. Gotta give the boy some credit for his smarts. The judge frowned at us. "yes that is true... But there are still the other charges!"

"We have legitament proof that we did nothing of the sort. We had passports!" I did a back bend and grabbed mine out of a pocket on my cargo pants. Everybody gave me weirded out looks as I stood up straight. "Fee! i'wi'ee!" The bailif took it from me, and I smirked. "this is a varifiable fairy passport..."

"And, might I add that we did not, in fact, STEAL a shuttle. That was stolen by Ms.Koboi-"

"And I was TIED to it, and almost shot into a rock face BY MOLTEN LAVA." I reminded them loudly, cutting Artemis off. He gave me a look and I rolled my eyes at him.

"And I only tampered a little." He said, looking innocent. "and you've never had a problem with it before. It was for the greater good"

"That still leaves the assault of an officer." The Judge snapped, angry that we were proving her wrong apparently.

" He started it." I muttered.

"So it was you?"

I grinned."Yes. And I won't take it back. He started it, I finished it."

The judge gave me a look. I scowled."He bothered me. He shoved that damn neutrino against my back. Wanna see the bruise?" I turned around, and got Artemis to show her the bruise. It was about the size of a toonie. "That occured after."

"oh yeah.." I laughed nervously, then started to think. What had he done that day...

Nothing.

"Well He did something I just can't remember." I snapped, huffing. "Then the only one charged shall be you. The rest of you are free to go."

My eyes widened. She was letting them go...I was staying, but Artemis was going free.

"They're alot more lenient than human judges." I smiled at him. His blue eyes stared at me, and I could see his arms shaking. I giggled and buried my head in his shoulder, hugging him best I could with my arms chained. He wrapped his newly unbound arms around me, and buried his face in my hair. Nobody moved and my shoulders started to shake. I realized that I didn't know anything. "what's my punishment?" I asked, looking up at the judge. "Your memories will be wiped, after one year in the atlantian jail."

Nevermind. Not less lenient. My jaw dropped."B-but I only hit him a little!" I spluttered. The judge blinked and looked down at her page. "Sorry, 9 months."

Not much better.

Suddenly Artemis grabbed me again, and hugged me so tight I thought for a second that I could see stars.

Artemis's POV

After hearing her sentence her eyes widened and she started to shake. 9 months was a long time, especially to someone like her. I grabbed her and pulled her towards me, hugging her as tight as I could. I didn't want to let her go. I wouldn't let her go.

(tessa's POV)

"Artemis." I coughed a bit. "I can't breathe..." I wheezed. He loosened his grip, and looked over my head at the judge. Stupid tall people...

"You can't do this." He said coldly, and truthfully, it kinda scared me.

"I'm afraid I can mud boy now let her go and she shall be escorted to the atlantian ship that will take her to her...destination."

"No. That is not what I meant. I mean, by law, you cannot hold a human in your jails." The judge blinked. "It's in this little paper you so carelessly dropped." from inside the jacket of his suit he produced a crisp white piece of paper. Handing it to her, she turned a bright crimson. "Also, if you wipe her memories, please keep in mind that I will trigger them again." The judge scowled, as did Sool." Then we shall wipe yours as we-" Sool started.

"That is where you are wrong." Artemis snapped, his blue eyes snapping with icy fire." You will not be able to correctly preform the mind wipe without Foaly's precision. And he quit on you. Now if you DO do a mind wipe you shall end up wiping valuable memories, which do not involve the fairies. I will not submit to this, and I shall find a way to get my revenge if you do." Sool balked at this speech, and Artemis continued." Now you shall release my fellows and I and we shall be on our way, rid of you for the rest of our natural lives, we can only hope." Artemis snatched the keys out of the bailif's astonished hands, uncuffed me, and dragged me out along with the others.

Reg POV

As we sat in the shiny black SUV nobody moved. Nobody spoke. It was one of those tense silences where if you make a sound, you get a dirty look. The reason for this silence, was Artemis. He was sitting completely still, legs crossed, eyes foreward, and damn did he look pissed.

I shifted in my seat, and then something horrendous happened.

I hiccuped.

Everyone stared, and I did it again. And again. And again. It wouldn't stop!

A smile crept onto Kahn's face and she started to laugh. It was infectious. Soon all four of us were laughing, and Butler was having a hard time driving.

We laughed until we reached the Manor, and got out of the car. As soon as my foot touched thr ground I leaped up into the air, laughing and whooping.

"YES! THE SURFACE! I LOVE THE SURFACE!" I did a dance, adn everyone laughed when I fell on my butt.

"The rock moved I swear." I said, hopping onto my feet. When I bent to dust of my pants I saw four pairs of feet standing beside me and stood up straigt, only to find myself looking up into the faces of the two people I REALLY didn't want to see, and the two people I didn't really mind.

Artemis's parents, and mine.

And so, the series comes to a close...cackles If you want to know what's going on, read the mini-series...now where did I put that binder damn it...
