A/N: Alright, this part takes place during the shuttle ride from Hybras to Ireland in TLC. And words in italics like this are someone's thoughts. And before I forget this story acknowledges the metamorphosis( if you don't know what that is read Artemis Fowl: The Metamorphosis by NeppyMan) and there probably will be some ooc'ness

Artemis was pondering about a thought he had found during the second time tunnel.

"NO! I can't tell him it would be so wrong!"

" But, it would feel so right."

"I know but, it would never work out, I'd outlive him by centuries." Then they rematerialized on Earth.

Artemis had a pretty good idea of who's thoughts they were but, who was arguing with her? Her subconscious? Just then said person walked into the room.

"Hey, what's up?" Holly asked while taking a seat next to Artemis in a separate room on the shuttle.

"Just thinking" he replied looking up at her.

"About what?" she asked starring at him while her subconscious was thinking "Man he looks so handsome right now" "What the hell am I thinking?!" said her consuous mind.

"Something I heard, if you can call it that, in the time tunnel. It sounded like someone was arguing with their subconscious"

At this remark Holly almost jumped out of her seat thinking "Oh, crap! He heard me!" but, aloud she said "Who do you think it was?"

"I'm quite positive it was you Holly. In fact I would bet my life on it, and that's something I won't usually do."

"I only caught the end of it but this what you said "No! I can't tell him it would be so wrong!" "But, it would feel so right." "I know but, it would never work out, I'd outlive him by centuries." see? Now do you know why I know it was you?"

"Yeah it was me." Holly replied

"Were you referring to me?" Artemis asked

"Yeah" she answered. Just then suddenly Artemis leaned over and kissed Holly full on the lips. She visibly palled and stiffened for a moment but just Artemis was going to pull away and apologize for his first mistake when she embraced him and pulled him closer and returned the kiss with just as much passion. Soon they were laying on the floor making out. Commander Root was walking by on his way to the restroom when he saw Artemis on top of Holly on the floor through a small crack in between the door and the wall.

"FOWL!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO CAPTAIN SHORT?!" Roared Root as he bust open the door and pulled out his neutrino and took aim at Artemis.

"Commander this isn't what you think it is," said Artemis in a calm voice but, before he could finish Root roared

"FOWL WHAT I THINK THIS IS, IS THAT YOU WERE ABOUT TO RAPE CAPTAIN SHORT!"

Then Holly spoke up when Root was about to blast Artemis into unconsciousness and said "No Commander he was not trying to rape me, and he was just kissing me. In other words it was consensual."

"Holly are you telling me you and mud boy over here were making out?" Root said almost softly.

"Yes sir." Holly replied.

"Then you two are in love or something?" asked Commander Root unbelievingly.

"Yes and I'm not ashamed of it" replied Holly while taking Artemis's hand in hers.

A/N: Alright then, that was pretty short but yeah it will be continued I'm just lazy right now and its late. And before you flame saying that "Commander Root died in bk. 4" DON'T I repeat DON'T because all will be explained in later chapters. R&R please!
