Hey guys! Here's the last chapter! I'm sad that it's over, but have no fear, there will be a sequel! And my next story is coming up very soon! So keep your eyes open!

I just want to say thank you for all the support! If it wasn't for you guys, I might never have finished!

Enjoy this chapter!

Change is in the Air.

Holly felt shocked and disbelief break through the feelings of love and passion, as Artemis kissed her. The fact that he was alive and kicking was great, but still un-nerving.

How?! What happened!? This is unbelievable!

But with Artemis, nothing was ever believable or ordinary. Butler had once said that Artemis couldn't walk to a shop and buy milk without something blowing up. That would probably be the shop in question.

Holly worried that she dreaming, that in reality she had cried herself to sleep. But the touch of his hands and the feel of his warm body felt all too real. There wasn't a dream that would ever be able to match up to this.

But suddenly, all thought was lost, as Artemis rolled onto her, holding her close to his chest. She couldn't help but respond, opening her mouth for him, as his tongue demanded access.

After what felt like forever, Artemis pulled away.

She looked up into his face, and saw the huge grin that took up most of his face. His mismatched eyes sparkled happily, as he watched her reaction.

She opened her mouth, and then closed it again, too lost for words.

Finally, words came.

She shook her head, "How is this possible! Don't get me wrong, I'm ecstatic that you're alive, but I'm still confused! I thought you were dead! You wouldn't move!"

Artemis shrugged.

"I was in shock. I thought I was dead! But when I felt you kiss me, I knew that I just had to be alive."

Understanding dawned on her, and her face lit up.

"That was the soft heart beat I kept hearing when I cried on your chest! I thought the heart beats were my own, but they were yours all along!"

Artemis nodded seriously.

"That's probably the best explanation for it."

Suddenly, all her shock and disbelief disappeared, and was replaced with happiness and joy.

She sat up, hugging him tight. She never wanted to leave his side again. If she had to, she's wrap him up in bubble rap, and put a sticker saying 'fragile' on his chest. She'd do anything to keep him safe.

Artemis hugged her back, swaying her from side to side.

"I though I'd lose you." She whispered into his chest.

He rested his cheek on top of her head, closing his eyes, feeling at home and content.

"I knew you'd save me." He replied, kissing her hair.

Holly laughed softly.

"I do love it when you wake up, and your kisses are always great after you've had a near death experience, but I think I've had enough. This is the last time I want to see you standing at deaths door."

Artemis nodded, grinning to himself.

"I agree. But if it's better kisses you want, I can surely try to meet your expectations." he said wryly.

Holly smiled, and looked up into his face. When she saw his smile, she felt herself melt, her heart feeling like it would burst.

With a contented sigh, she sat up straighter, and pressed her forehead to his, her eyes closing slowly. Everything seemed to fall into place at that moment.

"I love you." she whispered.

Artemis gave a slight gasp, then chuckled happily.

"I love you too. But honestly Holls, why did I have to wait so long and have so many near death experiences just to hear those words!?"

Holly pulled back, frowning slightly.

"Arty, it's only been two days."

Artemis gave a huff, rolling his eyes.

"Two days, two years, what difference does it make!? Felt like a damn life time!"

Holly had too laugh at this. Artemis could never just let something rest. It was most probably the whole reason theyed come together in the first place.

Holly got up, punching Artemis playfully on the shoulder.

"Come on Arty. Stop moaning, and just be grateful for what you have."

Artemis muttered something under his breath as he stood up, massaging his shoulder.

Holly stifled a giggle when she saw the sour look on his face. He was holding what was left of his suit.

Some things never change! But maybe that's a good thing.

She grinned as she clipped Artemis to her moonbelt.

"Honestly, you could of at least saved the material! What am I going to wear now?" he muttered, staring at the bits of clothing in mild disgust.

Holly scowled, becoming genuinely irritated.

"You should be thankful you're not heading home in a body bag!" she snapped.

Suddenly, Artemis snapped his fingers, as something important came to mind.

"I almost forgot! We have to go back to the warehouse first. A friend is waiting there for us."

Holly looked at him in mild surprise.

"Who would be there now? I didn't call for reinforcements."

Artemis gave her a sly wink, as she launched them both into the air.

"Who said that I didn't?" he asked, turning his head away from her to look down at the forest canopy below.

At that moment, Holly had to resist the urge to strangle him.

"So we went through all of this, when we could have simply waited for the LEPto arrive?! We could have avoided all of this!!"

Artemis shrugged, obviously unfazed.

"Well, yes. But look at all the good that has come of this. I don't regret what I did. And besides, you really were quite impressive when you had that fight with Opal!"

Holly shook her head, to tired to argue.

"You're going to be the death of me, Arty!"

Artemis' smile disappeared.

"I do hope not. I plan to spend the rest of my life with you. I don't see how it can turn out differently."

Holly sighed.

"You do know that your plans could cause some problems. You're life is a lot shorter than mine Arty." she said sadly.

Artemis bit his lower lip.

I plan to change that. He thought, as they flew across the Irish Countryside.

As the two of them landed in the warehouse, they were greeted by a very excited centaur.

Artemis gave a yelp of surprise as Foaly charged towards him, and pulled Artemis into a rough hug.

"Artemis!! You're alive!! Oh, you have no idea how worried I was about you! Opal kept ranting about how she killed you!! And we found the knife!! Oh gods, you have no idea how upset I was! I'm going to lock both of you in a padded cell I'll throw away the key!"

Artemis struggled in the centaurs arms, trying to breath.

Foaly let him go and turned to Holly, pulling her into a much gentler embrace.

Holly laughed, patting him on the back.

"I'm fine Foaly! Look, I'm topped up and fully healed!"

Artemis grinned.

Then, he raised his index finger into the air dramatically, as blue sparks erupted from the tip.

"As you can both see, so am I." he said, his voice layered in ill-concealed triumph.

Both fairy's stared at him, there jaws hanging in shock.

Holly groaned and buried her head in her hands.

"Oh no. Not again!"

Artemis opened his mouth to say something, but was interrupted by a loud scream from behind.

They turned around, and the blood drained from Artemis and Holly's cheeks.

Opal stood a few paces away from them, her eyes wide in horror. She was being held in place by a squad of LEP elves, all of which had a worried look on their faces.

"No!!!! I killed you!!! I did it with my own hands!! How!!? This isn't possible!!!" she cried out, her cheeks pasty white.

Artemis put on a wicked smirk.

"My, my Opal! You do look pale! You look like you've seen a ghost!" he called cheerfully to her, giving her his infamous vampire smile.

Opal gave a howl of rage, struggling against her restraints. She shook her chained fists at the teenager, her expression murderous.

"You'll pay for this!!!! I'll kill you Fowl!!! You'll lie in a pool of your own blood!!!" she screamed, shaking in anger.

Artemis merely shrugged.

"That's what you always say!" he called, turning back to his fairy friends.

Holly hung her head, her shoulders sagging.

"Will this ever end?" she murmured.

Forgetting where he was, Artemis stepped towards her, and held her close as he kissed her hair, rocking her gently.

They both heard a startled gasp, and they turned to look at Foaly. He was staring at them, his eyes wide.

After a long pause, he finally spoke.

"I knew it! I knew this would happen! I immediately heard something was wrong when you two came back from the past! You just couldn't obey the rules, could you Holly?" he asked, grinning from ear to ear.

Holly scowled.

"I'm not breaking any rules! Trust me, I've checked."

Foaly snorted.

"No offence Holly, but that's because no body's stupid enough to do this! But...I do support you. Believe it or not, I'm happy that you two are a couple! It took you long enough!"

But then he froze, as he thought silently to himself.

"But... I do think a change would help."

Artemis nodded seriously.

He's very right. A change is definitely in order!

Suddenly, Foaly clapped his hands together, shocking them out of their thoughts.

"Well come on! It's time for us to head home! You two can go too Fowl Manor. I'll see you at OPs Holly! And I don't think I need to remind you about Internal Affairs!"

Holly winced.

"No Foaly, you certainly don't."

But Artemis grabbed Foaly's arm.

"Where's the Bentley!?" he asked, still gripping Foaly's arm.

"Relax, mud boy! I got one of my elves to drive it back home for you!" said Foaly, still grinning.

Artemis let him going, frowning in worry.

"If there's a single scratch..."

Foaly laughed happily. Then, with a cheery wave he trotted off, making towards a waiting shuttle.

Holly sighed, as she clipped Artemis back to the moonbelt.

"Honestly, he could of at least given us a lift back!" she grumbled unhappily.

Artemis turned around, pulling her close to him.

"Maybe he wanted to give us some time to be alone." he murmured, kissing the corner of her mouth.

"Maybe." she whispered back, turning her head slightly to cover her lips with his.

The kiss was sweet and lingering. There was nothing hasty or fierce about it. But despite this fact, both of them still shivered with uncontrolable pleasure.

Artemis pulled away to look at her, a sly smile on his lips.

"Is this where we hold hands and fly off into the sunset?" he asked wryly.

Holly laughed, reaching around him and taking his hand.

"Yes, I do think so." she answered happily, as she launched them into the sky, the sunset sparkling around them.

As they flew, Artemis unclenched one of his fists, and glanced at the auburn hairs sitting in the palm of his hand.

While they were kissing, Artemis had ran his hand through her hair, pulling a few strands as he did so.

I have some some very important plans for you. He thought, as the flew across the sky, heading back towards Fowl Manor.

That's a rap! I hope you liked it! And there WILL be a sequel! There just has to be! I have left just too many unanswered questions open! But while you're waiting for the sequel (which will be called 'Artemis Fowl and the Time for Change.') you can read my next story, which is called 'Artemis Fowl and The Undercover Operative'! Sorry for the lame title, but it was all I could come up with! It is also after TTP.

Thank you all for the awesome support! I couldn't have done it without your great reviews! And for all of you who haven't reviewed yet, please do! I'm making a goal to receive 200 reviews!

And thank you to Flossi and Mange! You guys are the best!

See you soon Flossi! And you're right! I do believe we were separated at birth! Curse my mother for taking the wrong baby at the hospital! Flossi, I'm happy to say that you're my long lost sister! :)

Bye bye! But I'll be back, so keep your eyes open! ;)
