A/N: Yay! Okay, so, we got enough requests to put up an epilogue. Did I spell epilogue correctly? ..I think I did. Yeah. I did. So, since Clary's too lazy to help me edit anything *hmph* I'm going to be all alone on this A/N...so, R&R! :D
Humans and Tigers (Epilogue)
By Bunnie and Clary (but mostly Bunnie. :( )
If the council doesn't stop us from seeing each other, Holly will surely be angry enough to cut off all contact with me...
Artemis sighed. I sure hope I don't end up in the ICU after this.
Artemis Fowl was currently wandering on the overpopulated streets of Haven. The citizens who spotted him shot terrified glances at him, then scurried away. Others were plain glaring...at least until they caught wind of Butler in the shadows.
While he was walking, the sound of a Neutrino's safety latch being removed was heard. D'Arvit.
"D'Arvit, Fowl!" Holly's voice screamed.
The surrounding fairies gathered around to watch. Well, until they again caught a glimpse of Butler in the background. When they did, they disappeared faster than Butler could get out of a fluffy pink miniskirt.
Holly approached him, fists clenched. "I thought we agreed that the Council would still be sane after the trial!"
"They are sane," replied Artemis smoothly. "Just terrified, that's all."
Holly face palmed. "I thought you had changed for the better, Mud Boy."
Artemis grinned. "You should know me better then, Holly."
Holly sighed. She should. She tried to change the subject. "Well, what do you think of the pixie?"
Artemis gave her a look. "Do I really need to answer that?"
Right on cue, said pixie approached Artemis and Holly. Speak of the devil.
I've come to deliver this piece of news." He grinned madly. "The Council has decided to prohibit any human contact with the People, and a mind-wipe on Fowl-" He didn't finish his statement, though, because at that precise moment the medic that was tending to him earlier shot him with a tranquilizer dart. "D'Arvit, pixie, first that and now this..." she mumbled. Something about escaping, an asylum and crazy people was mentioned. The pixie was then dragged by the foot to who-knows-where.
Holly & Artemis were staring in open mouthed horror. Actually, just Holly. Her mouth was shaped like a perfect 'O'. Artemis was just...well, raising an uncaring eyebrow. Nothing unusual.
"This is just your fault, Artemis, I know it..." she mumbled.
"We'll figure something out, Holly." Artemis replied.
Vinyaya approached them. "You two may proceed to the Council room, so-"
"You can't do this!" Holly cried. "This is just not fair!"
"Err, what is not fair Major Short?" Vinyaya asked, confused.
Courtesy at all times. "Well, Commander, the pixie intern said that-"
Vinyaya tapped her foot impatiently. "Is this some sort of game, Holly? Are you going to come or not?"
"The intern already gave us the results..."
"The intern? I thought he was in the loony ward?" She left to check.
A moment of silence passed. Then...
"Oh," mumbled Holly sheepishly.
"Eh, we should get going, Holls..." Eh? That wasn't even a word! What were the Fowls coming to?
"Right." They hurried back to the Council room.
"All in favor of separating these two raise your hand," Foaly said.
Cahartez raised his hand..
"...hello...ahem."
The other Council members didn't even hear him. One thought was all that filled their tiny brains: Fowl winked at us. N-n-not good...
"All against the Chairman..." Foaly coughed something that sounded suspiciously like 'the idiot'. "raise your hand!"
The other Council members raised their hands, trembling.
"Wha-but-I-I thought you guys liked vole curry?" spluttered Cahartez.
Artemis raised an eyebrow at him. "What was that, Chairman?"
"N-n-nothing, Fowl. Nothing that would matter to you, anyway."
Artemis just smirked slightly, aware of what Cahartez was talking about.
"W-w-well," one elf stuttered, "Fowl d-did save the fairy world..." his voice heightened to a squeak.
Holly resisted the urge to raise a fist in the air. "Yes! We did it, Arty!" she whispered gleefully.
Arty? Artemis thought. He was then smothered in a tight hug...
"Yes, uh, Holly..." Artemis mumbled awkwardly. He suddenly smiled. "Arty?"
Holly immediately jumped back. "Don't push your luck, Mud Boy," she warned him seriously.
Everyone laughed (some nervously). Everyone except Cahartez.
"I thought that you fairies liked the vole curry!"
Artemis shook his head. Amateurs, he thought.
Manipulating somebody isn't as simple as vole curry.
Right then, he smiled his vampire smile, unnoticed by all. Well, except, yet again, Cahartez.
Little did he know, that the next day he would have to be sent to therapy.
For 3 consecutive weeks.
The End!
A/N: So, how was it? *suddenly sobs* I feel so lonely without Clary making the A/N long! Waaaaah! T^T
People: *look at her weirdly*
Bunnie: Ahem. Anyway. So, how was it? *coughs* It doesn't help that I wasn't able to get a third party to check this, so... please review! ^_^
P.S. You know those virtual cookies I promised last time? Sorry to say, Arty incinerated them in the oven. Does anyone want me to send them in a virtual pouch?
Holly: *coughs covered in soot* Moral of the story: Never ever ever ask Artemis Fowl to cook. Ever.
