All characters belong to Eoin Colfer. May be a little bit out of character… but it’s one of my best I think…the manga has something to do with it this time!

 Artemis Fowl was reading manga for the first time. He though that Holly looked stangely like Captain Holly Short. She had cropped hair, though the girl in the books was black instead of red. She had both the same colored eyes, but they were brown with specks of blue. She was also very, very short. Artemis soon found himself not reading but staring at the character, daydreaming. He thought all about Holly, the strange backwards book completely forgotten. It fell out of his hands and off the bed. He laughed at his foolishness and layed his head against the headboard of his bed. He sighed and went back to daydreaming of Holly. He was just about to kiss her when there was a tap on the window, then a sneeze. He looked over to see Captain Holly Short herself. She had a red nose, and a pink blush on her cheeks. She sneezed and looked around at the snowy land of Dublin. Her eyes had bruise like bags under them.

      Artemis went to open the window. He almost tripped over the manga book he forgot and Holly laughed. He picked it up and tossed it on the bed.

      He opened the window, right when Holly sneezed. Artemis closed his eyes as the snot went over his eyelids. Holly laughed while Artemis grimaced. He went to the bathroom as Holly flew in. She sneezed a few more times as he was in the bathroom. When he came back out, he found Holly reading the manga book that he dropped. She quickly closed it as he walked in.

      “Hey Artemis,” Holly started, “How come that manga book was on the floor? You’re usually a very neat person.” She asked as Artemis blushed. He started fiddling with his thumbs.

      “Well,” His face was flaming now, “I kind of dropped it because I was deep in thought…” He trailed off.

      Holly smiled and said, “Well, what were you thinking about?” She asked, staring directly into his eyes.He looked away, but said nothing. “I kind of think that the girl here,” She took the book and opened it. She pointed to the girl that looked like herself,” looks like me.” She finished, closing the book. Artemis blushed harder, but was still quiet. He looked down then back up. He stared at her.

      “I was thinking about you.” He said, calculating how stalker-ish this next part would sound.”Everytihng about you. From your red hair, to your green clad toes.” He said, very embarresed. He even knew of the color of nailpolish on her toenails! I’m so creepy, he though to himself. To his surprise, Holly laughed.

      “Very nice Arty. You should probably know, I do that a lot too.” She said, smiling broadly. He smiled and walked over to her. The book that was tucked neatly under the pillow rolled onto the floor, because Holly leaned back a little bit. He picked her up and sat her down beside him, kicking the book to the side. He looked into the eyes that matched his. They were sparkling and big, like the character’s in the book. He laughed and hugged her.

”I love you.” He said, smiling happily.

“I love you too!” She smiled, kissing him hard, making him flop onto his back on the bed.

“Well that was…interesting?” Butler said from the doorway, his eyes very wide. “I was coming to check on Master Fowl, and came to this. I’m sorry to interrupt.” He said walking away.

    Artemis and Holly laughed until their faces were red and tears were streaming down their faces. They managed to fall onto each other, holding their sides.

    “Thanks Butler!” They both yelled. They laughed again, and then Artemis thought.

      “Holly, why in the world did you come here?” Artemis asked, his eyebrows knitted together.

      “Well, I was sick, and wanted to see what you were up to. Sorry to say it, but I really wanted to make you ill.” She said, just as Artemis sneezed on her face.

     “Ha! That, my dear Holly, is what you call karma!” Artemis laughed, rolling around, only to be shut up by a punch from Holly.

The End!
