Loading ...The sequel of the exciting Never Say Never, comes Never Say I Do, where it continues the interrupted wedding ceremony of Holly Short and Artemis Fowl the Second.
1. A Blast to the Past
Previously, on Never Say Never…
“H-holly, I love you. I love you more than the world and the sky. I love you so much, I wish to bring you the sun and the moon. I want to see you every day and I want you to brighten up my days when it rains and snows. I want to grow old with you–”….Artemis inhauled a long, deep breath, “I want you, Holly. I love you. Will you marry me?”
…”I’ll marry you.”….
…Foaly continued on, “Do you, Artemis, take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife, to love and to cherish, to have and to hold; and do you promise, forsaking all others, to cleave to her and her alone, for as long as you both shall live?”
“I do,” Artemis smiled.
Foaly nodded and turned to Holly, “And do you, Holly, take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband, to love and to cherish, to have and to hold; and do you promise, forsaking all others, to cleave to him and to him alone, for as long as you both shall live?”
“I–”
Suddenly, the doors slammed open, the sound echoing in the room. All turned to the back of the room and in the light, was a figure….
….The figure took a few angry steps foward and growled, “You, my darling daughter, do not!”
Holly gasped and whispered one word: “Father.”
*Author’s Note: the “….” everywhere represent that I skipped some parts there to make this a brief summary of what happened in Never Say Never that is important here.*

that is totally wicked awesome sweetness. i am filled with new heart that my book will be published. you are now my idol (whom i do not know and have no idea which country you even live in but whatever). Thanx! luv ur stories! and i do have an idea. I think that night holly and harry get into a fight about what happens, and u find out everything becuase arty was listening at the door (the spying irish hottie!) and it turns out to be some tortured story and it also turns out they r both responsible for holly’s mom’s death! and then holly and her dad start to argue again and she stuns him cuz it gets too much (giant climax). arty bursts in then. she gets REALLY mad and slaps him across the face and flys out into the night, leaving a stunned artemis standing forlornly in the bedroom next to a stunned olfd elf, and wondering wht he did wrong.
August 15th, 2007 at 3:53 am
wht do uthink? should i try i different idea?
August 15th, 2007 at 4:10 am
I think you should go on with that idea, write a chapter because that’s what you’re supposed to do and send me it.
Who knows? It just might get published!
August 16th, 2007 at 3:01 am
I have something! Though not very good, and I don’t have email, but this is copyrighted! Everything in it so nobody touchie touchie!!!! GRAAAH! Oh well here it is! *grins*
20 Years…
Holly threw herself onto her bed. She was sick of her dad interrupting things. As she sat on the comforter sulking, she relived that night 20 years ago…
She was home alone again, trying to find something good to watch on T.V. Her mom was out shopping and her dad was God Knows Where. At this time, she still liked her dad however much it was possible to like a person like Harry Short. About 20 minutes, her mom walked through the door, several bags full of groceries hanging from her willowy fingers. Holly got up to help her just to have something to do.
“Where is your father?” she asked. Holly just shook her head. It was all the symbolism her mother needed. Holly saw a dangerous glint of her own inherited temper in her mother’s eye, and immediately took a step backwards.
“I’ll bet you he’s out spending every penny he’s earned on beer. When I get my hands on him…” Holly stopped paying attention then, and let her mother rant. Lately her father had been drinking a lot, and when he wasn’t, he was muttering to himself and scowling. He was either plotting something, or going mad from the potent drink he had been spending so much money on.
She didn’t exactly want to persecute her father for her mom’s benefit, but she almost felt like turning over to the council. He had long since lost his magic to the drink, and Holly wondered how long it was before he lost something even more terrible. These thoughts went through her head until her mother came and tapped her on the shoulder, knowing better than to shout for her, and told her it was time for bed.
Holly climbed up the stairs slowly, her thoughts moving almost as sluggishly. Her mother had already slipped into her room, and just then, Holly thought she heard the door creak open, but dismissed it just as quickly as she had noticed it. She started off towards her room, and then heard an unmistakable mumbling. Her Father was home! She heard a click, and she ducked into the shadows in the corner of the hall. Her father was stumbling up the stairs, a handgun in his hand. Holly gasped in horror, and ran out of the shadows. She grabbed her father’s arm, yelling. He threw her aside moaning, and she hit her head hard on the wall, and her vision sparkled with the impact for a few moments. She heard her mother’s voice, inquiring but muffled. Holly ran as fast as her legs would permit, and entered her mother’s room just in time to see her father shoot her mother with a precision blast of the handgun. She screamed once and became quiet.
Holly ran forward, and ripped the handgun from her father’s grasp, landing a blast ½ of an inch above his head. She threw the handgun down in a rage. Her father bent down and picked it up, leveling it at Holly.
“You breathe a word, and I’ll do the same to you, except I won’t miss.” He said.
Holly returned to herself in her room in Fowl Manor, her eyes wet with unshed tears. She had just remembered something about her father that she hadn’t noticed 20 years ago. His pupils had been ragged. He could’ve been mesmerized by Opal the whole time! This was all a plot to destroy her from the inside, and make her weak to Opal’s mind control. She had almost torn Holly from her father permanently.
Suddenly, she heard a knock on the door. It was Artemis.

August 16th, 2007 at 3:57 am
I really really really REALLY REALLY REALLY hope you like it. the way i figure i have about as much chance of winning this as Artemis would have at failing the ACT at age five. he would have aced it and we all know. now i feel stupid. it took me until i was twelve to ace it. dang. anyways, i hope you like.
The next day passed with both Holly and Harry at the ends of their ropes and close to breaking. Civility was low, and rooms were tense. Even so, Holly held her tongue until that night, when she burst into Harry’s room.
“Geez! Geez! Take it easy!” he said eyes staring straight at her drawn neutrino. “What’s your problem? Mud man finally decide to leave my daughter in peace?”
“Why you overgrown excuse for a fatherly figure!” holly screeched, still not lowering her weapon. “What do you think gives you the right to just barge in on my wedding and ruin it, live at my house, and drive me and my fiancé off the wall? Who do you think you are, my mother?” Holly stood there and the barrel of her gun shook a little. She seemed struck at what she had just said, and her eyes welled up as she thought of the mother she could barely remember. Harry sat on the bed, frozen, not knowing what to do or say.
All the yelling had awoken Artemis’s curiosity; so he had snuck down to see what all the fuss was about. He stopped outside of Harry’s bedroom door and peered through the crack, for the door was not properly shut. Inside was Holly standing with her neutrino drawn at Harry, who sat on the bed, unmoving. “After all, you know it is all your fault that she is gone!” At that point Artemis was going to enter the room and try to sort out the problem, but he paused at that statement. This could get interesting. He decided to wait outside a little longer.
“What do you mean my fault? You know what happened, and it is your fault!” said harry in a voice full of blame.
“NO! If you had believed me she wouldn’t be gone!”
“But you went out with her in the first place.”
“Yes, we did go on a walk, but the trail was twisty and she tripped on a rock and fell over the side of the cliff!” She held onto a root and told me to get you. I ran as fast as I could and…”
“Yeah, right. As fast as you could! Sure!”
“I got back and told you what happened, but you thought I was lying! You even hit me when I told you it was true! If you had listened she would still be here!”
“OH, so now it’s my fault!”
“YES! IT IS! Remember, I took you to the trail and there she was. Over the cliff and barely able to hang on. Remember? And then you went down after her, but when the root couldn’t hold you both, you let go! YOU LEYT GO OF HER! YOU KILLED HER!”
“I told you to throw me something, but you didn’t. YOU killed her. And besides, you seem to be forgetting something. The root broke and I fell too. So, there is no way that I killed her. It ‘s that her daughter was too big of a brat to help. To puny to get her hands dirty. Face it, you were willing to risk us so that you wouldn’t get hurt!”
At this, the tear that was fighting so hard against holly sprung forth. Harry laughed. Through her pain, holly took aim briefly, and fired.
The shot stunned Harry, and he slumped backwards on the bed.
As Holly fired Artemis burst into the room. “Holly, no, don’t…I didn’t know! Oh, I’m sorry! Holly…” His voice left him as she turned around, and, with all the hatred built up towards her father said, “You spying Irish git! I can’t believe I almost married you!” and with that she slapped a very surprised Artemis across the face, and open the throttle of her wings wide. She flew off into the night.
Artemis stood staring out the open window, a flush to the cheek she had slapped, and watched Holly fly off into the night as an uncomfortable and blame-placing breeze played across his face. “Where did I go wrong?”

Holly, your writing is great though I spy a few grammer errors. As you mentioned, it is copyrighted, but could I just fix a few caps here and there?
Artemis is my Man, I say you go ahead! Do your best!

August 16th, 2007 at 9:40 pm

MY CHAPTER FIVE!
“Holly, what the heck are you doing?”
“Pointing a Neutrino at your head debating whether or not to shoot you here and now.” Holly said, never pausing to think about what to say next.
“Your Mudboy fiance` wouldn’t want you to.” Harry sneered. Holly slapped his face with surprising force.
“Don’t” she said, her hand stinging,”Talk about my fiance` like that. You have no right to.”
“No, you’re right, I don’t.” Harry pulled on a pair of pants and a shirt. Holly kept the Nuetrino pointing at her fathers head.
“Put that down.”
“Not until I see you to the door. You’re leaving. Now.” Holly kept her voice steady.
“It’s not nice to kick your good ol’ pops out like that, my little Hazel-eyed princess.” Holly blushed.
“Don’t call me that. It reminds me-” Holly broke off.
“Of your mother. Don’t remind me of her. I felt good the day I killed her. So good.” Holly burst into tears, and fled down the hall toward her room. Artemis caught her arm on the way down the stairs.
“Holly?” he asked.
“Oh leave me along. LET GO OF ME!” she slapped Artemis. Dazed, he let go of her. Holly didn’t get far. Butler picked her up like a sack of potatoes.
“LET ME GO!” she shouted very loudly. Juliet burst through her bedroom door, starring at the spectical before her. Holly was squirming in Butler’s grip, and Artemis was holding a hand to his stinging face.
“Holly, what is the matter with you!?” Artemis starred at Holly. “Butler, put her down.” Butler cautiously lowered Holly to the floor.
“I hate my father.” said Holly plainly, as if she had said it a million times.

August 20th, 2007 at 2:54 am
i would like to apologize to everyone who had to suffer through my sick, tormented piece of supposed literature (I really prefer that kind of stuff in my writing). and shout out to all my friends: I TOLD YOU I COULDN’T WRITE! I would also like to comment on minervas piece. in a word: wonderful.
August 20th, 2007 at 4:44 pm
Thank you So much. I love it when people compliment my stories.
August 21st, 2007 at 3:08 am
yes. i hate it when i write. my friends act all incuraging. “you r great! i luv ur stories!” when really it takes them at least thirty seconds after they read it with blank eyes. they kind of have an “oh what am i gonna say abut THAT?” moment. oh well. sometimes one must know when one is not suited for things. im sticking to fanart.
August 21st, 2007 at 3:34 am
really, i am.
i’m just staying and talking for your enjoyment.
i dont NEED to read and write fanfiction.

August 27th, 2007 at 3:01 pm
maybe i wont stop completely… for the sake of my friends of course. and…for me also. i just couldn’t stop writing. i really tried, but i couldn’t. because, sometimes fanart just cant express the wonderous things you can do with words.
August 27th, 2007 at 5:50 pm
I’d also like to say thank you to drawingpup, for giving my piece second place. And why not, thanks to anyone who liked my story. Also, thanks Holly. If you hadn’t said anything I would have stopped. really

April 3rd, 2008 at 12:51 am
Drawingpup~
Where are you? I’ve been checking for three hundred million years. I love you’re writing! Update soon!
July 20th, 2008 at 9:28 pm
i really don’t like the holly/arty shipping, but i love the story. it doesn’t really have any plot, so you can put in the Angst catagory too.
i like all three of the stories that were entered, but minervaparadizo’s was the best
