What if Artemis was as smart as me?

Written on December 10th, 2008 by arty_and_holly_4ever

Story Details

Basically, this is during TTP.  This is what he SHOULD have said to Holly about her not giving his mother the disease. 

Artemis looked at the elf.  He hated lying to her.  He needed to tell her. Tell her the truth.  But his intellect told him that if he did, she would hate him.  Then where would he be?  Stuck in the past with no friends?  He couldn’t have that.  He was just starting to get on Holly’s good side again.  So no, he would tell a little white lie.

“Holly, I’ve been thinking.  I don’t this you gave mother this disease.  If you had, Butler would have gotten it first.”  Artemis told the elf.

Holly looked at him thoughtfully, “You know what, you may be right.  But then, the question is, Who Did?”

Artemis looked down at the ground as he answered, “I think I did.”

    YES! I am glad you decided to think Arty! This makes Holly
    1: feel srry for you
    2: your more trustworthy
    3: She is happy with you.
    4: she never has to get mad at you!

    Most likely, she will still help! DUH! great job! (kinda short) But imagine how much the book would’ve changed if he HADNT lied! :mrgreen:

  2. MMK Says:

    It’s an interesting idea- what if Artemis had told the truth? I think you should expand on it, though. Like, what was Holly’s reaction? Not to mention Foaly’s. You should really include what happened after he said it.

    What you’ve got is pretty good, though, considering it’s so short.

    Two words: THANK YOU!
    Those were my exact thoughts after reading TTP. The only bad thing would be if she found out about how he just originally lied to her then she is able to guess the second lie.
    In some ways, it’s better he just came straight out. It proves he is somewhat loyal. Manipulative. But loyal nonetheless.
    This was one of the first things on my mind, nice, very nice…

    I think you’re supposed to do capital letter for the P, hitsu. Oh, and the editors will come and get you for quadruple commenting. *sirens ring* here they come.

    Anyway, this is a rly great what if. I loved it. Five stars!
