This is my first ever story! Please no mean comments. I will accept constructive criticism though. I do not own Artemis Fowl or any of Eoin Colfer's wonderful ideas.

Fowl Manor

It was cold and balmy on the grounds of Fowl Manor but its young master, Artemis Fowl the II paid no attention to the weather. He was thinking about what had happened a couple months ago (2 months, 13 days, 11 hours, 23 minutes, and 37 seconds to be exact) when he had caught Captain Holly Short of the LEPrecon. He couldn't stop thinking about her and how she had been audacious enough to punch him in the face, even months later he still blushed scarlet from the memory. It was the first time anyone had ever been able to lay a finger on him and it was surprising when she had done it.

His voice he had noticed recently had cracked and he kept getting distracted by every pretty girl he saw and he wasted valuable time that could have been used for plotting his next scheme. No matter where he was or what he was doing at random times Captain Short's face would pop into his head. He was quite frustrated with himself on not controlling his own mind.

The young boy did not realize it but the path he was walking on just happened to be the one that he had walked to capture Captain Short. He wondered what she was doing right then and if she was thinking about him."D'arvit" he said to himself there I go again. He was getting tired of her popping into his head by now and started toward the house to do some research to see if he could do something about controlling his urges.

Back in his office and in front of his computer he pushed the intercom button and asked Butler to bring him up a cup of tea. Then he booted up the computer and logged on using his password: Aurum Potestas est (Gold is Power) and opened up the web and searched and looked up "how to control puberty". To his dismay there were only about 20 hits and they all said the same thing "There is no way to control puberty." He let out a small growl just as Butler stepped in the office to give his young master his cup of tea.

"What is wrong Artemis?" the large man asked.

"The Internet s saying that there is no way to control puberty. I however say that it is possible with the right technology." Said the raven-haired boy.

Butler had seen that look in his eyes many a time and knew only too well what it meant. Artemis was going to try and use fairy technology to try and control his puberty. Butler knew that it was a losing battle but knew better than to argue with Artemis. He remembered only too well the first and only time that he had said something like that he got his pay slashed 75% for 2 months. He hadn't been eager to have that happen in a hurry. He just let the boy talk and gave the boy his tea afterwards even though by the time he had finished talking it was stone cold. After he had finished his tea he whipped out his phone (made out of confiscated LEP helmets) and called up Holly and Foaly for a conference video chat.

"Holly speaking who is this? Said the fairy.

"It's Artemis."

Without knowing that she was on video chat just yet her face absolutely lit up like the Christmas tree they always put up every year (it had about 30,000 different strings of lights on it) and quickly started putting on some make-up and fixing her hair with the communicator between her shoulder and ear but gave the perfect viewing opportunity for Artemis to see the cause of the slight clatters, clunks and sounds of a comb hitting scalp. Fortunately when she started to change into something more interesting she had the screen of her communicator smashed against her bedspread. As an effect of this she didn't hear the laughter that burst from the phone as Foaly joined the call and he asked what was going on with Artemis and Butler looking as if they were about to fall over from the peals of girlish giggling coming from them and Butler informed him about the situation between gasping breaths while the boy behind him continued to howl with laughter in the background.

By the time Holly picked the phone back up the laughter had subsided and they were all neutral faced again. Holly took the phone from her next to ear to put him on chat and was surprised to see him, Butler and Foaly looking at her. She started and blushed until her face was redder than the tank top she was wearing with a pair of extremely skin tight jeans that was obvious she had just put on.

"Well, it's nice to know that you like to look good for me Ms. Short." Said Artemis with a tone that was obvious that he was trying not to dissolve into heaps of laughter.

"I was on video chat the entire time wasn't I?" said the madly blushing fairy.

"Yes you most definitely were and it was being recorded as well." Said Foaly in the same sort of tone that Artemis had used.

"D'arvit" she said to herself. Quickly recovering though she said "So what international incident has happened that is about to expose the existence of fairies has happened now Butler."

"None. Young Master Artemis wanted to ask you both a question." Said Butler

Foaly's eyebrows shot up at this. He evidently was suspicious of Fowl. He had good reason though after what Artemis had done he wasn't surprised. After Artemis had explained the plan Foaly and Holly had identical looks of disbelief on their faces.

"It can't be done Artemis. Obviously you are smart enough to realize that. Said Holly.

"It can though I just need to use your technology to find a way to create a concoction to stop these random urges." Said the boy with great superiority in his voice.

"Well at least I know that you think about me" said the fairy with a note of smugness in her voice.

"Whatever, back to the task at hand Holly will need to get the okay from you and Foaly to use the lab equipment. So may I use the labs for my project? Said Artemis in a slightly dismissive tone at the previous comment from the feisty little fairy.

"I say yes to it if only because it gives me time to spend with you." Said Holly with not a note of sarcasm.

"Sure." Said the centaur.

"Alright now can you guys be able to get me a visa? Said the boy with a slight note of glee in his voice."

"Yes I can Mud Boy. Said Foaly.
