Sorry it has taken me soooo long to edit this, but when I read some articles about Mary Sue, I realised that I've created one *hits head against keyboard* Stupid me! And there are some major issues with the grammar and spelling too, so I will edit this step by step and continue it.

School has started on Monday, so I will not always find the time to edit BUT I am much better at writing in English, ergo I won't have to do it with Google translator, then correct the mistakes, then post it in here. It will be much faster this way.

Because I am only human, and they often make mistakes(dumb humans, I would rather be an elve), I would like you to draw my attention to the mistakes in grammar, spelling and plot holes, thank you very much.

DISCLAIMER: I do not own the Artemis Fowl bookseries or it's characters.

(Story takes place between TAI and TEC. Have fun and leave a review!)


Someone was knocking at the door. Artemis stood up from the couch and went into the hall. His mother already opened the door . The person at the door greeted Angeline Fowl polite. The pitch of her voice told Artemis that it was a girl.

Artemis rolled his eyes.

He faced some difficult days.

The whole thing had started a week ago when his parents had told him at breakfast about some relatives who would come to visit. Artemis had no further interest. When people came to visit, he usually only had to say hello and could go back in his room then. But not this time.

'We want you to spend a little time with your cousin. Make friends with her.', his father had explained.

'Dr. Po said, you should have more contact with kids your age.', said his mother, 'And Cecilia is a good start. We've talked to her mother. She says Cecilia now speaks English well enough to spend two weeks here, and she thinks it would be a very good exercise for her.'

Angeline paused.

'I´m sure you will get on well with each other. She seems to be an intelligent girl.'

Artemis scowled. Whenever he met girls his age, they had either been too busy with their mobile phones, or had whispered to her friends, then glanced over to him and giggled. He had really better things to do than try to explain these silly geese the difference between astronomy and astrology. To plan his next coup, for example.

So Artemis wasn't really in the mood for guests when his mother welcomed the girl. That didn't change when the girl turned around to him, although, he had to admit that she wasn't exactly ugly.

She had green, curious looking eyes and full lips. Her smile exposed braces on her teeth and the skin on her arms was much darker than the face, as if she'd been sitting in the sun, hiding behind a book. Her hair was brown and cut short, so it only reached her chin. She wasn't fat, but obviously not sporty at all and wearing a Wonder Woman t-shirt and shorts.

However, Artemis was slightly confused. She was pretty, but her face did not show the slightest trace of the fowl-typical facial features. It was unlikely that she was related to him.

A voice that spoke with a slight but noticeable German accent teared Artemis out of his thoughts.

'Hi, I'm Cecilia. You must be Artemis, nice to meet you. I've heard a lot about you.'

Cecilia stretched out her hand. Artemis shook it.

'Uh ... yeah, right. Artemis Fowl the Second. The pleasure is all mine.'

The girl frowned, surprised by the cold sound of Artemis's voice.

Angeline Fowl felt the tension in the air and quickly drove off with showing Cecilia the house. In passing, she shot her son an irritated glance. Artemis went over to his father.

'Father ... how exactly is Cecilia related to us?'

His father grinned. 'You noticed it? Yes, you're right, in fact, she is the stepdaughter of your uncle, my older brother. Her mother is from Germany and Cecilia is her daughter from her first marriage. She is very smart and has learned a lot from her mother, especially English. We thought it would be difficult to bring Cecilia here before she speaks English. How about showing her her room?'

The last one was obviously meant as an arrangement rather than a question, because Artemis Fowl senior pushed Artemis junior gently in Cecilia's direction.
