Hey readers! Here's a new story I'm coauthoring with my pal Clover Arcondas, about Artemis Fowl. If I have a say, it will have ArtemisxHolly. And maybe AFCharacterxOC. Depends. So, enjoy the story!

I yawn, swinging my legs over the side of the bed. Monday. Oh joy.

My brothers race around like the crazed maniacs they are, happy that they don't have school till nine. I envy elementary school kids.

My mom tells me I have to eat breakfast, and I shove some cereal in my mouth before racing out the door to school.

When I get there, I go to my locker. Cracking open the door, I reach inside and pull out the new Artemis Fowl book. My friend will be SO HAPPY!

"Ivy!" I hear a voice yell. Turning around, I see my sister Clover racing toward me.

"Do you have the new book?" She asks, hyperventilating. I laugh.

"Yeah, I do." She practically pounces on me to grab it. I laugh.

Our other sisters, Lily and Violet, walk in. Lily immediately envelopes us in a hug.

Okay, you're probably wondering how I have so many sisters, but they don't live with me. We are orphans, and our adoptive parents couldn't take all of us. So, I live with my two adopted brothers, Bob and Jake, Clover lives with her sis Rose, and Lily and Violet have too many siblings to count.

I originally read the AF series, then got Clover hooked. Lily and Violet haven't read them.

I hug Lily and sideways hug Violet. Lily is basically the nicest person I've ever met, with Clover a close second. They're twins. Violet is my twin.

We all find our seats and slide into them just as the teacher, , walks in. She's leading two students.

"Class, this is Artemis Fowl and Holly Short. They will be joining our class."

I elbow Clover. In Gnommish, I write her a note: Did you hear that?

I have to keep putting the actual letters instead of the symbols, I'm not the best at codes/symbols. She writes back, in perfect Gnommish of course: For real? They can't actually be here... Right?

But they sure fit the description. Right down to the mismatched eyes.

Holly is assigned to sit next to me. I mumble a hi and examine her.

Nut brown skin, very short, auburn crew cut... All fits. Suddenly, I notice that she seems to be examining me! Taking in my black layered shoulder length hair. Scrutinizing my green eyes. Looking at my tan skin. Examining my rather short height. I consider being offended, but I did just do the exact same thing.

Artemis is sitting next to Clover, and he looks just like I imagined. Black scruffy hair, tall, scrawny, mismatched eyes. He seems to be looking at Clover, taking in her long blonde hair and brown-green eyes. She's only a little taller than me.

I see him interchanging looks and glances with Holly. Almost like they're having a private conversation through looks and gestures. Then I realize they're writing on their hands. Gnommish, but I manage to read it.

Holly: They seem okay.

Artemis: Don't jump to conclusions, they could be spies.

Holly: You're as paranoid as Foaly.

Artemis: Insults? Seriously?

Holly: Yep. Hey, they seem to be best friends. And the blonde is holding an Artemis Fowl book.

Artemis: Hey is for horses. Yep isn't even a word.

Holly: Well, excuse me! Did you even hear what I said?

Artemis: Yes, and it isn't good. We need to report this to Foaly. And Trouble.

Holly: Ugh, whatever. I can't believe you talked me into coming to a school for mud-kids.

Artemis: Let's just finish this case.

I reel in astonishnent. They think we know too much about the LEP! They want to mind-wash us!

At lunch, I tell Clover everything I've heard/read. She gets one of those mischevious grins I know too well, then says those fatal words.

"We need a plan."
