Disclaimers~ I don't own anything, so don't sue! I own only the idea...

Authoress note~ I just got back from a Rockapella concert, and do any of you know Rockapella? They're great! So anyway, before the concert, we're shopping around town, and I met all of the guys in a toy store! We chatted, and I got autographs. If u know them, then tell me!

Also, If you want to be a character in it, tell me, and I'll add you!

So, anyway, I just had this idea, so lemme know what you think. By the way, this may seem a little OOC, but that's okay, it's kind of supposed to be! I know this is an unlikely happening, but it would be funny if it did.

This is also going to have a lot of A/B touching moments, just thought I'd warn you!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

No way! This could not be happening! Artemis was completely stunned, and he could barely speak.

To understand why, you must first go back in time, about 10 minutes ago... Shall we?

~*~* 10 minutes before present time*~*~

"Honey, we've got some... uh... news, it's big news." Angeline choked out softly between light tears trickling down her elegantly framed face.

"Yes." Artemis answered in monotone, assuming that he had just been kicked out of school again. He was currently attending a very prestigious school, so his mother had a right to be upset, but she had never gotten this upset before...

"Son, we've made a very," Artemis sr. paused a moment, as if looking for the right words, "important decision, and it will affect you a lot."

"And what might that be?" Artemis jr. asked, still not impressed, or worried a bit. They always got so emotional over nothing!

Butler came in, and stood behind then, just solemnly closing his eyes for a moment, then asked softly, " Are you telling him?"

"Yes... Arty, dear. Your father and I have decided to get," She sobbed for a moment, before regaining composure, and then continued, " A divorce."

Artemis tried very hard not to let on that he was shocked, but even he stirred, his mind swirling from the overload. Finally, he decided that he would be able to speak again, so he did, "I understand, if the chemistry was not there, don't force it. If you don't mind, though I would prefer to do my homework alone."

"Oh, well... Okay, then." Angeline drew in a sharp intake of breath, as though she would explode into all out tears any moment, though she restrained herself, and simply turned on her heel, and glided out of the study.

"I'm sorry Artemis, but it had to happen. I'll leave you to yourself." Butler turned around, and started towards the door, when Artemis called after him, " No. Butler, you should stay... Please."

"I'll just go, then." Artemis the first whispered to his son, giving an affectionate smile, and then leaving.

"You wanted me to stay?" Butler asked, unsure of Artemis' reasoning behind that.

"Yes Butler. I need you to stay."

"Why?"

"Because, sometimes, even people like me need friends, and someone to stand by them. Sometimes, you just need a shoulder to cry on, you know?" Artemis smiled, his sapphire blue eyes darting around the room, to keep tears from welling up in them.

"Well, mine is always available." Butler answered sympathetically.

I thought I'd stop here, and see if people like it before bothering to go on... Do you like the A/B thing? Is the plot good? (it'll have more plot later) Should I continue? I really need reviews!

If you review, and you like it, then I'll keep going, and the chapters will be much longer! Tata!
