Disclaimer- If I owned the twins, Arty or Holly, do you think I would be writing fanfictions?
Authors note- Parts of this are based on an actual event a few years ago when I was eleven and stuck babysitting six young kids alone, two of which hated each other (although thankfully none of them were genii!).
"Holly, there's an emergency up here" Artemis Fowl the second said, trying to keep the panic out of his voice to no prevail.The female elf groaned. Just her luck- the one night she had off and the pathetic excuse for a mud whelp was in trouble.
"I'm getting up Fowl. Whats happening? A rougue troll or demon in your backyard? Or has your father gone missing again?"
"No Captain, worse."
"Spit it out you d'arviting mud man!" she screamed over the fairy communicator.
"My parents are at some fancy dinner party and will be there all night. Butler and Juliet went too." the pale faced teenager said.
"Yeah, so what? Never mind, don't say. I think I know- lil' Arty is afraid of staying home alone!"
"Holly! This isn't a joking matter! They've left me here to look after the twins!"
"Thats all? Okay mudboy, bye!" she said with a glint in her eyes..
Artemis stared at his hand were the communicator was "No! Holly! Please help me! I don't know anything about watching kids!"
But she had already hung up leaving everyone's favorite genius alone with two smart hyperactive toddlers.
Artemis slowly walked up the stairs to were the playroom was, and to his almost certain doom. Sure enough, within a second of opening the door, he was tackled by a little girl.
"ARTY! Johny's being mean! He won't share the laptop with me!" she shrieked knocking her elder brother to the ground. He winced and got up.
"Um...Johnathan, give Diana a turn on the laptop." Artemis winced. This was definetly not imposing enough.
His 4 year old brother looked at him with sullen blue eyes. It was remarkable how much the younger and older brother were alike- both were genii, both were pale, they had blue eyes, they had the same hair and they both were criminal masterminds.
"Brother, please let me have another ten minutes. I've almost successfully hacked into NASA's top secret files." See what I mean?
Diana wasn't to pleased about that.
"It isn't fair! You always favor him!" she cried when her older brother nodded yes. "I wanted to play games on it!"
"Diana.." Artemis said nervously "Sorry. Here, if you wait patiently I'll give you a bar of chocolate."
She sniffed "Promise?"
Artemis nodded, trying to look sincere "Promise."
He ran down the stairs again the get the promised candy bar, leaving the angry siblings alone with each other and quite a few projectiles.
It was sure to be a recipe for disaster.
