Butler woke up in a good mood. He had a feeling that today was going to be a pretty good day. He walked over to the bathroom across the hall to wash his face and change out of his pajamas. He walked down the hall towards the stairs and started the descent. Butler was in no hurry to make breakfast, so he took them one by one. Nearing the bottom, he noticed a black lump lying on the floor. At first he was confused, then he thought that he saw it breathing so he moved forward to get a closer look. His eyes widened as he saw what it truly was.

"Artemis?" He breathed. Butler ran towards him, worried. He shook Artemis gently, hoping that he was alright.

"Hmm?" Artemis mumbled.

"Artemis, what happened? Why are you sleeping on the floor?"

Artemis looked confused for a second, then put on his thinking face.

FLASHBACK

Artemis lie awake in his bed, staring at the clock on his bedside table. The clock read 1:46 A.M. Artemis could already tell this was going to be a pretty bad day. He stared at it for a few hours more until his stomach growled. He sighed and sat up. Even though his body protested, he stood and started towards his bedroom door. Now that he stood up, he was really tired, but still pretty hungry. His stomach growled again. He crept silently to the door and down the hall. He yawned as he neared the stairs. He was really tired now.

At about the third stair to the bottom, Artemis yawned and lost his footing. He muttered a muffled curse as his butt hit the floor. He lied there moaning for about thirty seconds. When the pain stopped, he decided that the floor wasn't as uncomfortable as it should be, and fell asleep.

END OF FLASHBACK

"I do not remember." Artemis lied.

Butler furrowed his brow. He stood up and extended his arm for Artemis. Artemis took it gratefully then went upstairs to his room.

Artemis plopped onto his bed wondering why he had lied to Butler about where he had slept last night. It wasn't right. He shouldn't have done it and he knew it. He didn't even know why he did. Just when he was thinking about going back downstairs and telling the truth, his fairy phone rang. He walked over to his desk and answered it.

"Hello, Holly," He said with a small smile.

"Hey, Artemis," She replied, looking troubled. "Listen, we found a lead as to where Opal is. We think she's somewhere in the Sahara Desert."

Artemis sighed. Why couldn't Opal just fall into a fiery pit and die?

"This means we are going to go there soon, doesn't it?" He asked already, knowing the answer.

Holly nodded.

Artemis opened his mouth to speak, but there was a knock at his door.

"Sorry, Holly. I've got to go."

There was another knock.

"Artemis?"

It was Butler.

"Yes, Butler?" He replied.

"It is time for breakfast"

A/N: Was that alright? Please tell me in a review! xD
