Author's note: This is my first time making an Artemis Fowl and sending it here. . I hope you all really like it I worked had making each character sound exactly as they do in the books. I'd really like comments! I want to know that people at least read my story. And if you do please don't leave me hanging I'd like to know what you think and maybe even make some new friends in this comminuty!
Okay, this is taking place after the Atlantis Complex, not the last guardian. If I had any information wrong please tell me!
Butler rebuked Artemis fowl the second several times for "examining" his younger brothers. Which, to the young genius, was staring at them intently during their long vacation in the Maldives Island.
"This is a vacation Artemis. As physically painful it must be for you to, for once, take a break from thinking, you can at least stop staring at your little brothers like you're already ready to conduct an elaborate experiment on them." Butler warned.
Artemis looked up at his oldest friend, the man that in more than one occasion saved his life and was by his side during every magical, fairy related mishap he has come across. But the youth immediately was taken back by what he was currently wearing. He's never seen Butler without his black suit, save for one occasion where he unfortunately was at the wrong place at the wrong time, seeing his body guard walk out of the bathroom in nothing but his boxers. Artemis was never a self conscious person, finding his own looks to be pleasing enough where females would give him a second glance when they walked by him. But seeing Butler's bands of muscles ripple in every movement he made, made the boy want to drink some protein shakes and perhaps find a scientific way to enhance his own physical strength and appearance without the damaging affects of backne and shrinking family jewels. Artemis shook his head, sometimes finding his train of thought wandering, and focused on the problem before him. His friend usually sported a black suit, but now opted for a colorful Hawaiian shirt. Painfully colorful. "My God, I can feel my retinas burning." Artemis winced, "The colors don't even compliment each other, and the flowers scattered around in random order are dizzying to say the least." Artemis rubbed his closed eyes.
"Haha. You've grown a sense of humor now." Butler said, crossing his arms. "Juliet made me wear it..." He didn't need to say more. Artemis was unfortunate enough to also be caught in Juliet's 'fashionista' phase. He'd rather she was back in her Jade Princess wrestling phase. That was much less painful. There were several occasions where Juliet forced Artemis to dress up for her sake. And it was even more embarrassing that she took pictures afterward, and further insulted him by saying that his lanky, yes, LANKY body type fit being a male model very well.
"You can be a Calvin Klein model!" He remembered Juliet muse as she snapped another picture of Artemis in a ridiculous outfit of her own design.
Artemis figured that his absolute lack of physical strength made it easy for Juliet to push him into his outfits, but at least Butler, whose mere arm is double the size of his little sister, could at least put up a fight. But it seems that Butler was putty in her hands.
"How unfortunate..." Artemis murmured, loosening his tie a bit. He refused to wear shorts or a Hawaiian shirt like Butler, but in fact, wore the same clothes he wears wherever he goes. But his suits were not too keen in the tropical weather. He took off his suit jacket, folding it in his arm, leaving him with his loosened tie and long sleeved white buttoned up shirt. He took off his cuff links and rolled his sleeve up to his elbow. "And how dare you assume that I wish to experiment on my brothers. I was just simply observing the way that they spoke to each other. Seeing how children's minds develop at their age." He reasoned.
"Are you going to write a book for parents on how their children's minds work? I'm sure they'd be flying off of the shelves." Butler joked, cracking a smile at Artemis's obvious annoyance.
"No... But I suppose I can write something about siblings. How a younger female child can manipulate an older brother into doing whatever she wishes, maybe forcing him to wear tacky, loud Hawaiian shirts for example. I'll call it the Butler syndrome." Artemis retaliated, looking up at his giant man servant. Butler gave him a look that said, 'Too far', and the young man sighed. "I'm sorry old friend... I just can't relax. I find it very hard to. And this damn hot weather is making my temper worse."
"You WOULD be complaining about the weather." Butler said, looking out into the crystal blue waters, the wind rustling through the palm trees. Not too far away he can see Juliet playing with Myles and Beckett, creating castles in the sand. Right now they were in a nice cabana, where they served drinks, and offered the clients a beautiful view of the beach. "It's beautiful here."
"I'm glad you think so." Artemis mused. Butler looked down at him, and gave him an uncharacteristic pat on the back.
"You should try to act more your age..." His friend said, which made Artemis a bit mad.
"Such keen observation skills Butler, are you really suggesting that 19 year old boys aren't supposed to HATE tropical weather accompanied by his family and being in one of the most beautiful and expensive resorts in the world?" Artemis asked him, sarcasm dripping from his words. Butler gave him a look, which made the young heir rub his eyes again. "I know I know... Too mean... I'm sorry..." He sighed, "You go ahead and find my parents. I'm sure they are hiking in the mountains somewhere. Tell them I'll be at out suite in time for the pig roasting festival." He said.
Butler smiled, and patted him in the back again. "That's the spirit." He said, before walking off, almost having a skip in his step. Artemis watched as his body guard walked away so happy, then to Beckett an Myles and Juliet, who seemed to be having a blast. He lied. He wasn't examining the way they spoke to each other, how could he, they were so far he couldn't even hear what they were saying, and he didn't want to bother lip reading, seeing as they were still at that young age where farts and worms were still a main factor in their conversations. He was observing them to see how they are so happy... How they find such joy in little things such as building an unsound structure made out of sand and ocean water. And even Juliet, how she finds happiness just watching these two, and stepping in when she needed to. Even a genius like Artemis hasn't figured it out yet, or at least he hasn't figured out a way where he can apply it himself.
He went up to the bar, and being of legal age he ordered a drink. Perhaps a cold alcoholic beverage can soothe his frustrations as well as beat the heat. He looked around him, as he plucked the ridiculous mini umbrella from his glass and tossed it in the garbage by the bar. He sat at a table, looking out into the ocean. When he found that the light reflecting from waves hurt his eyes he turned and faced the people there to drink as well.
That's when he saw her.
A girl, by Artemis's estimates around 5'3, even though she's sitting down and slouching a bit his estimated proportions should still be correct. She had soft black hair, not raven like like his. In the sunlight, it looked to be dark brown and wavy, possibly from coming out of the salt water and drying in the sun naturally. He only saw her side profile as she played with a pink mini umbrella she had in her drink. She was pretty... But he's definitely seen more beautiful women. She turned her head for a brief moment and he got to examine her more clear, delicate features, a small nose, a gentle jawline, a heart shaped face, a tanned complexion, soft light red lips... Artemis had to shake his head again. He was a teenage boy, he knew that, he wasn't going to deny that on occasion he'd find himself staring at a pretty girl's legs, breasts, and lips. He was about to turn away, possibly banking her in one of the 10 most beautiful girls he's ever seen, a jewel from a quick vacation in the Maldives and be done with his perverted staring, but he found something interesting. She wasn't staring out into the ocean, dazzled by its beauty like most tourists were, and he didn't peg her for a snobby wealthy girl that's been in Maldives before and lost its interest in it. She was staring at a couple not too far away from her. Artemis followed her eyes to a a couple that sat a few tables away from her, an old man with a beautiful blonde haired young woman in a red bikini. He looked back at the nameless black haired beauty to examine her expression. She looked pensive, twirling the mini umbrella between her thumb and forefinger, like she was calculating something.
Artemis took a sip of his bitter, sweet drink and mulled it over. Perhaps she is the daughter of the old man, angry at her father's new mistress? Maybe she is a jilted ex lover, wealthy older men seem to be a magnet to beautiful gold diggers. Suddenly, the couple kissed, and the girl smirked. And Artemis got a good look at her lips as she mouthed the word, "Succubus..."
