ON WITH THE SHOW


"Hey, Myles." Beckett continued to pester his brother who was working in their older brothers lab, doing complicated experiments that made his head spin. "Heyyy; Heyyyyyyyyyyy-"

"What?" he snapped, not looking away from his project as he continued and lent his ear to what his annoying brother had to say.

"What do you think Artemis was like?" the boy asked, causing the other to stop dead in his tracks and put everything down.

"Go ask Mom or Dad." he said, resting his hands at shoulder width on the table, thinking the very same thing.

"But they never give me a straight answer!" Beckett complained, spinning around in the swivel chair he had planted himself in when he entered. Myles sat down on the bench behind him and turned, looking at his brother.

Beckett was a jock at school. He had many friends and was on a few sports teams. As far as they knew, their elder brother, Artemis Fowl II had detested sports. They were told this every time someone brought up Beckett's sports.

Their parents had gone to every game Beckett had ever participated in and every science fair or project presentation Myles had done. They were constantly in the company of their parents, who at the moment were down stairs, and Butler had told them it was because when Artemis was being raised, they were never around and they wanted to change that with Myles and Beckett.

As you can guess, Myles took after their brother. He was a "nerd" in Beckett's terminology and "smarter than Beckett" in his words as a young child. They were eleven years old, and they had accomplished much for children. Beckett had won almost as many awards that Artemis had as an eleven-year-old and Beckett had led his many different teams to victory against anyone they went up against. Even a team of high school seniors that had been bullying Myles on his bus ride home from school.

"I can't say much about him." Myles said after a long period of time. "I can only make conclusions and observations from the different pictures Mom and Dad have of him. And most of those were taken by Butler." He looked out the window in frustration. "Maybe they are false, our parents weren't exactly the same as they are now with him. From what I've heard, they weren't even around for most of his greatest accomplishments."

Beckett had gotten a melancholy look on his face while listening to Myles speech. He too had heard about his brothers sad upbringing, but he had also heard some stories from Butler about what his brother had done and various adventures that weren't publicized. He had eavesdropped when Butler had told their parents about the fairies and Haven, and immediately reported his findings to Myles who hadn't believed a word of it. He waved it off as "Beckett nonsense" and continued whatever he had been doing before.

"Butler said he almost fell off the roof of a train before." Beckett mumbled, getting a reaction from Myles.

"What would he be doing on the roof of a train?" he asked exasperatedly, thinking it was another one of Beckett's ridiculous stories.

"Just hear me out this time okay?" Beckett asked, looking Myles straight in the eye. Myles rolled his eyes in return and nodded at him to continue. "Now, if we just pretend that what Butler said to Mom and Dad was true, then that would mean that our brother is trapped somewhere, constantly shifting locations or on a demon island. Myles snorted, getting a look from Beckett like 'you said you would hear me out.' He waved his hand at his brother to continue. "So, that means," Beckett said, pausing for suspense, "He is doing everything he can to get back."

Myles' eyes widened slightly as he thought about it. If their brother were actually trapped somewhere, that would explain why the best of the best couldn't find him and why Butler was constantly mumbling about waiting and saying things like 'When are you coming back? You promised.' when he thought he was alone. But, the stories were so preposterous that he had never really given them any thought.

"Maybe." he mumbled, looking out the window once more and getting a shocked expression from Beckett. Was he really thinking about it? "However." he said, interrupting Beckett's thoughts, "That would mean that we still have to wait until he comes back to meet him." Beckett's expression fell and he looked at the floor.

"I'll wait." he said, getting a look from Myles. "I really want to meet him, so i'll wait for him to come back. Myles nodded in agreement and they stayed there for a while, thinking about what the first thing they would say to him would be.

What the two didn't know was that there was a sneaky Butler listening to their conversation, smiling to himself and asking the universe when Artemis would be back. He shut the door from where he had opened it and went back to his room.

~meanwhile

Artemis huffed as he and Holly dragged No.1 with them from a crater in the ground. They had landed in Ireland, luckily, but they didn't know what to do now. Qwan, followed by his old apprentice came out from the crater behind them and congratulated Holly for getting them there in one piece and asked what year it was, although they had no idea.

Looking around, Artemis realized that it was night time and he could see the lights of a house nearby. He pointed it out and Holly nodded, telling the others that they would go ask them for help. The stumbled around in the darkness, their injuries slowing them down and exhaustion making them dizzy.

They made it past the front gate easily, raising the carefully planted silent alarm that woke Butler immediately. They made it to the door just as Butler swung it open, armed and ready to shoot. He faltered when he saw who it was and yelled when Artemis collapsed with Holly right behind him. Qwan, No.1, and his apprentice made it to a couch before falling into a deep sleep. Butler smiled at them and silent tears traced his face. Artemis was back.
