A/N: This is my first fanfic, and it takes place right after the Time Paradox. Might contain spoilers. I don't even know the whole plot yet so just read and tell me what you think in a review.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything here. Eoin Colfer does.

Artemis and Ms. Koboi and Ms. Koboi

Chapter 1: Worries

Fowl Manor

Artemis Fowl II sighed in relief as he closed the door to his parents' bedroom. He had finally finished explaining to his mother everything that had gone on in Opal's head when she had been in it. The explaining had seemed to take hours, but it had actually only taken an hour or two. That seemed in possible, being that Artemis had told his mother everything, the whole truth, starting from when abducted Holly all the way until when he had gotten back from Limbo. He was ashamed of himself, having to tell his mother all the horrible things he had done, but she deserved the truth.

Unlike Holly, he thought.

Part of him wanted his mother to know everything that had happened to him, but the other half of his brain was worried about what Holly might think about Angeline Fowl knowing everything about the fairies. He had to be very careful with their friendship since he had lied to her before they went back in time to rescue JayJay, the lemur.

Artemis sighed again. No point in worrying about that now. He went straight to his room to shower and write some emails. After all, he'd just gotten back from the time stream and flying that plane to lure Opal away from his family, and he was filthy.

Haven Spas

Holly Short let her body sink into the hot bubbling water, rubbing her sore muscles. The LEP had failed to capture Past Opal Koboi, but Present Opal was still imprisoned. Commander Trouble Kelp had told Holly to just go take a few days of leave and they can sort this mess out later. Now she was at the spa with Foaly's wife, Caballine, trying to enjoy herself but constantly worrying about the Opal Kobois. After this, she was planning on calling up her good old friend Artemis Fowl to say hi and tell him what was going on.

"That's too bad about Opal," said Caballine.

Holly sighed. "Yea, but maybe Artemis can help us with it. We don't want either Opal running around the world."

Caballine grinned. "I bet he'd love to help, especially if you'll be helping too."

Holly frowned. Her centaur friend was sort of like Foaly. She really knew how to annoy a person. Maybe it was rubbing off on her. She'd have to have a talk with Foaly later.

"Well, I guess I should get going now." Caballine said. "I have to make dinner for my paranoid genius."

"Bye Caballine."

"See you Holly."

Fowl Manor

Artemis stepped out of his steaming bathroom and went straight to his laptop. He wrote to Minerva, who was in fact a good friend of his, and to Juliet, who was good chums with Minerva. Then his communicator ring rung. (How ironic).

End of Chapter 1

A/N: I know, it's a tad short, but the next one will be longer, hopefully. I'll try to post the next chapter very soon. This is my first story, so please review! I don't own the Artemis Fowl books, so I probably have some facts wrong, so I'd be happy if you corrected me.

I've never had a review before! (hint, hint)
