Artemis surfed through the exchange student files he just finished hacking into.
"Mother wants a girl..." he mused. Butler stood behind him, looking over Artemis' shoulder.
Artemis spoke again, "Here, Jessica, thirteen years old, 'A' student, a near spotless record." Butler lifted an eyebrow.
"She cursed in fourth grade I believe. Harmless, if not vacant and boring. We shall see soon enough." Artemis typed something in and set her up to be the exchange student for the Fowl Manor. "I just hope she's the unobtrusive quiet type." Butler silently agreed.
Jessica was neither the quiet, nor the unobtrusive type, though she was relatively harmless. Packing her bags for her stint in Ireland, she was undoubtedly nervous.
"You probably need another sweater," cautioned her friend, Janet, from Jessica's bed.
"Meh, I don't want to pack another blessed thing. Are you packed yet?"
"Yep, it's supposed to be pretty warm in Greece."
"Greece, you're in heaven, aren't you mythology-girl?"
"Yeah, you're living in a manor!"
"With a certified genius and a body guard."
"And probably some of those tiny-hot-dog-on-a-stick things."
The girls burst-out laughing.
"What in the name of Gwahir the gigantamous chicken (tribute to Terachi Kaishku) brought that on?"
"No idea."
"It's time to go!" hollered Jessica's mom from downstairs. Jessica and Janet got-up to leave.
"Remember, don't drink the green beer and don't annoy the little people!" Janet playfully cried as Jessica boarded the plane half an hour later. Little did they know Jessica would do one of the things her playful friend had cautioned her against.
