Chapter 1 Artemis
Artemis Fowl was bored. Now normally, that's not a word to describe Artemis. After all, he was the first adolescent to discover the People, and possibly the first human , and later had gone on several adventures with his butler, Butler, his fairy allies, such as Mulch Diggums and Holly Short, saving the world countless times, and traveling through time with a demon. And along with his magical exploits, he has also sold the pyramids, forged and auctioned the lost diaries of Leonardo Da Vinci, and stole the mythical painting, the fairy thief, from one of the most secure vaults in the world. However, now that there were no dastardly crimes to scheme, and no world saving to be done, Artemis Fowl II sat in his office, trying to stop Myles, his younger sibling, from using his latest prototype hair gel on him, the key word there being "trying." Myles's twin brother, Beckett, was trying to tie Artemis to the chair in his office, while Juliet Butler, the twin's caretaker, tried to pry Myles from the door jamb with one arm, with a bottle of his new hair gel in the other arm. "No!" Myles cried. "I need a test subject for my hair gel! Beckett, help me!" Juliet tried in vain to pry him off, but to no avail. Normally, this would be an amazingly easy task for Juliet, for she had just received her blue diamond tattoo, but she didn't want to injure Myles, so she had to do it the old fashioned way. Beckett then stopped trying to tie Artemis up, which gave Artemis the chance to scramble up from the chair and run out the door. While running, he heard a yell, a crash, and Juliet's voice screaming "BECKEEEEEEEETT!" as Myles and Beckett laughed hysterically. Butler strolled in through the door, just coming back from the Fowl dojo and drenched in sweat. Artemis' parents were on vacation in Cancun, so, unlike usual, they didn't come running. Butler nodded calmly at the door to the office. "New hair gel formula?" Butler asked. Artemis nodded. "And apparently, according to Myles, this time, it wouldn't harden like dwarf spittle into a shell and turn my hair pink, but I won't take any chances." Butler nodded, thankful, and not for the first time, that he was clean shaven and bald. "Butler and Artemis heard a drawn-out shriek from Juliet, which was then accompanied by crying, no doubt from the twins. Artemis and Butler quickly jogged up to the room, and couldn't believe what they saw. Juliet was on the ground, her hair looking like a misshapen lump of pottery, right down to the brown coloring. She was nursing a forearm covered in hives, gritting her teeth. Unfortunately, it seemed whatever happened to Juliet seemed to have happened to Beckett, who was bawling and rolling around on the floor, and his neck was an angry shade of red. Myles was on the floor too, and even though he didn't have any hives, he had a bloody nose in its place. Butler ran to Juliet. "What happened?" He asked, trying to concentrate on Juliet's arm, and not head. "The spray," she gasped through gritted teeth. Butler nodded. No other explanation required. The "spray" Juliet was referring to is a chemical Myles himself created as a self-defense if he were ever attacked, which was highly likely, because of Artemis' tendency to create enemies left and right. The spray was a blue liquid kept in a vial about the size of Myles' index finger, and was, in all principal, was just a modified version of pepper spray. Unfortunately, Myles made a few errors in his formula when he first created the spray, and so instead of injuring the target immediately, it instead turned the A.O.E bright red, and making the target develop nasty hives. They disappeared after a week or so, but have a violent reaction if they come in contact with water. It's very effective long term, but for immediate contact, it's useless. However, when Myles first learned about this (he had accidently used it on his mother, who was NOT happy at the time), he quickly adapted and also kept a vial of the same size filled with water. While Butler assisted his sister, Artemis propped up Beckett and Myles against the wall and got the first aid kit he always kept on the top shelf. He first examined Myles, because a bloody nose, he knew how to fix. Artemis sighed with relief. "Thankfully, it's not broken," he told Myles, who still had tears streaming down his face. "However, you are going to have a nasty bruise for a while, and that, you will have to explain to Mother and Father when they arrive back home in a week." Myles nodded as Artemis gave him a tissue, then winced. Artemis then moved on to Beckett, who had more serious injuries. "Myles," he said, "Have you developed an antidote for the spray yet?" Myles nodded. "But I only have enough on hand for one person, so either Juliet or the simple-toon will have to skip on the formula until I make more." Artemis bit his lip. "Butler," he said, "Myles says he only has enough for one person." Butler was about to reply when Juliet interrupted and said, "I'll skip. I can wait, and besides, I'm the twins official Butler, I'm SUPPOSED to wait. Butler nodded, patting his sister's shoulder. "Spoken like a true body guard." Myles stood up, holding his nose. "I shall get the antidote," he said, and ran out of his room to his laboratory. Artemis sighed. "I have a feeling we have a long week ahead of us, old friend," he said, and even though he didn't know it,, he was right, in more ways than one.
