A/N okay… this story is a result of a challenge from Ms. Random. As a result it is dedicated to her. It is set during Artemis, Holly, Butler and Mulches first day in the Amazon (not in captivity) so enjoy.
Artemis and the Toilet Pot
It was a wet day in the Amazon. They had all set up camp because mulch said he needed to 'get underground or I'll burst!', and so they had stopped. Unfortunately the nutritional meal they had eaten had been full of fibre. What does fibre do? That's why they had got out the portable toilet pot, one of Foaly's greatest inventions. It took all the waste and teleported it to a volcano in Hawaii. Unfortunately the rain had shorted out its circuits and Holly had told Artemis to empty it. He didn't want to disappoint so here he was. Looking down into….
Oh gods no! Don't look down, whatever you do!
He found a suitable handy tree and went back to get the pot.
It's not there! The pot was missing. He looked desperately around but there was no sign of it except for a small trail of dirt. Artemis followed the trail, it lead through a big bush, so Artemis pushed his way through to find…a big pit of mud, which he fell straight into.
Dirty and annoyed Artemis pulled himself out of the mud, and looked down at his muddy armour. Cursing he drew the pistol Holly had given him and followed the slightly wider mud trail.
He followed it to a river, and saw that it continued on the other side, Artemis didn't stop to think about how mud and gone through the river without being washed off, Holly was counting on him after all.
He waded in, up to his armpits and stepped on a slippery stone; he went under head-first but fought the river and pulled himself free from its ice grip. He straightened up and continued to wade through the water until he reached the other side. He was now no longer muddy, but soaking wet.
He followed the trail further and found himself in a clearing. He cautiously crept around it, sticking to the edges. When he neared the other side he heard THE sounds.
"oooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"
What sort of evil creature makes noises like that?! Artemis held his gun out in front of him and stepped around a tree. There, sitting on the toilet, was Mulch.
"What are you doing here Artemis?!" he shouted, pulling up his trousers.
"Holly sent me to empty the toilet." Artemis muttered.
"Oh good, it's full by the way." With that Mulch walked off, trailing mud. Artemis looked into the toilet and… well I hope I don't need to paint a picture. Mulch hadn't eaten a lot of fibre.
That evening, when Artemis had gotten back….
"Where were you?" Holly asked, not looking up from her card game with Butler.
"Cleaning out the toilet." He replied.
"Oh, thanks. Next time don't take all day!" and that was that.
A/N not very good I know, ah well… I did you challenge Ms. Random!!
