This is a fic that I started on Fangathering and thought people might want to see it. This was my first fic!

Artemis was being tortured. Not literally but to him it was torture. Butler and Holly were making him wear jeans and a t-shirt to Juliet's wrestling match.
"Butler, we really must choose are things more carefully. I mean, who wears jeans?" Aremis asked, trying to sound as if he didn't care too much.
"Nice try, Arty," Holly said teasingly.
I'll never get used to her calling me that, Artemis thought
"Juliet is up. We can go after this," Butler informed him.
"Ladies and gentlemen! Here is the moment we have all been waiting for! Who will win? The Jade Princess or Crazy Bear?" a person annonced.
Artemis was scouting the room, looking for any crazy business men, metal man, or child genii. His gaze caught the one of a young girl, possibly 11 who had raven colored wavy hair, proclain skin, and emerald colored eyes, and the boy she was sitting with, who also appeared to be 11.
An emotion he was unfamiliar with blasted through him. Blasted pruperty. The girl turned in Artemis' direction. She whispered something to the boy and got up. She strolled to area where Artemis was. It took a couple seconds for him to realize she was right in front of him.
"Why were you staring at me?!" the girl demanded.
"I, I…" Artemis trailed off.
The girl looked at him, like looked at him, for the first time. She stared at him, her mouth opening and closing, like she was trying to say something but couldn't think of the right words. Finally, she mouthed something. Artemis Fowl.
Even if Artemis wasn't a self-trained lip reader, it was quite obvious what she mouthed. The girl now glanced at Butler and where Holly was. Artemis felt his pulse quicken. If another person was to discover the People, they are doomed, he thought.
"Yes, I am Artemis Fowl."
"I know," she squinted at the heat haze that was Holly. She froze.
"How did a heat haze get here unless… No. It can't be," she pondered. "Forgive me for my lack of manners. My name is Reyna. So they really do exist," she commented.
"Who exsit?" Artemis asked, fearing he knew exactly what she was talking about.
"The People! I thought the government was going crazy!"
"What meant you mean?" Holly asked as she stopped shielding.
"I'll tell you when we get somewhere secure."
"As much as I hate to say it, the girl we just met is right. There are at least a dozen people I have seen in other places recently," Artemis agreed.
"We have a situation here," Butler said.
Everyone turned to face him.
