Blue and Hazel

ONE.

Opal Koboi experienced many unfortunate scenarios in the past. She admitted to her failures. As a future leader of the worlds she had to be realistic with her tiny flaws. A famous person one stated "Learn from one's own mistakes". She saw her past as a perfect example of how not to succeed. She sat in one of her lavish sitting rooms with a pleased grin upon her beautiful features. She always hungered for a fabulous life…beyond mere existence as an art major…living with children and a simple husband. She gritted her teeth slightly at the memory of her father and their talks. He always believed the intensive occupations were meant for the males. She could only laugh at the thought.
It had only been a month since her plan began but it was going flawlessly despite only being the earlier stages. Subtly was everything…well…except for her trump card. She put her other plans into motion already. This single trick took a little more effort on her part.

"Opal, love," a soft masculine voice stated from the doorway.

A large grin painted across her features. Despite her annoyance by the title of endearment she was pleased all the same. Standing in the doorway was none other than her former archenemy Artemis Fowl II.

"Come in."

He nodded softly before making his way into the large room further. She softly analyzed him as he made his way toward her. Years had done magic on the human boy. Opal could not deny it. Despite her distaste for romance, attraction and the like she knew what beauty looked like. There had been suitors in the past but she couldn't be bothered with them. After all it had all been her father's clever scheme to get her to settle which was against her own principles.

"And what is it you have there Arty?" she cooed sweetly.

A sly grin painted across the youth's features as he offered over the package. She glanced at the wrapped item curiously before tearing open the gift. Her eyes momentarily lit up at the sight of the Belgium chocolate truffles. Her favorite treat which she had been too busy to acquire. The human boy was thinking of everything before she even did. This would worry her any other day but dismissed it as a harmless act. It had been difficult to convince Artemis to join her. The art of persuasion finally reeled him in.

"Well…I am pleased."

Artemis nodded with a smug grin upon his features. She watched the human dip down carefully to steal a kiss. Quickly Opal moved her head from his path. She gave him an easy going yet stern smile.

"Now, now Arty, please, behave," she stated with a twinkle in her eye.

"Wherever did you get the impression that I allow such…behavior?"

"I thought I would take my chance," he stated confidently.

"Well do not do it again," she narrowed her eyes. "This is a business relationship…any further ideas off that line of thought will not be welcome. But ask for the sweets once again I am pleased…all these chocolates though…how am I ever to maintain my beautiful skin."

"Unheard of," Artemis announced with a grin. "Your skin will remain as flawless as ever…you have nothing to worry."

Opal eyed the youth carefully before popping a chocolate into her mouth. It wouldn't do for the youth to get too closer to her. After all he was simply a pawn. If Opal were any other female she was certain this would be exactly what she wished for. But she is not and will not allow anything to interfere with her focus. As future leader of the world she will of course have loyal subjects…and if Artemis proved himself as useful…he may find himself a lot closer to her throne than she would have imagined for him.

"What is the progress on the LEP security system?" she asked casually as she enjoyed another sweet.

Artemis composed himself before he responded. "Excellent… I already formed a decent disguise. Our future endeavors will go unnoticed…as long as Lunar remains active and loyal."

Opal noticed a twitch in Artemis's eye at the name of one of her subordinates. She rolled her eyes tiredly. This rivalry between Artemis and one of the male fairies was unnecessary. She learned working in a group of many different kinds of individuals never failed her in the past. Her one mistake had been leaving out Artemis but now that was no longer a problem.

"I assure you Lunar despises the LEP just as much as we do," she stated. "Our next plan must go into effect."

"Of course."

For a few seconds Opal glanced at the box of chocolates and then at Artemis. She sighed inwardly before offering up a chocolate to the elder boy. He eyed the treat with a bit of confusion…before allowing Opal to put the sweet confection into his own mouth.

"Do not expect that gesture again," she stated with a smirk. "That was a momentary lapse in my persona."

He nodded as he chewed softly. Despite her statement he smiled knowingly.

"I shall leave you alone," he stated before slowly leaving the room.

She watched him go with a sigh. It wouldn't do to become too soft toward the human. The affection she showed was a momentary lapse in her better judgment and she would make sure it never happened again. An evil grin painted across her lips. Everything was finally falling into place. She popped another chocolate piece into her mouth.

Hey Everyone! I'm back in this fandom. I never thought I'd be able to write for Artemis Fowl again. My imagination wouldn't leave me alone though so here it goes. In addition I enjoy the Artemis Fowl fandom too much to stay away. I really enjoyed typing up this chapter. What is going on here? Tune in to find out.
