A/N: Hey, this is just a little story that I've been working on since my creative writing class last year. It's about what would happen if my best friend and I were transferred to Artemis Fowl's world. Read, enjoy, and PLEASE REVIEW!

Disclaimer: The only things from this story that I own are the characters Starla and Rashelle and the plot. The rest belong to Eoin Colfer. Do you really think that I am Eoin Colfer? If you do, well, thank you for such a compliment! However, you would be mistaken. I'm simply a crazed fan girl who loves to write.

It was hot. Very hot. So hot, you could cook an egg on the sidewalk. I had even gotten so bored that I had tried it on the driveway. It had worked. Of course, nobody in my apartment complex had wanted to eat them.

Well, anyway, as I was saying, it was hot. It was the middle of July. I was inside, multitasking. Watching TV, listening to Radio Disney, and on the computer, checking out all of my favorite websites, that is. Neopets, Yahoo Mail, Artemis Fowl FanGathering, and the Artemis Fowl, Animorphs, and Harry Potter sections of . I had spent my entire summer doing this. I had spent quite a bit of time with my best friend, Rashelle, too, but that only took up so much time!

I quickly minimized the programs and turned the radio off, but left the T.V. on. I would be back. I walked out of my room and into the living room where my mom, as usual, was on the computer.

"Mom?" I asked. No answer other than her muttering to herself. "Mom?" I repeated a little louder, walking closer to her computer chair.

"What?" she asked, looking up.

"Can I go to the D.I., and then to the library, on my bike?" I asked quickly.

"The library? That's eight blocks away!"

"I can do it."

"Alright then, but be back before it gets too dark."

" I will!" I cheered. I ran to my room, grabbed my purse and my phone, put my phone in my purse, and put it on. I walked into the kitchen, grabbed some bags of Cheetos and packets of cheese-and-crackers, placed them in my purse, and walked out the door with a quick goodbye. On my way to the back of my apartment complex to get my bike, I looked at my phone. It was 12:57 P.M. I had plenty of time!

I took my keys out of my purse, unlocked the lock, and stuffed the keys, lock, and plastic chain into my purse. I hopped onto my bike and circled around the apartments, crossed the street, and flew down the hill. I was going pretty fast and only stopped when I got to a stop light. When I got to the D.I., I walked up to the bike rack, took my lock and chain out, and locked my bike to the rack as tight as I could. I walked into the store to feel the wonderful air conditioning.

I went straight to the book section. I took out my list of books that I had at my house. Taking out my wallet, I saw $50.00. I could get up to one hundred $0.50 books! After about an hour of looking, I had found twenty-five books. Seven Animorphs books, three Babysitter books, two Babysitters' Little Sisters books, three Goosebumps books, all five Harry Potter books that I didn't have (my brother had finally given me back number seven), and all five Artemis Fowl books that I didn't have! What a lucky day!

I went to go pay, but saw a really cute knickknack that my mom would like and grabbed it. Because the Artemis Fowl and Harry Potter books were $3.00 each and everything else was 50 cents, including the knickknack, it all totaled $38.00. I would have $12.00 left. I paid and walked outside with my three bags. I unlocked my bike lock, put everything in the basket, and checked my phone. It was 1:42. I climbed on and started on my way to the library.

About two blocks away from the library, I stopped at Rashelle's house. I ran up to her door and knocked. Mikayla and Sean, Rashelle's mostly annoying little sister and brother, answered. "Hi," I said as nicely as I could. "Is Rashelle there?"

"No," Sean said.

"She's at the library," Mikayla added.

"Thanks."

I hopped on my bike and pedaled to the library. I locked my bike to the bike rack and went in. I knew right where to look. I headed straight for the computers. In the second row, I could see a girl with brown hair and blue eyes who seemed to be fourteen going on fifteen. Rashelle!

"Rashelle" I whispered as I walked towards her. She looked up and smiled as soon as she saw me. "Hey," she whispered. "What are you doing here?"

"I rode my bike. Oh, and I stopped off at the D.I. and bought these." I showed her my bags.

"Cool!" she whispered. "Show me what you got!"

We walked over to her computer and I dumped out the books in two of the bags. I took the knickknack out of the third bag and emptied the bag of its contents.

"Wow!" she said in a volume that made me just a little uncomfortable, considering we were in a library. Well, to be honest, there were barely any people there. But still, I didn't want to be too loud.

"Let's play on the computer. I still have an hour left." Rashelle said, after a couple of minutes' fawning over all of my books. We spent the next hour together on all of our favorite web sites. After we ran out of time, we went to the Children's Section. There was no one there-even the librarians seemed to have gone on break!

We found this a little odd, but we continued on to the couch/sofas at the back of the room. Since there was nobody there, we each got our own sofa, even though we both could have fit on the middle sofa with plenty of room. I chose the one in the corner because it was right under the pretty, sunlit windows. Rashelle chose the middle sofa because it was right next to mine, and because it was the biggest.

"This is so cool!" I said. "It's like we have the entire library to ourselves!"

"It's sort of creepy," Rashelle said, grinning. "Hey, what time is it?"

I checked my phone. "3:47 P.M."

We soon settled down and started reading. Rashelle was reading the new Twilight book, in Edward's point of view. I had decided to reread the first Artemis Fowl book. We sat there, reading, for about twenty minutes. Then my stomach growled. I remembered the food in my purse.

"Hey, Rashelle?" I stage-whispered. "Are you hungry?"

"Yeah," she replied.

"Want some of my Cheetos and cheese-and-crackers?"

"Sure!" she said excitedly.

I looked in my purse and started taking out my snacks. Then I saw it.

"What the heck?" I exclaimed.

"What's wrong?" Rashelle asked with a small confused look on her face.

"I just found a book in my purse!" I explained.

"What book is it?"

"It's my Artemis Fowl #6: The Time Paradox. I wonder what it's doing in my purse."

"That's weird," she said, already back to her book. I put the book in one of my bags and continued taking out the snacks.

"Ahhh!" Rashelle screamed as I threw half of the snacks at her. We both laughed.

"Thanks," she said. We both settled down and continued to read while munching on our snacks. Thirty minutes later, it happened.

I was on page 52. All of a sudden, I heard a sucking sound. It echoed in the empty library. I looked up in surprise. So did Rashelle. Our eyes locked.

"What's that?" Her voice cracked with fear.

"I don't know." I was almost as scared as her.

That's when a huge, swirling green vortex appeared.

"Ahhhhhh!" We both screamed like little girls.

Suddenly, I felt the sensation that you get when your clothes are too close to the vacuum cleaner. I was being sucked in!

"Starla! I'm being sucked in!" came Rashelle's voice, barely audible above the noise of the portal.

"I am, too!" I yelled. We were able to hold on to each others hands before entering complete and total darkness.
