Welcome to my first fan fiction. I would like constructive criticism for the next chapter.

It was the fall of October 15 and the cold air brushes against the long black limo.

Butler opened his phone and found Minerva Paradizo under his contacts. After a few rings, Butler handed Artemis the phone just when Minerva picked up.

"Bonjour," Minerva said in her regular tone.

"Bonjour," Artemis had said.

Minerva half shrieked and half cried. "I knew you were going to come back, but I didn't know when!"

"Calm down, Minerva," Artemis said. He knew that she had missed him.

"Where are you now?" Minerva asked.

"We're getting close Fowl Manor," Artemis said.

"Oh, I can't wait to see you!" Minerva exclaimed.

"Wait, you're coming right now?" Artemis asked but she already hung up. He gave back Butler his phone and then they arrived at Fowl Manor.

The first thing Artemis saw was his parents at the doorway, running to embrace him in their arms.

"Oh, Arty," his mother said. Both of his parents were squeezing Artemis so hard that he had to have Butler pull him out.

After patting off his suit, Artemis said, "Hello mother and father. It's nice to see you again."

His mother made an annoyed face which made Artemis feel like he said something wrong.

"Artemis," his mother said, "We are your parents so you are able to call us mum or dad!"

"I'm sorry, mum," Artemis said. And with that, he went toward his room.

The next day, he heard someone knocking on his door. He checked his video surveillance system and saw what it was Minerva.

She was waving at the camera with one hand behind her back.

The old Artemis Fowl would have asked, "What do you have in your hand?" but the new Artemis Fowl happily let her in.

She was wearing a black trench coat with a white skirt to contrast with the black trench coat.

"You're here early, Minerva," Artemis said.

"I know," Minerva said, "I came here as fast as I could." Her eyes glistened in the morning sun.

"Well, where is your family staying at?" questioned Artemis.

"My family is staying at the Hotel de Luxe," Minerva answered.

"Well, why don't we sit down and have a nice game of chess," Artemis suggested.

After Artemis invited her in, she took off her trench coat to reveal a bright white blouse with flowers like roses, lilies, and violets on it. She also wore a pink hairband to make her hair look gorgeous.

"Stop thinking like that!" His brain started was saying but he still was thinking about her none the less.

One hour later, the couple was thinking about their next move. Artemis was in a bad position. His king was stuck in a corner by Minerva's queen and bishop. The only thing that protected the king was a rook placed in a strategic position.

"Checkmate!" Minerva exclaimed.

"Impossible!" Artemis exclaimed as well.

Minerva had a big smirk on her face and Artemis started blushing.

"Artemis, I have something to give you," Minerva said staring into his mismatched eyes.

She pulled something out from her back.

"This is for you," Minerva said softly.

It was a small, wrapped box with a little bow on the top.

"I hope this makes up for all the birthdays I've missed," she said with a giggle.

Artemis chuckled slightly as well.

He was carefully opening the gift like it was the last lemur of its kind.

Once he opened the box, he found a microchip.

"It's all of the research I got when I stole the demon," Minerva said guiltily.

Artemis knew Minerva had stopped using demons to get a Nobel Prize, but this was ridiculous.

"I'm, shocked," he managed to say.

"Don't be," Minerva said.

There was an awkward silence looming in the house that moment until there was a honk from a car outside.

"I think I should go," Minerva said and with that she rushed out the door and went into the car. She waved at Artemis and he waved back as the car left the driveway.
