Fowl Manor
Artemis looked at a small piece of plastic sitting in a little clear box, smiling at it's unusual shape. The rising sun making his ivory skin glow. Butler knew little about why Artemis had called him into the living room. Watching this via video chat was Foaly in his custom made chair back in the OP room.
"I know you said that this was important, but why do you have to do it at the crack of dawn?" snorted Foaly
"Everything will soon make sense." said Artemis.
Butler then asked "What are we here for?"
"Well," the young genius stood up, holding the box in his hand.
Before Artemis could get a word in Foaly questioned "What it is?"
Artemis raised an eyebrow, "If you would have let me speak, you would have know by now." He set the box down and took out the plastic "This," Artemis held it up, "is a new piece technology only known to science fiction. Small it may be, but this could change the world as we know it. In Hybrids Holly, No.1 and I have not only traveled through time," he paused for dramatic affect, "but to a different dimension as well. The Dimension Cap can travel through dimension without having to go though time as well. All I have to do is place this cap on one of my teeth and you press this button,"
Foaly looked confused "And why am I here?"
"Because," said Artemis "I thought this would interest you."
"Yes" replied Foaly "It's always nice to see a mud boy make technology more advanced than the LEP.
Then Artemis held out a remote with two buttons on it, "With that said, I will be off to explore the other worlds. I plan on doing so without delay."
Surprise showed on Butlers face. "Have you tested it yet?" he asked with anxiety in his voice.
"I have." Artemis said simply "And it was a success. Do not worry dear friend, if you wish to have me back before dinner then just press the yellow button on the remote."
"I'm not sure about this," said Foaly "Don't you think Butler should go?"
"I was just thinking that myself." replied the manservant.
Artemis handed the remote to Butler "I am becoming a man and I need to make my own decisions." Then he snapped the cap on one of his teeth "So please press the green button and I will be on my way."
Butler looked at the remote and then at Artemis. He has matured and his plans always are for the better. thought Butler. "Are your sure Artemis?"
"I have the highest IQ in Europe, I am sure."
Foaly frowned "But sometimes your plans turn out to get crazier than planed."
"You two have underestimated me. I had the genius to outwit fairies out of their gold,"
Foaly grummbled.
"I tricked the Russian Mafia, I traveled through time, and recently, with the help of fairy technology, I was cloned." He looked at Butler "So Butler, on three. One.."
Butler held the remote in hand.
"Two..."
The manservant took a deep breath.
"Three!" Artemis jumped in the air and with a tinge of regret Butler pressed the green button.
Artemis's feet never touched the ground, he was gone.
Butler looked at the spot where the teenage mastermind had been standing. It seemed like forever till he looked down and saw that a red light that was flashing on the remote. His anxiety spiked and with hesitation he pressed the yellow button.
Nothing happened. The little light still blinked red.
Butler looked worriedly at Foaly through the computer screen.
"Don't look at me, I didn't press the button." said the centaur.
Long Beach, California
It was cold and fuzzy feeling. Like floating, but being stretched into a thousand pieces. Artemis couldn't see anything. Then he was slowly being crushed. He could see light and feel objects. Artemis still felt like he was being crushed by something. He turned his head to find that he was under a couch.
From what he could see, there was a T.V. set and a coffee table, along with a fireplace covered with fake autumn leaves, but no people. He crawled out from underneath the couch. The sun had been rising, just like in his dimension. He had not gone through time, but to Artemis it looked like he had only teleported.
He looked around the room gaining information. A little sign on the mantle on the fireplace said 'Happy Thanksgiving!' sitting beside it was a turkey. The living room had green walls and seemed to a more 'up scale' house with high ceilings and spacious rooms. Tho the house still look average nonetheless. Artemis turned around to find photos. One that caught his eye was a family photo of a somewhat short woman standing next to a man, making him look like a tower in comparison. Then man looking like his father in a way. Below them was a set of twins, boy and girl looking slightly shorter than what looked like the eldest sibling. A girl looking like her mother, with her red hair. All were dressed in dresses or wearing ties.
Artemis was interested in the man who looked similar to his father. After studying his surroundings one thing came to mind. Alternate dimension, were everything is different or opposite, like where or how he lived, what his family looked like, almost everything being different.
There were more photos. One of a wedding of the two adults of the home and a few of babies. A couple of holiday pictures and family get-together's. Someday his family would be like that too.
Just then he heard music coming from one of the rooms. Artemis slowly walked in the hallway following the music. On the wall was some modern abstract paintings, with some childhood paintings as well. It was coming from a door at the end of the hallway. A sheet of paper on the door saying 'Please knock.' Artemis respected this, took a deep breath and knocked.
A weak, young feminine voice came from inside "Dad? I didn't hear you come home."
Artemis took this as a invitation inside and walked in.
Turning he saw a sickly red headed girl with green eyes wide in fear and shoe in her hand. Her voice quivering "Your not my dad!"
Then he saw the sole of a shoe inches away from his face.
