A/N: I do not own Artemis Fowl (sadly).

This is my first fanfic, and I am a bit nervous. Sorry, the chapter is a little short, but write me, if other should follow. It is placed somewhere between TLC and TAC. Please review it. I hope you enjoy it and Merry Christmas to you :-)

White. Everything was white. The trees in front of the Fowl estate were hidden under snow and from the sky danced thick white flakes. Artemis Fowl the Second glanced at the snow, then stared at the screen of his laptop.

His little brothers bursted into the room, shouting and laughing. Myles stopped suddenly when he noticed the sad expression on the face of his older brother.

„What is it?", asked the four year old boy, pointing at the screen. It showed a news site.

„Artemis read!", called Beckett and clapped his hands happily.

Artemis sighed and began to read the text:

„Due to heavy snowstorms, New York's John F. Kennedy Airport had to be closed. Hundreds of passengers are stuck there. It will previously open again on December 27th."

Myles thought for a while.

„But ... Mom and Dad are in New York ..."

"They will be back on Christmas, yes, Artemis?", asked Beckett hopefully.

Artemis ruffled his little brothers hair.

„Of course they will. Mother promised it, remember?

I am quite sure that the two will find a way.", lied Artemis. He did not bear it to tell Beckett and Myles the truth.
