This is he updated chapter cause I am so very whizzed off that I made that mistake and it was bugging me like ants in my pants!

Ok, time for the updated chapter!

"Wake up, wake up, wake up!"

Artemis awoke to small feet jumping on his stomach.

"Get off, get off!" he cried in pain.

Myles and Beckett both hopped off his stomach.

"Wake up Artemis, it's christmas!" they yelled in unison.

He quickly sat up. "Alright, alright, I'm up!"

"Hooray!"

The twins dashed out of his room, probably to wake up their parents.

"Ugh" he moaned as he rubbed his sleep deprived eyes.

He walked towards his cabinet, quickly got dressed then stumbled over to his desk.

His present for Holly sat on top of his desk.

'Odd.' he thought 'I thought I put it under the desk.'

He quickly peek under the desk, but all he found were several boxes, that were clearly not wrapped.

He stood up and snatched the present on top of his desk from it's resting place, as well as the rest of the presents, and headed downstairs to the christmas tree.

After the seemingly endlessly long walk to the tree, he dumped the presents beneath it.

He stretched his tired arms. "Finally, thats over."

He sat down on a leather couch and awaited the others arrival.

About five minutes later, everybody sluggishly entered the living room.

Myles and Beckett ran around laughing and giggling for their presents.

The next ten minutes passed by in a blur as presents were shredded open and played with, every 10 seconds there was a "thank you!" or a "Hooray!" and sometimes even a "This was exactly what I wanted, thanks!"

Finally there was one present left.

Artemis reached over and peeked at the name tag, it was his present to Holly.

"Holly, this one is for you." said Artemis.

She reached out and gently took it from his hands, "Thanks."

She carefully ripped open the wrapping paper, and ever so slowly opened the box that contained her present.

As soon as the lid was removed from the box, a particularly large Jalapēno on a spring was launched at Holly's face.

Her eyes widened in surprise as the Jalapēno was forcibly ejected from the box.

"D'arvit." she swore.

SPLAT!

Everyone gasped in surprise.

Everyone froze as they waited for Holly's reaction.

Suddenly Holly shrieked in pain, "AHHHHGH SPICY!"

She began running around the living room like a complete maniac

"WATER!" She screamed and dashed into the bathroom.

"Miles and Beckett Fowl!" Artemis yelled, "Did you pull that prank?"

"No Artemis." they replied innocently

Holly came back several minutes later, the pain that was in her face previously was almost gone, although her eyes watered slightly.

"Thank you for the present Artemis." she said venomously.

Your...welcome" He said slowly.

She turned around and stormed off to her room.

When he looked back at his family, he found that they were all giving him angry or pissed off looks, save Myles and Beckett, who were playing with their new toys.

Angeline pointed a finger in the general direction of Artemis' room, signalling him to go there.

Artemis hung his head in shame and began the slow walk to his room.

Nobody could have noticed a giggling elf on Artemis' room's ceiling about to drop a pie on her unsuspecting victim.

Cliffhanger!

This chapter has been updated thankfully, because I figured a Jalapēno was more funny. Heheheh.

How was this updated chapter? Good or bad?

Let me know in an updated review!

Updated...haha.
