Author Note: I'll get back to the Next Generation: Sabrina as soon as possible, but at the moment I'm suffering from a slight case of writers block. But, I have the first ten chapters of this story, so the more reviews I get for each chapter...the more I'll update. :D

Thanks for the reviews that I have so far! xD Here's the next chapter!

Oh and just so you know, as this information isn't really mentioned in the story, Arty and Juliet aren't married. NO. Don't assume that. Butler retired and Juliet took over as bodyguard. And ten years before the story Butler died...so..yeah..

Myles and Beckett moved away, Myles to England and Beckett to the U.S. Artemis Sr. and Angeline still live in Fowl Manor, but at the moment they are on vacation visiting both of their youngest sons and their families.

Now, enough chit-chat, read the story! And enjoy! :D -TL16


Artemis awoke the next morning prepared for a new, if not interesting, day. He headed downstairs and found that Juliet was already in there fixing breakfast for the children.

Orion was already at the table, nose in the latest book obsession of his. However, little Lucy, blonde hair in pigtails, was excitedly bouncing around the room in a way that only four-year old girls do.

Artemis smiled. She was always full of energy. He always wondered where she got it from.

Lucy spotted her father almost immediately. She ran up to him and jumped up and down, begging to be picked up.

"Daddy! Good morning!"

Artemis laughed and picked her up. She giggled and playfully messed up his hair like she always did. "Good morning, Lucy. How are you this morning?"

"Good. Julie's fixing breakfast and then I'm going to go play with my dolls and…"

Artemis laughed. "That sounds like fun, sweetie. Now, why don't you go and take that book from your brother? He knows the rules."

She nodded and as soon as she was set back onto the ground, she ran over to her big brother, grabbed his book, and took off running.

"NO READING AT THE TABLE ORION! DADDY SAYS!"

Orion was furious. "Lucy! Come back here! DAD!"

Artemis laughed and took a seat next to his son. "Leave her alone. I told her to do it."

Orion was flabbergasted. "What? Why?"

"Nevermind why, but don't read at the table. Understand?"

"Yes, sir."

By this time Juliet had finished breakfast and she took a seat next to Artemis at the table. She rolled her eyes. Artemis looked at her quizzically.

"You're just such a hypocrite Artemis! You used to do the exact same thing!"

"I know that Juliet, but I'm determined that my children have at least a somewhat normal childhood."

Juliet rolled her eyes again and sighed. When she spoke you could just hear the layers of sarcasm. "Oh yeah. The fairies and the fact that their family is among the richest in the world, totally defines normal childhood."

Artemis was persistent. "I said somewhat normal."

While the two adults argued, Orion was helping himself to breakfast. School was in thirty-minutes and he didn't want to be late. Besides, this was a normal occurrence at breakfast.

Suddenly Lucy came running back into the kitchen, almost knocking over the orange juice as she climbed into a chair. Where she had came from, no one knew, but the one thing that they did know was that she had hidden Orion's book. Where? Who knows?

"Yay! Pancakes! My favorite!" Lucy giggled and chattered excitedly. There was no peace and quiet in Fowl Manor with her around. That ended a long time ago.

After breakfast Juliet took Orion to school, Lucy went to her room to play, and Artemis headed to his study to do some research.

Artemis sat down at his desk and turned on his laptop. Time to do a little research. But not for his project, that was completely forgotten. He now had a new mission. But first he needed to do a little research on the paranormal. He had to find out why little Annie would possibly come back as a ghost.

Two hours later his research was complete. He had found what he was looking for. He smiled to himself; that was too easy.

The answer was simple. If what he saw last night was real, then the reason for Annie Kelp to come back as a ghost was that she had some unfinished business. She wanted something. But, the question is…What?

Alas, he would have to figure that out later. Right now he needed to go check on Lucy. Usually by now she would have come in to his study, begging for attention. She was unusually quiet.

Artemis left his study and headed towards his daughter's room. As he approached her room he started to hear giggles. What? She was alone…right?

Artemis threw open the door and there sat Lucy playing with her dolls. He breathed a sigh of relief, but not for long.

Lucy whined. "Daddy! You scared her away!"

Artemis raised an eyebrow and knelt down to his daughter's level. "Scared who away, sweetie?"

"My new friend…Annie."


It was just another day at work for Foaly. He was in the Ops Booth, organizing files, maintaining security, doing some research. The usual.

As he worked however, he began to feel a strange sensation. Like he was being watched…Like someone was in the room with him…

He looked around and there was no one there. Out of old habit, he reached in his desk and pulled out his tinfoil hat. He hadn't worn it in a while, but he felt like he needed it.

Foaly went back to work and soon the feeling passed. He was just about to stop work and take a lunch break and maybe work on one of his projects, when...

BANG!

He jumped up from his chair and looked around. He sighed in relief when he saw that it was only a book that had fallen from a shelf. He crossed the room, picked it up, and replaced it back on the self.

He returned to his seat and took out his lunch. He needed a break. Artemis had done gotten him all paranoid with that ghost business. Foaly rolled his eyes, Artemis and those theories of his.

BANG!

Foaly jumped up again and looked...The same book had fallen again. What the…?

He crossed the room, prepared to pick up the book once again. But as he approached the self he suddenly saw something that made him freeze about five feet from the shelf.

It was an elf with violet eyes and curly auburn hair. She was wearing a green dress and her hair was tied back with a matching green ribbon. She giggled and placed the book back on the shelf.

"Whoops. Sorry, Uncle Foaly." Then she disappeared, leaving a flabbergasted centaur standing open mouthed staring at the place where she stood.

After a moment Foaly recovered from the shock and quickly pulled out his phone. He pressed a button on speed dial and Artemis immediately answered.

"Hello, Foaly. I was just about to call you. What is it?"

Foaly was still in shock. "I believe you."

"What?"

"I said I believe you. About Annie. She just appeared in the Ops Booth. She even spoke to me."

Artemis was surprised. "Really? Okay…this is more serious than I thought. She's been here again too. She showed herself to Lucy...We need to organize a meeting. Tonight. Here at the Manor should be good since she'll probably appear again."

Foaly agreed. "Yes. I'll tell Trouble and we'll be there at about eight. Okay?"

"Yes that'll be fine. I'll call Holly in a little while. Just remember, not a word about Holly to Trouble. Just tell him its guy business. They'll probably be mad once they find out that we tricked them, but they'll get over it."

"Okay. Talk to you later."

Foaly headed back to work. By the end of the day there were no other encounters with Annie. He was still trying to recover from the first. It was…he didn't know how to describe it. It was creepy and sad and weird at the same time. Indescribable.

Well, time to inform the Commander of the little "meeting" tonight. If he said was busy then Foaly would just have to make it mandatory.

Foaly pressed a button and turned on the intercom. "Commander Kelp to the Ops Booth. Commander Kelp to the Ops Booth. Thank you."

A few minutes later Trouble entered the Ops Booth. He looked tired and worn, despite his age. Being Commander brought on many things. And so did family issues.

"Yes Foaly? What is it?"

Foaly took a deep breath. "Listen Trouble. We need to talk."
