Artemis tried for thirty minutes to get Elizabeth to listen to him, but she just wouldn't! He yelled, "Please, Elizabeth, open the door!" She screamed, "Please go away, Artemis! I don't want to talk to you!" Artemis normally would've given up, but he just wouldn't. "Elizabeth, I'm sorry! Does it matter that much that I don't remember you?!" He knew the minute he said that, it was wrong. Not a sound. The door clicked, and swung open, showing Elizabeth's eyes pink with tears, her face filled with rage. She yelled, "Does it matter?! DOES IT MATTER?!!! Of course it matters, Artemis! Do I matter?!" Artemis didn't answer. He didn't know how to. Elizabeth stared into his eyes, and yelled, "Why don't you just tell me I don't matter and just dispose of me! Better yet, why don't you just get Butler to kill me?!"
Artemis's eyes widened. He asked, "Do you want that? Do you really want that?" Elizabeth's mouth frowned, tears still following. She said, gently, "What's the point of living if you can't remember me? You, of all people, not remember me. Artemis, can't you see that I love you?" Artemis's eyes widened even more. Does she mean that: he thought. Her face gentle, and covered in tears, she said, "I did ever since we were kids and I do now. If you can't love me back, I…" She couldn't finish. She turned around, watching snow fall onto the ground. It was dark.
Artemis stepped up, and grabbed Elizabeth. He embraced her into a hug, and said, "I'm sorry I can't remember you." Artemis than thought of something: Was the mine wipe to blame? Will a strong memory bring the memories back to me? Artemis and Elizabeth heard a door shut, hearing Butler yell, "I will set up the mattress, Artemis! Elizabeth, I will get the videos." During the whole Elizabeth locking herself in a room, Artemis called Butler and asked him that when he got home to make an inflatable bed, in case Elizabeth would still be angry. Elizabeth called from the guest room, Butler's number on the caller id, and asked him to play some home videos.
The videos! Maybe they will help: Artemis thought. He looked at Elizabeth and said, "Come on. Let's go watch the videos." Elizabeth smiled and they ran down the stairs.
It was nearly midnight when Butler put in one last video. He then left the room, heading upstairs to his own room.
"Happy Birthday, Arty, dear," said Angeline Fowl. "You're turning ten years old already, son," said Artemis Fowl Senior. A young Artemis sat a table. Butler's voice, behind the camera, said, "Smile, young sir." Young Artemis shot a small smile. Artemis looked at his mother, and asked, "When's Elizabeth coming, mom?" Artemis pulled two small packages from under the table. They were very small. Angeline smiled and said, "Very soon, sweetie." "Artemis!" a young girl's voice yelled. The video turned to see a young girl running with a medium sized bright orange package, a man with black hair walking with a woman with slightly red hair.
"Elizabeth!" Artemis yelled, dropping the packages, and running to her. He hugged the girl, the package hurting their chests. "Artemis, this-is-uncomfortable!" Elizabeth yelled. Artemis let go, saying, "Sorry." Elizabeth smiled and put the package in Artemis's arms. She said, "Open it." Nodding his head, Artemis started to rip the brightly colored wrapping paper. When he finished unwrapping it, a huge smile spread across his face. Butler's voice asked, "What is it, young master?" Artemis held up a bunch of books. Artemis yelled, "It's the books I wanted!"
Artemis placed the books on the ground and hugged Elizabeth, saying, "Thanks so much, Elizabeth." Artemis than let go of Elizabeth and ran to the table. He gave her the packages and said, "These are for you." Elizabeth stared at them. Artemis continued, "Since I won't be seeing you for your birthday, I got your presents early. Go on." Elizabeth took the first package and opened it. She gasped. She pulled out an opal bracelet. She said, "Artemis, it's my birthstone!" He said, "I know. I got it especially for you. Open the last one."
Elizabeth took the last package, but opened this one slower. When she got the paper off, she opened a small gray box. She gasped again, not taking another breath. Artemis smiled and asked, "Do you like it?" Elizabeth slowly nodded her head, picking up a necklace with a diamond attached to it. "It's beautiful, Artemis," she said. He walked closer to her, gently grabbing the necklace, running behind her, saying, "Here let me put it on." Elizabeth lifted up her hair as Artemis locked the necklace around her neck.
Hours passed, and the children spent non-stop time with each other. When it was time to go, Elizabeth's mother said, "Liz, give Artemis his last present." She winked. Elizabeth blushed and Artemis asked, "You got me two presents? You didn't have to." Elizabeth said, "Um…" She leaned in and kissed his cheek. Angeline and Elizabeth's mother laughed. The tape ended.
