Author Notes

Ok, I'm just giving you a heads up that I'm not going to be doing any major updating this week due to September break. Sorry for the delay, by next weekend I'll have chapter ten up. I forgot to mention that in my last chapter.

I'm so sorry! And I can't do it now because in like, five minutes I'm leaving for the beach. SO. I'll give you this little tid bit that I didn't put in the prologue. It just gives you a look on Artemis's past experience with girls...one imparticular...

From the J Argon Files

Artemis Fowl has claimed to have no experience with girls. This, in fact, is not so. He had one experience with a young woman named…Callie.

Now, Artemis refused to use the words 'fancy' or 'flirty' to describe his feelings for the fair Callie. Instead, he describe is feelings as strong enzymes pulsing through his subconscious causing reactions such as faster heart beat, strong blood flow to the cheeks, heavy circulation…and other such things. The truth was, he was in love with her. He couldn't stop thinking about her, not even to scheme, which he grew very annoyed with. So annoyed, that he finally got up the courage to, as they say, 'ask her out.'

Her response was this. "I'll go out with you, Artemis, as long you wear a plastic bag over your head."

Artemis never talked to girls again, nor trusted them. He sent them into tears whenever they talked to him, thinking that they deserved it.

But, deep inside Callie felt bad for what she said to Artemis. And she never could shake it off, the utter look of aghast on the poor boy's face.

Little did she know, she had given a certain pimp fairy all the evidence he needed to know Artemis one weakness, was girls.

Ok, well I have to go now. Sorry for keeping you in suspense (still). Until next time,

Wandering Mind
