Disclaimer: No, Artemis Fowl is not mine. I have to admit, that is probably a good thing because my favorite character is Opal so some stuff would have gone down differently…

On to the final chapter!


Everybody had slept in reasonably the next morning. Well, almost everyone. Butler had woken up when the first ray of light from the rising sun had reached the car. Juliet had started to wake up, then she opened her eyes enough to see that it was still sprinkling outside so she rolled over in the passenger seat and went back to sleep. Butler got out of the car and retrieved some blankets and sleeping bags from the tents. He then used duct tape to secure the blankets over the windows and windshields of both cars so the sun would not wake up anyone else. He knew that the duct tape would at least leave sticky residue on the cars if it did not take off the first layer of paint, but he figured that so long as he returned the vans, no one at the rental place would say anything.

Juliet, Holly, and Artemis Sr. woke up a few hours later, after the rain had completely stopped. Juliet and Holly cleared everything out of their tent and put what they did not need in the trunk. Most of their belongings were still dry since they had not been pressed against the edge of the tent and the girls had zipped the tent up before bolting to the car. Butler cleaned up his and Angeline and Artemis Sr.'s tents, since Artemis Sr. was the only Fowl awake and he was taking Orion on a morning walk.

Mulch and No1 woke up when Juliet opened the trunk, flooding the van with light. Trouble and Foaly woke up when she slammed the door down again. They got up and went to their tent to start gathering their things. Once there, Foaly immediately noticed a problem. He just shook his head.

"Oh, really?" he asked. "Who was the last one out of the tent last night?"

"I think it was No1," yawned Trouble.

"No," said No1. "I was the last one to the car. Mulch was the last one out of the tent."

"Well way to go, convict," said Foaly, aiming a kick at him. "You left the door open. Now everything's drenched."

There was a chorus of groans as they entered the tent.

"Wow," said Trouble. "There are still even puddles of water on the ground."

"Gee, sorry," said Mulch, rolling his eyes. "In the lightning storm closing the door wasn't really at the top of my priority list."

They pulled their sleeping bags out of the tent to roll them up since the tent was flooded. The ground was wet too, but at least there was more room to spread out. Mulch shook his sleeping bag to get some of the water out. About fifty ants came out too. Mulch dropped the sack and unzipped it so it became more of a comforter, revealing about a hundred more ants.

"Seriously?" he yelled at the cluster of ants as he swept them off his sleeping bag.

"What did you think was going to happen if you ate food in your sleeping bag every night and then left the tent door open?" asked No1, gently brushing an ant that had landed on him when Mulch shook the bag.

Mulch was about to respond to that when Angeline emerged from the van. She was smiling. Artemis Sr. walked out from the woods with Orion.

"Timmy!" called Angeline. "Come, look, how cute our boys are right now!"

This, of course, drew everyone over to the car. They all squeezed into the front two seats of the car. Artemis was still asleep, lying across the backseat on his side. Myles was sleeping on top of his side, looking as though he was giving Artemis a big bear hug. Beckett was curled up next to Artemis, snuggled into his chest. Artemis had his arms wrapped protectively around Beckett to make sure he did not fall. There were several 'awwww' sounds and everyone's phones came out. Even Butler had to snap a picture. Then Myles shifted and Artemis started to stir.

"Back, back, back," whispered Holly quickly, pushing her way out of the cramped vehicle.

They all piled out quickly and shut the doors. Artemis emerged from the van a few minutes later.

"What?" he asked Juliet, who was just staring at him with a goofy smile on her face.

"Oh, nothing," she replied, turning around to help her brother with starting breakfast.

Artemis decided to just let it drop. For now.

"I think we should start going in groups to bathhouses now and take turns showering while the others eat breakfast," said Angeline.

"I agree," said Holly. "I need one. I still have some dirt caked onto my face from last night."

"Me, Holly, and Angeline first!" called Juliet, handing her plate to Butler and grabbing her shower stuff, which she had placed next to car, not in the trunk.

The boys ate their breakfast while the girls were gone. They came back about thirty minutes later.

"Where were you?" asked Butler.

"We were about to send someone to go looking for you," added No1.

"Beauty takes time," responded Juliet. "Oh, and there's a line, so I'd hurry it up if I were you."

Artemis Sr. quickly went down with the twins who had just woken up. When they came back, Butler walked down there with Mulch and No1, since Mulch was still deemed unfit to watch after No1 on his own and nobody wanted Butler going last since that would mean that they had to pack up everything without him. When they finally came back, Artemis Jr., Trouble, and Foaly were the only ones left to go.

So the three of them sat around the entrance to bathhouses, obviously all in human form. They had been there for a while, but now they were next in line. Artemis was on his phone. His parents did not really care, since everyone was leaving right after they returned. Suddenly Artemis froze and slowly looked up at Foaly.

Artemis was on .gnom, on the fairy internet. He was currently looking at the picture on the homepage, which was of him asleep in his car with Myles and Beckett. It was posted an hour ago and it already had two thousand four hundred and thirteen views and eight hundred and forty two comments.

"Brotherly Love," said Artemis, reading the caption. "I'm going to kill you."

The calmness with which he said that is what scared Foaly the most.

"Oh, look, a shower stall just opened up," said Foaly, charging into it and locking the door behind him.

"I get the next one," said Trouble.

"No," said Artemis, putting his phone in a plastic bag. "I would assume that you too were quite creepily watching me sleep, so it's only fair that I get to use the next available one so we're even."

"Since when do you take into account what's fair?" asked Trouble in disbelief.

"For Foaly's safety I think it's best for me to be in the shower instead of waiting here for him to get out," said Artemis seriously.

Just then a man exited one of the showers. He looked like a hobo, with stringy, long hair and somewhat torn clothes. Worst of all, he was barefoot, and both Artemis and Trouble could clearly see the foot fungus growing between his tows.

"You know, you're right," said Trouble. "It's all yours."

"No, thank you," said Artemis, trying to get the look of disgust off his face. "I'll just wait for the next one."

Eventually, two more stalls opened up and Artemis and Trouble showered. All three of them walked back together, Foaly being cautious to keep Trouble between him and Artemis the whole time. When they arrived at the campsite, everything had already been loaded into the cars. They threw their bathing products and dirty clothes into the trunks of the vans they were riding in and took one last look around to make sure they hadn't left anything behind. Juliet quickly pulled Artemis aside and redrew his eyebrow on before she got in the car. The fairies piled into the row of seats behind her, now fairy sized again so they would all fit. Artemis Sr. and Angeline were already waiting in the other van, with Myles in back. Beckett had gone off into the woods to play. Butler, Orion, and Artemis Jr. were the only two left outside.

"Beckett!" called Butler. "Come back! It's time to go!"

There was silence for a second, but then the bushes rustled and Beckett skipped through. He was holding something.

"Butler, Arty, look!" he yelled excitedly, brandishing the object. "I found a kitty walking around in the woods! It's so soft!"

Angeline gasped in shock and started to get out of the car, but Artemis Sr. grabbed her arm. Juliet had both hands covering her mouth. Everyone in the cars had wide eyes fixed on Beckett. Holly had a look of horror on her face, but it did not come close to rivaling the one on Artemis Jr.'s.

The 'kitty' was all black with one white stripe going across its back.

"Skunks are nocturnal," lectured Artemis. "This one must have been flushed out of its den by the rain last night."

"Shhhhhh," hissed Butler, putting on a fake smile for Beckett. "Beckett, can you carefully put the kitty down and come over here please?"

"But I want to keep it!" said Beckett, stomping his foot.

"Sorry, Beck, you can't keep it," said Butler. "Cats and dogs don't get along, right? You wouldn't want Orion to be sad, would you?"

Beckett pouted but set the skunk down and started to walk the reasonably long distance over to Butler and Artemis. Butler was just about to relax when Beckett got three quarters of the way to them, until he noticed Orion sniffing the skunk, which had not run off into the forest like he had expected.

"Orion…" said Artemis worriedly.

Orion barked at the skunk. The animal whipped around and sprayed him before fleeing back into the underbrush. The mastiff whimpered and yelped, bolting back towards Butler and the Fowls. Artemis flew backwards into car, gagging. His speed would have impressed Butler had Butler not been preoccupied with failing to stop Beckett from hugging the traumatized dog.

"Ew, Orion," blanched Beckett. "You smell awful."

Since leaving the reeking Beckett and Orion behind was not an option, Butler had managed to shift some of the belongings in the trunk of the Fowls' van to make room for Orion there. He had also used a wet cloth to wash out Orion's eyes. Beckett had to sit in the back of the rented car with his brothers, who spent the ride with their heads hanging out the window. Juliet sprayed Butler down with her perfume until he was deemed bearable enough to drive the other van.

A few days later, the next picture for the home page on .gnom was stolen from the Fowl Manor security cameras, depicting Artemis Jr. and Butler giving Orion and Beckett a tomato juice bath in their backyard. It quickly became the number one most viewed image on the fairy web, knocking the one of Artemis sleeping to number two and the video of Juliet beating the stuffing out of a jumbo pixie from a few years ago to number three.


Well, what did you think? That's the end. I hope you all enjoyed reading the story as much as I did writing it! Thank you all so much for your endless support, I love you guys!

I do plan on writing more fanfiction, the next one will probably be an Opal-centric oneshot and that's all I'm telling you right now! Also please go vote on my profile for who your favorite Artemis Fowl character is. I'm really interested to know. Right now Opal is winning with one vote that I may or may not have cast.

Well, then goodnight everyone, I hope to hear your thoughts on this!

Sayonara, Sweethearts :-P
