A/N: Hello. I am now back to my regular schedule (updates at least once a week) of updates! Now let the chapter commence! I do not own the Percy Jackson or Artemis Fowl book series. Enjoy!
Although Annabeth didn't particularly find waking up the other demigods her definition of fun, she- rather- thought Artemis's reaction was very humorous and decided to have a blast while waking up the other (sleepy) demigods.
"Wakey, Wakey!" screamed Nico, bursting through the door and clapping his hands.
Jason still lay asleep in his bed. Unperturbed by "urgencies" for once in his life, he continued to sleep like a rock.
Nico frowned, but Annabeth stepped forward while pushing Artemis into the action. Even if this was going to fail, she wanted at least some satisfaction out of this "waking up ceremony".
"Good morning, Jason," mumbled an unhappy Artemis.
Unfazed by Artemis's lame comment, Annabeth simply scooped up one pillow and chucked it at Jason. "Wake it!" she yelled.
Jason finally woke up- but not without slamming into Artemis. He jumped up and- drowsily- gripped his hands on Artemis's neck while still barely conscious.
Annabeth muffled her snicker into her hand as she pried Jason's hands off Artemis. She truly thought it was hilarious, but Artemis obviously didn't think the same way.
Artemis -instead- huffed indignantly, marking the start of Annabeth's happy-gleeful-day.
Waking up the Leo had been just as exciting- even for Artemis Fowl, himself.
Leo had woken up early and scurried about, getting a sprite mighty miffed. The sprite had chased Leo all morning (since the time he had woken up) around Haven city and back into LEP Headquarters and by the time Artemis had come to the rescue, the sprite's complexion was a very vivid green and his buzzing wings were shaking with anger.
"It ain't fit to have more Mud People in Haven!" exclaimed the sprite, grumpily flying away from Artemis.
Leo was sporting his famous smile, as well as a very red, embarrassed face.
Artemis turned to face Leo. "Had I not said- and I quote- 'the LEP is after, you'?" said Artemis smugly as Leo caught his breath.
Leo ignored him, and followed the others as they went to wake up the remaining demigod: Piper.
When they had awoken Piper, she woke up regularly, much to Leo's dismay.
Annabeth headed to the tech room, Artemis by her side. Her face was bright, and she felt like she was bouncing with excitement. Waking up the other demigods had felt like a sudden shot of coffee, and she felt better than she had before.
She looked toward Artemis, hoping to be able to read through his normal nonchalant expression. Today it was- the same, but Annabeth could tell there was a slight smile upon his face.
Annabeth nearly laughed right then and there. Normally, a smiling Artemis was quite rare- unless of course he had just schemed against you or made the best witty/sarcastic comment against you. Either item was bad for you, but in this case, Artemis expression was clearly not one of the two.
Walking toward the tech room gave Annabeth a feel of- importance. The floor squeaked beneath her old tennis shoes, and the almost eerie silence made her sense the most utter importance of this mission, as quests were nothing to be joking around about.
Annabeth straightened herself as she watched Artemis's retina being scanned. Next came his finger, and he placed his on an elite gel-printed scanner.
The door opened with a quick swoosh and a blast of cool air. Artemis escorted the more than awed demigods into the room.
Leo was quick to react. "W-o-w..." he said, tracing his fingers on a metal pattern. "This stuff is just as great as the stuff at Bunker 9! The design and handiwork."
Piper (and everybody) else, ignored Leo. "So... Do we get to use the dragonflies?"
Artemis shook his head. "No. You see-"
Annabeth cleared her throat. "Would it be okay if I explained instead? I would like to have some fun, too. After all, you have been explaining for the majority time."
Artemis cocked his head to one side and considered it. "Fine. I will allow you to do the explanation."
Smiling, she continued where Artemis had left off. "The dragonflies are built by fairies for fairies. The wings are built to serve for the fairy's frame and features, and cannot deem the needs of us humans. We are just too big-"
"However," interrupted Artemis. "The dragonflies are applicable with human terms- they will just not function as smoothly. Yes. It can lift up much, much more weight. But to use the dragonfly for humans, that would definitely not be advisable."
Piper shifted her weight. Annabeth could tell Piper thought it had been much like a "one-sided conversation" to Piper's perspective. "Thanks."
"No kidding," mumbled Jason, who was keeping tabs on a meddling Leo.
Artemis nodded silently and traipsed over to where Leo was. He pushed him aside and looked over the items and grabbed them. One by one...
Once he had come back, Annabeth felt agitated and jittery. Being an ADHD demigod certainly did not help her hyper mode, either. She assumed he had taken his "sweet time" on his task.
Annabeth knocked the thought out of her head. If there was one thing she didn't like it was assumptions... And Seaweed Brain leaving her.
She put her outreached hands in front of her, waiting for the pile of technology to fall into her arms.
They eventually did and Annabeth felt a surge of happiness flow into her. She noticed the same with the other demigods, who were practically bouncing on and off the walls (Leo).
"WOAHHHH!" said Leo, slapping Nico (awesome) high-fives.
Jason had a wide grin on his face. "Isn't this neat, Pipes?"
"Yeah." She paused for a second. "Don't call me that! First Leo, now you..."
Annabeth chuckled and led the (over excited) demigods to change into their own technologically advanced suits and items.
A slight grin appeared on Annabeth's face as she realized she would probably look like a female heroine saving the day. In the words of Leo Valdez himself: That's so awesome!
A/N: This chapter seemed rather inconsistent and lame. Sorry. I hope I'll do better next chapter. I hope you enjoyed it and come back soon!
