Conspiracy. WAAAH! I started this in AUGUST! OMG that's a LONG time ago.

Epilogue
Only a week after his departure from America, Artemis Fowl was walking around outside Fowl Manor, comparing the orchards and gardens around his home to the scenery of Middle Earth. His parents had been ecstatic about his return, and for once he was thankful for their care. How much the cousins had shown him!
In his hand, he held a half-finished letter to them.
*
Dear Tessa, Jennie, and Alison of course:
I'm settled in the Manor, more content than I was ever before. Butler is euphoric that no harm has come to me. I'm not sure if I have the nerve to tell him the truth.
If you ever come to Ireland, please don't give my adventures away to the others in my residence. They would believe us all stark mad. I understand that nothing can prevent Tessa from raving about Frodo, but even so, it's better that my parents think HER stark mad instead of me as well. . .

He grinned. She would throw a double duck fit when she read that.
As he mused over things to write, Butler drew up behind his employer. "Problems, Artemis?"
"No," the mastermind replied absentmindedly. "Everything's great."
Butler glanced at the boy. He was smiling into the distance, quite oblivious to the manservant's presence. "Are you sure you're all right?"
Artemis snapped out of it. "Yeah, I'm fine."
The man frowned. Since when did Artemis say "yeah"? "You aren't acting normal."
Laughing, Artemis led his friend into the gardens. He'd never noticed how colorful Fowl Manor blossoms were before. . .
Butler was still studying him. "Master Artemis, what really happened when you ran away?"
Artemis seemed not to hear. He was staring into the vegetation, having spotted a flicker of movement among the flowers. There was a humming noise, loud and birdlike, before he caught a flash of orange feathers.
A moment later, the creature came into view. Memory flooded the mastermind as he stared into the beady black eyes of a Rufous hummingbird. He could almost see Tessa and Jennie scrambling for a closer look at this miniature wonder of nature. . .
Wondering if his charge had been overeating caviar, Butler waved his hand slowly in front of the boy's face. Again, Artemis was brought back suddenly to the real world.
"Yes, Butler?"
The manservant repeated his question. "What really happened when you ran away?"
Whistling, the hummingbird darted away. Artemis stared after it.
"Butler?"
"Yes, Artemis."
"You wouldn't believe me if I told you." Turning, the mastermind made his way back to the Manor, with Butler staring after him.
A continent away, Tessa and Jennie were beginning their own letter.
It was summer. Life was good.
