Danny continued chasing Pfeiffer until she finally managed to corner him in a closet.

She forced him to spit into a bowl, which was confusing to Artemis, until he saw what popped out.

Pfeiffer had in his mouth a soggy, silver necklace with a bent dolphin charm dangling off the end.

Danny shouted in triumph,

"Hah! I finally got it back from you, you little-"

She broke off suddenly when Eva called out warningly,

"Danny."

"Ummm.you little munchkin. How would you like to go for a walk with cousin Artemis, Pfeiffer?"

Pfeiffer inquired,

"Artis?"

Danny nodded eagerly,

"That's right, Artis."

Pfeiffer looked at him doubtfully,

"Are you sure? He's boring."

"Who? Artis? Naaa. It'll be a load of fun!"

"All right."

He agreed reluctantly.

Artemis felt his anger rising to the surface again and he squelched it hurridly.

He could not take any chances with this family, especially if one of them knew his story already.

Pfeiffer wolfed his food down chattering the whole time and still managed to finish before everyone else.

He annoyed Artemis to no end.

'When will that little ball of energy just shut up???'

He thought.

The day passed rather quickly despite the fact that Danny and Eva insisted on shopping all morning.

After about 2 tortuous hours of sifting through stores for bargains, Rod leaned in teasingly to Artemis,

"See what we men-folk have to put up with?"

Artemis nodded agreeably, noticing with horror that Danny and Eva had just spotted another likely store and were beginning to drag them inexorably toward it.
