A/N: Hey ppl! Yet another disasterous story. ^_~

Disclaimer: I do not own Artemis, or any of the characters mentioned in the books. I do own Matt and David, though, so if you want to use them in one of your stories, please ask in a review, and I'll let you know.

Chapter 1: Leaving Home

Artemis smoothed his hair back, and did up his shirt before running down the stairs and out the door to where his best friends, Matt and David, were waiting, along with his parents, and the Butlers. The car was packed, and everything was ready to go. Only one thing left to do: say goodbye.
He slowed down, and walked casually up to his parents, smiling. "Mother, Father? I'm ready to go." He embraced them, then ran over to the car and jumped into the front seat.
Matt revved the engine, and the last thing Artemis remembered was him yelling, "Don't worry! I'll be back for the holidays!" After that, his thoughts were drowned out by the noise of some loud punk music that David had just put on.
Ah...college life.
