Chapter 3: The Talk and the Dance
Artemis was sleeping (at 7:30 because there was nothing better to do) when his mum knocks on the door.
"What?" Annoyed that his parents won't let him be.
"Aretmis dear, can I come in?" Ms. Fowl asked, and as Artemis was about to say no, she opens the door wide and walks right in and sits on the bed.
Artemis sighs knowing that this is going to be another 'growing up' chat. And like usual he was right.
"Artie dear, don't you want to hang out with kids your age? Make some friends?
"No" came Artemis' short and flat reply.
A bit taken aback "But honey, you really should at least try to mingle with people your age, just try not to intimidate them.
Suddenly Artemis got what Holly meant. It all came back to him. (A/N: Read the 3rd book). "Alright mum."
"Well, I just found this dance that is going on at some local roller- skating rink tomorrow night. Why don't you attend that?"
Figures she had something in mind already. "Ok mum, I will."
Artemis went to sleep not wanting to think about the next night. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
At the Dance.
Artemis was leaning against the wall looking pretty cool. Earlier that day his mum took him shopping (to his great embarrassment) and asked the clerk lady what today's boys were wearing. He tried on lots of clothes and bought them all.
So as Artemis was standing there, all pale, and suave looking, with his beautiful blue/gray eyes, and his usual scowl, he watched people walking around, talking, kissing, and dancing. As he was looking around he noticed a very big group of girls looking at him. When he turned his head to get a good look at them they turned away fast and started talking. This happened a few more times. Artemis was greatly confused (for once). He started to get interested in what these girls were thinking. (Typical boys, who wants to know what us girls think about, but can never get a clue). As he looked at them this one girl caught his attention. She was the smallest of the other girls, but had a great curve on her hips, thin, she had brown hair that was in a half ponytail which flipped at the ends. He couldn't tell her eye color but he guessed that that it would be a brown or hazel. If you could measure with your eyes (which Artemis could) she was about 4'10". Her outfit was a leopard print shirt that crisscrossed closed across her cleavage, and cropped jeans that hugged her in all the right places. Staring at her a shiver, which was a bit enjoyable, went up Artemis' spine through his arms, and legs, and into his chest out of nowhere. Artemis chose to ignore it. He turned away to watch the boring people out on the dance floor dancing. Then he felt the girls staring at him again. He turned around, once again and made eye contact with the smaller girl. Their gaze held while Artemis studied her face. Her eyes were a mixture of hazel and brown, her nose was a bit large in width, and her neck was long and slender giving her a very strong jaw line. Looking at her body Artemis saw big muscles on her arms and she had a great stomach. She's probably a gymnast, she is built like one at that. Just then she turned back around and started to talk and giggle with her friends. She didn't turn around again. Artemis took up all his courage and started to walk over to the group of girls. Just then some other boys walked up to the girls and started to flirt with them. Artemis thinking that they must be boyfriends, backed away. But as he watch he noticed how the girls tried to make the guys go away, and they would just start to hug and try to grind with them. Now he saw that they couldn't be boyfriends. This, angered Artemis greatly, but he didn't really know why for he didn't know these girls. The shiver went through his body again, but carried hatred for those boys along with it. Without thinking, Artemis walked up to the boys that were acting so rudely to the girls.
"Hey, what do you think your doing?" Artemis yelled to the guys as he marched over to them.
"We're hanging with our girls. Why do you care?" said the one that was hanging on the small girl.
Then the girl replied "We are NOT your girls Jake now please go away."
"What's that? You love us and want us to stay? Aww how sweet."
"No she didn't say that in the least bit. You must have a hearing problem. She said just the opposite. They want you guys to clear off. It seems that you're bothering them. I'd advise you to leave now. You don't treat ladies like that."
"Why I think this ghost wants to start a fight" said the tallest boy.
"I agree" replied a few of the other boys. Suddenly Artemis was grabbed by the gruff of the shirt and was dragged outside to the back. Kids started to file outside making a circle around the group of boys and Artemis. The small girl started begging with Jake.
"Please stop. I don't want you to fight. It will prove nothing." She started to pull on his sleeve. Jake pushed her off of him and threw her aside. "You'll be mine when I'm done with this new bit of trash hon." Jake smiled a sweet smile that would make most girls hearts flutter. Jake turned back to Artemis smiling evilly. Then the crowd started chanting "Fight, fight, fight, fight!" Artemis was in trouble. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Bye Foaly" yelled Holly as she walked onto the platform leading to the fire shoot (A/N: I don't understand any of this transportation stuff for fairies and stuff so you're just gonna have to work with me here).
"See ya Holly" called back Foaly.
Holly climbed into the lift and wandered into her seat. Putting on her seatbelt she started to plan. Earlier she and Foal had stored all the instruments she needed for her trip. Suddenly she had this strange sensation that she never felt before, but she still knew what it was. Artemis was going to be in trouble. How she sensed that she didn't know.
Staring over at the driver Holly called over to him "Well, come on then. Hurry up!" Holly had startled Mr. Driver out of his thoughts and he started the plane (told you I don't know what it's called). ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ A few minutes later ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
"Excuse me sir" Holly started. "Yes ma'am? You can call me Bob". "Well I was wondering, that is since I was fired and all, and I won't be allowed to do this once I'm with the mudmen, could I pilot the plane to the top?" Holly batted her eyelashes and pouted. She looked quite cute actually. I can't believe I have to make these girly faces. Ugh I'm going to have to wash very well.
Looking at Holly, Bob was over come with sympathy and a feeling that was like the mesmer but more natural. "Sure, don't worry I won't tell."
"Thank you so much! I could kiss you, but.I won't" she wrinkled her nose in jest.
They both started to laugh, when Holly jumped on top of Bob and started to snog him to death. First Bob was shocked, but then got into the action not wanting it to end. 'boy this girl is good' was the thought going through his head.
But at that time they were rolling around Holly grabbed and stole Bob's wings and invisibility shield. When she got off the wings, and shield were hidden in her bag. She went and took the wheel. When they both had on their seatbelts, Holly sped through the tunnel and out the top. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Artemis was actually holding out okay in the fight. He even got in a few throws. The girls were now cheering for him. Just then Jake kicked him where it really hurts. Artemis fell to the ground gasping in pain. Behind him he heard one of the girls run off crying.
"Wait Talia. Stay and watch me finish this ungrateful bastard off." Then Jake turned to Artemis and sneered "you are going to pay for making her run off like that!"
Artemis looked down, placed his hands to the left (next to his knee that was up) leaned forward and then looked into his attackers face. As he got back his breath Artemis growled "That was a very dirty blow, and I don't like people who play dirty."
Then quick as lightning, he lifted his right leg and swung it around Jake's legs, locking his foot on Jake's ankles and pulled him down. Jake, who was not ready for an attack, fell backwards and hit his head hard on the asphalt knocking him unconscious.
Artemis bent over Jake for a quick moment to check his pulse and make sure he was alright, before running off after Talia.
He found her out front on the curb. She had her elbows on her knees with her head in her hands crying.
"Um.are you alright?" Artemis asked with a bit of apprehension in his voice.
"Yes, though I should be asking you that same question. I thought you were done for." Said Talia.
"Nope, and I'm fine. By the way, I don't think I've introduced my self. I'm Artemis Fowl the second, but you can just call me Artemis. And you are?"
"Talia Loren Kassie, but you can just call me Talia or Tali what ever floats your boat." She replied, looking up and gazing deeply into his eyes. Their eyes locked for a moment before Artemis broke it off with a deep bow to her and said "It's a pleasure to meet you Talia."
