Chapter eight, The Mall and church

At the mall, Artemis must have gone through a hundred stores, but it was worth it, they compared notes and it turns out, she is the notorious Jean Goodall. (When she wrote for textbooks, science magazines, ect.) They ended up buying at least a hundred dollars in books, a new telescope, and spending at least two hours in the pet shop. Who knew that dogs could be so interesting? Then he took her to the science center where they watched Lewis and Clark. Why they had a show on the discovery of America in Ireland, we'll probably never know. Then they went home (Artemis drove) and played with, fed and watered the animals, and Mrs. Fowl fed Erin. Without going into great detail, when a baby is in need of milk, a woman can give it milk, even if it's not her child. To tell the truth he was quite fond of her of Laura Jean. And she had only been here for a week. That night they made dinner again. This time, white rice and soy or sweet and sour sauce, tofu, and sweet potato casserole.

"Laura Jean I want you to know you are always welcome here." Then he leaned in closer and said "especially if you want a job as my personal cook." Them he grinned. "Just kidding, but you are an amazing cook." She nodded and signed 'thank you, I got the recipe from a biker dude in a pink tutu swinging from a rope, Tarzan style, during the filming of Bikers gone bad. ' Artemis laughed once then translated. "She said thank you, I got the recipe from a biker dude in a pink tutu swinging from a rope, Tarzan style, during the filming of Bikers gone bad" "Oh, good looks and brains, you'll go far." Artemis senior said. Mrs. Fowl elbowed her husband.

The following morning Artemis and LJ were both up at seven thirty, LJ feeding ArtyKins and Chickadee, and Artemis watering and tending to his garden. At nine they were on the road and at eleven they were at a church. As he was preaching, Artemis felt a gap in his heart fill. Needless to say, he got saved that day.
