A/N: Hi minna-san! I didn't put the disclaimer 'cause you know I don't owe nothing... the AF characters that is... Anyways, welcome to Chapter III of my fic (Stupid chapter title!). Artemis and Angeline recruited 8 kids with different... uh let's just say attitudes. Okay, on with the story... _____________________________________________________________ ***Chapter III: The new and troublesome recuits***

The first day of the Business (Angeline decided to have a fund raiser to donate to orphanages around the country.) Was a success but having a dozen of children around the manor was well... quite too many and Artemis wasn't much of a big help yesterday. So now, Angeline decided to recruit eight (eight is still many, in Artemis' opinion.) kids at a time, so they can look after them easily.

The next day, the manor was like an open house, with its front Iron Gate widely open to let the parents in to drop off their kids. And of course, Angeline and Arty waiting outside for the registering. There was a long conference table just in front of them. Artemis was looking quite glumly while his Mother looking cheerful, ready to greet the customers.

Suddenly, a car entered the manor grounds, It stop into the front were Artemis & Angeline are. Out came a six-year old boy running around with a toy airplane. Then his mom came out the driver's seat and approached the two. "Um... Hello, I received a flier downtown and it said you actually have a daycare." The lady said. (Butler was pretty fast in handing down those fliers, thought Artemis.)

"Why yes. Yes we are. I'm Angeline fowl, and Welcome to Fowl manor daycare." Angeline said. "And I see you are going to drop your little boy here." Angeline waved at the boy."Hello, there." Then the little boy just smiled.
"Yes, of course. My appointment is in this morning. By the way, this is Christian, he's five and he likes airplanes so much." The lady said. "He believes, he'll be able to fly when he's older." Whispered Christian's mom to Angeline. "Well, kids and they're imaginations." Angeline replied. Suddenly a beeper rang, "Oh, I better get going." Then she turned to her son."Christian, mommy has to go now, so be a good boy to Mrs. Fowl. Okay, sweetie?" "Okay." Christian replied. She kissed her son on the cheeks, headed towards her car and drove off.

"Okay, Christian. Why don't you stay here with me while I gather some new friends of yours." Angeline said sweetly. And obediently, the boy followed. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

After a few hours of recruiting children, they finally got their minimum of eight kids.
But some other Children where, hardheaded. Like the boy called; Andrew, who likes sticking himself to anything he grabs on (like, he won't let go of his mommy's arms and the banister at entrance of the manor). And the bully-type kid named; Lance who kicked Artemis hard on the knees.
There were also annoying kids. Like Alexandra the little Miss Know-it-all (like Artemis). Cody, the kid who thinks he's Robin (Batman's sidekick) and wouldn't even take off his costume. Lori, the sweet-toothed (like's sugary sweets), that's why she's always hyperactive. And Terri and Kerri the troublesome twins who always argue with food, toys and other stuff.

Artemis couldn't believe he was going to help baby-sit all these... kids! Boy, this is going to be a long day! And believe me this is going to be Arty's big challenge, ever. _____________________________________________________________ A/N: woohoo! Chapter III is finally finish! Whatcha think minna-san?
