A/N This is my first story, hope you like it!! Please review, but not if
you are going to say something along the lines of corny and not funny! Not
too optimistic, am I ? :-D
Chapter One - Mission
Jennica was slightly nervous. That didn't happen very often. Being taller than everyone in your race can have that effect. You see, Jennica was a fairy, and fairies were about three feet tall, on the average. Jennica was four foot one. Even Commander Root never dared argue with her.
Jennica's mission was to find Artemis Fowl and make him regain his memories of the People. And then convince him to help save the People.
My gosh, thought Jennica, they call this a mission? No fighting or saving anybody. How boring. So then why hadn't anyone else volunteered? I mean, how scary is a 13- year old? Still, the video message warning stretching three minutes long wasn't helping much. And, look what had happened to Holly, and she had been the best officer. Though no one could ever get her to admit it. Well, she thought, if Artemis ever tried anything like that, he would find himself in a county hospital sooner than anyone would think.
So, with that thought in mind, Jennica stepped up to the front door of Fowl Manor and knocked loudly three times.
By way of response, a computerized camera leapt out of the door. Ricocheted, more like, thought Jennica, whom it had hit squarely on the head.
"Watch it!", she said to the machine.
"State your name," it said, ignoring her. "Uh," said Jennica. She couldn't decide whether to use her real name or make one up.
"Invalid response," said the camera, knocking Jennica in the head again.
"Jennica," she said. "I come in peace. But if you don't stop hitting me in the head, I won't."
"State your mission," it said again. Jennica, whose head was sore by now, was on the verge of breaking the camera into pieces. What was this, 20 questions? "That is confidential," she said. "And if your camera here knocks me out, Fowl, I'll sue you! Do you hear---"
A pale, smiling teenager opened the huge front door. "Nice to meet you too," he said.
