Chapter Five - Recall
Disclaimer: Do I really have to write this in every chapter? Oh well, here goes.
I own Artemis Fowl! And the whole world! Mwahahahahah!
*Lawyer picks up cell phone threateningly*
Ok Ok so I don't. But I do own this story's plot which is currently nonexistent. :) And my weirdly named character.
Ok now without further ado here goes my fifth chapter.
*crosses fingers* I hope someone out there will read it!
Note: I believe this just might be funny. :D

"Uh, um," said Artemis.
"Um, uh," said Butler.
Artemis's father looked very mad. "Was this another of your grand schemes?" he asked accusingly.
"Actually, Artemis wanted to turn the basement into a storage room, so I took some things down there. And closed the door, which he had conveniently forgotten to put a doorknob on," said Jennica. She hoped it sounded at least a tiny bit believable.
"Uh, yeah, what she said," said Artemis.
"And who are you? Artemis, will you please introduce your, uh, friend?" said Mrs. Fowl. She always like to know who her son was making friends with. Typical.
"Jennica, a friend from, uh – "
"The neighborhood," finished Jennica. Apparently she was a much better liar than Artemis was.
"Right."
After a long moment, Mr. and Mrs. Fowl believed this rather unusual explanation and went off. As soon as they were out of earshot, or, rather, when they thought they were, Artemis's father said, "Something is wrong with that girl, I tell you. Did you see her ears?"
"Now, honey, don't judge a book by its – "
"Ears?" asked Mr. Fowl.
"Right. For all we know, she could have a medical condition."
Jennica burst out giggling and so ducked under the table as quick as she could.
Artemis looked thoroughly astonished. "What - why did you cover for me?" he asked with wide eyes. "Oh, that's because I wanted to kill you myself," said Jennica. Artemis immediately called "BUTLER!!!" as loud as he could possibly do.
Butler came rushing in to protect his employer, forgetting his sunglasses in his haste. Which was another big mistake, of course. Juliet trailed along behind him.
"Humans, when you hear the words 'good night', you will fall fast asleep and not wake up for a half hour," Jennica said layering her voice with the hypnotic mesmer. Both nodded happily, as if in a dream. Then they came to and realized where they were.
"What's the problem, Artemis?" asked Butler, as if nothing at all had happened. "She just threatened to kill me! Help!" he said, with not too much hope, for he knew they wouldn't be able to protect him anyway. And sure enough, when they ran to impress upon their guest just how powerful they were, she said 'good night' with a smirk. Immediately they both fell down. With quite considerable effort Jennica managed to drag them onto the living room couches.
Artemis looked about ready to faint. It was not often that he became so much as a little bit scared.
"Please take off your sunglasses," said Jennica. For this memory-transfer procedure Artemis had to be listening very closely, which was not something that he did often. So she decided to improvise. "No way!" declared Artemis, deciding that a four-foot tall girl was no match for him.
"Oh Mr. Fowl!" called Jennica innocently.
"Okay, okay, I get it," said Artemis, taking off his sunglasses. "And those reflective contact lenses," added Jennica, and Artemis did so, reluctantly. Apparently he was more scared of his parents than having his mind controlled. Go figure.
"Do you remember anything about the LEP? Foaly? Commander Root? The C Cube? Or, perhaps, Captain Holly Short?" asked Jennica, trying her best with the mesmer. It didn't come very easily for her, for it required a very low bass- kind of voice, and hers was very high.
"No. Are they on some TV show?"
"Okay, Fowl, I'll tell you the whole story. Now listen up and believe me. Got that?" "Mmm, hmm," said Artemis. For some reason, he seemed very odd not glaring at somebody at the moment.
And so Jennica explained the whole story of his meetings with the People, taking out the Artemis Fowl books for help. It was very long, thought Jennica, considering it was only two years of memories. It seemed to take longer than that to tell it.
When she was finished, she stared at Artemis hopefully. Once his brain processed all this information, all his memories came flooding back like a hundred thousand rivers at once. "Wow, thank you so very much! I almost lost the whole fairy world to me for ever!" he said, unnaturally happy.
Without thinking, he lifted Jennica up and danced around the kitchen. She wished she had brought her digital camera. Blackmailing videos fetched a very high price on WeBay (the fairy version of E-Bay.)
"Oookay. Awkward," she said, and thankfully Artemis set her down. Suddenly he remembered his latest scheme. "I, uh, well, I'm, uh, very sorry," he said, truly looking apologetic. That was a first. "Will – uh, would – you ever forgive me?"
"Well — " thought Jennica. "Okay. Got any more lobster?"
Halfway through her Maine Rock lobster, she remembered something. "I'm sorry too. Well, uh, you see, um, your bank account ---- "
"Oh, I already know I'm missing a little."
"Well, I also ordered some other stuff — "
Artemis looked pretty worried. "How much for everything, exactly?"
At that moment, Butler and Juliet woke up and rubbed their eyes. "Uh, five hundred thousand," said Jennica and cringed.
"Five?" said Artemis. "Hundred?" said Juliet. "Thousand?" finished Juliet. And they all fainted upon hearing the amount.
"Oh well," said Jennica, and went and got a pizza pie to eat until they woke up.
**************************************************************************** ** A/N Well, what do you think? * holds breath until turns blue* Was it sort of funny? * crosses fingers yet again* PLEASE review!!!!!! ;) Be honest please, do you think she is a MS?
