Disclaimer / Note:
Thank you thank you thank you for the great reviews!! *drowns in pieces of paper* *sees AF cast standing nearby* Me: Heeelp! Cast: No, not until you say it. Me: But - but- oh all right. I don't own anything Artemis Fowl. *pulled out of pile of papers by cast* Me: But I will! I'll get you people in the next chapter! Mwahahahahahah! *thrown back into pile by cast*
Happynutcase: Wow you like the name of my character!! I can't believe it :) Yes I won't make them fall in love unless I'm inspired. *bright halo flashes above head* Oh the MS test it doesn't work! I tried the link in somebody's review and it had an error. What is the URL? I would need that ;)
Ally : Wow thanks! I will continue! I always wanted a street named after me! But are you sure you can do that??
The Toaster: I am trying my best to make her not a MS. But I just can't change her name I know it's weird!! Her last name has something to do with plants.... well, a little at least :) What is an origonal character? Do you mean original? She won't have a super power and I promise she won't have purple eyes and beautiful shining hair that seems to change colour and was really sleek . *cough* no way!! Thanks to Tailana(Tails and SpikeTV58 too. And.......
I'd like to thank the Academy!!
Artemis: My gosh, how dramatic. Juliet: How touching. Root: Just get on with the story, will ya? Jennica: Yes, don't you want to hear about my shining hair and purple eyes *cough* Artemis: How did I get stuck with her in this story?? Butler: Please, can we get a move on????? Artemis: Whatever. She still owes me 100 thousand pounds!!
**************************************************************************** *
Root and Foaly were on conference in the appropriately named conference room. The commander puffed on yet another noxious fungus cigar. Artemis was glad to be back at Fowl Manor and not in his vicinity.
"So, the gang's all here," said Root. "And guess what? I don't like gangs."
"Look, I could excuse Artemis for the clichés because he was mind wiped, but not you!" said Jennica, who apparently had something against saying anything twice. "Er- right. Now, the reason I called this conference--- " began Foaly on the other screen, who was unfortunately sitting right next to Root.
"Is because you need me to help you yet again," sighed Artemis. "What would you do without me?"
"Hey, wait just a minute, human–" began Root angrily.
Holly appeared on a third screen and attempted to calm Root down before he exploded, then turned to Artemis and said, "You owe us, human."
"So do you!" declared Artemis. "I helped you with the Koboi incident. That's not fair!"
Foaly snorted and inadvertently choked on his beetle juice. "Like you would know anything about fair."
"And then we helped you find your father and get the cube back," finished Holly.
"Um, er - right," admitted Artemis. "Is this going to be dangerous?"
Foaly started to explain what was happening. Apparently a crazed villain had cut off all of the power to Haven. No shuttles, television, radios, computers — or cell phones, either.
Jennica spit out her Coke all over Butler, who had just bought another new suit. White again. Which was, as he now learned, a bad idea. "My cell phone?!" she questioned, shocked.
"Yaay!" said Artemis, involuntarily abandoning his proficient vocabulary.
"LISTEN! OUR CIVILIZATION AS WE KNOW IT IS IN DANGER! WORRY ABOUT YOUR CELL PHONE LATER! FOCUS HERE!" bellowed Root, looking very much like a steamed lobster.
"Right," said Artemis as everyone took their hands off their ears. "What do we do?"
Foaly scratched his hairy belly. "Well, it is you, technically. Seeing as we can't get to the surface any time soon.... Er, the plan is simple, really, just break into this lowlife's secret hideout - which was not so secret as soon as I hacked into — "
"Get on with it!" said Root while impatiently tapping his fingers on the table.
"Right. Break in and switch the power back on. And while you're at it, you could knock this creep out until we get there. Easy."
Jennica looked worried. She wasn't the breaking-and-entering type of person. And, anyway, it was forbidden to enter another's dwelling without permission. "Couldn't Mulch do it?"
"Still in jail, and unfortunately he was in a terrible, um, encounter with a couple of goblins," said Holly, cringing. "And we do sort of have an invitation. Hear for yourself."
A menacing voice crackled on the speakers. "Let anyone come in here. It will make no difference in the proceedings. They won't make it out, anyway," it said, sounding strangely like Artemis. That is, before he laughed his classic evil laugh. Artemis would never do that in a million years. Unless, of course, thought Juliet, someone would pay him.
"See?" said Foaly. "All taken care of. Now, we're in a time stop, thanks to my -" Root sighed loudly, but Foaly paid not the slightest notice. "– revolutionary technology, so you have until tomorrow to work out your ingenious plan. You'll work together, right? That means you too, Jennica and Artemis."
"But---" protested Jennica.
"But---" protested Artemis.
"Please?" whined Foaly. And a centaur whining is something to hear. "We are all counting on you." Great, thought Jennica. No mission will ever be as easy as it seems. And neither would this one, as she was about to find out.
At that exact moment, Mr. and Mrs. Fowl walked up the stairs. "HUMAN!!!" shouted Holly and all three immediately switched off their monitors.
"Artemis, dinner!" said Mrs. Fowl, walking into the room. "And bring your friend here, too."
"Er - I don't have to wear a dress or anything, right?" asked Jennica, who looked even more worried now than about saving the world. Go figure.
No one said anything, and Jennica took that to be a yes, you do. With a great sigh, she followed Juliet to her room to find one. Preferably something expensive.
Mr. Fowl walked up to get a closer look at her ears, and then followed his wife out. On the way to the dining room, he whispered, "I tell you. Something is definitely wrong with that girl's ears!"

A/N hope that was good! sorry I took so long to update. It would have had another part, but I didn't want to make this chapter so incredibly long. Will have next chapter next week because school is off!! YAAAY! :)
