Wow! Finally, chapter 9! I almost got chapter 10 finished, so expect it by tomorrow morning (EST time). Anyway, message to my reviewers:

dada-grl: Okay, this is about the Just A Maid one, just to answer your review, well, since you haven't read the whole book then you may not know this: okay, I was making the fic that Artemis Fowl the first, which is Artemis's father, falls in love with Angeline (who I made a Butler just to make it more fully). That was before Artemis the second was born, Kathleen and Galileo are my made up characters. Just so you knew.

Identity99: Well, here's your action and Juliet/Artemis fluffiness just as promised, chapter 10 will be even better! Jdada-grl: Really? You check every 5 hours? Well, that's good, here's your chapter 9!

Maddi-Linka AKA trisha: Well, FYI, Trisha, I TOLD you it was gonna be short! Anyway, I hope your mood gets better!

Well, here it is, Chapter 9 of my first ever Artemis Fowl fic:

Chapter 9

§§§§

Artemis steered left and right, his eyes searching desperately for any sign of a single golden sparkle.

"Maybe we should go lower…" Juliet suggested.

Artemis sighed and did as Juliet said. Nothing. Juliet rolled her eyes and got out of her seat.

"I'll go diving, then," Juliet said, putting on her diving equipment, "maybe I'll find something that way…"

"I'll go with you, then!" Artemis demanded.

"You have to steer the sub," Juliet said, "someone had to, you know that I can't!"

Artemis glared at her, muttered something, and took a seat. Juliet was about to leave when Artemis stopped her.

"What is it?" Juliet turned to him.

"Just-just be careful, alright?" Artemis gave her a concerned look and held her hand.

Juliet stared as him and squeezed his hand, "don't worry, I'll be careful… for Butler's sake…"

Artemis quickly let go of her hand and looked away, "of course, for Butler's sake…"

Juliet leaned over, gave him a quick kiss on the cheek, and left. Artemis looked at her leaving form, touched the spot she had kissed, and smiled slightly again. Then he snapped out of it and turned to the controls, following her ever move.

§§§§

Juliet swam out, feeling a cold rush flow through her body. She shivered a bit and began swimming, feeling the Sub 2056 close behind.

Okay, Butler, Juliet thought searching, time to prove that you're as good as your brother…

Juliet swam deeper, nearly knocking into a wall. Ten minutes passed and Juliet hadn't found a single thing. She sighed and decided to swim in another direction when she saw something in the corner catch her eye. It glittered slightly and glowed. Juliet swam toward it.

§§§§

Artemis followed Juliet's form around with the sub, extremely bored.

What if we don't find it? What if— he thought as he saw Juliet swim to a corner.

"Maybe she found something," Artemis muttered to himself, steering the submarine in Juliet's direction.

§§§§

"Did they find anything, Madame?" Melerasso asked entering the control room.

"I don't know, it seems the Butler girl is swimming, toward something," Levinia muttered, staring at the screen.

She had plugged in a camera in the Sub 2056 so she could make sure they weren't escaping.

"Madame, I think you should take a look at the—" Melerasso started, glancing at the glass orb.

"Melerasso, wait a minute!" Levinia said, walking closer to the screen, 'I see something…"

§§§§

"Well, it seems like Juliet has found something, commander," Foaly said.

"Really?" Root walked to Foaly, "can you see what it is?"

"In a few klicks," Foaly answered, doing yet another scan.

"Well, do you know?" Root asked a few seconds later.

"Now, I do," Foaly said, observing it, "It's…"

§§§§

Juliet swam closer till she was a few inches away. She mentally gasped as she saw a golden crystal looking object.

Wow, she thought.

As Juliet closed the gap between her and the Jewel, she saw a red light flicker and something in front of her made Juliet gasp.

They were eels.

§§§§

Wow! I can't believe I wrote this either! Eels? How did I ever think that up? Anyway, please review, I don't care if you're a registered user or not, guests can do a review too, you know! Well, chapter 10 will be up my tomorrow! I'm almost done with it too!
