Four more chapters to go! (As in Chapter 25, but Part 26)! Message to reviewers:
dada-grl: Thanks for the review, here's chapter 21!
PeanutButterII: I don't care, Trisha!
Here it is, Chapter 21 of my first ever Artemis Fowl fic:
Chapter 21
§§§§
Artemis yawned and at up when he noticed another form next to him. Suddenly, all of last night's events flashed back. He groaned and put his head in his hands. Butler was going to kill him. The form lying next to him also stretched and sat up. Juliet looked tired and her hair was a mess, though the Jade ring was still primly braided in her hair.
"Artemis, what are you—" As realization dawned on her face, she looked down and covered her naked chest quickly.
"I can't believe we—" she started.
"We did…" Artemis reassured.
"We'd better get you changed and in your room before Butler sees you…" Artemis grabbed his clothes.
"Yeah," Juliet agreed.
After a few minutes of sorting heir clothes, Juliet looked around, to make sure she hadn't forgotten anything, and then she gave Artemis a quick peck on the cheek, and sneaked back into her bedroom. Artemis watched her go, leaned against the railing of his bed, and sighed.

"Everything ready, commander?" Holly turned to Root.
"Yes, armies at ready, bombs in place, all we need are those mud men," Root replied.
Holly sighed and pressed a button, "Juliet, Butler, Artemis…? Wake up, we're ready to start the attack…"
There was no reply.
"Last chance…" Holly rolled her eyes.
"WAKE UP YOU BLOODY MUD PEOPL!" she yelled in her highest voice.
"Holly—" Foaly started.
"Sorry Captain Short," an annoying chime of Butler, Juliet, and Artemis's voice replied.
A few seconds later they stumbled in.
"Good," Foaly continued, "Now, to business, the attack is ready, now all is left is you, Captain, there…"
"Gone," she was gone in a heartbeat.
All the People in the office waited patiently till Holly's helmet appeared with the others. Then Root turned to the Chairman, who nodded, and grabbed the speaker.
"ATTACK!" he cried loudly.
Juliet watched solemnly, praying that it would work as planned, not able to tear her eyes away form the screen. The fight was so brutal, so… (A/N: Let me give you a word: Lord of the Rings) horrible. All of them flinched as elf by elf, fairy by fairy, goblin by goblin, was killed. Even thought it was obvious the Fairies would conquer, a sob escaped Juliet's lips.
"It's alright," a voice whispered as a reassuring hand entwined with hers.
Juliet smiled and squeezed back, "I know…"

Ella: Aw… so sweet!
Juliet: Yeah, but did I really HAVE to sleep with Artemis?
Ella: yes, it makes it easier to make a sequel.
Artemis: A SEQUEL!?
Holly: You heard her, Fowl, I sequel!
Root: Oh great!
Foaly: YEY!
Butler: Who cares?
All: Have a nice day!
