The Bet!!!
A/N: Just because Tanya's friends are really nice doesn't mean that they're nice to everyone... (aka Artemis) Orlando is definitely in the next chapter, and he is also mentioned in this one, so - no worries! A very special thank you to Aliana-Fairy-Queen for the great ideas! Reviewers: If you have a good idea, feel free to send me an email. If it's a really good idea, you just might be in this story!!! (still in need of a new title)
Disclaimer: Hurry up already! Idon'townanything. There we go.
Tanya spent over an hour telling about how she got to Artemis's house and such. (She was interrupted a lot.) Artemis's martini was wearing off because he fell asleep on the floor of the guest 'room' as soon as they all sat down to listen to Tanya, so he can function a little more normally now. (A/N: Pity.)
"Now, anybody hungry?" asked Tanya. She didn't think that lemons and artichokes could satisfy her for too long.
"Starving!" said Emilia, and everybody else agreed - with the exception of Artemis who was still asleep.
"Let's order in. And, sorry Krystyn, but we can't order martinis to look at. Even though they are free..." sighed Tanya.
"How are we just supposed to order in," asked Daniela, "Or is this place magic?"
"Magic? Like Harry Potter?" asked Carlynda.
"No, just press this button and Tamma will come," said Tanya.
"Oh, FUN! I wanna do it!" said Krystyn.
"Can you say easily amused?" said Carlynda.
Everybody ordered hamburgers, lemon slices with a side cup of sugar, and Shirley Temples. Sadly, Tanya had to limit the intake of lemons on her part. Krystyn felt sorry for the cows and decided to get chicken instead. Artemis was still asleep.
During their meal, they decided to talk about their favorite person: Orlando Bloom. They were all gushing about how hot he was when Artemis woke up.
"Where am I?" Artemis asked.
"HANGOVER," all of the girls shouted together and went back to talking about Orlando.
Artemis blinked. "Wait a second, I thought that Orlando was a place. Not a person." said Artemis. At this, the girls went mad:
"You don't know who Orlando Bloom is?!?!?!?!" said Tanya
"That's like a sin!!!" said Daniela.
"He's the hottest celebrity around!!!" said Krystyn.
"Don't tell me that you haven't seen Pirates of the Caribbean or Lord of the Rings!" said Emilia.
"You must live a very sad life," said Carlynda.
"Well, I do not waste my time talking about frivolous matters over someone you will never meet. He is just a faze that you all are going through. Pretty soon you will forget all about him." said Artemis. Apparently, he had had a miraculously quick recovery - but a few hints of drunkenness still remained.
"I have to go to the bathroom!" said Krystyn.
"Me too!" said Carlynda.
"Me three!" said Daniela.
"I wanna come too!" said Emilia.
"You know there is a bathroom in this housey thing," said Tanya.
"No, I want to go to the really fancy ones inside," said Krystyn. Carlynda, Daniela, and Emilia agreed.
"Suit yourself," said Artemis who was disgusted by their childish behavior. So they all left, leaving Tanya and Artemis by themselves.
"What are you talking about?" said Tanya, "I'll never forget Orli! I'm going to marry him!"
"I bet he wouldn't even date you," said Artemis.
"Well, I bet you couldn't even get any of my friends to date you!" retorted Tanya.
"You're on!" said Artemis. Of course, he had never really tried to impress anybody, but he thought so highly of himself, and either he or the martini had him convinced that he could win over anybody that he wanted to.
"Rules?" asked Tanya.
"You can't tell your friends about the bet, other wise you automatically lose," said Artemis.
"Hang on, my side of the bargain is much more complicated! You have to give me some money and transportation," said Tanya.
"In that case, I get more time. How about a month per person? So that would be 4 months," said Artemis.
"And I get one month AFTER I find him," said Tanya.
"How much are we betting?" asked Artemis.
"I'll be you're servant for 10 years if I lose," said Tanya.
"And I'll give you half of the Fowl savings - that's more money that you've ever even heard of," said Artemis.
So that was that. They took care of making it official with signatures and writing down stuff in pen. Then, Artemis went to his room, and Tanya waited for her friends to come back.
She felt kinda sorry for them, but she also felt sorry for Artemis...
A/N: Do you like? REVIEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! pleez. Oh yeah, and in the Intro, the paragraphs about Artemis and Orlando are before the story starts, and the part about Tanya is about after the story ends...
