Author's Note:

Hey! It took an unusually long time for me to update this chapter, but I just couldn't decide what to do with Cy (you guys keep calling her that...I think I'll make it her nickname!) all of you said that she should be back to her being good, well, I thought about that...but I thought of something else...don't worry, she's not bad anymore...she's good, but...not all of her returned...

Find out what I mean and read the chappy!

====================================

Fowl Manor

For the third time in one day, they ended up in a heap of tangled limbs.

Artemis stood up and brushed his suit, he looked around, they landed in his room.

Everyone was standing up, with the exception of Juliet and Memento.

Butler carefully picked up his sister, "Could I have the permission to tend to my sister, Artemis?"

He nodded, Butler exited the room.

Memento was still on the floor; Artemis faced the fairies, "Could you place her on my bed?"

Holly smirked, "Why don't you, Mud boy? Or are your arms to weak for such a physical activity?"

Artemis glared, and then sighed. "I take you're not going to lend me your assistance?"

Their smirks answered that question.

He walked towards her, hesitated for a moment, and carried he gently, she was abnormally light.

He felt like holding something extremely fragile, as if a mere breeze would break it into a thousand pieces. He walked to the bed and laid her gently, covering her up with the quilt blanket.

Root, Foaly and Holly watched the boy with mouths open, who knew the boy could act so...caring?

Artemis noticed this and arched an eyebrow, "Honestly, Captain, Commander and Foaly...I thought you would've thought differently about me."

Holly snapped out of it, "Right, that would be the greatest mistake we will ever make."

"You're wounding my heart, Captain."

Foaly chuckled, "As if you have a heart."

Artemis glared at this then smiled, "Let's have a chat."

"Yeah, Fowl. I have a few questions to ask you anyways," Foaly said.

Artemis sat on a luxurious soft sofa, facing the fairies. He decided to make the first move. "I thank you for your invaluable assistance in the rescue of Madam Perfecto...or Mori," he added uncertainly.

The commander rolled his eyes, "As if you cared about Fectnoperi's life."

Artemis was shocked by this, but did not show it. "Are you sure, Commander?" he said in a steady voice.

"As sure that I am a fairy and you're a Mud boy," he responded. "Well, I guess it would disappoint you if I said I do care for her," he said, shrugging.

Holly snorted. "So what if you just said it without meaning a word you say?"

Artemis closed his eyes, trying to find his inner calm; it took a great deal of it to stop himself from shouting insults in every direction. "I could give you proof."

Foaly raised an eyebrow, "What proof can you give, Mud boy?"

"She is the adopted daughter of my ancestor, Auster' se Fole'e." he said.

Artemis received quite a look of bewilderment from his friends.

Finally, Holly got over it and asked, "How are you really related?"

"She said she was a daughter of a relative of Auster', when her parents died she was put into his care."

Root gave a sigh of relief, "That's good, at least she didn't give Fowl any magic to inherit or anything."

Artemis took a deep breath, deciding if he would tell them that she did give something, he reached to the conclusion of... "Actually she did give something..."

Root's eyes widened, while Holly's narrowed, Foaly was merely listening.

He pressed on, "Because she grew up in the care of my ancestors, every close relative was affected, it's nothing really, we just gain profit more than normal people."

"That's all?" Holly questioned.

He shook his head, "No, the son of Auster' asked for knowledge, and she gave him just that. She said that's the reason why I have such a high IQ."

While the fairies processed the unbelievable information they were given, and before Root could burst a blood vessel, a groan drifted in their ears. They all turned to the bed, Memento was stirring. She didn't open her eyes, she squeezed her eyes tightly and turned on the bed as if having a nightmare.

Artemis took a step forward cautiously, not favoring any unexpected surprises. She moved again, sweat began to trickle down her face, and her breathing became short gasps, that's when they began to get worried.

"Err...Mud boy? Is this normal?" Holly asked uncertainly.

"I don't know..." he answered. "Foaly-

He didn't have the chance to finish his sentence for that's when Memento did display something strange.

Her previous black garments transformed into...casual clothing; a pair of tight jeans, and a t-shirt. Her face also changed, it was slight, but very noticeable; before, her face radiated confidence and strength, for some reason it disappeared, and was replaced by something Artemis can't recognize, her usual vibrant colored hair, slowly blended into the shade of deep brown-violet. After the brief change, she opened her eyes, it too had changed, not the color, for it still retained its black tint, the deep and wise intelligence that once looked at them calmly before were tired, blank and confused...

"How are you feeling, Madam Perfecto?" Artemis asked politely.

She looked at him, more confused than before. "What?"

He raised an eyebrow at her, "Are you alright madam?" he rephrased.

"I'm fine," she answered. "But...who are you?"

They stared at her, she looked down.

"What do you mean, girl?" Root growled.

She bit her lip nervously, "Why can't I remember?" she asked herself, though they heard it all.

"You can't remember what?" Holly asked, though she could almost hear her likely answer.

She forced herself to look at the strangers in front of her, "Anything..." she whispered.

Complete shock occupied their faces. No one knew how to react, all they did do was stare.

"Are you friends?" she asked timidly.

Artemis broke of the shock and answered her, "Yes." And then he turned to Foaly. "Why is she like this?"

Foaly shrugged, "I don't know...maybe I should run a test on her."

Artemis looked at Memento, "We need to run some tests."

She looked at them fearfully, "What kind of tests?"

Sensing her fear, Holly said, "We want to help you, the cute little centaur there will just see what's wrong with you."

She relaxed and said, "Okay, but who are you again?"

"I'm Holly Short, call me Holly. The red faced man is Root, the boy there is none of your concern."

She blinked, "Then why is he here?"

Artemis stared at her, she believed that?

"I'm Artemis Fowl the Second, and that diminutative lady is lying, I am of your concern."

Holly glared at the boy, why does every human consider her diminutive? Foaly didn't want to be left out, "I'm Foaly, and I'm the cute little centaur who's going to help you."

She looked at them with slightly confusing eyes, they couldn't determine if she's understanding them or if she has absolutely no clue of what's going on. "Okay, but, uh...what's my name?"

"You don't remember your own name?" Artemis asked coldly.

At this, she stared down once more. The boy seemed to be angry at her from the very beginning, had she done something wrong?

Artemis regretted the tome of his voice after he saw the look on her face, he almost apologized...almost.

"Your name's Cyrenela Arlene Perfecto."

She considered it, for it did seem familiar to her ears.

"Alright, when could you run some tests, pony?" Root said gruffly.

"As soon as possible."

Root grunted, "Alright, we'll take the shuttles."

"No, wait." Artemis said. "Bring the equipment here."

Root looked at him with suspicion. "Why Fowl? So that you can sneak away some parts to be used for your schemes?"

Artemis shook his head, "Really, commander. I am merely proposing that we perform the tests here considering the fact that Foaly's computers and gadgets are destroyed."

Foaly almost cried at the memory, "my...babies," he sniffed.

"Oh yeah...that's not good, Haven could be in complete chaos. Those computers is what keeps the city running."

"Meaning?" Artemis inquired.

"We're vulnerable, I'm going to have to stay there to keep things in line, I'll just let Foaly come back with your equipment."

"What about me, sir?" Holly asked.

"Your coming with me, so...Foaly will be the only one coming back, since he's the only one who knows how to work those...thingies."

"Why thank you, JULIUS, I never knew you prized my abilities," Foaly said arrogantly.

Root fumed, "NEVER EVER CALL ME JULIUS DONKEY! YOU SHALL REFER TO ME AS COMMANDER LIKE EVERYONE ELSE! UNDERSTAND?!"

Foaly wasn't affected by the yelling, but Cyrenela was.

She was startled by the commander's outburst that she shot out of bed and ran to the nearest person from her...Artemis.

Artemis felt a pair of hands take hold of his arm, he turned to see Cyrenela clinging fearfully, looking at Root yelling at the top of his lungs, he felt his mouth turn into a smile.

Meanwhile, Holly noticed this action and felt herself smile. "Getting ideas, are we Mud boy?" she sneered.

Root and Foaly turned their gaze towards them, Artemis glared, while Cyrenela remained in her previous state.

"You're speaking rubbish, Captain."

Holly just grinned and said, "Come on, Mud boy. I saw you perfectly clear, you were looking at her and smiling."

Root and Foaly had smiles on their faces.

Artemis glowered, "Holly..." he said dangerously, however, Holly wasn't affected.

"Yes? Artemis?" she said innocently.

Cyrenela was lost, what are they talking about? That's when she realized who she was holding, the outburst of Root scared her so much she headed immediately for the person near her, not caring who that person is.

She with withdrawed her hands quickly, muttering, "Sorry..."

Holly's grim grew wider, "Well? What are you going to say, Fowl?"

Artemis fiercely tried to keep himself calm, "I have nothing to say, other than that she keep herself away from me..." Cyrenela was hurt, she hurriedly straightened herself up and walked briskly towards the doorway, all eyes followed her, before exiting the room completely, she said, "Fine, I will stay away from you."

After she left, none spoke for about fifteen seconds.

"Nice going, Mud boy," Holly mumbled.

"Your saying that this is my fault?" Artemis demanded.

"Well, let's see...yes!"

Artemis was about to make a snappy answer, but Root interrupted. "I think we should set this little conflict at another time."

The two glared at each other for a moment then nodded.

"Good, now...it would take us about more or less an our to reach Haven and back again, you'll just have to wait for Foaly, me and Short are going to stay to keep the city in order, got it?"

They nodded.

"Alright, come on. There's no time to loose."

The fairies got up and proceeded to exit the door, Holly let herself be left behind. "I suggest you apologize to her, Fowl. You two not getting along won't make things better, besides, you owe her," she didn't wait for a reply, but went away quickly.

Artemis stood there for a moment, thoughts racing across his mind.

One voice edging him, the other preventing...

Should I apologize?

No...

But I do owe her, my life...

This has nothing to do with that! Y

es it does...

NO

Yes, she didn't do anything wrong after all

Yes she did...

What?

Nothing...all right...

Artemis rubbed his brow, how could the simplest thing be so complicated? With a sigh, he exited the room.

Cyrenela felt herself fuming, how dare that boy treat her like that? She doesn't even know who she is and he just...ugh...

She tossed her hair back, who was she? What happened to her? Why was she like this? Too much questions occupied her head. She tried to calm down, things couldn't get any worse right? At least those short people are okay. Things would be fine...

That's when Butler suddenly sprang into view, if you had Butler as your friend you wouldn't mind him one bit, you might even say a greeting. If you're Butler's enemy you'd probably be running as fast as your legs could carry you.

Now Cyrenela is Butler's friend, bit considering her condition now, she was quite startled by his appearance, who wouldn't? Butler on the other hand he noticed that she looked irritated about something so he decided to ask her how she felt, and to thank her for saving his charge's life.

As he moved towards her, smiling, Cyrenela was frozen with fear.

"How are you, madam?" he asked politely.

Cyrenela had her mouth open, "Uh..." then she fainted.

Butler's quick reflexes kicked in, and he managed to catch her before she landed on the ground.

"Butler?" Artemis's voice said from behind him.

He turned around, holding the girl's figure in his arms.

Butler opened his mouth to explain, but Artemis said, "No need for any explanation, Butler. Not you, anyways, come." He said as he walked slowly back upstairs.

"Oh, and bring Juliet too, would you?"

Butler nodded, but looked at the sleeping girl. "Err..Artemis?"

"Yes?" he answered without turning back.

"Uh, will I have to bring her with me?"

At this Artemis turned around, he looked at them for a moment and sighed. "All right, Butler. Give her here."

Butler laid her gently on Artemis's arms, he noticed that Artemis stiffened. With a nod, he took of to wake Juliet.

Artemis slowly made his way up the stairs, taking it one step at a time, she wasn't that heavy, but he himself wasn't that strong.

Near the middle of the staircase, something really unexpected took place...Cyrenela woke up.

For what seemed five seconds she didn't really realized why she was moving up a staircase, she turned her head and saw Artemis, who seemed to be concentrating to not trip or fall with each step. Now, after that misunderstanding they've been through, she wasn't exactly thrilled to have that boy carrying her.

"PUT ME DOWN!" she yelled.

Artemis was shocked and missed a step...you know what happened? They went tumbling down the floor....good thing they weren't that far up...

Author's Note:

Well? Is it good? I just thought that if she returned back to her old self mostly, things wouldn't be really exciting, so what you read was what I did! Do you like it?

Reviews:

I read your stories, take my word, they are good! Honestly, I read about 5, I think, sorry I just reviewed one, but when I was about to make a review on the rest the internet connection got cut off, I ran out of time, and we just bought the new internet card today.

It's really irritating when every time the Baudelaires find a friend, they loose them in such short notice, they always get separated from them at the end of the story, bad luck...

Oh, do you think I should make a new enemy (along with the old ones) or a new ally?

TNX for your reviews!

P.S. Noticed the chapter's title? (chapter 7) () just a sign of gratitude
