Chapter one- Plane Ride

Artemis Fowl sat impatiently in his oversized plane seat, dearly wishing he never stepped foot on this wretched thing.

The stewardesses insisted on treating him like a child, bringing him apple juice and peanuts despite his glowering looks

that he occasionally shot at them. The stewardesses all had fake smiles pasted on their faces, making them look overly

happy. Artemis mentally pictured ripping their smiles off, and ligtened up momentarily.

He glanced over at Juliet, who was sitting straight in her cushy seat, glancing around the plane. One of the many

stewardesses walked down the aisle, pushing a cart of assorted snacks. Shortly looking at it, Artemis noticed how hungry

he really was. The last meal he that he had consumed was a full eight hours ago, and even then, it was only a mere snack

of shrimp cocktail. 'Psh' thought Artemis, 'It's highly unlikely that I'll actually eat any of this "food".' He stared at

the cart and noticed still water.

"Excuse me, miss," said Artemis curtly. "But I'd-" The stewardess turned and showed her highly falsified smile

"Yes, young man? Would you like some more apple juice?" said the stewardess in a high, cheery voice that Artemis swore

was fake. Artemis glanced over at his sippy cup of juice and snorted.

"Actually, I'd prefer if you'd stop treating me like I am naught but a mere child. I don't drink apple juice. I'm a full

fifteen years old. You don't need to treat me like I'm a fifth of that," He cleared his throat. "What I would like," he

said, putting emphasis on would, "is a bottle of that cold still water." He pointed over to the exact brand he desired, and

frowned. "No, no, I do not want a sippy cup," he declared as he took the prespiring bottle of water. "Thank you, that is all

I require" he said and turned his attention to his water.

"My, what a smart little boy!" squealed the stewardess as she pushed the cart along. Juliet coughed.

Artemis reached for his PowerBook, placing his water aside. He flicked the power button and waited a few minutes for it to

boot up. Twiddling his thumbs, he turned to Juliet. "Juliet, things will be...interesting where we're going to be. Supposedly,

as you know, I'm going to be visiting distant relatives. They're a bit...different," Without explaining himself any further,

Artemis turned his attention to his laptop. His wireless internet provider was asking for him to verify the login password.

Typing in "mechanicalanimalsinawhitecoma", the connection instantly was made. His various instant messanger clients launched,

and Artemis cruised over to Internet Explorer.

"It's not like you to relax, Artemis. Are you alright?" asked Juliet, glancing at the web forums Artemis was cruising. He

typed something into the address bar and pointed a finger to it. It read "trying not to draw attention". Artemis cleared that

as Juliet noticed a few passengers staring at Artemis. Apparantly, his attitude towards the Stewardess caught a few peoples

attention, so Artemis played it cool. Plugging in a pair of Earbuds into the headphone jack, Artemis pretended to be

listening to music. The stares generally faded off of Artemis, and he sighed.

"Nosy fools. None the less..." said Artemis, glancing at his buddy lists. He had it organized so there were seperate sections

for different buisness contacts, and none were logged in. Artemis closed his PowerBook and sighed.
