A/N: I got three reviews on one chapter in just two days! Joy of joys! I
just spent the last seven hours building pretty much the entire set for our
play clue. It's a highschool class. All of the other techys only did
three hours. I built three rooms, painted five, and did a lot of odd jobs.
I better have an honerable mention. Something like, "Before we start this
play, I would like to thank Boogalaga for spending so much time on our set.
She did most of the work, and deserves a great round of applase." (Sigh)
But a techy is a thank-less job.
Disclamer: I'm not even going to say it. This I something that would be followed by someone telling me "Thank you captian obvious."
Elvenstar(): I am so glad that that I have managed to make Artemis ecseptable. (sniff) I usually do big fancy costumes for the fun of it. But this year was so busy! (heart felt wails fade into the distance)
Orchid the Jupiter Adept: What ever made you come up with that screen name? I'll make sure to mention that you love Foaly when he comes back into the story.
AuroraRose1: I love your screen name. My sisters said that I should have been Dandelion Dew, but I like Boogalaga better cause there is a story behind it. Boogalaga is actually a word, want to here thins history and definition? You are a constant reviewer, thank you. (Gives cookie) "To show my gratitued." I'll have Holly in chapter 5 or 6, I think. I love Christmas also, I was beginning to have the I-want-christmas-now sindrome, so I wrote about it. It works. I don't know if Mary-Sues are all that bad, just over done. Even worse is Holly Arty romances. She's like a hundred years older than him, and still going to out live him, like eww. Okay, please tell me that didn't come out as ditzy as I thought.
"So, where am I going shopping?"I asked in an excited voice.
"That's up to you," Artemis said, sounding like an amused big brother or something.
"Lets go to the mall, any clothes I get will have to be wear and tear- able."
"Butler?" Artemis said, his tone a mix of questioning and ordering.
"Way ahead of you sir." Butler responded cooly.
"So, what are your plans?" I asked Artemis. Lounging against the car door as we sped by trees and children.
We now leave Cerinthia's perspective for a moment, so you can see who she really is. Not how she considers herself. And so the author can experiment with her writing styles.
Certhia languidly leaned against the car door. Her being suggesting a calm readyness.
"I am going to go with you as you shop, to make sure you spend enough money to get a real wardrobe." Artemis told Cerinthia. Cerinthia immediately stiffend almost imperceptivley before relaxing languidly angainst the car door. An almost imperceptible grin touched Artemis features for a momment. Before gently flinting away before it could be properly noticed.
Almost cat like in her grace. Cerinthia arched an amused eyebrow at him, "I thought you had some important errands to run?" She asked in a falsy uncaring voice.
"I'll just drag you along with me."
"Oh joy," she replied, her voice tinted with a slight amount of sarcasm, but more amused than anything else.
Artemis let loose a dry chuckle, his eyes twinkling with an inner amusment. "I thought you'd be more excited, you get to see the famous ARTEMIS FOWL on his secret errands."
Cerinthia sat up straighter, her every fiber suggesting her enjoyment in their light hearted teasing. "On second thought, I just can't wait. Will he go shoppong for his famous black suit, or will he do something even more mysterious." She said, as if playing the narrator in a murder mystery. Her voice hushed, yet excited. "Or does he in fact go somewhere no one would have dreamed of." She said, switching personalities in momments, one second a narrator, the next a news brodcaster. "Does he in fact go to an amusment park on his 'errands'." She said in a secretive voice, an impish grin lighting her face.
Artemis just gave her a quietly amused look. As if she was a young child he found interesting enough to keep around.
"We're there." Butler told them as the car rolled to a stop.
As Cerinthia smoothly stepped out of the car, Butler walked around and opened Artemis' door. Artemis immediately walked around the car to join Cerinthia as she stared in shock at the huge building. He looke down at her, his face alight in amusement.
"It's so big," Cerinthia managed her uncoinches piose leaving her in her increduility.
"It's just a mall," Artemis said carelessly while walking towards the front doors. He suddenly stopped and looked back at Cerintia in amusment before she ran a few steps to catch up.
"It's not a mall, it's a palace." Cerinthia told him in a hushed voice. Her attitude sugesting entering a sacred church, or qiant library as she passed under the double doors.
"You may have five hundred dollars to spend." Artemis told her carelesly. While carefuly positioning himself to see her reaction.
She immediately stopped in her tracts, her mouth open in her shock. "Please tell me you're joking." She said sharply.
"No."
"You can just throw away that much money on clothing!" she told him angrily.
"It's for presents and toothbrushes and so on, also." He told her, adapting the attitude of a big brother telling his younger, stupider, sibling something they should have known long ago.
"Oh, never mind." She said immediately, her attitude of one chastend. Cerintia quickly headed into the first store she saw.
Artemis and Butler shared an amused glance before following her. Artemis came in to her eyeing an indecent skirt, sorry I meant scrap of cloth. "You're not wearing that." He said, immediately heading over to her and taking the "skirt" out of her hands.
"What, hey!" Cerinthia replied. Gracefully flowing into a postion that screamed her indignancy.
"You are not wearing that skirt." Artemis said, his voice deep and frightning, as he stepped close to her and looked down at her. As if to say, you WILL do as I say.
Cerinthia backed down in shock. "You thought that, I can't believe." she tried to say. Her voice trailing off indignantly. "What skirt!" she yelled at him in her fury. "That's not a skirt, IT'S A SCRAP OF CLOTH!" her voice rising in volume, before turning on her heel and looking at something decent.
"I can't believe, the idea. I was looking at it cause I was shocked that anyone would wear that." She muttered to herself as she went through the clothing on a rack. Her very being raidiating her discontent, while poor Artemis stood off to one side holdong the offensive skirt, his face of one in shock.
Butler walked up to Artemis and laid a hand on his shoulder in a fatherly way. "She's not the kind of girl that would wear that Artemis." He informed him gently.
"I know, she just.scared me for a second. The way she was looking at that skirt, and I couldn't think of her wearing anything like that." He said in a stund voice. He then shook himself and put the skirt back on the rack before heading over to Cerinthia. Artemis gave Cerinthia a ten foot radiace for the rest of the time spent in that store.
By the time they had reached the third store, Cerintia headed over to Artemis. "I'm not going to bite your head off." She told him impatiently. "I was just..,insulted that you would even think I would wear that." Her last words quiet and almost apologetic. "Cause I wouldn't, I'm not that kind off girl."
"I know, Butler said the same thing." He told her quietly, giving her a considering look.
Cerinthia looked over at Butler, and gave him a thankfull smile. He returned her a reasuring grin. "Well, I got to go try on these clothes."
Artemis watched her walk over to the dressing rooms, a confused look on his face. Butler walked over and stood beside him. His presence somehow comforting Artemis.
A half hour later they all left the Mall with Cerinthia's clothes, amenitys, and everyones christmas presents.
"Artemis, how many time do I have to tell you not to look at the presents!" Cerintia told him sharply, while giving him a gentle kick in the shins.
"I wasn't," he told her. Carying himself like one who's dignity has been injured.
"Oh get off it, you where too."
He just looked at her, as if to say, look at how patient I am, I haven't hurt or murdered you yet.
"Will you quit giving me that look?" she asked him in an annoyed voice.
"What look." Artemis asked in shock.
"The, I-know-so-much-more-than-you-and-am-being-incredibaly-patient look." Cerinthia replied, crossing her arms and pouting a little to show her annoyance. All it did was make her look like a little kid throwing a temper tantrum.
"Well, it's true." He told her in a brotherly tone.
"Uh! You're insufferable!" Cerinthia told him.
"If you two don't stop fighting I'm going to pull over this car and leave you by the side of the road!" Butler yelled back at them.
"You wouldn't do that to Artemis." Certinthia told him, her voice slightly tinged with doubt.
"No! But I'd do it to you!" he yelled back.
Cerinthia immediately shut up and leand against the seat, accmpanied by Artemis' laughter. "He'd do it!" she said in defence.
"I know he would." Artemis laughed.
"Yeah well." But she stopped when she heard Butler gently growl.
A/N: Well, how was it, did you like it? (said while jumpin up and down hyperly.) I'm going to put in Holly, Root, Foaly, ect. in the next chapter. What do you think their characters are? Like how Artemis is cold and distant, UNTIL he gets to know some one, then he's friendly and a very likeable person. I need to know your apinions because I'm not sure of what their characters are. Please help me. I staid up till ten, and I didn't get enough sleep all this week, so you better apreciate this!
I eagerly await your next chapter.
