Hello again people.
Thank you for sticking with this story and going as far as this.
The following Chap. I was going to base it in The Holy Trinity College in Dublin, but I don't know Dublin that well.
So I decided to base it in one of my favourite towns that I know very well – Coleraine!
Any way, of course I don't live near the causeway coast, so the information of the town is limited.
So don't go suing me if I got some things wrong.
Ok?
Right, on with the story
"No, go on ahead."
"Sure?"
"Yep."
Artemis and Juliet were in the town of Coleraine in Co. Londonderry, N.Ireland for a business meeting.
Juliet had decided to quit her wrestling career, after becoming Mrs. Paul Pratchett, and to focus on being a wife and mother. She had decided to help Artemis out on some of his meetings. Luckily she had only made it to a minor wrestler so not many people recognised her.
Today, Artemis had a meeting with one of the Universities professors of Technology and was eager to get home to Dublin.
The pair were on their way to the towns train station and were making their way past the Town Hall. Development had stripped the halls surrounding buildings of their historic identity, all except he bank. But the Bank of Ireland's trademark are old buildings so that doesn't count.
Artemis had to stop to tie a lace. He straightened up and...
Crash!
Papers went everywhere.
"Sorry." He muttered as he bent down again to pick the loose pages off the cobbles.
"Its okay," Said the young woman, also stooping down, "I should have been looking where I was going."
Artemis looked up; that voice was familiar.
He looked hard at her and she saw him squinting.
"Have you lost your glasses?" she asked, concerned.
"No." he said, still trying to remember where he had seen her before, "You just look familiar, that's all."
"Would it have been because we met under a full moon about six years ago at a school dance, Chicken Midwife?" she said, putting her head to one side, as she couldn't raise an eyebrow.
Realisation dawned on the young mans face, "Eden McGuire!" he laughed, "its you!"
"I know its me." She said "Well fancy seeing you here in Coleraine."
"Meeting." He said simply, "In the university."
"Alone?"
"No." he replied, "I had to stop to tie a lace."
"Ahh," She said, "the lonely life of a genius."
"It's not that lonely."
"Sure." She said, rolling her eyes.
"Shut up." He said. "Why are you here anyway? Thought that you lived in Tyrone."
"Did, Fowl, did."
"Ahh." Artemis glanced at his watch; "I've got time for a coffee if you want to catch up, though I know we've only spent about twenty minutes in each others company."
"Sure," she said, smiling, "love to."
"Great." Artemis's face cracking into a grin; "We'll have to catch up with Juliet though."
"Juliet?" Eden asked curiously, "you going steady?"
Artemis, familiar with 'Juliet speak', knew that 'going steady' meant going out with someone, and laughed. "No," he said, "Juliet's an old friend."
"Sure." She said sarcastically, then continued quickly at the sight of Artemis thinking of a comeback, "Shall we get going then?"
Artemis let the sarcasticness go and lead Eden towards the train station. She followed, after she had stuffed the papers into her shoulder bag.
Two cups of coffee and a cream bun each later, and the three were all best of friends. But then came the time for the Dublin train to leave.
"Do you really need to leave now?" Eden asked sadly to Juliet and Artemis, "Just as we've just began to have fun?"
Artemis and Juliet looked at each other. They both had the same look in both their faces.
"Sorry, Eden," Juliet said apologetically, "Paul's expecting me home. I haven't seen my little Enid all day."
"Same with me, Eden," Artemis said in the same tone of voice, "I've got to..." he tried to find around saying what he was actually doing, "I'm doing something tomorrow that's extremely important." He ended lamely.
"I understand, guys," Eden muttered, "I'll just go back to the house. Mr Macdonald's owed the rent any way. Bye then."
She turned to go, but...
"Come with us." Artemis blurted, "Plenty of room at home."
"Yeah." Juliet said excitedly, "We can have a girlie night in and find out more about each other."
Eden seemed reluctant, though her eyes had twinkled with joy and excitement when Artemis had said that; "Well I don't want to intrude..."
"You'll not be." Artemis assured.
Eden bowed her head, looking at her shoes, "Fine," she said, keeping the head position, but peeking through her overgrown fringe and smiling, "You forced me to."
The trio turned on their heels and made their way towards the station to buy Eden her ticket and to board the train to Dublin.
Five meters above, sitting on the wedding dress's shops sign. Captain Holly Short smiled to herself. Artemis had found himself a friend.
"Holly!" Root growled in her earpiece; "Get those Goblins over on the coast now! Or else I swear that I'll..."
"Right Sir," Holly interrupted, "On my way."
Well, she thought as she steered the Hummingbird Wings into the setting sky, some things never change.
She headed north to the popular Mud Man resort of Portrush.
Hello again!
Now it's the normal protacal again. You see that blue button down there? Yes? Right, press that and type what I need to improve this story.
To help you, here are some questions.
1) Is Eden Mary Sue?
2) Should I change her name? (Though it's unlikely that I will?)
3) Are Centaurs horse/human or horse/fairy?
4) Is there any actual description of Foaly in the books?
5) Do you like the name Pratchett (yes I did steal the name Pratchett of the very excellent author, Terry Pratchett. I don't have a good imagination of names)
6) Are you getting fed up of my constant questioning?
7) Should I be doing my Irish instead? (I think the answer is yes but my teacher's a cow, so do you think I will? No? right answer)
8) Should I get off this now?
Fine, fine! I'm going now.

LOLuv Soap Sudd XD
Lawyer- I hope you're happier now. Oh and Soap Sudd forgot to say that she doesn't own anyone in this Fic except Eden. She doesn't even own Eden anymore, since Eden decided that she's a real girl. She's at the plastic surgeon right now, getting her nose downsized.
Good day.
