Disclamer: Well it's not like they're yours...

Meanwhile…..

Poor Jessica was busy contemplating the irony that seemed to surround her life. Yet again, she was sitting next to the scariest person on the plane. He had teeth like a cross between a horse's and tombstones on steroids. His beard……..we're not going to go into that. She sighed and settled in with her ipod. A little 'Bowling for Soup' never hurt anyone.

Artemis, however, was busy. He was being forced to go shopping with his mother to get 'young and hip' things for the exchange student's room. His mother stopped at a particularly hideous orange rug.

"What do you think Arty?"

Artemis tried not to shudder. "I prefer the purple one." Anything to get out of this store.

"What cha reading?"

Jessica tried not to twitch. It was bug beard man. "'Got Fangs'."

The man (?) nodded. "Vampires huh?"

"Yes, they give them a funky name, but same thing." 'Why can't I shut-up?' Jessica though desperately.

"Weird name?"

"Moravian Dark Ones." (A/n or something like that…)

Tomb-stone tooth laughed. "Reminds me of the Fowl boy." Jessica tried not to fall out of her seat. (Luckily, her seat belt was properly and securely fastened.) If Artemis associated with people like beard boy she was so doomed.

Artemis was happily working on his computer. The torture his mother called shopping was over. They got a few apparently girly things. The room still probably looked foreboding. 'She was only going to be here a few weeks. Then, she'll go home and everything will be normal.' Artemis reassured himself.

Jessica got off the plane and grabbed her bag. She went down the escalator to where everyone was holding signs. Wouldn't you know it? Her name was on a sign held by someone who could make Vin Diesel look like a mama's-boy. She stepped into the limo, wondering why the heck she signed-up for this anyway.

Butler watched the girl. She was defiantly worried by his appearance.

"Hello!" Her cheery greeting interrupted his musing.

"Hello," he said, never letting his eyes leave the road, or the rearview mirror. The girl, not knowing he was looking, put her hands in the air and stared up at the heavens mouthing 'WHY?". Butler almost laughed. Almost.

Artemis shook the girl's hand after she walked into the house. Her palms were sweating. Artemis gave her his best vampire grin. "Welcome."
