A/N: Welcome to Chapter seven of Arranged Love. As it happens, I released this chapter really quickly because of two reasons. One, I no longer have writers block and it didn't take that long to write. Two, the next few chapters are bouncing around inside my head, and they wont leave me alone until I write them. So, here is chapter seven, enjoy!

Disclaimer: For some reason, I own a lot more then usual in this chappie. I own Adriana's friends and family members, Adriana, and of course this plot. But I still cant have Artemis or Holly or anything else.

Fowl Manner, 6:00, One Week Later

Artemis stood stiffly in the ballroom, looking around at everyone. So many people were there. Mainly Adriana's family and friends. He sighed inwardly, looking over at his parents. They were with Adriana's mother and father. Her mother was tall and dark, and rather pretty. Her father was short, fat, and balding. It seemed that arranged marriages were a tradition in her family.

Mr. Fowl glanced over at his son. He frowned slightly, then nodded at Adriana, who was chatting very fast in Spanish with a group of about five girls. Forcing himself not to groan, he walked over to them.

Adriana was talking in an annoyed sort of voice. "...Y él nunca sonríe, ¡y él rechaza tener una conversación decente conmigo. No sé si me voy a casar con el, Realmente no ."

The girls nodded sympathetically.

Artemis rolled his eyes, then stepped forward so he was next to Adriana.

Her friends looked at him in the deepest loathing. She turned and smiled slightly. "Chicas, saluden hola a mi esposo."

Each one muttered "Hola" except one, who glared at him and said "Hola Diosa de pollo."

He frowned at her for a moment, then looked back at Adriana. "Vamos. Debemos bailar."

She nodded. "Si."

The girl who seemed to hate him more then the rest grabbed Adriana by the arm. "¡No! ¡Pollo vayase!"

"Claudia." Adriana said soothingly, pulling her arm out of her friends grip. She stepped towards Artemis, and together the walked onto the dance floor and began to dance.

"Why did that girl call me Goddess of Chicken?" Artemis asked after a few minutes.

Adriana sighed. "Claudia. She has been my best friend for many years. She thinks you are to blame for the marriage." Her English had improved greatly, although she still had a strong accent.

He nodded thoughtfully, and they both fell silent for a while.

Finally, Adriana spoke again. "Have you found a way to stop it yet?"

He looked at her in shock. "Wha-oh. No. I haven't. Why do you ask?

She shrugged slightly. "There is less then a month until the wedding." She looked around thoughtfully. "I am feeling a bit dizzy. May we go outside for a moment?"

He frowned at her. She didn't look at all faint. But he nodded and led her out into the night.

She smiled slightly once they were a little ways away from the house. "Thank you. I cant stand being in the same room with them. Not…well, never mind."

She looked out into the night, then frowned. "Whats that?"

"Whats what?"

"That shimmer." She took a step forward, then was knocked backwards off her feet.

Holly appeared, one hand was curled into a fist.
