Disclaimer: I do not own Artemis fowl blah blah blah…. Just read the fic :)

"Artemis!" Butler said as he put both his and Juliet's luggage down.

"Thanks for letting us crash here, we really appreciate it. I can't believe that they forgot to reserve a room for us at the hotel." Juliet said.

"No problem. I bet my parents convinced you to invent an excuse to stay with me." As usual Artemis was right.

"I'll just unpack my things in my room." Butler said

"Certainly" Artemis said. "It's at the end of the hall." Artemis was left alone with Juliet.

"Don't cha just love Sunday mornings? They're always so peaceful." Juliet was trying to make small talk. She had always known that Artemis was fond of her and this made her feel very uncomfortable around him.

"Sunday mornings are just like any other morning except that they are on a Sunday. Which by the way is like any other day except for the fact that it is called 'Sunday'."

Juliet laughed. "That's the Artemis I know. You haven't changed a bit."

"If you would like to put your things away I could indicate the way to your room."

"That would be great." Juliet was relieved that their so-called casual conversation was over.

Artemis wasn't quite sure how he felt around Juliet. He seemed to be more like the old Artemis. Who had begun to diminish ever since he came to Connecticut. He was starting to become strangely …human. Or in other words, emotional. But Juliet had reminded him of home, of who he used to be, of his parents and of his past life. It was like reading a chapter from his own felonious past.

The three of them decided to have lunch in a nearby restaurant. It was a quaint little place. Where people who are rich but don't have to flaunt that fact go. That was the difference between this restaurant from the dozens of Hollywood restaurants which become in and out of style so quickly that when you end your meal it's already on its way out.

"So artemis, how are you doing in Yale, exceptional I suppose?"

"Butler, if there were a word for more than exceptional, that is how I would be doing."

"Genius?" Juliet offered

"Why yes." Artemis replied. And everyone laughed, despite knowing that it was very like to be true.

Artemis felt so secure in the presence of his friends. He felt like he was 14 again. It was like nothing had changed between them. But just being near Juliet was intoxicating for Artemis. It was overwhelming. The passion he felt for her and the urge for them to be something more than just friends.

"So my wrestling match will be tomorrow at 10 pm. You wanna watch?"

Artemis considered this. He would have to sit one of those uncomfortable chairs and hear people scream and shout. Did he really want to be in such an uncivilized place? Would he do it for Juliet?

"Oh come on Artemis, it will be fun." Juliet said batting her lashes, "I need all the support I can get."

"Well, I do have to make up for not being there during your first match." Yes he would do it for Juliet.

Just then, Artemis had received a call from Giselle. He excused himself from the table. Not really wanting to hear what Gem had to say right now.

While he was away, butler talked to Juliet. He knew where this was headed. Artemis would never under any circumstance attend a wrestling match. Unless of course he fancied Juliet

"Don't encourage him, Juliet" butler began, "he could take it the wrong way you know."

"Please… I just need people cheering for me." Juliet replied, "It gets me hyped up."

"Artemis may do a lot of things for you but he will not cheer, scream or shout."

"You never know. He just might do the unthinkable for a Fowl. Anyway he seems to have changed a lot. " So, Juliet had noticed. "He seems more… human. Like he cares… he's more vulnerable. I like it"

"That's what i'm afraid of." Butler said.

Meanwhile during Artemis' cell phone conversation with Giselle they were discussing something entirely different from what Artemis had expected.

"Artemis! Uhm…Look, some people and I were planning to drive to this spot where you can a get really great view of the city. It's supposed to be really nice. Wanna come?"

"Giselle, I don't think so. Driving to a place just to see the view seems like a complete waste of time." Was Artemis turning her down?

"Oh… well it's not really that far. But if you want we can just hang out at the café near Yale." Giselle seemed to be really persistent.

"I have company right now so i'm not sure if I can make it… maybe some other time?"

"Oh…ok."

Artemis couldn't stand it. She seemed a little bit too eager for him to turn her down.

"Giselle. Wait…"

"Yes?"

"Why don't we meet at the café at 3? How does that sound."

"Great I'll see you then."

Artemis didn't get it. Was this a date or a friendship thing? Did she ask him out or did he ask her? Dating was just too complicated and meaningless to worry about. Right now all he needed to worry about was lunch.

Author's note: ok if you guys didn't get it Giselle and Gem are the same person. Gem is merely her nickname.:) please review I want AT LEAST 10 reviews for this or else I might not post the next chapter. Bwahahahaha…….. im being evil…. Sorry :)
