Fowl Manor

Meanwhile, Athena was having a worse time compared to Artemis. She was sure that the Fowl heir had everything except a life and good CDs. She was forbidden by Artemis himself to step into the TV room and watch anything but the Discovery Channel, Animal Planet, National Geography or educational programs..

"Maybe Juliet has some CDs I can borrow," she said to herself. "No, she'll look at me like I'm a freak. Stupid Artemis."

She stood in the foyer as she snapped down the communicating device looking doleful at her misfortune. She walked up feeling the rail of the stairs and clumsily missed a step and went tumbling down. "Ouch," she winced. Another thing which was she had just remembered, she was not to inform anyone in the house that she was there unless it is to reassure Artemis' neglectful and yet overprotective parents.

Forgetting about a relaxing walk or a full visual tour, she recomposed herself and zoomed upstairs with a speed that the body she inhabited could never have managed which she unfortunately found out the hard way by taking a nasty tumble which she was quite used to actually. Referring to her map, she walked down a hall and stood before Artemis' door. The beam made a hasty scan, careful not to overlook a detail during it's haste. Of course the DNA was accepted and the door opened by itself.

"Creepy," she breathed. She didn't even notice the beam of light. She was just a typical non-observant girl I suppose.

"Hey Artemis," Juliet called. The clumsy brunette made a face, you know the type when you have just tasted a lemon without sugar, though personally I don't think anyone would want to. "Wanna go shopping? Or else you'll be left alone here."

"No I do not want to go shopping," Athena called back in Artemis' bored tone while a vampire smile was spreading on her face. If Juliet was going and she was alone she could do plenty of things which Artemis would never do.

"You sure you don't wanna come?" the still perky Juliet asked knocking the door. She knew she was no longer allowed in 'master' Fowl's room unless she was supposed to be cleaning it.

"Positive," Athena confirmed pretending to be busy behind the monitor. Naturally not knowing about the system since she fell asleep during Artemis' speech on the way home. It was normal of him to do it really, not that she would know since she and her memory changed a lot. Like the fact that she was clumsier.

"Whatever," Juliet replied.

The doors were slammed shut and the purring of the car engine was heard as the automatic aluminium. "Oh yeah," Athena cheered. She ran downstairs immediately and dug through the fridge.

"Caviar, caviar, caviar and more caviar," she sighed. She wrinkled her nose in disgust. "Is it all these people eat?"

She was exasperated by the time she reached the chiller. There was absolutely nothing normal in there to eat. Her face had an expression of disgust every time she dug to the back of the large refrigerator.

"Baskin Robbins, eh?" she smiled. She picked up the tub and dug in as usual. Pizza or no pizza she was starved. She refrained herself from that action, Artemis would never do such a thing. She heaped up two whole spoonfuls of ice cream in a small bowl, then added more and more and more. She sprinkled multicoloured sugar sprinkles and made the ice cream look good. Now she had to finish the ice cream before Juliet came back.

She slid into a chair in front of the TV and plopped the guide beside her. Basically she switched through every channel until she settled on Nickelodeon.

"Hmm," she began, "a remote that allows you to sap yourself into a show. Interesting." She was watching the Fairly Odd Parents movie called 'Channel Chasers'. Not that she hasn't seen it before that is. She just never noticed.

A burp was heard minutes later as Athena clapped her hand over her mouth and mumbled a small, "excuse me."

The movie ended and Athena flipped it to MTV when they were playing Skye Sweetnam's video 'Tangled Up In Me'. She ended up jumping up and down on the leather sofa in rhythm to the music. It was only after the song finished that she realised what a terrible mistake she had made.

"Oh man," she whined. As she stared at the cushions strewn everywhere on the floor her communicator beeped. She flipped the channel to 'Fairly Odd Parents' and muted it. She loved that wacky TV show but then again, she loved every TV show. In short she was a TV addict.

"Let me guess," the annoying male noise began from the communicator, "you have messed up my house and there are now cushions strewn all over the floor."

"Lucky guess," Athena murmured.

Artemis smirked. "Not a lucky guess. I just know you too well."

"We've practically just met dimwit."

"Ah, ah, watch it. You're treading on dangerous ground calling me a dimwit. We were mind wiped of each other you moron."

"I can see why. You must have been wiping the fun out of me. Why did you call?"

"Attitude check," Artemis said dryly. "I wanted to make sure you were following my rules. Why are you watching that positively illogical show."

"FYI, that show happens to be really funny," Athena protested. "I'm bored stiff." She grinned as she un-muted the show.

"Wanda!" Cosmo's voice came clearly from the monitor.

"He eats with his feet," Artemis pointed out dryly.

"Who? Cosmo?" Athena eyed in amusement at the green haired fairy on the big screen TV. She suddenly realised something as a smirk crept on her lips. "You, Artemis Fowl the Second watch 'Fairly Odd Parents'?"

Artemis rolled his eyes. He had a look of disgust and horror on his face as he made his statement as clearly as he could, afraid that Athena would play with his words. "Foaly told me to watch the show as it shows how some people picture fairies."

"It got you laughing, didn't it?"

Artemis scowled. "Hardly."

"Admit it Dracula."

Artemis sighed his deep, melodramatic sigh. "No."

"Fine." Athena stuck out her tongue at him. "Ciao, pallido fantasma."

"Ciao, stupido."

Sorry for taking a long time to update. Anyway thanks for the 4 reviews although three were for different chapters and had nothing to do with the one before. Role call anyone reading say, "I" or something at least. Anybody, anybody?
