Chapter 6
Dylan's Candy Bar
All the Gothic's decided to take a bus to the candy store. They all seemed pretty content when they got there….
…..Except for Bob.
"Bacon? Bacon?"
Since all the clucking was driving the poor Goth's to insanity, they thought it might be a good idea, that when Bob fell asleep on the bus, that they pull the emergency stop right outside of a stuffed animal shop, and replace the live chicken that wouldn't shut up with a stuffed one. That was silent. So it wouldn't bother them.
It was Artemis who came up with this brilliant idea, but when he came up with it, and Fell, Raven, Bean, Neko, Evil, and Rose all agreed to it, they forgot about one little thing.
Bob.
"Bacon! Bacon?" cried Bob shaking the chicken.
"Bacon's uh, um, sleeping!" said Artemis. "Right guys?"
Raven looked up from her Peoples magazine.
Neko looked up from the gun he was cleaning.
Rose and Eva, I mean Evil, stopped watching 'Who's Line is it Anyways?' on their portable TV.
Bean stopped polishing his sithfe.
Fell stopped sharpening her knives.
"Huh?"
Artemis groaned. If he ever were to hear that chicken cluck one more time, he'd personally make sure that chicken were to never see the light of day again.
"I said, Bob's 'chicken', Bacon, is only sleeping, and is perfectly healthy and is not at the butcher shop that was right next to the Stuffed Animal shop we passed."
Bob blinked. Then he looked over at his fellow Gothic's that, would never betray him in anyway what so ever.
There was a long pause.
And then-
"Well, of course he's sleeping! We would never do something such as replace Bacon with a fake chicken, and send the real one to a butcher shop." Raven laughed nervously.
"Yeah, uh…. he's asleep of course. That entire infuriating, mind numbing clucking must have worn him out." Bean glared angrily as if the chicken was still there, clucking mercilessly.
"It was Artemis's idea."
"He's just taking a very, very, long nap." Rose looked over.
"Nothing to get your self arrested for animal cruelty about." Fell went back to her shiny knives.
Bob stared at them. Then smiled.
"You guy's are the best."
Every one gave another nervous laugh.

Dylan's Candy Bar
New York City
9:57 pm
When they arrived they were surprised to find Hannah and Rain were already there.
"Remus gave me an autograph!"
"Yo, what's up?"
This girl really needs to work on her grammar, thought Artemis.
"Why, hello Hannah, Rain. You wouldn't happen to have seen a…."
He trailed off.
He looked around eyes wide in amazement. They all did.
The candy shop they were in, what they thought was to be a little corner store, was a huge room filled with towers and towers of candy.
The shelves had to be at least 20 feet high! And there were a lot of shelves. There was a spiral staircase to go to the second, of 78 floors worth of candy.
And everyone, even Artemis, who wasn't much of a desserts person, grabbed a bucket and started loading them with candy.
By the time they were done picking out the candy, and their buckets were filled, they had:
3Musketeers, Sour Gummy Worms, Skittles, Taste the Rainbow, M'n'Ms, millions of types of gum, including Spearmint and DoubleBubble, York Mint Patties, Jelly Beans, Nuttie Bars, Hershey Bars, Jr. Mints, Tootsie Rolls, Tootsie Pops, Dumdums, Butterthingers, Milkyways, Almond Joys, Reeses Peanut butter Cups, Reeses Pieces, Kit Kats (Give me a break, give me a break, break me off a piece of that Kit-Kat-Bar), Baby Bottle Pops, PushPops, ect. And don't even get me started on the store brand stuff.
When they got up to the counter to pay, there was a man standing there.
"Hello, I am Dylan. The owner of New York's most prized candy store," he said proudly.
Fell was not the person to care.
"Uh, huh. Well, can we please just pay?" she asked.
"You must be the Gothic University students."
"Really? Gasp! No way!"
"You have made it here before the Hogwarts students. Well done.
"LOOK! Sir, unless for the rest of your life you want to be breathing through a whole in your neck, I suggest you get to the point or sell us the Damn candy!"
The man suddenly looked nervous. He gulped, straitened out his tie and said: "Alright then. The candy is free if you can complete this task."
There was a pause.
There sure does seem to be quite a lot of pauses in this story.
"Okay…. So what IS the task?" asked Artemis.
Then Bob asked, "Does it have any thing to do with chickens?"
Dylan starred at him.
"Erm… no. The task is to find out where lightning strikes on an average of at least 4 times a year."
Rose groaned, "Not another riddle!"
"….And get there."
They looked at each other.
Then Artemis said, "Lightning never strikes the same place twice, on an average of 4 times a year? That's not possible."
"Actually…." said Hannah. "I studied lightning before. Kill's more people than earthquakes and volcanoes. All though they do say lightning never strikes the same place twice, in fact, on an average of 4 times a year, the very point of the Empire State Building is struck by lightning."
Dylan nodded. "But how do you plan on getting there?" Now, he was smirking.
"I think," said Rose, pulling out her cell phone. "It's time we call up a friend."

John F. Kennedy Airport
Outside New York City
Daisy Green, was 12 years old, had dark red hair, and was either smiling, or looking bewildered, or confused. Though, actually, she was confused 98.5 of the time. But with Daisy, she never seems to care.
Daisy somehow, being a minor, and having an IQ of about 6, somehow Daisy had the ability to use a plane at this particular airport at any time.
She liked to fly around in circles.
So, currently, that was exactly what she was doing.
"WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"
The Gothic's looked up to where she was flying. They had to move their heads extremely quickly around in circles to be able to see her.
"HEY DAISY!" shouted Rose up to her. "CAN WE BARROW AN AIRPLANE!"
Daisy looked down at where her best friend Rose was waving.
"HI ROSE!"
She landed the plane.
Or crashed it, which ever.
She emerged from the wreckage covered in soot, but other than that, completely unharmed.
"Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiii, Rose, Raven, Fell Dragon, Bean, Bob Chickenfeather, a stuffed chicken, and Artemis Fowl."
In case you already forgot their names.
Daisy, of course, let them barrow a plane. She went to the Empire to watch.
Raven who was flying the plane, with Fell, and a very terrified looking Artemis.
Raven flew the plane upside down and around in circles. Artemis thought he might throw up.
At the very tip of the building, was a small blue envelope.
Raven swooped in toward it. Artemis only just managed to grab it.
They landed (crashed) the plane. Some people walked over to them and asked: Well?
Artemis showed them the gift cards to the candy bar, and also, 7 tickets to Nanjing China.
