Artemis Fowl and the Time it Rained Mushrooms
I don't own Artemis Fowl or any of his delightful little friends, and unless I one day become an eccentric bajillionaire, I probably never will.
I got the idea from Google Snook. This might be even more random than the last one. It's gonna be hella short, I know that. And you guys better review. I mean it. I'm sick and if you don't review I'll cough on you. Come on… If you really loved me, you'd review…
And by the way, for those of you who didn't read Chapter 2, it's not as dirty as it sounds. Really.
Holly Short, Mulch Diggums, and for some unapparent reason, Grub Kelp were all standing around a nice convenient oak tree, not far from Fowl Manor. They had come to visit Artemis, just because that was the right and proper thing to do among friends.
Well, Grub had actually just come along to look at the pretty stars so he could tell Mommy about them. Now there was something Trouble couldn't do. Or maybe he could. But if he could, he hadn't done it yet so it was still kind of like being better than him, which was good enough for Grub..
Nobody had told him that Butler would be there.
Artemis and Butler were taking a very long time. Mulch was getting bored, and decided to have some fun with Grub.
"Hey, remember that time you single-handedly defeated the Almighty Butler?" Mulch said casually. Grub nodded proudly, and was about to launch into the 'How I single-handedly defeated the Almighty Butler' speech for the thousandth time, and fortunately Mulch cut him off before he could start.
"Yeah…Well, you kinda pissed him off. So he's been in training ever since then, and I hear he's twice the size he was before. And he'll be here tonight. He's coming for you."
"What?" squealed Grub, as he scrambled up the tree like a rabid baboon. Mulch and Holly simultaneously raised an eyebrow, and Grub said, "I…er…I mean… I'm not scared or anything. I just wanna…surprise him…Yeah…Surprise him…"
"Good luck with that," Holly muttered, half-smiling as she saw the Artemis-and-Butler-shaped outlines making their way toward the tree.
"Oh Gods…" Squeaked Grub from the tree branch. He trembled so much that the branch started to shake.
"Hello, everyone," Artemis said as he and his manservant strolled over to the tree. He looked at the sky. It seemed odd. "Hmm…the sky seems rather…"
And it was at that moment that thousands upon thousands of mushrooms rained from the sky.
"What the hell?" Holly wondered aloud.
"We're all gonna die!" Grub screamed as he fell from the tree.
"It appears to be raining fungi," said Artemis.
"Wow…That's really gay!" Mulch exclaimed.
And with that, they all ran around in circles, screaming in terror. With the exception of Grub and Artemis. Grub had passed out and was now halfway buried in mushrooms. As for Artemis, he just rode on Butler's shoulders. Running was so below him.
