After a small glaring match, Artemis turned back to his computer.

Kira was suddenly interested. "Whatcha doin'?" she asked.

"Remember the policy that needed changed? I'm working on that."

"Oh. Sounds boring." Kira was thrown again into a different emotion, boredom.

She sighed, long and loud.

She kept doing it until Artemis was forced to turn around.

"What?" he asked tersely.

"Nothing. I'm just bored. Plus, I'm stuck here for an hour because of that stupid tutor thing." Kira sighed again.

"Oh. Right."

"So, what are you going to teach me." Kira asked.

"Patience. If you can sit quietly without sighing for the rest of the hour, I'll let you have next week off. That's my right as your tutor to decide, as Mr. Prat waived that right when he foisted the job off on me."

Kira sighed again to show that he wasn't the boss of her but then sat quietly. The silence was kind of eerie.

She tapped her fingers on the bed, as quietly as she could,

She couldn't take it any longer. She had to say something!

"Sooooooooooooo..."

Artemis tensed up. He was annoyed now. "I'll make a deal with you." Kira started, "I'll help you with your 'President' problem, and you'll be nice to my brother."

"For one thing, I am nice, just not pleasant to him. For another, I don't need any help."

"Nice, pleasant, whatever. You need to prove that you're 'suitable' or something." Kira argued, "Oh, and you do need help. That's the wrong password." Kira shoke her head at his stupidity.

"Oh." Artemis hurriedly moved out of her way.

"First of all you've got to promise you will prove yourself." Kira said sitting down. He promised. "OK, what president is this, again?" Kira asked.

"George Bush. He's from Texas, and has a wife named Laura and two twin daughters whose names I've never heard."

"Then it's obviously TwinyL." Kira sighed at his ignorance. "Why in the world would a President use such a pathetic password?" Artemis asked. Kira typed it in. 'PING' "Got it." Kira smiled.

He rolled his eyes, but smiled.

There was a knock on the door. "Come in!" Kira yelled absently. Thom entered.

"Hi!" Kira said brightly.

Thom was not smiling. But he didn't look angry either.

"Fowl," he said, inclining his head.

"What did you come here for, Thom." Kira asked curiously.

"Oh, to get away from Mary Sue. She keeps following me."

"I thought you liked her." Kira said in a weird voice.

Oh. Yeah. I do."

"Then why are you running from here." Artemis asked.

"Um." Thom started. Kira didn't let him get any further.

"I think I should probably go." This idea had been in Kira's head for days and this was her chance. She ran outside and locked the outside lock. There was no way to unlock it from the inside. This feature was for students who needed lock down.

It would unlock if the fire alarm went off. Kira didn't know that, but she did know that the office had a key to get them out. She also knew where the key was kept. As she ran past, she made a quick detour.

She grabbed it while no one was looking. Now Thom and Artemis had to work out there problems.
