Artemis Fowl

The Maia DeBearue Affair

Prologue

Artemis Fowl is your average teenage boy with extra criminal activities in his free time. We have watched his progress from evil to good with the help of the People. See, Artemis generally is a good person although he didn't know it. Originally his plans had never set out to harm anyone yet somehow they had managed to do so. As he gradually came to realise that anything even closely related to the fairies could bring potential harm to the people he cared about he began seeing things in a whole new light and checking the plans over and over again. His heists of the paintings recently had all been carefully planned and recorded a couple of weeks before they had taken place. Yes his plans with the fairies had taken far longer than the painting heists, but Artemis wasn't dealing with fairies. He was dealing with people. Yet, no matter how carefully he had planned this particular heist he would not have accounted for one particular obstacle who was more of the same mindset as our young sixteen year old Artemis Fowl.

The person he hadn't accounted for was Maia DeBearue who had also taken a liking to art. Of course, jewellery too was a weakness. She was particularly partial to diamonds and was currently in the process of collecting several of them. Under high security was the Blue Diamonds owned by Stefan Spiro, a cousin of Jon Spiro and a business rival. First we should explain a little about what exactly makes Maia tick.

Maia however is nothing like our sixteen year old Artemis Fowl. Although she's only fifteen, she's the leader of so many school activities it's not funny. She's intelligent. She's in everything from the Cheerleading team to the Science Club. One of her greatest skills is human behaviour and estimation. But peel back the layers and you discover a whole new girl. She has the mind of a genius twice her age and uses her brains for criminal plots. She absolutely loves to challenge the top security buildings in the district. It's kind of like an after hours hobby.

Maia is an adversary that not even Artemis Fowl was counting on. Her parent's own a multi million dollar company in Ireland, in direct competition with Stefan Spiro and his security systems. Maia has a lot of practice breaking into her parent's systems and each time she manages it they upgrade it.

Artemis Fowl will have no idea what is about to hit him head on. Especially when he decides to steal the Blue Diamonds and bring them back for public viewing. She wants them for the exact opposite. To hide them away until the perfect moment when she can wear them to the Prom. Now as these two criminal masterminds go head to head, who will win? Or are they biting off more than they can chew? Stefan Spiro is not one to mess with after his cousin's encounter with Artemis Fowl.

Oh yeah, and one more thing. Artemis and Maia go to the same school. Artemis is supposed to be one year ahead of Maia DeBearue. What makes this totally ingenious is that she has skipped a year level and is now in most of his advanced classes. Maia is definitely no airhead.

AUTHOR'S NOTES; This idea came to me before Artemis Fowl and the Opal Koboi incident. I've had to change it somewhat and remodel it so it fits the constructed timeline. Now Artemis still knows that the fairies exist but I don't think I'll include them this time. If you think I should put them in somewhere then just review and give me your say so. Also, this isn't a romance fic, at least, not yet. You'll have to read right to the end for that I'm afraid. I also don't much like flames I only do constructive critisim which is welcome. If there are any mistakes please notify me!
