Chapter 2: Shooting Hoops
Basketball will not be played by fairies after they watch this…
Chix Verbil holds a microphone.
"Good morning everyone! I hope you will do great in this game of basketball"
Everyone… still silent…
"Plus one step closer to winning 500kg of gold!". Everyone replies "Woooh!"
"So now that I've got all your attention, let me show you your next stunt"
Chix shows a basketball to them
"You guys will have to battle per team. There will be 3 matches. Whoever team that loses will have to do something"
"What do you mean something?" asked Butler.
"Ill let you see it if you forfeit!" Chix replied.
"OK! Race to 5points so just hope you'll shoot 'em all. Oh and the team with the highest score will win a new Sony PSP fresh from eBay. And of course they can choose tomorrow's order"
"Now we have randomly selected today's order and Butlers and the Fowls, you guys are lucky number 1!"
Before the game started there's a short conversation between the two teams.
"Listen Arties, even though we work for you we won't let you win OUR gold!" Domovoi said. "Not only that, we also want you to do that SOMETHING when you two lose".
"I believe talking trash will be your downfall Butler. Good luck"
"okay enough of the strong words you guys, in the court". " Oh and I forgot, each point your enemy scores, you will drink a cup of blended cockroaches" Chix added.
"Now we really won't let you Fowls win" Butler murmured.
Chix blew the whistle and threw the ball in the air. Butler takes the ball, passes to Juliet, shoots from beyond the arc, and misses.
Artemis Fowl Sr. rebounds the ball, goes outside to check the ball, passes to Artemis Jr, fakes the shot, and passes to his father for the alley-oop lay-up, the Fowls lead 1-0.
Butler goes to the outside and shoots for 2 from downtown and hits the 20-foot jumper.
The fowls return with a fantastic jumper shot by Jr. but was blocked by Butler, he then passed it to Juliet to the outside, and also hits a 2 point shot from downtown. The Butlers, with two quick shots, gets a 4-1 lead.
"Come on Juliet one shot left and we'll win this game"
"Not so fast, we also have skills of our own" whispered Atemis jr.
Artemis II drives to the basket and scores a lay-up. Butler, focused to winning, lost his concentration and got stripped by Artemis Sr. He passes the ball back to Artemis Jr, and shoots a 2 point jumper.
The score is tied 4-4
Butler made a quick pass to Juliet but was intercepted by Arty II, he passed to his father, and shot the ball, but unfortunately, he missed. Juliet rebounded the ball, and passed to her brother, who was nearly stripped by Artemis II. With 2 guys double-teaming him, he passed to Juliet and dunk the ball.
Chix' whistle blew, and declared the Butlers as Winners.
"That's it Fowls, drink or quit!"
The Fowls drank everything, although took 7 minutes, they were safe.
"So Butlers you won, but only managed to score 1 point ahead of the Fowls which gives you a weak chance to win this stunt, as for the Fowls, scoring 4 points might be enough to let you survive"
