Disclaimer- In the event I was really Eoin Colfer I would probably be working on the sixth AF book in a jacuzzi with a smoothie rather than be typing fanfictions on a slow family computer with a lazy dog sleeping on my lap. In other words- I'M NOT EOIN COLFER! don't sue
Sugar Free...Sugar Free...Now wheres the sugar free chocolate? Artemis thought as he franticly searched through the pantry. They had Hersheys, Sees, Mars Bars and even an advent calender that was never used but nothing was sugar free. He was about to call Butler and ask about it (Artemis had never been in the pantry before), but was interrupted by a shrill shriek upstairs. Artemis grabbed a box of peeps and ran back up the stairs. He was going to get some serious exersize tonight.
What he saw was enough to shock a genius. There were both of his siblings in a perfect fencing position, each holding pool sticks. A broken laptop lay at Johnathans feet and he looked as if he was ready to kill his younger (by about 5 minutes) sister. The ferocious look he wore on his face was only softened by the fact that he was wearing "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" PJ's.
Had he been a fencing instructer, Artemis would have complemented them on their perfect stance and balenced way they held the pool sticks.
What he did instead was quite different: he wrenched them both apart and asked them
"Who broke the laptop?"
Artemis was immediatly besieged by both of his siblings argueing with each other.
"It was Johnathan!"
"Only because you tackled me for it!"
"But you still dropped it face down on the ground!"
"If both of you stop argueing for tonight, I'll give you these" Artemis said, gesturing towards the pink bunny peeps.
It was immediatly quiet.
"Good. Now both of you promise me- if I give you these peeps, you won't argue for tonight and you'll play with each other NICELY. Understand?" Diana and Johnathan both nodded quickly in agreement, and they instantly put up the cute little kid act- the big puppy dog eye look and the big wobbly lips.
Artemis rolled his eyes. What drama kings/queens. But it didn't stop him from giving them both a row of the peeps, which were devoured by both of them in less than a minute.
"So..What do you two usually do at night?"
Johnathan shrugged "I usually work on my hacking. But now SOMEONE broke my laptop..."
"Remember Johnathan- no argueing or getting angry at each other."
The 4 year old boy smirked "You never said anything about not getting angry."
"Well, I have now. What do my siblings want to do?"
Diana put on a smile identical to her twin brothers "Well, Daddy did get that new gaming system..."
Johnathan continued "And he won't let us on it..."
"So can we play on it? Just for tonight?" Diana said, doing the cute toddler act.
Johnathan added "And I want to check out the science behind the motion sensor."
"So PLEASE can we play on the Wii?" they said in chorus.
Artemis shook his head "If father doesn't wish for you to go on that, you have to respect his wishes. How about a board game?"
Diana glared at Artemis. Once the oldest brother went into the cupboard to look for a board game, Johnathan winked at her.
This meant war!
