Artemis sighed as the steaming hot water pounded against his back. It felt wonderful to meditate like this. He should have thought of doing it sooner.

"Artemis!"

Juliet ripped the shower curtain aside, exposing Artemis sitting in the tub, the hot shower water pouting down his back, in his swim trunks. Artemis calmly glanced up at her.

"Yes?" he asked her coolly.

Juliet glared at him. "What is this?! What are you doing?!"

Artemis ran a hand through his sopping hair. "I'm just copying what ninjas do on TV. You know, how they meditate under waterfalls."

"Our shower isn't a waterfall."

"Ninjas must improvise to successfully reach their full ninjadom."

"Just get out of the tub. You're wasting all our hot water." Juliet pulled him roughly out by the arm and pushed him into the hallway.

"You can't kick me out! I'm not done with my meditation yet!" Artemis pounded on the door.

Butler raised an eyebrow as he passed by Artemis, sopping wet and in his swim trunks, banging on the door of the bathroom. Artemis caught Butler by the sleeve, stopping him. The genius smiled.

"Butler…"

"Artemis, I really feel stupid doing this. Can we go back inside now?"

Butler tilted the garden hose over Artemis' head. Somehow the teen had convinced the bodyguard to come outside to the yard and spray water from a hose on top of Artemis' head.

"No Butler. Not until I have finished my meditation exercises."
