Sometimes I really wonder why my life sucks so much… then I blame Artemis for being such ambiguous God….

Chapter 2: Two's a Company

Fowl Manor

Normal POV

"Here I am…" the girl said.

'How very interesting, it seems I'm looking at my self.' though boy genius Artemis Fowl as he stared at the girl standing at the door.

So far he'd only been looking at the face. It was an almost exact replica of his with the exception of a slight softness about it. Hence a look downward to confirm a gender, and when he did look down Artemis had to take in the whole attire. Faded jeans, cut off for one leg at the thigh, replaced by a bright pink net tight. The rest of her limbs were covered in similar luminous if not clashing fabric, her green shirt screamed "Kiss me I'm Irish!" while her shoes which were florescent yellow made ones eyes water if stared at for too long.

Artemis noticed all this and her black hair cut as short as his and filed it away, labeling her as "A complete teenager of the Rock Generation."

But he could not decide whether she was Artemis Fowl from another dimension or a successful clone at the hands of the paranoid centaur Foaly. He was saved from thinking of anymore explanations when she said "So... are we gonna continue this staring match inside or out here?" Then he heard his mother approaching.

Missy POV

Filthy Rich Pretty Boy.

On second thought, weak as a newborn kitten.

Jeez was this guy for real? He hadn't said a word yet and I was getting sick of the country smell, I wanted in now!

See, I'm a city girl. You put me into a room of Carbon monoxide fumes I'll gladly take it; I'll excel in the toxic atmosphere. But I can not, will not stand the stench of slurry rising off the surrounding fields, it makes me nauseous.

He was still silent; this guy isn't really Mr. Polite is he? He wore black trousers, designer I imagine, and a pale blue shirt. His loafers I knew cost a pretty penny too, having drooled over a similar pair in a shop window at O'Connell Street.

"Arty?" I heard a woman call from inside. Oh so his name was Arty! Snicker… what a rip off… I was expecting something like Paris, or Eugene… maybe Princeton… but Arty? Snicker snicker…

He cringed visibly at the sound of his name and I could hear her walk nearer.

"Arty? Who's there?"

Arty…. It still didn't click for me…

The toddler at his side stared at me his lips slightly pouting. I would be lying if I said he wasn't one of the most adorable things I'd ever seen. I think it was the blonde curls or maybe the cherubic face.

I just wanted to cuddle him. And I don't cuddle. Anyone.

She finally came a paint brush in her hand; I noticed smudges of paint on the toddlers' hands. She looked at him then the toddler. Another identical little boy was holding on to the end of her dress. What was up with this place and identical people?!

But the picture they created was still something out of a happily ever after story. She was obviously the sweet natured, beautiful mother. He was older son and the twins were the wonder children. They'd been painting together. Kinda made a person feel like shit. I was ruining there lives I just knew it. What I didn't know until much later was exactly how….

She looked at me then and I noticed her pretty blue eyes, the motherly expression in them and I just wanted to curl up on the ground right there and weep for the unfairness of it all. Of course I didn't because at that moment her mouth popped open into a little 'O' of surprise. It took her a while to regain her speech but when she did, eyes wide she asked,

"Arty? Have you been completely honest with me?"

Normal POV

Angeline Fowl was surprised to say the least if not completely confused, when a girl who resembled her son completely stared right back at her.

"Mother," Artemis said slowly, not taking his eyes of her.

"I've been perhaps more honest then I though I would but at this, I'm just as surprised as you."

Mother and son looked at each other for a while before Missy cleared her throat loudly and said, "I'm right he ya know?"

At this Angeline Fowl finally remembered her self and her gracious personality took over.

"Please come in." she said a little hurriedly pulling Artemis aside. She led them through a dark corridor to a formal looking parlor. On the way there all was silent and Missy quietly followed. A suit of armor stood on a small pedestal, she glanced at it warily thinking 'Some beating that one had…'

Artemis too followed his mother walking behind Missy examining her to see if she displayed any signs of being a fake. The girl in question felt Goosebumps as Artemis did this but she didn't turn as was her urge.

When they reached the parlor Missy's eyes widened looking around her.

"Please have a seat...?" Angeline said anxiously. "Um..?"

"Missy call me Missy…." She said perching her self on the edge of a tan leather sofa. Beckett took this as a sign to plop his behind on the big and soft Persian carpet. There was an awkward pause and Angeline slightly confused and flustered blankly stared at Missy. Then with a little gasp of "Drinks!" she rushed from the room.

The Boy and the Girl stared at each other.

Then Myles asked the most obvious but hard to approach question "Why are there two Artemises?"

"Yes… Actually, I wonder that too? "Artemis wondered aloud.

Missy blinked confusedly looking from the little baby genius to the older boy genius. A person with less than normal common sense would have felt completely out of there dept and stunned with the situation but Missy being a person with very little common sense boldly faced it head on.

"Hey I only came here looking for someone? I don't know why I look like him or why you know my name!"

"And who is it you're looking for?"

"Well...eh… um... an... Artemis Fowl??" she asked raising her eyebrows at him questioningly.

"You're looking at him." The boy answered calmly.

Missy sucked in a huge breath and her eyes bugged out before she let it out. Smiling now she said simply "No."

Then she gave a laugh that was bordering on hysteria.

"No… No you couldn't be…. She the guy I'm looking for… is…. Old… Really OLD! Like my Fathers age old… actually he is... kinda my father…" she laughed again.

Now it was Artemis's turn to be shocked. "You're what?" he asked with some degree of suspicion.

But Missy was beyond hearing him; she had begun to talk altogether too fast.

"The only way you could be Fowl is if you'd been frozen in a block of ice from the last fifteen years!! Which would explain the brown eye and weird hair but then you should still be like twenty or thirty!! I'm sure me Mam was no Pedo. But then you could be lying- although I don't really see why?? Oh but the nice lady did call you Arty! Oh my god my supposed father lives with his Mom! Hm… then you are Artemis… Arty… I wonder why Mam never called me Arty… but then I'm not very artistic… are you? I think you are! You look like you'd be good at drawing! I'm really good at talking non-stop when I'm nervous or stressed or upset and right now I'm all of those things because a guy who's my age could possibly be my father!!" She finished dramatically or paused for breath.

"My father's name is also Artemis, Artemis Fowl Senior." Artemis said quickly fearing she would start up again.

Missy froze then looked at him. Her mouth opened slightly, only barely comprehending the reality of what he had said and the reason why they looked so alike. Artemis had come to the same astonishing conclusion.

"Oh." Was the first word out of her mouth and then.

"Oh! Oh! Oh!" and she stood up.

"But that means that I- that you- that we- I'm not really sure what that means…"

Artemis for once was speechless. It what this look alike said was true then so much that he knew was lies. His whole life would be shaken at the foundations. He refused to believe it. He couldn't he wouldn't.

Yet what if it was?

DUN-DUN DUN!
