AN; it's me again! Ok, Artemis and co. don't belong to me. And I'd just like to say thanks toe everyone who reviewed which was a grand total of…no one.

Oh….

Holly's apartment,

Haven City,

The Lower Elements,

Seven hours later.

Holly woke up and looked at her moon meter.

7:30am.

She winced. She had been out for seven hours.

Holly felt her head. Her cuts had been healed but she was still covered in dry blood.

Holly picked up the phone and called Foaly.

"Yes?" came the centaurs voice.

"Yeah, hi Foaly. It's me, Holly."

"Oh, hi Holly!" he said, "You caused quite a stir up in Tara."

Holly winced. "Tell me about it. So, what actually happened?"

"Well a bunch of wanna-be assassins tried to kill you."

"Oh, is that all?"

"No, that isn't all. We think there's something wrong, Holly. And you know that means…"

"Time to save the world again," Holly sighed.

"Our lives are officially walking clichés," Foaly said.

"I know," Holly said, "I'll call Artemis and tell him to come down here. Bye."

She hung up and looked at her watch again.

7:35am, or 7:35am in human times.

Artemis's room,

Fowl manor,

Dublin,

Ireland.

Artemis was scared, and this was something you wouldn't usually here about him.

And, to his utter embracement, he was scared of his brothers. His little brothers.

They were so…so…bouncy. And not in a good way. By bouncy, Artemis meant that, no matter how many times you insulted them, told them to go and play in front of a bus or said you'd play hide and seek and not come for them they always wanted to play with you and be your best friend.

Artemis shuddered at the thought.

So that's why he had practically barricaded himself in his room.

Artemis's communicator rang.

"Hello?" he said.

"What's up with you?" came Holly's voice.

"Nothing!" he snapped.

"I was just asking," she muttered. "So, how's the twins?"

Artemis lost focus in his eyes. Holly waited a moment. He shuddered and was back to reality.

"Ehm…" he didn't know how to but it. "They're interesting. Is there a real reason why you called?"

"Yes, actually, there is," Holly said. "We need you underground. Foaly said there's something wrong, but the centuar always has been a paranoid twit."

"Ok," Artemis said. "Should we go to Tara?"

"Yip," Holly said, "A LEP officer will be waiting for you."

"Ok, bye."

He hung up and went down the stairs, into the kitchen.

Butler, Minerva and the twins were having breakfast.

Artemis sat at the table.

"We need to go underground," Artemis said, "Holly just called me and said there's something wrong."

"Who's Holly?" Jonathon asked.

"What about the twins?" Butler asked, not hearing Jonathon's question.

"We could get a baby-sitter?" Minerva suggested.

Artemis and Butler exchanged looks.

Every baby-sitting service in Dublin had heard of the Fowl twins. After having them(just once) they had all refused to serve the family.

"Bad idea," Artemis said.

They looked at the twins again.

"I have an idea," grinned Butler.

Artemis winced. He knew what he meant, it had been the very idea he had been trying to avoid.

AN; ok, I'll be updating this really quick cause I've already published this on another site. All I have to do is copy and paste! Eh…so could one person please review? Just to show that somebody's reading this.

Please?
