Chapter 4: Artemis the Chef

"Boys, it's time to get off Artemis." Diana said amused by what she was seeing. Artemis was on the floor being kicked by Myles and Beckett. He was too unfit to get up. "BOYS!" Diana said loudly, and this time they ran off. Artemis got up, with Diana's help and brushed the dirt of his suit.

"Thank you, Diana." Artemis said calmly, "Now... what should we do next?"

Diana looked at the boys, and they looked hungry. She went near Artemis and whispered to him,

"They look like they want to eat something, why don't you go and ask them what they want."

"Of course, an easy task, anyone could do that." He said trying to make himself look like he knew what he was doing. Diana just nodded and pointed to the boys. He went to work. He looked at the boys with a look of terror.

"Myles and Beckett, now that you are done making me your horse, you must be really hungry, what do you want to eat?" he asked confidently, now he could make Diana see that he is capable of doing anything.

"We want chocolate chip cookies!" they screamed.

"I'm sorry, but we do not have any of that. It is extremely unhealthy and I do not think you should try it." Artemis regretted saying that because the two started to throw tantrums, kicking the floor, screaming loudly and most of all; they destroyed the new PDA of Artemis. Diana finally couldn't take it anymore, she decided to help him.

"ALRIGHT! We'll make you chocolate chip cookies!" she said impatiently. Artemis looked at her, took her hand and dragged her to the kitchen.

"WHAT?" she said annoyingly, "Why did you drag be all the way here?" Artemis looked at her and noticed that he still didn't let go of her hand, he removed it quick and said...

"We do not have your chocolate chip cookies. I told my parents to ban those from our house." he said calmly, he did not like making Diana mad.

"Why'd you do that? No wonder people dislike you." Diana snorted,

"It is very unhealthy and bad for the body." He said plainly. "You should know that, you being so... fit."

"I'm going to ignore that comment and move on." She said blankly, "Well, you are going make some. You know how to right? After all, you did study the art of baking, when you were five. I remember you bragging to me."

"Of course, I know how to bake. You go check on the twins; I'll make some cookies for them."

Diana looked at him smiled and said, "You haven't changed a bit...I'm glad how we get to spend time together, even if you got new fairy friends. "

"So do I, Diana." Artemis smiled at her.

Diana looked at him and went away, blushing to herself. She thought Artemis had a good smile. Artemis waited for her to leave then sighed.

"I don't know how to bake these, a lot of other things I know how to bake, but cookies- I never bothered learning how too. I thought I'd not need them. I guess I have to try. After all,I am Artemis Fowl."

20 minutes later....

The fire alarm was ringing and water was sprinkling everywhere, Diana ran into the kitchen. She saw Artemis covered with ash. She held back her laughter.

"I'll just go to the store and buy some chocolate chip cookies... What do you think?" Diana said trying to make Artemis feel better.

'That was just what I was about to say."
