Well, I'm back only a day after writing my last chapter… well it might be the same day, I wrote that chapter pretty late at night. Anyway, this idea is from Elie, so thank her. This is Artemis and Holly so, yah. It might be a little short.
Bingo
Welcome back to Fowl Manor. Look across the lush, rolling fields and see the majestic building. In that building two people are playing scrabble and one of them is getting frustrated, very frustrated. Let's take a look, shall we?
Artemis and Holly are sitting on the lawn with the board game Scrabble in between them. On one end of the board Holly sits with a dictionary in her hands.
"Holly, just believe me when I say fogey is a word," Artemis says.
"Artemis, there is no way fogey is a word," says Holly.
Artemis watches in satisfaction as Holly gasps when she sees fogey in the dictionary.
"It can't be," she gasps.
"Well it is Holly," smirks Artemis, adding his score together.
Artemis watches as Holly puts down an o right below his g. Now it's his turn again. Next to her o, he puts down a d-i-c to spell odic.
"Artemis, odic is not a word!" exclaims Holly.
"Why don't you look it up in the dictionary then?" asks Artemis.
"Because I hate the dictionary right now!" replies Holly.
"Then take my word for it," says Artemis.
"Ugh," Holly groans, as she once again pulls out the dictionary.
After a full minute of searching she exclaims, "What! I can't believe odic is actually a word!"
"Well I guess it's you're turn now," says Artemis, tallying up his score trying very hard not to laugh while he was doing it.
"Alright," Holly practically grows. Off of his i she spells in.
Off of her n he spells naos.
"That is not a word, Artemis!" she exclaims.
"You want to look it up in the dictionary, Holly?" asks Artemis.
"Alright! Fine," she exclaims.
After a half a minute of vigorous dictionary flipping she shouts, "Unbelievable. Un-freaking-believable! Do you have a dictionary in your head or something, my God! Forget this! I'm going to go play that racing game on Playstation with Juliet and Butler!"
And with that she stalks off back into the house, leaving behind a hystericaly laughing Artemis. The final score when she walked off was 140 to35.
And this has been and afternoon at Fowl Manor.
So, how'd you like it! Next chapter is the racing game, which one I don't know yet but whatever. After that chapter I'll be takinng requests. Just be warned, if you send in several, I might only get to one. This chapter actually took me awhile because I had to look up the rules for Scarbble because I've never played it before. So, yah.
Signing out,
