Chapter Three: I Know Who You Are

"Miley! We're going to be late for the concert!" Robbie Ray yelled.

"Sorry!" Miley yelled back. "I'm just fixing my wig." Three minutes later, Miley Stewart walked out of the bathroom in full Hannah Montana dress. The whole clan then got into the Limo and drove to the stadium. Miley went into the dressing room with 'Lola' and 'Mike' to put on makeup and to warm up her voice.

I really hope they like me, she thought. It would be sad to have to sing six shows to a crowd who doesn't.

"Daddy, is anyone coming backstage tonight?" Miley asked her father, when she was waiting to be called on stage. Robbie Ray nodded.

"Artemis Fowl the Second, you know, the guy who lives next door and a few of his mates, why?" he asked.

"Oh no reason," Miley replied, suddenly freaking out. Something about that name sent shivers down her spine, and it wasn't the fact that a male was called after a Greek goddess, but something else. Something in her brain told her that he was a force to reckon with. And only an idiot would reckon with a force.

Fowl Manor: Thirty Minutes Earlier.

Artemis was in his room, pulling his tie to his neck, when a very excited, undercover elf burst through his open window, dragging him down the stairs.

"Come on," she said, as he tried to put his jacket on. "We'll be late." Holly had found a Hannah Montana wig which she was wearing with pride, along with her high platform boots to make her look taller. Juliet and Butler joined them at the door and the huge bodyguard drove the three of them in the Bentley Arnage to the stadium.

The four came to the backstage door and showed their passes, then were lead to the wings where Hannah Montana was waiting. Holly and Juliet were just about to jump on her, but she was then introduced to come onto the stage.

"GIVE IT UP FOR HANNAH MONTANA!" yelled someone over a microphone.

OOO

Miley walked onto the stage, and stood in the middle. The crowd went silent.

"Everybody makes mistakes," she said. "Everybody has those days. A one two three four." She began to move her hips. "Everybody makes mistakes. Everybody has those days. Everybody knows what I'm talking about, everybody get's that way." Miley then began to sing the verse. "Sometimes I'm in a jam…"

OOO

Holly, in the wings, could barely contain her excitement. She had just met Hannah Montana's three best friends, Lola, Mike and Jackson, and she was now listening to her sing.

Artemis on the other hand, started to frown. There was something about Hannah's voice that sounded familiar. It wasn't until the chorus started that he realised what it was, Artemis was going to have a serious talk with 'Miss Montana' when the concert was over.

Hannah sung 'Nobody's Perfect' then 'Rock star'. After that she began to talk about how she has great friends who support her, which lead onto 'True Friends'. Then she sung 'I Got Nerve', 'The Ice Cream Freeze', 'Let's Do This' and a few more. Her show ended with 'Best of Both Worlds', the crowd giving her a standing ovation as she left the stage, then she came on to sing Rock Star once more. Once she was in her dressing room and had drowned a whole bottle of water, Holly and Juliet were introduced.

"Hi, I'm Juliet Butler."

"And I'm Holly Short." Hannah smiled and shook their hands.

"Hi, I don't think I need to introduce myself." Both Holly and Juliet laughed.

"No, you don't," said Holly. Artemis then stepped out from behind Juliet.

"Artemis Fowl the Second," he said, shaking the pop star's hand.

"Hannah Montana." Artemis raised an eyebrow.

"Very clever, Miss Montana, but that's not your real name is it, Miss Stewart?" 'Hannah' opened and closed her mouth in shock.

"Boy with a Greek goddess's name, say what?"

"I could repeat it, but I chose not to," Artemis replied. "Why don't you and your friends take off your wigs?" Robbie Ray stepped forward.

"You can't force them to…" he said.

Butler stepped out from the shadows, placing a hand on his charge's shoulder.

"When Master Artemis wants something, it is done, Mr Stewart." Artemis gave the poor man his best vampire smirk.

"And if it isn't, they often have to face the consequences." He then turned to Butler. "If they don't pull their disguises off in ten seconds, help them remove them, I'm sure they will be grateful."

"But that isn't legal," interrupted Robbie Ray.

"I'm not known for being a law abiding citizen, Mr Stewart. In fact, I'm quite the opposite." Butler then began to walk forward. The three friends backed into the wall.

"Oh, sweet nibblets," Miley muttered under her breath. Just as Butler was about to pull the wigs off them, Holly thought that enough was enough.

"STOP!" she yelled. Butler stopped where he was and turned to the elf. Holly walked up to Artemis, her anger nearly overflowing. "You told me that you were going straight!" she shouted. Artemis shrugged.

"I never said those exact words," he replied, a hint of amusement in his voice. Holly scowled.

"You very well could have, I mean think of all the nice things you've done lately, and then you go and do this. What has Hannah Montana ever done to you?" Artemis looked down at his loafers.

"Spoilt my first chance with a girl." Holly's features softened, a small smile escaping onto her lips.

"Did you ask someone out, Artemis?" she asked. Artemis shook his head.

"Not exactly, but the conversation was going fine until she brought up Hannah Montana," said Artemis, looking up into Holly's eyes. Hannah walked forward, pulling off her wig at the same time.

"I didn't know that I could do that to someone I had never met," she said.

"Well, you did," said Artemis, sitting down in one of the many couches in the dressing room. "I didn't mean it to, but, she had to be one of the biggest fans in the world."

It took Holly a fair few seconds to get over the initial shock of Hannah Montana being Miley Stewart, but once she had, she sat down beside Artemis.

"Who was it?" she asked. Artemis sighed.

"Minerva." Holly nearly laughed.

"Minerva?" she asked. "The girl who kidnapped me and No.1 and who's house Foaly had a ball blowing up."

"Yeah, her," Artemis replied. "Though Foaly didn't exactly blow it up, he only sent holograms and was shooting everyone madly." Holly laughed.

"That's true. But what made you suddenly think that she was 'The One'?" Artemis chuckled under his breath.

"When we disappeared into Limbo, she blamed herself for what happened. She said that if she hadn't kidnapped No.1 and 'The Demoness' as she calls you then none of that would have happened, and I would be 20 like I'm meant to be and you would be some age that converts to about 22." Holly laughed again.

"OK, so you tried to hook up with some girl because she felt bad for what she had done?" she asked. Artemis shook his head.

"No, she was also the first girl who I had a proper conversation with." Holly folded her arms.

"And what about me?" she asked, raising her eyebrows.

"Girl my own age," Artemis corrected. "You're not exactly my age."

"Far from it," Holly said. It was not until Butler coughed, that they realised that the group from Malibu were staring at them as if they were ghosts. All of them had by then taken off their disguises and were sitting on the other couches in the room.

"Ah, so I was right?" Artemis asked once he had got over the few second shock.

"Yeah," Miley replied. "You were. But you can't tell anyone; otherwise I won't be able to live like a normal teenager anymore." Artemis nodded.

"Of course, I'm not that evil."

"Thank you," said Miley.

"Don't mention it." He then looked Miley in the eye. "And I mean it, don't mention it. I have a reputation to keep."

"Umm…what was all that about?" asked Lilly. "You know the whole 'Limbo' and 'Holly being old' thing?"

"Never mind," said both Artemis and Holly at the same time. The five from Malibu looked at them suspiciously, but let it drop.

"So where are you staying?" Holly asked, this cracked the awkwardness around the groups.

"Next to Artemis's house," Miley replied.

Meanwhile, Butler and Juliet were talking to Robbie Ray about music.

"Yeah, Miley has begun to write some nice songs on her own lately," the old rock star was telling Butler. "The Climb was genius, an amazing song, I couldn't have written it better myself."

"The Climb?" Juliet inquired. "I haven't heard that one, and I'm pretty sure I've heard them all.

"I'll get Miley to sing it for you some time," Robbie Ray replied.

And all while this was happening, Jackson and Oliver had found the fridge

"Mmmn, these croissants are delicious," said Oliver, stuffing two into his mouth.

"Oh you should taste these blueberry muffins," replied Jackson.

"So, where did you two meet?" Miley was asking Artemis and Holly.

"Um…" attempted Holly but no ideas came. She nudged Artemis in the ribs. He glared at her, but replied to Miley all the same.

"When I was 11, I woke one morning after having a strange dream. I only remember one thing about the dream though; I remembered that it was about fairies." He winked at Holly reassuringly. She decided to let him continue because even though she didn't like to admit it, he was always right. "So I did some extensive research and I put an advertisement on the internet. Butler and I then travelled around the world trying to find a fairy. It was our third go, in Ho Chi Minh city that we found a sprite." Miley and Lilly began to laugh uncertainly.

"Very funny," said Lilly. "But were did you actually meet?"

"I'm getting to that," replied Artemis. Holly was hoping that he wasn't going to say what she didn't want him to say.

"I won't go into details but we got pictures of the fairy bible, called The Book. After a while I managed to translate it into English and went about kidnapping a fairy. After many sleepless nights, I managed to kidnap an elf, called Holly Short." Holly slapped him. Artemis cowered in the corner of the couch.

"What was that for?" Holly slapped him again.

"You cowpóg, how dare you tell them about The People!" she slapped him again for good measure.

"And why not?" Artemis asked. Holly opened her mouth in shock.

"D'Arvit, Artemis! What is wrong with you? Five minutes ago, you were just as reluctant as me and now you are freely telling them about us. How dare you!" She punched him in the nose, sending him catapulting over the side of the couch and onto the floor. What Holly didn't know is that he had landed on his head and should have been checked out by a doctor straight away. Everybody in the room stopped what they were doing and looked between Holly (who was looking the other way) and Artemis except for Butler who ran to his charge's side to make sure he wasn't damaged.

"Knocked out cold," he said, glaring at Holly. "What was that for?" Holly beckoned for him to talk with her aside from the others. He reluctantly followed her to the small bathroom. Once they were alone, the door closed, Holly explained what had happened.

"So I punched him," she finished. Butler sighed.

"Why didn't you just talk to him, I'm sure that he had a reason for what he was doing, Artemis always does." Holly nodded, feeling ashamed, looking out the small window.

"Yeah, he does. But I was afraid and let my temper overcome me." She turned back to look at Butler. "I'm sorry," she said. Butler patted her on the shoulder.

"It's not me you should be apologising to, it's Artemis." He turned and left the bathroom, Holly followed, not daring to look at Artemis, just in case there was something seriously wrong with him. When she finally built up the courage to, she nearly cried out in shock. Her best friend was lying as still as the dead on the concrete floor. As soon at she saw him, she couldn't help but to run to his side.

"Heal," she whispered. Magical lights spun from the tips of her fingers and into Artemis's pores. Sparks flew from the arm which Holly was touching to his head where most of the damage was situated. The sparks soon winked out, to show Artemis, unblemished but still unconscious and unlike when he was lying near death in the gorilla cage, he didn't wake up.
