Hi again! Next chapter here for you!

Every night I wish upon a star to own Artemis Fowl, but it still hasn't worked.

Artemis looked out his window, staring longingly at a classy mansion in the northern part of England.

"So close, yet so far," the youth muttered to himself.

The whole way there Artemis tried to figure out what to say to Minerva. Would she remember him? Would she think he was a jerk for ditching her, or that he was a gentleman, coming back to see her? Unfortunately, they were in a Section 8 shuttle. It shielded them completely out of view, but it got them to their destination so quickly that Artemis couldn't come up with a plan. The "Artemis" part of this boy was annoyed that his intellect had left him, and that no ingenious plans were coming to mind. The "Orion" part kept urging him to simply ring the doorbell and say hello. The combination of these two decided to ignore them both and keep thinking.

"Uh sir...?"

"Butler, I insist you call me Artemis. Please."

"Alright. Artemis, how long must we wait shielded at the end of this girl's driveway?"

"I'm sorry. I need to make a good impression, but I can't figure out a classy, kind way to do it!"

"Si—Artemis, please just go ring the doorbell. If this girl remembers you, which she will, then there will be no problems. Even if she doesn't remember you, you can make up an excuse and quickly leave. If it turns out that she remembers and hates you, well... You may need Orion's charm to help calm her."

"I understand you're trying to help, but the real problem is if she remembers and likes me."

"That makes no sense," Butler said, furrowing his brow. Artemis went on to explain.

"I've changed so much. She's bound to notice I'm different! And also, I have ZERO practice talking to girls. In fact, I have less than zero practice because I was a self-centred little bugger back then. If she does happen to like me I will be totally unprepared! I may blurt out something stupid! I may not respond at all! This has to be perfect the first time!"

"Calm down! You'll be fine, just go see her."

"Fine! I will go unprepared to make my only first impression on the girl of my dreams! Any helpful advice Butler?"

"Hmm. Uh, I'm a little bit out of practice, seeing as how I've been by your side for the past 15 years... Make sure to compliment her. OH! And bring her a gift!"

"Where in this infernal shuttle am I going to find a gift?"

"I don't know! And one last thing, make sure you ask for a way to contact her so you can see her again! I don't want to have to ask Foaly to hack into her data base for this again!"

"Fine, fine, I'll remember. Now help me look for a present!"

Artemis and Butler started scrambling around the fairy shuttle, looking for a suitable gift. Well, Artemis scrambled, while Butler looked around while trying to imagine Master Artemis talking to a girl. He nearly burst out laughing, but one does not have a blue diamond tattoo without learning some measure of self-control.

Together they opened every cupboard, drawer and cabinet they could find. They also uncovered a few hidden compartments that Foaly apparently hadn't wanted them to find. There was a jar of hoof moisturizer in one, and a carton of carrot juice in another.

"Argh! Why is this so hard? Do I really need a gift?" groaned Artemis.

"Well... you don't need one. But if you want to make the best impression possible, it could definitely help."

Artemis let out a grunt of frustration and took out his anger on the wall nearest him. When he finally stopped punching it Butler looked at it in awe.

"What are you looking at? I hope I didn't ruin the shuttle. Foaly did ask for it back in one piece."

Butler ignored him and started poking at the piece of wall Artemis had begun destroying. There was a tiny crack in the wall, in a perfectly straight line. It was barely perceptible to the naked eye, but Butler saw it. He executed a focused finger jab at the crack and a tiny hidden door swung open. Artemis finally caught on to what Butler had just found and advanced towards the hidden compartment. Carefully, he swung open the thin door. It was made of top-of-the-line fairy metal, made to withstand anything. Of course, the fairies weren't expecting Butler to try and break it down. Artemis peeked inside, hoping for the best.

"It's perfect."

Butler gazed at the shiny object inside. He nodded in agreement. It was perfect. All of Artemis' doubts washed away as he picked up the sparkling gift. He was ready. He slipped the item into his coat pocket and quickly strode out the door before his mind could convince him otherwise.

Ideas? Thoughts? What do you think his gift is? Sorry if you guys were expecting Minerva in this chapter, but she'll come soon! I promise! Please review! All of you fanfictioners out there know the thrill of reading a review so please return the favour! Until next chapter, bye!
