Before Your Reading Commences: I was hoping to have a few more reviews for my previous chapter before submitting chapter two but I was really thrilled when I saw that chapter one got a review and so I shall share by happiness with you all! -smiles- Oh yes, my OC is mentioned briefly in this chapter but don't worry, she'll make more appearances in the future...obviously, I am not going to give a character detail and not allow them to show up more in a story of mine. -chuckles-

Snowy's Nosey

Fowl Manor, Dublin, Ireland

Rose Fern a.k.a. past Opal Koboi had broken herself a.k.a present Opal out from her own Atlantis prison cube with the help of her accomplices, Merv and Scant months ago however and during those months, the two Opals and two brothers worked extensively hard on a project to crush every single person that have done them wrong with the hand of justifiable revenge. With their project already out in the field of action halfway, how are things fairing for the other side of the coin meaning the more heroic-good-guy side?

Months after the whole Rose and Opal situation, it is now early November and blankets of pure white and crisp snow cover the grounds of Fowl Manor. The various different types of trees that dot throughout the exterior of the manor have speckled white branches on account of the newly fallen snow and the manor is literally a winter wonderland.

The manor has a welcoming and warm demeanor to it which is a rare aura for it to emanate since it use to house criminals of different ranks from mafia members to petty thieves, a police force of the non-human kind, a perfect killing machine, a variety of deaths and a whole list of different other things. Now though, the manor is as normal as can be, almost perfect so to speak.

The Fowls, the rightful owners of the manor have also changed rather drastically, at least, Artemis Fowl Senior, Angeline Fowl and their eldest son, Artemis Fowl Junior have. Artemis's young twin brothers Beckett and Myles have the fortunate disposition to have been brought into the world after the solemn and treacherous happenings that use to drift inside and out throughout the manor.

It is mid-afternoon this November day and 15-year-old Artemis Fowl the II is watching his 3-year-old twin brothers Beckett and Myles build snowmen in the front yard while his parents help assist the Christmas decorators to spruce up the manor with holiday cheer and while his bodyguard Butler is preparing a warm meal for lunch for everyone.

Artemis is sitting on a step leading to the entrance of the manor while observing his brothers scope up the fallen snow from the ground and pat said snow against their miniature snowmen to add more stability to them.

"Arty-misssss!" Beckett cries to his older brother, waddling over to him while tears dwindle down his chubby rosy cheeks and his blond curls bounce from out of his winter bonnet while her totters off to him.

"Beckett, why the tears?" Artemis asks soothingly to his brother when he pauses in his waddled run in front of him.

Beckett runs an arm underneath his runny nose and answers his brother with a wobbling lip. "M-m-m-Myles s-stole Snowy's nosey."

One of Artemis's dark brows goes askew with curiosity when he hears his blubbering brother speak in child-like banter and he raises his gaze over towards Myles and he sees him jab a carrot into the center of his snowman's head.

"Ah, I see now, Snowy, your snowman Beckett and his carrot nose." Artemis concludes and stands up and straightens his dark winter coat.

He pats Beckett's head gingerly to comfort him and suggests to him in a friendly voice, "I am sure if we ask Myles for it back politely, he will gladly return Snowy's nose to you, alright Beckett?"

Beckett had been bawling some more while shuffling his booted-feet around in the snow until he glances up at his older brother when he hears his offer. "Uh-huh, okee dokee Artemis!" he cheers enthusiastically and claps his gloved hands together happily while jumping up and down.

Artemis smiles warmly while wondering if Beckett had any sugar today. "Alright then, let's retrieve Snowy's nose for you then."

He offers a hand for Beckett to hold onto but Beckett decides to grasp onto his brother's pinky finger and then the two Fowl brothers venture over to the other Fowl brother.

"Pardon me Myles but would you be so kind as to return Snowy's nose to your brother?" Artemis says to Myles, tapping him gingerly on the shoulder to gain his attention.

The Fowl in question turns around sharply from his snowman and stares upwards at Artemis for a moment or two but then down at his twin brother, Beckett. "Why should I? He wasn't using it!" Myles answers in a whiny tone.

Beckett lets go of Artemis's finger and scrunches his face up and whines right back to Myles, "I was going to until you stole it from me, you meanie-Myles!"

Artemis's mismatched eyes glance from Beckett and to Myles and back to Beckett. "Now now boys, you both were taught to share so how about you both share Snowy's nose?"

"How?!" both twins shout in unison.

Artemis cannot help himself from chuckling softly at his brothers' antics. He turns to Myle's snowman and plucks the orange carrot out from its face and studies it for its midsection and once he finds it, he breaks it in half and hands a piece to Myles and Beckett.

Beckett stares at his carrot with horror upon his face. "Oh no! You broke Snowy's nosey Artemis! You a meanie too!" he exclaims.

Myles sighs and pushes pass Beckett. "No you simple-toon, look." he says while grabbing Beckett's carrot from his hand and shoving it into Snowy's face.

"Ooh! Yippee, Snowy has a nosey now!" Myles shouts cheerfully and at this moment, a snow ball comes soaring through the air and towards Artemis but he dodges the weapon before it touches him and then he looks to the direction of where the snow ball came from and smirks, seeing a hazy distortion in the air.

"Play nicely you two," Artemis says and pats both of his brothers on the head and then strolls over to the far right side of the manor where the source of the snow ball shot out from.

Artemis stops right in front of the air disturbance, patiently waiting and then a bodiless voice erupts from the air distortion. "Hey, someone has to keep you on your toes when things have simmered down." the voice says playfully and then the voice is replaced by the image of a certain elf; Captain Holly Short of the LEPrecon.

Artemis smiles and brings his elfin friend into a love felt embrace. "How long have you been here, Holly?"

Holly returns the embrace. "Not so long Arty since my break from a run of the mill mission just started awhile ago but long enough to see that you could easily win the 'Brother of the Year' reward."

Artemis scoffs gently while breaking the embrace. "As if such a prize exists and if one does, only a fool would strive to win such a thing." he explains to his friend in a slightly mocking tone.

"You're still the same criticizing Mud Boy that I remember but how are you doing these days Arty?"

Artemis takes a glance over at Myles and Beckett and smiles as he sees Beckett padding snow into spheres and fashioning the spheres onto different parts of Snowy, making Snowy look a land mine of sorts with his rounded protrusions sticking out.

He returns his attention to Holly. "I am quite well aside from trying to explain the winter solstice to the twins while they are in the mindset that winter begins in December while here in Ireland, it starts in November but onto a more pressing matter, how have you been fairing lately Captain and aren't you cold?"

Holly pinches at the material of her suit. "Not one bit Arty, heat sustained suit remember?"

"Of course, how could I have forgotten?"

"For how I am doing, eh well, to tell you the truth, kind of annoyed because of Trouble's, I mean Commander Kelp's stupendously moronic plan of having LEP officers buddy up with other LEP officers during missions and I honestly still do not understand his reasons for creating such a system."

Artemis's lips curve upwards an amused grin. "A guy who calls himself Trouble creates a buddy system for his officers? Sure, why not? I take it that you and your buddy are not playing nicely, am I right?"

Holly sighs and sits down in the snow, her legs stretching out in front of her and she slips her LEP helmet off and gives her a head a shake and her long pointy ears and auburn crew cut are revealed. "My so-called buddy is some elf in her mid seventies, which in human years, she is only a good couple of years older than you but more to the point, Commander Kelp picked her out of the ranks and instantly threw her into the LEP as a lieutenant and sure, she seems to be a regular old goody- two-shoes but that is just it, she gives off a false impression in my opinion."

Artemis sits down next to his elfin friend. "I am not sure when the Commander demanded his plan to be put into action but if it was not too long ago then do not fret about this lieutenant Holly since obviously you both are only acquaintances thus far."

"Her name is Poppy Loblolly and I suppose you're right Artemis; I guess I shouldn't be too quick to judge, eh?"

"Well, fairy intuition seems to be the strongest intuition there is but there is no need to discard the option that you are quick to jump the gun, no pun intended Captain."

Holly smiles, glad to be away from the LEP right now and with a very good friend of hers and it would be nice to sit like this all day and just chat but she is with the force and so responsibility needs to come first on her list. "My fairy intuition tells me that something chaotic will be rearing its ugly head at us and others sooner or later."

Artemis narrows his eyes. "Why do you say that Holly?"

Holly's grin becomes wider, "Isn't it obvious? When things always seem to be going at an average pace for one of us, something is bound to always happen that isn't the least bit average. Haven't you noticed that Arty?"

"I have and I truly hope that you are right Holly because I have been utterly bored lately and I need some new challenges to victor over."

"I shouldn't be too quick to jump the gun? Please, you shouldn't be too quick to jinx yourself."
