Disclaimer: Do I really have to keep doing this?
Dedicated to Saberstorm, for all the reviews. Don't feel bad FenrirSS, I think chapter 3 was dedicated to you, but everyone who reviews gets a chapter donated, maybe more than one. I REALLY need ideas for entertaining kids 4th through 6th grade, on a nonexistent budget. Help!
I will take suggestions, I I might put a spin on them.
Rule Six
Don't make threats. Make promises.
Holly was having a snickering fit. Foaly had told Artemis that he couldn't cook worth a flip. Artemis knew it was true, but after a childish fight, Artemis had told Foaly that he could engineer it so all of his food would explode in his face, and leave no forensic evidence, so beware. Foaly snorted, and had taken another bite of yogurt, and said "It's not exploding." He had accompanied this remark with an immature sticking out of the tongue.
Artemis then thought it would be funny to stuff Foaly's sour patch kids with sour sugar that would explode when they started to go down his throat. The effect of which caused Holly almost to split a lung laughing. She was shaking so hard she could barely open the door, and Foaly was in no condition to open any doors. The confused take-out girl from the restaurant had then took one look at Foaly, and handed her the soup box, which a mysterious person had bought for Foaly.
Foaly opened the box of soup, as that would really help right now. He first ran a few chemical scans on it, just to be safe. Right before he took a bite, he realized it. The alphabet noodles in the soup were a message: Did you forget rule six?
…
Mayne came home blubbering. Foaly was gone, so he came home to Holly. A pixie had been mean to him at school, but the pixie threatened to beat him up if he told his teacher. The pixie had told Mayne that he could add two plus two, and Mayne had gotten made. He got in the pixies face and recited the exponents of two all the way up until 32768. The kid had then told him to shut it, or else. Mayne had been scared, but he looked the bully strait in the face.
"Mess with me, and you will wear your lunch."
The bully had just laughed and punched Mayne. Hard. And then threatened Mayne about telling his teacher. Mayne had then told Holly, and she sat him down on the couch.
"Did I ever teach you Artemis's rules?"
Mayne shook his head. "No."
Holly smiled. "you don't need to know them all, you just need to know rule six."
Mayne looked up. "What is it?"
The next day, The pixie was cornered by Holly and Mayne before school, and ended up wearing some peanut butter hair gel, bread tie, potato chip necklace, and a ding-dong hat. The principal called him to his office, and when asked why he did it, he answered "On suggestion of one Artemis Fowl. Can I go now?"
The color drained from The principals face. The name Artemis Fowl was not to be taken lightly. Mayne stood up, and walked out of the office.
Two days later, a fortune cookie knocked the pixie bully on the head, he opened it to find a message.
Don't make threats. Make promises.

Kay, rule six! taking suggestion, blah blah blah. I always wanted to use Mayne more, he was mentioned in book 7, and it is also mention twice that Foaly has kids.
