No, I am not dead, and no, I am not discontinuing this story! I'm sorry, I've been trying to get TUT done, but now I have writer's block on that so I decided to update this. Thank you to BossMan1a22, MrsMidnight, ConmieMaheswaran, The AF Critic, drgraves129, LuvverOfThisFic(guest), woozoo(guest), DragonHood123, ArtemisFowlfan(guest), fairytailasaurus, and Rob165449 for reviewing the last chapter. I would like to thank BossMan1a22 for Trouble's dare, LuvverOfThisFic and jayjthebigmouth for Artemis' truth, and lots of people for Juliet's dare, although I modified it and reversed the people involved.

AF Critic, those three adjectives are underlined.

The rest of the group followed Holly as she literally pulled Trouble through the house to the back door, and pushed him out. D'Arvit, Trouble thought, if word of this gets out, my reputation is ruined. The LEP commander turned to Foaly. "You'd better not be taping this, centaur. I mean it. I will cut your paycheck in half, then cut that in half, if anyone below ground speaks of this." Foaly nodded and reluctantly put his phone away. He looked at Artemis, who, unbeknownst to Trouble, pulled his phone out.

Holly and the rest of the group stepped back as Butler walked forward and dumped half a bottle of oil on Trouble's head. He beckoned to Holly, who stepped forward beside him, and pushed Trouble forward. The oil shined in the sunlight, giving Trouble a glossy look. Holly crouched, ready to run, and counted down.

"3…2…1…GO!"

Trouble took off, Holly tailing close behind. Butler speed walked, but somehow managed to stay close behind Holly.

After about five minutes of running around the yard, Holly pounced and grabbed Trouble's shoulders. She yanked him back and threw him on the ground. When he tried to throw her off of him, Butler stepped in and picked Trouble up, dangling him by the ankles. "And now, elf boy, it is time to dance."

Butler dropped the elf on a picnic table. Holly prodded him with a stick when he stood up. "Dance", she commanded.

"I don't know how to dance!", he protested.

She stepped back. "Well, I tried. Anyone else?"

No°1 walked up. "I think I have an idea. Commander, how good are your reflexes?"

Trouble looked genuinely scared now. "T-the best in the LEP.", he stuttered. Holly scowled at him. No°1 pointed his index finger at Trouble's foot, and a burst of red magic shot out. Trouble hurriedly picked up his foot before the magic touched it. No°1 raised his other finger, aiming at Trouble's head. He dodged that too. No°1 shot out more magic, faster, in different locations, until Trouble danced trying to dodge them all. For five minutes, everyone was rolling on the ground, laughing, except for No°1, Artemis, who was trying to hold his camera steady, and Butler, who was laughing but didn't think it very professional to be laying on the ground. After five minutes, Artemis managed to tell No°1 to stop.

"Oh, wow!", Juliet panted. "I wish I could see that again!"

"You can", Artemis answered, waving his phone in the air. "I got the whole thing on video."

Trouble glared at him. "Truth or dare, Mud Boy?"

Artemis thought for a moment. If he picked dare, Trouble would most likely dare him to delete the video. If he picked truth, Trouble would probably ask him an embarrassing question, most likely pertaining to Holly in some way. He thought while Holly hosed Trouble down.

"Truth", he finally decided once they were all back inside.

Trouble, who was wrapped in a pink towel with little blue roses all over it (much to his embarrassment), answered immediately. "Have you ever kissed someone, and if so, who?"

Artemis paled slightly. "You mean–"

"Before today."

Holly also paled slightly, silently willing the Mud Boy think up some crafty way to answer and not lie without giving them away.

Of course, No°1 knew the answer right away, and almost let out a gasp. Wow. Just wow. was all he could think.

Artemis took a deep breath before answering. '"Yes. I have."

Holly cringed. Butler and Juliet gasped. Mulch whistled. Trouble and Foaly grinned evilly.

"Is that so?", Trouble asked. "Who?"

Arte!is pretended to think. "Hmm… it was a while back… Beautiful girl, she was, probably still is. Her name started with an H, I think…"

"Wow.", Foaly murmured. "Artemis Fowl, the boy who never forgets anything, forgot the name of the girl he kissed?"

Arte!is shrugged, but didn't say anything. Holly sighed and relaxed. Butler, always alert, saw this movement and understood what it meant.

Trouble turned to No°1. "Is he lying?"

"No, he is not lying." He's not telling the entire truth, but he's not lying.

Then came an uncomfortable silence as everyone pondered this.

"Okay", Artemis declared after a while. "Juliet, truth or dare?"

"Hmm. Dare."

"I dare you to let Holly give you a makeover. Blindfolded. And you have to keep the makeup on for the rest of the game." Juliet's eyes widened and she gasped in horror. Holly smiled. She was going to enjoy this.

Ten minutes later, all of Juliet's makeup was on the dining room table(yes it took that long to get it all out), Holly was blindfolded, and Juliet was trying to come up with a way to get back at Artemis in her next dare.

"You ready, Mud Girl?"

"No."

Juliet felt the eye-shadow brush on her cheek, and the frigid concealer on her eyelids. The rough surface of the eyeliner brush was the last thing she felt on her face.

Twenty minutes later, Holly announced that she was done and took off her blindfold. She took one look at the girl in front of her and fell off the chair, laughing. She managed to get up and she and Juliet made their way to the family room.

Everyone tried so hard to contain their laughter when Juliet walked in. Most failed. Butler was the only one not laughing at his baby sister and her hideous makeup, which I will try to explain to you.

Juliet's face was a train wreck. There was sparkly green eye-shadow smeared all over her face, along with metallic blue, hot pink, and gold. Blood red lipstick was in stripes around her eyes, and different shades of blush covered her nose and cheeks in a fine powder. Concealer was smeared on her eyelids, and eyeliner topped it all off like stripes on a zebra.

Juliet glared at Artemis. "Show me a mirror.", she growled.

"Are you sure?", Foaly chuckled.

"I'm sure. Give me a damn mirror."

Artemis disappeared into another room and came back with a handheld mirror. "This is for making me play this game.", he explained before holding the mirror in front of her face.

Juliet screamed bloody murder as soon as she saw the monstrosity that was her face.

"Oh God, oh God, oh God! Please let me take it off, please!", she begged.

Artemis smirked and shook his head. "Nope. That was the dare. You can't take it off for the rest of the game."

Juliet slapped him across the face, then sauntered over to her chair and plopped down. She smiled as the perfect plan came together in her mind. Artemis would soon regret the very day he was born.

I have no idea what Juliet's plan is! I need ideas, people! Thank you. *bows and walks off stage*
