~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Foaly was actually relaxing for once and was sipping a cup of nettle when his computer blared making him spill the orange liquid all over his white lab coat.
“Aw, man! That’s gonna be hard to get out, even with our purifiers!” Then he started to sulk, “I guess I better see what’s in Frond’s name is going on.”
By dragging both of his hands over the keyboard, he located the problem–they were being pinged.
Foaly paled, “This.. is not good.”
He rushed out of the Ops Booth in full gallop to the Commander’s office. The double doors to the office were opened before he got there and landed on his “new” boss.
“D’Arvit! Foaly, get off of me!”
“Sorry, Trou–I mean, Commander.”
Commander Trouble Kelp sighed, “How many times do I have to tell you, Foaly, just call me Trouble.”
“Sorry.”
He smiled, “I’m glad you’re sorry…… but can you get the hell off of me now?!!!”
Quickly, the centaur got up and pulled the elf with him and dusted his uniform. “Sorry.”
“Just stop apologizing and tell me why did you rush in here in the first place.”
“We got pinged.”
Trouble blinked for a few moments and then scowled, “Well, why didn’t you tell me instead of knocking me down?!”
“B-But I-I–”
“Never mind.” He snapped, “Come on! Let’s go.”
And together they sped off towards the Ops Booth. When they got there, Holly was waiting and Foaly’s computer was blinking a bright red light instead of blaring.
Foaly looked at his best friend dumbstruck, “When did you get here?”
“When the dumb siren wouldn’t shut off. What’s the problem?”
Foaly opened his mouth, but Trouble beat him to the punch, “We’ve been pinged.”
Holly’s face only showed fear and then it showed anger and looked at Foaly, “Well?! Who pinged us?”
“Will you two please let me concertrate?!” After a couple of five minutes, he announced, “The good news is it’s an audio signal but…”
The male elf raised an eyebrow, “But…?”
“But it took me longer than usual because it’s operating on a private but almost untraceable channel. Even with our technology, which shouldn’t even be possible.”
Holly looked at him, “Is there bad news?”
Foaly bit his lip and said in disbelief, “The signal’s coming from Fowl’s house.”
The two elves lost the color in their faces as well. Holly swallowed and turned on her heel yelling as she looked back at them, “I’m gonna go pay him a visit!”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As Cassie snapped her phone shut for the second time, an unusual mixture of emotions overtook the palette of her face: content, happiness, calmness, and a faintly noticeable hint of wickedness was thrown in there as well.
The library door swung open and her long mahogany hair billowed and framed her face as a result.
“Cassandra?”
She noticed it as the bass tones of Butler layered with a hint of worriedness buried in ther somewhere. She breathed in deeply and faced the massive man and his smaller charge with a “sad and worried” face, “It’s my dad… he’s–he’s–”
Artemis looked her into her ocean blue eyes, “What’s wrong with your father?”
Her eyes cascaded down to the terra cotta style flooring, “He got into an accident.”
His own “blue” eyes had filled with worry and… understanding, “Would you like to cut this study session short?”
Cassandra smiled hopefully at him, “Please?”
Artemis returned the smile in a smaller scale, “Of course.” He turned to Butler, “Warm up the Bentley please.”
“Of course.” Butler looked at his master’s student, “Would you like me to take your bag as well?”
She shook her head, “No, no thank you, Butler. I.. I want to hold onto it, if you don’t mind. To keep in touch with my mom.”
He smiled at her and then looked at the young genius standing in front of him and his smile turned into a smirk.
Looks like time travel has affected you… you and your feelings. But… I think it was our connections with our fairy friends… and not to mention puberty.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Holly was shielded and hovering right above the door, wating for someone to come out. And by “someone” she was thinking Artemis and how she was going to kill him for pinging them.., again. But to her dismay, Butler came outside instead.
Oh well, better than his mom, or dad.. or his baby brothers.
She mentally laughed at the last thing on that list and swooped down only to be caught in a bear hug by her grizzly friend. Holly looked at Butler through her visor and grinned, “How ya been?”
He grinned right back, turning his attention to the car, still holding her and speaking to her all at once, “I’ve been better.. yourself?”
“Okay.”
“I take it something has happened?” He inquired while turning the engine on.
Holly nodded and wrestled out of her big friend’s grasp, and went to perch on his shoulder instead, “Yes, something has happened. Foaly said we got pinged less than half an hour ago–”
“So you want Artemis and myself to go check out the suspects?”
“That won’t be necessary.”
Butler bent down, pretending to be checking something important under the car, “Why not?”
Holly bit her lip, “Because you two are the suspects.”
The manservant stopped, and jerked upright so fast that Holly flew off (without her wings) and landed in the hedges. Butler’s head darted in her direction, “What do you mean?”

March 2nd, 2008 at 4:42 am
I love it!!! This is probaly one of the best stories I have ever seen!!! Great spelling and Grammer, better then the usual story. Perfect plot, who the heck is “Master Kane”? ~Gasp~ Could it be Opal?!! OH!!! That would be so strange. Remember to put a twist, or otherwise it might become a bit boring…
March 3rd, 2008 at 1:02 am
Please update, I can’t wait to read it. If you need any ideas, just ask. I got’s a brain full of them for THIS amazing story.
March 3rd, 2008 at 1:34 pm
Yes! Symojen! Please! I need ideas bad!!!! And for the others as well if you can! Just not Old Friends, New Friends.
March 3rd, 2008 at 10:40 pm
YAY!AN UPDATE!
March 4th, 2008 at 6:14 am
Cool! Cassandra kinda reminds me of some characters that me and AYSN have done, really like it please continue!
March 4th, 2008 at 8:13 pm
WOOOHOOO an upd8!!! this is like my fave story ever (apart from Artemis Fowl of course). any ideas…er well how about cassie falls for artemis and then master kane who really likes cassie tries to ki..attack artemis or hold him hostage or something but noone can rescue artemis even the fairies as master kane knows about them and has some sort of shield against them but at the last minute cassie rescues him somehow by like (oh i don’t know) sacrificing herself or, here’s an extreme idea, bluerinsing master kane and they have a big white wedding and they all live happily ever after all live happily ever after. er…you might want to cut out the end.
I think I should stop typing now…
good luck with the rest of the story!!!!!
March 4th, 2008 at 8:15 pm
