Loading ...“Captain, I will ask you again, what do you mean?”
“Like I said before, a phone signal that pinged us came from here less than a half hour ago and Foaly just wants me to make sure that you two didn’t do anything stupid and mentioned us to Artemis’ parents over the phone or something like that.”
Butler looked confused, “But, the only person who even used a phone today was Cassandra.”
“Who?”
“She’s a girl that Artemis met during school today.”
Holly couldn’t help but snort, “What about that Minerva girl?”
“We haven’t got around to tell her yet.”
She nodded, “I see. Continue with this girl, Cassandra.”
“Well.. Artemis is tutoring her and they just had their first session today.”
“Are you sure it was a “study” session?”
“I was watching them from the security room.”
“Anyway, did she happen to make a phone call?”
“She said her father was injured and we were about to go and take her to the hospital.”
“Hmm… I’ll be back later to tell you the details, but don’t think that I won’t be back.”
Butler grinned, “We’ll be waiting.”
Holly smiled back and gave him a thumbs-up and then shimmered out of sight.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
About 15 minutes later, Artemis, Butler, and Cassandra were on course to O’Reilly’s where the injured father was being held… or so the two males thought. Butler was driving, but he could still hear the teens talking. But the weird thing was, he couldn’t help but think that there was something fishy about the fairies being pinged while at the same time, Cassandra was on the phone. That thought alone troubled him, but he risked a glimpse of them in the rear view mirror. His charge looked as normal as he could remember him, but… he was smiling. Even his eyes were smiling!
I shouldn’t ruin Artemis’ chance of having a healthy relationship with a girl that he met in school. It’ll be a good experience for him.
Butler smiled to himself at that last thought. He turned his head and saw the two of them smiling at each other, “Hey, we’re here.”
Cassandra looked at him with the most innocent blue eyes and smile and got out of the car without a word.
What was I thinking? She couldn’t have been the one to ping our friends. Maybe Foaly and Holly are wrong…
Artemis got out of the car and followed Cassie so far as the front automatic doors.
He touched her arm which made her look at him, “What is it, Artemis?”
He opened his mouth to speak, but no words would come out.
Another effect of puberty… when will the torment end?!
Artemis finally got his train of thought back on track, “Would you like me to accompany you?”
Cassandra smiled gently, “Actually, Artemis, if you don’t mind…I… kind of wanted to…”
He smiled sadly, “It’s all right. I understand.” Butler honked the horn signaling that he was getting annoyed. Artemis had to make this quick, “Uh, Cassandra?” He looked at the ground instead of her into her eyes like he would anybody else, ”I-If you would like… we, uh, we could drop you off home when you’re finished…?”
Since the genius’ head was looking at the ground, she didn’t noticed the flabbergasted looked plastered on his face which was clearly saying: What in the world did I just say?! But he didn’t notice the upset frown that came upon his invitee’s face.
Ugh! I don’t have time for this! I need to get to Master Kane! But… maybe I could use this to my advantage….
At that moment, Cassandra’s frown turned into a devilish smirk which morphed into the innocent smile, “I don’t think so Artemis.” His head shot up and his eyes showed fear and sadness (which he was trying to mask, but failed). “But… maybe, we can hang out later?”
Artemis noticed that her face was tinged with a light pink and his face was tinged with a light red, “Tha-That’d be nice. When and where?”
“How about Saturday, your house, at… noon?”
“Perfect?”
Cassie giggled, “Is it a date?”
Artemis looked away at the word ‘date’ but said nevertheless, “It is a date.”
He closed his eyes to calm himself down and the last thing he heard before heading back to the Bentley was her receding footsteps.

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
