Like Father, Like Daughter

Here I am, back in my room. Dad grounded me again even though I’m already grounded. Now I’m double grounded. So yeah, I tied my sheets together and climbed out the window. I was doing pretty good till I got down to the window of dad’s study. Then I started hearing voices. Yeah, yeah, call me crazy if you will, but I’m telling you the truth. So I looked into the window and I saw mom and dad standing there looking down at this little three foot tall girl with red hair and wearing a black jumpsuit and…mechanical wings!
So I found a slightly open window and listened as hard as I could.
Dad said, “Holly, are you sure? Nothing has happened for the past sixteen years.”
“Yes,” mom said. “For the past sixteen years, our lives have been gloriously normal.”
“True,” the little girl said. “But what is normal? Years ago, when you and I were still having adventures with the LEP, that was considered normal for you, wasn’t it?”
Mom and dad looked at each other then dad said, “Yes, that is true, but if I do go with you on this one, my life will be in danger. I could die and with my daughter being only fifteen…”
“Yeah, Artemis,” the girl said. “Your life will be in danger. But if you and Minerva don’t go with me on this one, the whole world will be. There’s no telling what Amber will do.”
“But how do we know this Amber is really a threat?” mom said, being her normal skeptical self. “Just because she’s related to your old nemesis doesn’t mean she will take after her mother.”
“Uh huh,” the girl nodded. “But half of all of LEP’s successful missions have been successful because we were paranoid. We’ve been taking after Foaly a lot these days. Even some of our top officers are starting to wear foil hats.”
Dad thought and then he nodded and said, “I’m fully aware you’ll need me for this. I’ll do as best I can.”
“As will I,” mom said.
“Good,” the girl said. “But before I go, isn’t that your daughter hanging on her bed sheets outside the window?” It took me a while to figure out she was talking about me and my parents were staring right at me through the window.
So dad told me I was grounded for the next month. I got back to my room and my parents were all staring at me angrily for, like, half an hour, like all parents do when they’re really, really, really mad. So I managed to break the silence.
“What?”
Then my dad decided to speak like a normal person instead of giving me a scary, icy, vampire stare. “What on earth were you thinking?” he said. “You could have gotten yourself killed!”
“Yeah? So?” I said. “Like you’d care. You’d barely notice I was gone.”
“And on top of that,” he said, “you eavesdropped on a very important and private conversation.” Or something like that. Okay, so my memory’s not the greatest, give me a break here.
“With who?” I think I said. “That little girl in the Halloween costume?”
“I…I…yes,” he said. Wait, no, that can’t be right…dad’s never been speechless before has he? I mean, is it even possible for a genius to be speechless? I mean…nevermind.
I gave him that uh huh, sure look, or whatever it’s called. “Sooooo…you’ve been talking with little girls in Halloween costumes.”
Dad didn’t say anything just stormed out of the room and mom closely followed. Leaving me in my room. Where I have been for the past twenty four hours. Is it just me, or has every entry since the beginning of January 6th ended with me being grounded?

Oh, I really like this, I think you’ve got a really great idea for a character, I think. Constructive criticism: This would be a great first chapter to a story, but I don’t think it’s that great as a story in itself. I’m not sure how to describe it, but it doesn’t seem… self-contained.
September 23rd, 2007 at 5:14 pm
ok, thanks! so i should write a little more? sure, no problem. Thank you for telling me!:)
September 23rd, 2007 at 6:31 pm

September 23rd, 2007 at 9:27 pm

I just read chapter three. It’s still very good.
I can’t wait for her to figure out her father’s right (that will happen, right? Nevermind, don’t tell me).
October 26th, 2007 at 3:07 am
That was hilarious!!!! Can’t *giggle* stop *snort* LAUGHING! Very awesome.
October 26th, 2007 at 5:16 am

October 27th, 2007 at 12:57 pm
This rocks!! does she find out about the fairies though? plz let her, it would make her feel better!!
;) xoxox
October 28th, 2007 at 6:09 pm
no offense but this story doesn’t really have a point.
More action would make it better!
October 30th, 2007 at 5:59 am
don’t worry! i’m just building up to it!
November 1st, 2007 at 2:30 am

November 23rd, 2007 at 7:45 pm
wow. i just read ch.8! i really like your ideas! write more soon!
November 25th, 2007 at 1:55 am
Wow, it’s pretty original! I’m not quite sure if I like who Artemis III is, but we’ll see. Generally, when people are like her, they don’t care that much about social status anymore. I think that whole rant gets kind of old. It is quite addictive, though. keep it up!!
November 25th, 2007 at 2:11 am
i loved that u continued! keep it up!!!
November 25th, 2007 at 2:26 am
you you lied !!! she didn’t come and I still need a quarter!!! great story glad to see it contuned but that God comment was offenceve everyone belives in something!!! please keep going only don’t lie!!! stupid toothfairy!!
November 25th, 2007 at 3:22 am
yes most definatly! I agree with Carino Artemis 3 is um a little bit no, A LOT rude and well kind of now this is just my point of view a little bit on the gangster side. she scares me! *goes to hide under kitchen table* If u could soften her up a wee bit that would be wounderful!
p.s. I can’t hold it in any longer! I WAS ON TV!!!!!
YAAAAAAAAAA!
November 25th, 2007 at 3:35 am

November 25th, 2007 at 7:54 am

November 25th, 2007 at 4:14 pm

December 6th, 2007 at 6:49 am
I just read chapters 7 - 14. Very good still.
Though I’m starting to wish for more fairy-related plot. Not just the romance, though that’s nice too (just be careful not to overdo it)
December 6th, 2007 at 11:55 pm
nice , I totally like it! plz continue ,
December 7th, 2007 at 12:10 am
kool update!
December 8th, 2007 at 5:24 pm
MMK, you don’t have to be worried about me overdoing the romance. i’m not a romantic type of person. there’ll only be a little and there WILL be more fairy related stuff soon. thanks for reviewing!
December 8th, 2007 at 6:26 pm
Yes! More fairies! I really like it! continue!
December 20th, 2007 at 2:27 pm
I would like to see a continuation of the topic
December 31st, 2007 at 8:52 am
please continue! this is fabulose…(if thats how u spell the word)
January 27th, 2008 at 9:08 pm
r u going to upd8 this any more?
February 6th, 2008 at 4:36 am
Nice update, but I must say, I’m getting impatient to actually see fairies… assuming we get to. Artemis III’s school life is nice and everything, but it doesn’t interest me as much.
February 6th, 2008 at 5:15 am
u’ll see it! it’s coming up in the…next chapter or so? she learns a lot more about fairies. it doesn’t seem to have a point yet. i think i kind of got carried away with her normal life. oops.
February 6th, 2008 at 6:31 am
i like the school life parts. most good stories dont rush into it quickly so yea. luv the update!
February 10th, 2008 at 10:46 pm
Yeah, I’m not too impatient without the fairies. But please continue! I love the story!
February 15th, 2008 at 7:52 am
luv the update,….HAHAHAHA she got locked in a boot.
February 21st, 2008 at 5:21 am
omg.. wow.. well keep updating , I was kind of like “What the—–” when she got drunk and evrythig.. but w/e , upd8 soon lol!
February 21st, 2008 at 8:51 am
ohhh a coma,..great idea
March 6th, 2008 at 4:07 am
I like her getting drunk! Serve her right for thinking Opal is just a poor innocent fairy. ~shake fist~
March 9th, 2008 at 10:29 pm
LOL I like it!
March 9th, 2008 at 10:51 pm
Yay! Love it still! Get her out of there! Yay! Update soon!

Dun dun dunnnnnnnn. Love it! Write more!
March 31st, 2008 at 8:12 am
lol if i was jo i would be like…o..m…g…..TURTLES!! just to make the moment random. luv the update plz continue.
March 31st, 2008 at 6:47 pm
hm…that’s an idea…
March 31st, 2008 at 10:57 pm
Good to see you’re updating again! I’m glad the plot moved (not to rush you, of course- it’s your story, do what YOU like). It’s very interesting, I like your plot.
Though I’m guessing Artemis was mesmerized in the cell? If not then he was very OOC, completely giving up right away like that. Holly was OOC, too. Your original characters are great, but you have to be careful to keep the old ones in character. That’s my major piece of constuctive criticism.
Great job, though!
April 1st, 2008 at 12:19 am
thanks! i’ll try to make them a bit more in character. as i keep saying, i LOVE constructive criticism.
April 1st, 2008 at 2:32 am
I like it! Yeah! cool character, but some constuctive critisism would be: you need to start a new paragraph everytime someone else starts speaking, like:
“Hi Joe,” Bob said.
“Hi Bob, we’re all going to get killed by aliens!” replied Joe.
You get the picture, but other then that it’s good.
May 16th, 2008 at 10:22 pm
That was AWSOME!!!!! UPDATE PLEASE!!!!!
