A Bad Day, Or Not? CHAPTER 7 ADDED 30/8/07!!!

Loading ...Okay, this was something I made up for school. So if it sounds like I’m treating you as if you know nothing about Artemis Fowl, don’t get angry as it was meant for my teacher.Disclaimer: I don’t own Artemis Fowl. If I did then I would make him come to this dimension permanently. And hack into accounts for me to up my funds. XD
CHAPTER ONE
I had had a bad day. I had walked into a pole, tripped over a chair in class, had my locker key stolen (for which I had to chase after, and eventually got it back), dropped my chocolate biscuit on the ground (which I promptly threw in the bin), lost two pens and wandered around all alone at lunchtime. There was only one remedy for a day as horrible as this: a book. The ability to detach yourself from the real world is one that you should use. But not just any book would suffice; it had to be an Artemis Fowl book, my favourite series on the entire planet, and below it as well. I grabbed the one I had stored in my locker (for emergencies of course) and flipped to where I had bookmarked it. After a few pages of action and mild humour, I sighed. If only I could be a part of the book. I would be able to know what happens, not like real life. Just as I was in fully-fledged daydream mode, I remembered that I had to go to the school library to wait to be taken home. Feeling rather depressed, I trudged up the many concrete steps to the library. I unceremoniously dropped my bag near the doorway, signed in and found a cosy corner in which to read, and also hide from the world. Sleepily I read a chapter, but as I read slower and slower and my eyes became heavier and heavier, I finally surrendered to the land of slumber. I felt a sensation as if I was falling but instead of jerking and waking myself up as usual, I let myself fall deeper and deeper into the blackness.For some reason I always seem to be in control of myself whenever I dream. Not like others who feel like they’re watching TV with themselves as the star. Which was fortunate for me when I realised that, in my dream, I was in Fowl manor. Fowl manor is a place from, you guessed it, Artemis Fowl.”Wow,” I gasped. “Cool.”I ran around to the front of the manor, where the huge driveway and water feature was, just as described in the book. As soon as I had had enough of ogling at it, I wondered if I should head up to the main doorway. Would it be safe? I gave an internal shrug, and headed for the door. When I arrived, I wondered whether to knock. Would the door be locked? I raised a hand to check, when the door suddenly opened. Looking around suspiciously I entered. The main hall was deserted. “Hello,” I said loudly. “Anyone here?” No answer .But it was a very large manor. It was possible they didn’t hear me. Yeah right. There was state-of-the-art cameras everywhere, and Butler, Artemis’s bodyguard, would surely be watching. I may as well go and find Artemis’s study, because if he was in the manor, that’s where he would be. Somehow I managed to find his study. Something to do with the steel door and keypad out the front. I keyed in the password 0109, which according to the last book was his birthday. To my utmost surprise the door opened, and I glimpsed a pale, raven haired teen (or tween?) at a desk before suddenly I found a mountain in front of me, pointing a Sig Sauer at my head. This mountain was of course Butler with his usual weapon of choice.
“Uh oh,” I muttered.
“Uh oh indeed,” spoke the man mountain in his deep voice, “I’d like to know how you got here.”
After being dumbfounded for a few seconds, Artemis, who was the pale adolescent of course, got up and stood beside Butler. My brain instantly went into overdrive. There he was!
“No way!” I gasped.
Butler tightened his hold on the gun.
“She recognised you. She could be a spy.”
Artemis laughed in amusement.
“She is about 13. I hardly think she would be.” He said in his Irish accent, soft and clipped.
Finally I decided to say something moderately intelligent. “Well you were a kidnapper at 12. And Butler, surprisingly I recognised you first. Something to do with you blocking my entire vision and holding a Sig Sauer at me. Which is still being held at me. I would appreciate it if you could lower it.” Phew, I hadn’t stuttered, or said anything stupid.
“How do you know about me?” Artemis asked. “And one of my most secretive business venture?”
I snorted. “Business venture? Artemis, how old are you now?”
“13, although I don’t see how it matters to you, even if I am the same age.”
Ah. That explained a lot. Even though I had suspected it, we were either after the first book, before or after the second book and before the third book.
“Have you had an arctic incident yet? Or a visit to Murmansk?”
He looked suspicious. “No. Why do you ask?”
“Never mind.” Now I knew when we were. That was good.
“I hate to interrupt this,” Butler interrupted. “But we still have to answer the question of how a total stranger managed to get in to a manor with top security, and then break in to the study.”
“I didn’t break in,” I said indignantly. “I put the password in.”
Oops, I shouldn’t have said that. They’ll be wondering how I knew the password, I thought. Now I was stuck. Whether this was a dream or not, I couldn’t tell them that their lives were a book series. A fiction book series.
“Umm…”
Just then, I sensed that the scene was fading in front of my eyes. Oh no! The dream must be ending. Just as it was about to disappear fully I grabbed Artemis, to see if I could touch him. I could. Cool. It was a worthwhile dream.
I woke with a jerk. Damn. That was the best dream. It was so real. I got up to leave.
“Where am I” someone with an Irish accent said.
Wow. That reminds me of Artemis…
Then I got a tap on the shoulder. I whirled around.
“I repeat,” Artemis said. “Where am I?”
March 5th, 2007 at 2:52 pm
I thought it was great! I hope you got an ‘A+’ on your assignment. You should definitely write more…
Oh, and I wasn’t sure where to put this, because it doesn’t seem to fit anywhere. I put it in ‘other’, if you think it should go somewhere else just say so.
March 5th, 2007 at 6:36 pm
WOW!!! Even i could’nt write that well, adn i’m da best in my class!! I luv ur story!!!!
March 5th, 2007 at 10:18 pm
Thanks!
MMK, I haven’t got my assignment back yet. Lazy teacher… XD
It should be in Other for now, but it may lean towards another category when I update.
I’m thinking about involving two geeks from my classes in the next chapter.
Should someone else appear? From the AF world that is…
March 6th, 2007 at 1:01 am
I loved it, adorable!
I wanna be in it! (just kidding)
Adding Holly would be cool though, if you really want to know who would be cool in it. Or Mulch.
March 6th, 2007 at 1:17 am
I think just Artemis is good, for now at least… after all, he’s the one you touched in the dream, right?
Anyway, I think you should just take him around school with you. He can make sarcastic comments, and do your homework. Or something. And he’ll have to disguise himself from everybody who’s read the books.
You should write Opal in as a fangirl.
March 6th, 2007 at 9:56 am
Perhaps… XD
Spoiler! (Kinda…)
I was going to make him run somewhere to get away from the nerds (cause one of them reads Artemis Fowl) and then tell him how his life is a fiction book. It’s the end of the school day so I was going to have to bring him home or somewhere. 0.o
Then somehow I could make Mulch appear. I like him, he’s funny! Maybe Artemis could work out how he got here and work out how to get others here. Coolness! I already have a plan… but it must wait, as I have homework and a test tomorrow.
Spoiler Over.
BlackOpal, do you want to have a cameo appearance as a fangirl? Or something else? Waitress? I’m thinking (Spoiler!) that I can take Artemis to a restaurant/club that my dad takes me to. And the place called KidSpace in there. That would be VERY funny… XD (Un-Spoiler)
Kay, must study for math test. Bbfn!
March 6th, 2007 at 3:46 pm
I think all of that sounds brilliant, I can’t wait!
Good luck on your test
March 11th, 2007 at 12:24 am
I liked it and i dont know if this was a real dream but if it was it whould be the BEST DREAM EVER!!!
March 12th, 2007 at 8:51 am
Where have my other chapters gone? Ahhh!!!!!
March 28th, 2007 at 12:53 am
ah my gosh I can’t wait to read more on it. It’s exciting and funny. That is a great dream.
March 28th, 2007 at 9:51 am
I did continue, but the chapters are missing. Rrgh, MM!
April 14th, 2007 at 8:10 pm
suweat nicople please write more!!! so ur 12 then ha u told me ur age indirectly so know I know
April 17th, 2007 at 11:57 pm
KEEP WRITING!!!!!! I THINK THIS IS AN AWESOME STORY, I ALSO THINK THAT MINERVA AND HOLLY APPEARING WOULD BE AWESOME!!
HOLLY COULD HAVE BEEN DRAGGED OUT OF THE DREAM BY THEIR SWAPPED EYES, YA’ KNOW, AS FOR MINERVA…………SHE COULD HAVE BEEN SUCKED OUT OF THE DREAM REALM BY A RIFT THAT WAS CREATED WHEN YOU DRAGGED ARTEMIS WITH YOU INTO REALITY.
April 18th, 2007 at 9:27 am
Katya, someone FINALLY noticed. *rollseyes* But I’m almost 13.
I’ll go find the missing chapters Foaly. I don’t think Minerva or Holly are going to appear for a while yet, but I might switch to their point of view (or Butler’s).
April 18th, 2007 at 1:58 pm
OKAY, BUT YOU WILL INCLUDE MINERVA, RIGHT?, RIGHT?, RIGHT??????????????????????????????????
April 18th, 2007 at 10:49 pm
I just read ur new chapters I is suweat so these are the chapters u kept yelling at mm about right ? foaly this artemis is BEFOR minerva time soo hopefuly nothing good will happen to her or she won,t even be meantioned ! but its realy good so write more!!!!!!k?
April 19th, 2007 at 12:40 am
I’m glad the chapters are back up
Anyway, the story is still very good, but I already complimented it to death, so here’s some constructive criticism-
Artemis is OOC in Chapter 3. I know you made a little note about it, but the part that seemed most unlike him to me wasn’t where you put the note, it was the discussion about your art. I mean, it’s good and all, but that conversation wasn’t like Artemis and didn’t help the story any.
April 20th, 2007 at 9:46 am
I kind of realise that, but I wanted to indulge my ego… XD Should I change it? Or delete it completely? (I would be willing… *gasp*)
Sorry, Minerva won’t appear unless I keep writinf for a loooong, loooong time. We’re just after book 1. Well, kinda.
I shall try to update Chapter 4. And trust me, Artemis will be very in-character now.
I AM Artemis… 0.o
April 23rd, 2007 at 9:47 pm
This is soooooooo cute,keep writing!!!!
April 24th, 2007 at 3:00 am

THIS IS THE PERFECT STORY, I, THE KING OF FINDING FLAWS IN EVERY THING IN THE WORLD, COULDN’T FIND A SINGLE FLAW IN THIS(EXCEPT THAT MINERVA AND I ARE NOT INCLUDED) STORY, PLEASE UPDATE A.S.A.P.!
P.S. DON’T FORGET MY IDEAS (I COULD HAVE WRITEN A STORY WITH SIMILAR STUFF, BUT I CAN’T STRECH MY THOUGHTS AS MUCH AS I WANT) THEY ARE PERFECT FOR ADDING A TOUCH OF ACTION TO STORIES WITH RIPS IN THE FABRIC OF ALL REALITY!!!!
April 24th, 2007 at 4:49 pm
*gasp* sorry dont mind me just got home.Me thinks it good.

I feel exactly the same way, every time that i have a horrible day, I read one of the Artemis Fowl books and one hour later, I come out of my book smiling, i also use them to help with anger management.
May 14th, 2007 at 10:35 pm
Please update very soon!!!!!!!!
May 16th, 2007 at 2:16 pm

You can have a cameo appearance. Would you like to be a cashier at one of the stores? We can only have Zac though, because it will be on the employee badge.
May 31st, 2007 at 7:17 am
Yes I can be a cashier
June 1st, 2007 at 9:08 am
When are you going to write the chapter that has me in it?
June 1st, 2007 at 9:34 am
Jeez, I have homework. It’s been what, one day? Patience, my friend, is a virtue.
June 1st, 2007 at 9:37 am
comme ci comme ca
mais l’hâte calme j’augmente ne soigne pas de cette vertu
Ive been learning french in school
it says:
OK
but still hurry up i don’t care about that virtue
June 1st, 2007 at 9:59 pm
VIRTUE RULEZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You might want to get a beta, that’s all that I can think of, and, I think what Foaly meant was that there was a tear in the fabric of space and time in the real and DREAM worlds, and he has dreams about what would happen after the fifth book after falling asleep while reading, due to sleep deprivation, of course, that’s how good it is.
June 2nd, 2007 at 8:38 am
Huh? I already have how it’s possible planned, and it involves alternate universes. That’s all I’m saying.
Because of all the nagging, I will start the next chappie. So be happy.
Why would I need a beta? I practically AM a beta.
June 4th, 2007 at 8:01 am
Hello just thought i’d say hello so HELLO PPLZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do yas get da picta that i LURVE IT!
June 12th, 2007 at 1:12 am
Um, the reason I said that was becuase I couldn’t think of any constructive criticism, but, mabey, you could, um……………….OH! Mabey you could make Artemis act like more of a smart-aleky-braniac with a know-it-all-attitude.
June 12th, 2007 at 10:37 am
Hehe, don’t worry, I will… (I’m feeling sorry for the me in my story…
)
Sorry it’s taking so long, I’ve got exams, and homework, and art to finish. *sigh* Real life, if only it wouldn’t interfere.

June 19th, 2007 at 9:51 am
>:(
:O
June 19th, 2007 at 10:19 am
: | New chapter is up! Celebrate!
June 20th, 2007 at 12:41 am
It’s really good. And funny. And it makes me feel bad for theyou in the sory, because Artemis is going to maul you. Which is part of why it’s good. Not because I want you mauled, but because Artemis’s indignation is amusing.
June 24th, 2007 at 8:49 am
Ah well, that’s good. I think. I was trying to be funny.
)
And where/when is he going to maul me? And what do you mean by maul? (How sad, I’m the author and I don’t even get what you’re talking about in my story
June 25th, 2007 at 12:49 am
I wasn’t really clear- I wrote that when I was really doing something else. Anyway, I meant that… well… I don’t know, Artemis seemed not to be very happy with you. I don’t really think that he was about to hurt you, but people on the other end of his plans ususally end up even unhappier than he is.
That doesn’t seem any clearer. I hope you understood it…
June 25th, 2007 at 8:46 am
Well, that made a bit more sense I guess…
Now, if you’re eating something right now, stop eating it. If you’re precariously balancing something breakable, put it down. For here is a sneak preview of the Artemis who shall star in a sim-story of this (AKA this story with pretty sim pictures to look at) fanfiction along with me and any other characters/people who worm their way into my fanfic. Okay, enough blabbering. Heeeeeeeeeeere’s Artemis!

October 8th, 2007 at 3:58 am
Hey, the least you could do is tell Nicole why you didn’t like it. How else is she supposed to improve?
I wonder what happened to Nicole, though. I know she went on vacation a while ago, but wouldn’t she be back by now? I don’t know. Anyway, I hope she comes back soon- among other things, I’d love to see this story updated.
October 23rd, 2007 at 8:24 pm
Yeah, I havn’t talked to her in ages or had any reviews…

lol ,
thats the same with my brother …..
December 2nd, 2007 at 8:52 am
OMG! I am so sorry that I haven’t been here to update, for pretty much ever. I have been weighed down with school so much. Think 12 pm bedtime every night, if I’m lucky. It was worth it though. I got dux of my year. But now that it is nearly Christmas holidays I will have time to finish everything, and hopefully no one hates me. You can hate my story though. I just read it and realised how crap it is. I’ve gotten better in six months. I hope. XD
Does anyone reeeeeaaaaaaallly want me to continue, or would you all rather I start a better, new story, involving everyone in the AF world and maybe me? Because this story isn’t going anywhere real fast, and I could do much better now. So, what do you think?
December 2nd, 2007 at 9:59 am
i reallly badly dadly madly want u to contiune plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
December 3rd, 2007 at 12:38 am
I’m so glad you’re back, Nicole!
If you really feel this story isn’t going anywhere, then by all means, start a new one. You shouldn’t keep writing something you don’t enjoy. I do like this one a lot though, so it’s really up to you.
Oh, and somebody else commented and told you to continue, but I deleted it accidentally.
December 3rd, 2007 at 1:09 am
That would be me.
December 5th, 2007 at 5:26 am
finaly u update
I say if u want start a new story but pleeeeeeeeeze continu this one
December 5th, 2007 at 1:50 pm
HI!!! Yes I would like you to continnue , but then again this is all up to you…….. i do wish u would though.
May 11th, 2008 at 12:07 am
Please continue.I really want to know what happens next.Please please please.
June 30th, 2008 at 8:54 pm
Well, I think this story is awesome and really really really want you to continue, but it’s up to you: if you want, you can continue and make us all happy or if you don’t want, you can start a new one.
I found one flaw: Artemis was a little OOC in some parts but it doesn’t affect the story so go on! Still, it’s your decision.
August 4th, 2008 at 8:16 am
Woah!!!
Hey, I love it!
Maybe M and H could appear cause they were worried about Artemis. H could be there because of the eyes… hang on, that didn’t happen yet! So then maybe they could appear because they foud the dimension rift that was created when you pulled Artemis away. Butler was unsure of the thing, so he called them both. Then they accidentally get sucked in or something and appear… somewhere. So now you gotta go and find the dimension rift so they can all go back. *cry, sob* Cause you don’t know where the rift is in this world, but it it somwhere in Australia, your city. Something like.
I absolutely loved it, or what you’ve written so far. Just one thing. Maybe you should try and add more paragraghs, shorter too. I’m getting a headache reading the words.
Waiting, waiting, and waiting,
Helen
