Stuck With You: An Artemis Fowl Fan-Fic (Editing)

Chapter 6 - Disastrous Reunion

It's Sunday, at 8 o'clock in the morning. Athena checked her watch and jumped out of bed. "Eeek! It's Sunday! It's here! It's here! It's finally here!" She jumped around in glee.

Just then, Clarissa burst into the room, "What's the matter, Anna? Why on earth are you screaming first ting in the morning?!"

Athena laughed seeing her best friend like that. Clarissa's hair was a mess and she was tired from running. "Sorry, Ris. I'm just really really really excited to see Minerva again. Sorry if my screaming woke you up. Go back to sleep, sis."

Clarissa shrugged, "No point, really. I can't fall asleep after I've woken up. I guess I'm almost as excited as you to see her again."

"So, you're not happy to see Minerva?"

"Of course not, silly. I just don't express excitement like you do. I don't go nuts by jumping all around and screaming like a wierdo."

"Oh...Hey! Who are you calling a wierdo?!"

Clarissa threw her head back and laughed, "Just kidding. You know I'd never call you a freak, Anna!"

Athena scowled, "Well you just did."

"Okay, okay," she raised her hands up, "Now, what do you say we make some breakfast and wreck the kitchen?"

Now it's Athena's turn to laugh, "Sounds good to me."

After reaching the kitchen, Athena and Clarissa made their breakfast. After eating and getting ready, Athena fished the car keys gingerly from a peg on the wall.

"I think I'll drive this time," countered Clarissa.

"I don't think so, Ris. Remember the last time you drove?"

It was horrific; they nearly crashed into the bridge, all because Clarissa was nervous. "Well, that was because I was in a reasonably bad mood. Like you can do any better?"

Athena frowned, "I've been TRAINED to pilot any vehicle, in land, water or sky. Or, have you forgotten that?"

They blinked. Once, twice, three times. Then Athena spluttered and they both ended up laughing. "I'm still driving, though." winked Clarissa.

"As if!" countered Athena.

Clarissa headed for the left door and Athena headed for the right. Once they were in the car, Athena winked playfully at a very confused Clarissa, "This is Ireland, Riss. Not New York anymore."

It's true. Although she was born in Beijing, where they drive on the right side of the vehicle, Clarissa Victinie has just visited her friends and family in New York for a year, and has gotten used to driving on the left. Now that she's in Ireland, she's gonna need some re-getting-used-to.

They drove to the Dublin Airport and parked the car. There, in terminal one, they saw Minerva holding a suitcase in one hand and a phone in the other. "Minerva!" called Clarissa.

Minerva turned and rushed to hug her two best friends. "Clarissa! Athena! It's good to see you both. How have you been?"

"Great, Minerva. You?"

They trio continued chatting and laughing the whole hour through.

Once they'd finished lunch, Minerva saw that Athena was dialing someone. "Who are you calling, Anna?"

Athena replied with a smile, "Artemis Fowl. Thought you might wanna talk to him. Anyhow, I PROMISED him I'll call him."

Artemis Fowl? She hasn't heard of him for so many years. She thought he was dead. He's back now?
