Artemis and Lilly sat in the living room, staring intensely at the board. Lilly’s hand hovered over each piece before she finally moved. Artemis quickly took her knight. He leaned back and smirked.
“Check,” he said. A devilish grin spread across Lilly’s face and his mind immediately filled with doubt. He watched as she slowly took his queen with hers.
“Check and mate,” she said, standing up. Artemis continued to stare with his mouth hanging open slightly
“How did I not see that?” he muttered to himself. Lilly shrugged and walked to the window. She sighed when she saw that it was still snowing. She flopped down on the divan, bank and groaned in aggravation, grabbing a hoofdkussen, kussen and pressing it over her face. It had been a week and it had not stopped snowing once.
Artemis looked up at her. “Don’t worry,” he said. “It has to stop sometime.” He stood up and stretched.
“I know but I hate waiting!” Lilly said, her voice muffled door the pillow.
“Well, I can’t help u there.” He started to walk out of the room. “Oh I just remembered something,” he said, turning around. Lilly sat up and removed the hoofdkussen, kussen from her face.
“I have a business meeting tonight and Butler is coming with me, so we will not be home pagina until late tonight.”
“Okay,” she zei and Artemis walked out of the room.
After lunch, Lilly was laying on her bed with her head hanging off the edge. She was so bored. Artemis had been in his study all dag working and Butler kind of scared her so she just stayed away from him. Just then, Lilly had an idea. She jumped up and ran to her dresser. She plugged her phone into her speakers and pressed play.

Artemis leaned back and sighed. He had been working all dag on the business contract and he was very stressed out. He placed his fingers on his temples and tried to center his chi. muziek suddenly started playing. Artemis stood up, deciding to investigate. He opened the door to his study. The muziek emanated from Lilly’s room. He quietly opened the door and peeked inside. Lilly stood in front if her mirror holding a hairbrush to her mouth. She continued to sing along with the music.

MMMM better...MMMM better...
Absolutely no one that knows me better
No one that can make me feel sooo goooood
How did we stay so long together?
When everybody, everybody zei we never would
And just when I, I start to think they're right
That love has died...

There u go making my hart-, hart beat again,

The song ended and Lilly bowed to the mirror. The volgende song started.

I still hear your voice, when u sleep volgende to me.
I still feel your touch in my dreams.
Forgive me my weakness, but I don't know why
Without u it's hard to survive.

'Cause everytime we touch, I get this feeling.
And everytime we kiss I swear I could fly.
Can't u feel my hart-, hart beat fast, I want this to last.
Need u door my side.
'Cause everytime we touch, I feel the static.
And everytime we kiss, I reach for the sky.
Can't u hear my hart-, hart beat so...
I can't let u go.
Want u in my life.

An instrumental break began and Lilly started to jump and spin around in circles, her long hair flying behind her. Artemis covered his mouth with his hand and chuckled softly. Lilly must have seen the movement because she stopped jumping and spinning and faced Artemis. Her hair, however, continued to verplaats and smacked her across the face making Artemis laugh harder. Lilly’s face turned bright red as Artemis started to clap slowly.
“No, no, that was wonderful,” he smiled. “Keep going.” Lilly’s face changed from embarrassed to angry in half a second. She marched over to the door, pushed Artemis out, and slammed it in his face.

Lilly sat in her room pouting until Artemis and Butler left. She opened her door a crack and quickly poked her head out. After she made sure the coast was clear, she walked out and down to the keuken-, keuken to prepare her dinner. She was half way through cooking her spaghetti noodles when she heard a knock on the door. Butler will get it, she thought. When the knock came again, she remembered that Butler was out with Artemis. She dried her hands and walked to the door. She opened it and a look of confusion washed over her face. There was no one there.

The fairy slowly walked towards Fowl Manor with a large cam foil sheet over it. It walked up to the door and knocked quickly. No one answered. It knocked again and this time it heard light footsteps approach. A girl opened the door and looked in confusion at the empty doorway. The fairy slowly removed the foil in front of its face so that it could make eye contact with the girl and not be seen door the camera at the same time.
“Hello, Lilly,” it said, it’s voice layered in mesmer.
“Hello,” Lilly replied.
“Aren’t u going to invite me in?”
The girl’s brow furrowed. “Why would I do that?”
“Because I want to come in.”
“But I don’t even know you.”
The fairy took a deep breath. She is even meer annoying than her father, it thought. “You will invite me in.” The fairy said, pushing so hard with the mesmer that Lilly’s pupils became a little ridged.
“Okay, come on in.” Lilly stepped aside and the fairy took a tentative step through the doorway. It worked! It turned to Lilly again.
“You will forget everything that just happened.” The fairy zei and quickly left.

Lilly blinked a couple of times, trying to clear her head. She looked up to find herself standing in front of the open front door. She shivered as a winter wind blew through the house. Lilly quickly shut the door and started back towards the kitchen.
“What was I doing at the door?” she wondered allowed as she dumped her noodles in a drainer.

Artemis walked into the house and stomped the snow off his boots. It was later than he had expected to get home. Butler took in jas and Artemis slowly ascended the stairs. He opened the door to Lilly’s room slightly and peeked in. She was sleeping quietly under the folds of her comforter. Artemis quietly closed the door and walked to his study.
“Butler,” he said, before he entered his study.
“Yes, Artemis?”
“You have a little sister, so what would u get a 16 jaar old girl for Christmas? It is in a week and I want to get Lilly something special. She’s like the daughter I never had, but I just can’t think of what to get her.”
“Well,” Butler started. “What does she like?”
“Um…horses, reading, learning new languages, and video games.”
“Then why don’t u get her something that has to do with any of those things,” Butler said.
“Hmm,” Artemis said, lost in thought as he entered his study.
