Artemis and Lilly sat in the living room, staring intensely at the board. Lillyâs hand hovered over each piece before she finally moved. Artemis quickly took her knight. He leaned back and smirked.
âCheck,â he said. A devilish grin spread across Lillyâs face and his mind immediately filled with doubt. He watched as she slowly took his Queen with hers.
âCheck and mate,â she said, standing up. Artemis continued to stare with his mouth hanging open slightly
âHow did I not see that?â 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 canapĂ© and groaned in aggravation, grabbing a oreiller and pressing it over her face. It had been a week and it had not stopped snowing once.
Artemis looked up at her. âDonât worry,â he said. âIt has to stop sometime.â He stood up and stretched.
âI know but I hate waiting!â Lilly said, her voice muffled par the pillow.
âWell, I canât help toi there.â He started to walk out of the room. âOh I just remembered something,â he said, turning around. Lilly sat up and removed the oreiller from her face.
âI have a business meeting tonight and Butler is coming with me, so we will not be accueil until late tonight.â
âOkay,â she a dit and Artemis walked out of the room.
After lunch, Lilly was laying on her lit with her head hanging off the edge. She was so bored. Artemis had been in his study all jour 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 jour on the business contract and he was very stressed out. He placed his fingers on his temples and tried to center his chi. musique suddenly started playing. Artemis stood up, deciding to investigate. He opened the door to his study. The musique emanated from Lillyâs 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

The song ended and Lilly bowed to the mirror. The suivant song started.
I still hear your voice, when toi sleep suivant to me.
I still feel your touch in my dreams.
Forgive me my weakness, but I don't know why
Without toi it's hard to survive.
'Cause everytime we touch, I get this feeling.
And everytime we Kiss I swear I could fly.
Can't toi feel my cĆur, coeur beat fast, I want this to last.
Need toi par my side.
'Cause everytime we touch, I feel the static.
And everytime we kiss, I reach for the sky.
Can't toi hear my cĆur, coeur beat so...
I can't let toi go.
Want toi 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 dĂ©placer and smacked her across the face making Artemis laugh harder. Lillyâs face turned bright red as Artemis started to clap slowly.
âNo, no, that was wonderful,â he smiled. âKeep going.â Lillyâs 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 cuisine 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 par the camera at the same time.
âHello, Lilly,â it said, itâs voice layered in mesmer.
âHello,â Lilly replied.
âArenât toi going to invite me in?â
The girlâs brow furrowed. âWhy would I do that?â
âBecause I want to come in.â
âBut I donât even know you.â
The fairy took a deep breath. She is even plus annoying than her father, it thought. âYou will invite me in.â The fairy said, pushing so hard with the mesmer that Lillyâs pupils became a little ridged.
âOkay, come on in.â Lilly stepped aside and the fairy took a tentative step through the doorway. It worked! It turned to Lilly again.
âYou will forget everything that just happened.â The fairy a dit 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.
âWhat was I doing at the door?â 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 manteau and Artemis slowly ascended the stairs. He opened the door to Lillyâs 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.
âButler,â he said, before he entered his study.
âYes, Artemis?â
âYou have a little sister, so what would toi get a 16 an old girl for Christmas? It is in a week and I want to get Lilly something special. Sheâs like the daughter I never had, but I just canât think of what to get her.â
âWell,â Butler started. âWhat does she like?â
âUmâŠhorses, reading, learning new languages, and video games.â
âThen why donât toi get her something that has to do with any of those things,â Butler said.
âHmm,â Artemis said, Lost in thought as he entered his study.
âCheck,â he said. A devilish grin spread across Lillyâs face and his mind immediately filled with doubt. He watched as she slowly took his Queen with hers.
âCheck and mate,â she said, standing up. Artemis continued to stare with his mouth hanging open slightly
