Legolas really didn't know how they got to this place, but he was pretty sure it was Aragorn's fault, or he at least had something to do with it.

He spun around once, his cloak billowing behind him as he took in his surroundings, large grey mounds shot up from the ground, far into the sky, colour creatures zoomed this way and that, roaring as they went.

Elrohir coughed. "I don't think we're in Imaldris anymore." He pointed out looking around at the people who were staring at them curiously.

"Ya don't say?" Elladan said with a snort, making a big hand motion to their surroundings.

"Where are all the trees?" Legolas whispered, searching for any signs of the large plants, finding none.

"I think trees should be at the bottom of our priority list mellon-nin..." Aragorn said with a small grin.

"There has to be some trees somewhere, if there wasn't, we wouldn't be breathing!" Elrohir piped in.

Aragorn groaned. "Don't encourage him! Look, we need to figure out where we are!"

"You're in New York, mate!" One of the many humans passing by yelled to them, a bemused look on their face.

Elladan's nose crinkled up. "Never heard of such a place... Who is your ruler?"

The human took up a slightly confused look. "Uh, Obama I guess? I gotta run though, got a bus to catch. Cool costumes by the way!" The human said before taking off, probably towards the rogue 'bus' they spoke of.

"Costumes?" Legolas mumbled, examining his robe carefully. "These are not costumes..." he said, confused by the humans words.

Aragorn shrugged, unconsciously fingering his own cloak as he spoke. "These men are strange... We must be wary." He said, slowly drawing his sword from its sheath.

Legolas nodded in agreement, pull his bow from his back as they continued walking slowly.

"What is that?" Elrohir said in astonishment as he pointed to one of the many large screens plastered on the sides of the buildings.

"'Tis a giant," Elladan proclaimed in alarm as a shampoo ad started playing. "A naked she-giant!"

Legolas reacted instantly to Elladan's alarmed cry, notching an arrow and shooting it at the screen, effectively breaking it.

Alarmed gasps came from the crowds around them as the screen sparked out.

Aragorn looked warily around as heads turned to stare at Legolas in alarm. "Perhaps the she-giant was their goddess..." Aragorn mumbled.

"Drop your weapons now!" The group spun in alarm at the cry from behind them, a group of police officers stood, armed with guns.

Elrohir snorted. "You demand this when you are not armed yourself!"

The police officers looked momentarily confused by this statement. Legolas took the moment of confusion to notch an arrow, pointing it at the nearest officer.

"Legolas, daro!"

Legolas faltered slightly at the elvish cry that came from in the crowd as one of the officers shoved his way to the front of the group.

"Greg, what are you doing!? These people are insane!" Legolas heard one of the officers hiss to the man as he pulled his helmet off, his long gold hair falling out.

"Glorfindel!" The twins cried in a mix of surprise and confusion.

"Hand me your weapons." Glorfindel said seriously, holding his arms out to take them.

The group hesitated slightly, but handed him their weapons none the less.

Glorfindel nodded to them before turning back to the group of confused officers. "I will take them back to the station, the rest of you continue with your patrols." Glorfindel turned back to the group, grabbing hold of the twins arms and dragging them towards his police car, Legolas and Aragorn following slightly behind them.

As they reached the car, Glorfindel pulled the twins into a fierce hug. "We searched for you for many years, your father nearly faded many times..." Glorfindel said with a sigh as he pulled away from the twins, opening the side door of the car as he did so. "Get in you guys, and buckle up, we don't need any elves dying in a car crash, there are already so few of us left." He said with a sad smile as he himself got into, demonstrating how to operate the buckle.

Before long they were off, the twins letting out yells of surprise as the car started moving, gripping their seats in panic.

"What is the dark magic, Glorfindel!?" Aragorn cried in alarm, watching with shock as the outside world zoomed past.

Glorfindel shook his head in amusement. "'Tis a dragon." He said with a grin on his face.

Legolas' eyes widened. "You have learned to tame dragons?" He asked in amazement.

Glorfindel broke out laughing. "Yes, I suppose we have." Glorfindel decided it would probably be easier to explain the cars to the group later.

The group watched the quickly passing scenery during the drive, completely entranced by the amazing 'Dragons' that allowed you to ride them without complaint.

Elladan turned his attention away from the window to Glorfindel, who sat beside him. "You mentioned our ada... is he...?" He asked quietly, trailing off near the end of his sentence.

Glorfindel shook his head sharply. "He is fine, don't worry! Although I don't know where he lives right now unfortunately... I haven't seen him in a while..." Glorfindel said, smiling fondly at the thought of his old lord.

Elladan nodded, a small smile on his face from the news that his Ada was alive and well.

The car rolled to a stop about 20 mins later, Glorfindel hopping out of the car, the others taking a little while longer, trying to figure out how to undo the seatbelts holding them to the seats. When finally out of the seatbelt, Aragorn stumbled out of the car, puking onto the pavement, earning disgusted looks from passing people and an amused grunt from Glorfindel.

"Come now, mi casa es su casa!" Glorfindel said beaming. He sighed at the four confused looks the statement earned him. "Just... come in." He said, unlocking the door to his house before stepping inside, the four following slowly behind him.

Aragorn jumped, startled as a soft mew came from beside his foot, a small kitten brushing itself against his dirty boots.

Glorfindel beamed at the small animal, leaning over and gently scooping it up and holding it against his chest, cooing.

Elrohir and Elladan watched, slightly perturbed by the sight. The great balrog slayer, cooing at a tiny, fluffy mammal.

"This is Freckles!" Glorfindel said with a smile as he held the kitten out to the twins, Elrohir taking it from his hand awkwardly.

"What purpose does this animal serve? Do you plan to eat it?" Legolas asked, his brow raised, his finger prodding the kitten in confusion.

Glorfindel let out a horror filled gasp, ripping Freckles from Elrohir's grasp and holding him protectively against his chest. "No Legolas! He is my pet, why would I eat him?!" Glorfindel asked in horror.

"A...pet?" Legolas asked, clearly confused.

"My companion? Kind of like a horse but...not?" Glorfindel tried to explain. When Legolas opened his mouth to ask another question, he sighed. "Just... I'll explain it later... for now, you all must be starving!" He said with a grin.

Aragorn nodded. "We have been through much today, a good meal would be appreciated, Mellon nin."

"Very well, sit, relax! I will bring you food in a bit!" He said, gesturing to the couches, as he left the room.

"Does he seem a little different to you?" Elladan whispered to Elrohir, who nodded in agreement.

Legolas sighed, resting his face in his palms as to try to escape the twins conversation of Glorfindel's new quirks.

The complete and utter true story of how we ended up in this desolate...I mean... pretty place...
