Please REVIEW for you own SAFETY!..er just joking.
Chapter 1-
Araogrn stood at the gates of Gondor waiting the arrival of Legolas and
Gimli. Arwen stood next to him, smiling to herself at the excitement of
her husband. She, too would be gald to see Legolas and Gimli but not as
much as Aragorn.
The gates opened and the two friends appeared. Legolas riding Arod and
Gimli sitting in his usual place, behind him. After bringing the horse
to a halt, Legolas got down and enveloped Aragorn into a swift hug.
"It has been to long," Aragorn said in greeting.
"I agree," Legolas said pleasantly.
Gimli followed Legolas' action.
"We would have been here sooner," Gimli said gruffly," but this darn
elf had to stop and look at every tree. We had to stop for a tree!"
"Just because you can't hear them doesn't mean anything. Although you
don't want to know what they say about you!" Legolas shot back.
"Oh yeah, well I'm surprised no one has thought you crazy, talking to
trees everywhere!"
"Well I am surprised no one has mistaken you for a pig, the way you
smell!"
I for one-.."
"Alright you two," Aragorn said laughing," Enough."
Legolas smiled and then did something that shocked them all. He stuck
out his tongue like a little elfling would at Gimli and laughed. Gimli
shook his head as Legolas started walking up to the stables and
followed him. Aragorn couldn't hear what Gimli said but Legolas had
laughed so hard he was leaning on Arod for support.
Arwen came up to Aragorn and put an arm around his waist. Aragorn
smiled.
"They will never grow up, will they?" he asked.
"I hope not," Arwen said and Aragorn laughed.
It was truely great to have humour back in these stone halls.
=-=-=-=-=-=-====-=-=--===
Araogrn showed Gimli to his room then Legolas. instead of leaving
Legolas he followed his elven friend inside. Legolas dropped his saddle
bag and turned toward Aragorn.
"It is truely great to see you again Estel!"
"I agree."
Legolas laguhed.
"It is good to see yourself again?"
Araogrn looked puzzled and then smiled as he got what Legolas had said.
Shaking his head, Araogrn sat down on a chair while Legolas plopped
very un-elf like on the bed. They sat in comfortable silence for a few
minutes.
"Not to sound like I don't enjoy your presence, but why are you two
here?"
"As you know," Legolas began," I made a promise to Gimli to see all his
favorite caves if he went with me for awhile. Also, he said and these
are his exact words, there is a spectacular cave near Gondor, so grand
that I will never have seen anything like it."
"Ah, so you are here to visit caves."
"Yes, a deal is a deal. However unfourntunate they may be."
"Oh yes unfourntunate indeed."
Legolas glared.
"Are you making fun?"
"Me? Never!"
"Right, like I could ever believe that!"
Araogrn smiled.
"Why wouldn't you?"
Legolas rolled his eyes. "Is it that unobvious, you grew up with
Valar's worst trouble makers, Elrohir and Elledan(sp? i couldn't
remember how to spell it) and you wonder why!"
"Alright, fine. you're right."
"Thank you!"
A bell rang throughout the halls announcing dinner. Legolas and Aragorn
got up and left for the dinning hall. Once they were there they met up
with Gimli and Arwen and went to sit down at the long table.
They started the feast, in which Faramir and Eowyn were present at.
Also many other lords were there, talking and arguing about lands. As
soon as everyone had finished, most of the lords had gone to retire for
the night leaving only Aragorn, Gimli, Legolas and Faramir. Arwen and
Eowyn had, too gone to bed.
A couple servants brought in glasses of wine which the men accepted.
Faramir stood up his galss raised in the air.
"To Gondor, our friends and peace," he said cheerfully.
"Hear, hear." Aragorn said taking a swallow.
Gimli took a gulp and Legolas merely sipped it. Gimli who noticed this
said," What, ale not good enough for you elf?"
Legolas smiled.
"After all this time I thought you'd know by now elves do not drink
this vile substance."
Gimli frowned and replied,"You've never been drunk, have you?"
"No."
"Never?"
"Never, my friend."
Gimli sat in shock as Faramir and Aragorn chuckled at them. Shaking his
head Gimli stood up.
"Then Master Elf," he said," I challange you."
"Challange me?"
"Yes, to a drinking game. Whoever cannot stand and falls first loses."
Legolas shook his head as he put down his cup. Gimli rolled his eyes.
"Come on elf what do you have to lose?"
"How about my dignity."
Aragorn laughed and said to the dwarf," He's got a point Gimli."
But Gimli wouldn't give up.
"I'll do whatever you want if you take my challange."
"Whatever I want?"
"Whatever you want!"
Legolas looked at the cup.
"Fine Gimli," Legolas said clearly," I'll take your challange."
Aragorn stared at his friend in shock as Faramir smiled.
"This'll be interesting," Faramir whispered to Aragorn.
Aragorn only nodded.
As Legolas picked up his cup and Gimli his they both gulped it down.
Thus, the competition had started.
=-=-=-=--=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-===-
"Twenty-three!" Gimli said in slurred voice.
They had been drinking for over an hour, to Faramir's amusement.
Aragorn on the other hand was worried. He knew elves didn't drink ale
because it didn't do well in their bodies. Legolas drunk another down,
and swayed but stayed on his feet.
"Twenty-three," he slurred quietly. Legolas smiled and turned to look
at the other two men in the room. He blinked as the room whirled around
him.
"Feelin' dizzy, elf?" came Gimli's voice.
Legolas didn't answer and the room finally put itself straight. Gimli
was standing there drinking another one.
"Twenty-four, its goin' take more'n that to get me drunk."
Legolas closed his eyes and reopened them. He walked a little ways
toward the couch but before he got there he tripped on the rug. He
slammed down to the ground and lay there.
"You lose," Gimli said as Aragorn quickly got up. Araogrn kneeled by
Legolas.
"Are you alright my friend?"
Legolas lifted a hand before passing out. Aragorn closed his eyes to
back down his fury at this stupid game and picked up the elf. Faramir
had gotten up and was holding one of the dwarf's arm. Aragorn nodded
his thanks and led Legolas to his room.
Once they were in Aragorn laid Legolas on the bed and covered the
drunken elf up. Taking one last look at his friend Araogrn left for his
own chambers. He quickly undressed and got into bed beside Arwen. As
soon as his head hit the pillow he was asleep.
There is your first chapter and a cookie to each of those who reviews.
Thank you...thank you.
