A/N: We DO NOT own Lord of the Rings, we're just taking them out of the packaging just to play with them. If you don't like the story please tell us what you don't like but we'll also ask that you send no flames either because all they'll be used for is marshmallows. Enjoy!!

"This party is going to be great." Sinn said quietly to her best friend, Shenaux.

Sinn wore a green back-less top that tied around the neck and back and a long black skirt that had slits on both sides that ran up to mid thigh. She had on a pair of black; four-inch heel knee high boots, bringing her height to five feet nine inches. Her long red hair tumbled about her shoulders in big loose curls and it reached the middle of her back. She had little make-up on; she wasn't one to cover her face in gunk.

"I'm just glad you're getting out again after Ransom's death." Shenaux said as she put her long golden brown hair up in curls. "You've been a shell of your former self for a year when it comes to socialising."

Shenaux had on the same top, but instead of green hers was blue and instead of a long skirt, she wore a pair of black fitted low rider bell-bottom jeans. She wore a pair of two inch-heeled sandals, brining her height to five feet nine inches also. Her sandals tied up the calf. She too didn't like to apply a lot of make-up on, but she did however, like to put on body sparkles.

Pain flitted across Sinn's face at the mention of Ransom. The tragic death of her love left Sinn an empty heart and soul.

Ransom was Shenaux' brother, they were twins and all three knew each other all of their lives. Sinn and Ransom were together for ten years before his death the year before.

Sinn and Ransom had just left the restaurant and they were walking by an alley when their attackers decided it was the best chance. They took Ransom's wallet and life. They were about to hurt Sinn as well, and that's when Shenaux and her boyfriend at the time found them. The two men that attacked Sinn and Ransom ran away leaving the two women to weep with grief.

"I'm sorry Sinn." Shenaux said with a wince. She forgot that Sinn has yet to get over her grief. Shenaux was hoping that since Sinn was going to the party with her tonight, she was finally getting on with her life.

Sinn sighed. "It's not your fault Shenaux. I just wish that sometimes, we were in a different world away from our past, away from the pain and all the reminders. I need to get away from everything Shenaux."

"Oh Sinn, you'll find love again." Shenaux said as she turned to look at her friend. "Do you actually think he wanted you to be like this? Moping around like an empty shell of your former self?"

Again, Sinn sighed. "It's only been a year Shenaux. What's a year to the twenty-three years we have known each other?"

"I understand Sinn, but at least you are finally getting out and socialising. That's the first step to getting over your grief. It will always be with you, but it doesn't have to rule your life. Doesn't it feel good to get all dolled up and go out?"

Sinn smiled faintly. "Yeah, it does." She glanced at the time. "Hey, are you soon finished? We'll be late if you take any longer." She joked.

Looking at her image in the mirror one last time, Shenaux stood up, grabbed her long black leather jacket and put it on. Then she threw Sinn's long brown leather jacket to her. "Alright, let's go."

Sinn put her coat on and they headed towards the apartment door when Sinn suddenly stopped dead in her tracks, making Shenaux look back at her in confusion.

"What's wrong?" Shenaux asked her with a worried look marring her features. "Is anything the matter Sinn?"

"Do you hear that?" She asked in a whisper.

"Hear what?" Shenaux asked, even more confused. "I don't hear an—" Her eyes opened wide when she finally heard the cheerful chirping of birds, the rustling of leaves, and the rushing water in a fountain. "Why am I hearing forest sounds? We're in our apartment, we shouldn't be hearing this." She stated the obvious as she began to become afraid.

Sinn looked at her friend, her eyes wide with fear, confusion, and wonderment. "I smell flowers and forests, almost as if I am in a forest." She closed her eyes as she inhaled the scent.

Shenaux followed suit. "Yeah, same here. It's so fresh." She whispered this time as she inhaled the sweet scent.

A warm breeze caressed the two women's faces, bringing the scent to them more heavily, but it also brought the scent of horses. The sun warmed their faces. Frowning, both women opened their eyes, which soon became wide in amazement. They were now standing in a garden full of sunshine, trees, flowers and bushes.

"Shenaux!" Sinn gasped urgently as she grabbed hold of her friend's arm.

"What just happened?" Her tone sounded frightened.

They looked around the garden they stood in. There were magnificent buildings nearby and it everywhere they looked, there were trees. A throat cleared from behind them and the two spun in surprise. Their jaws dropped open in shock.

Sitting in a circle around a stone table were a group of men, and by the looks of things, they seemed to be an assortment of different looking people. Some looked the same and others looked totally different. And the men seemed to be staring at them in shock.

"Uh, Sinn, why does this look familiar to me?" Shenaux asked glancing at each man.

"If I didn't know any better I'd say that this was the Council of Lord Elrond." Sinn told her friend as she nervously gripped Shenaux' arm. Shenaux returned the gesture.

"How did you know that Lady?" a dark haired man dressed in robes asked her. "This Council was secret."

"What?" Shenaux asked him, almost choking. "Where are we?"

"You are currently standing in my garden in Rivendell. I am Elrond, Lord of the Elves of Rivendell. How did you come here?"

Sinn stared at him in shock and disbelief and Shenaux spoke her thoughts out loud for all to hear. "No way." She whispered before the two women promptly fainted.
