Dusky: Chill out will you?

LA: she can't help it... She just wants to get this over with...

Dusky: I can't believe that I STILL have to do this... But LA and Ashy only owns me and the other OCS including The Ancient Ones.

Chapter 1 - One more drinkin song

I watched as Legolas and the others left for Isenguard. Dove- an Acrote, with silver-white hair and blue eyes. Even if she was only a few years older than shadow-and Luna traveled with us. Ryan was flying to Isenguard with Jura and scouting for them. Éowyn approached me,"Dusky. Are you prepared to lead us back to Edoras?"

"yes," I sighed and climbed up onto EverLost, I can't believe they gave me escorting duty.

EverLost whinnied in laughter I feel as it was for your own safety. Ryan does know of what the Lady of Light told you. Perhaps he is trying to avoid it.

I shook my head,"I just don't understand men."

Éowyn shot me a glance and I laughed,"Sorry I was talking with EverLost. I'm just a little miffed that I didn't get to go to Isenguard."

Éowyn laughed,"I understand. It's that Mirkwood elf isn't it? I see the way you too look at each other."

I blushed,"It might be a little. I don't really know. He's saved my life when I first came here. So, I'm worried that I might just like him because of that."

Éoywn shook her head and smiled a knowing smile,"I believe that what I see Lady Dusky, is no mere fancy because he saved you."

I smiled,"That makes me feel better Éoywn thank you."

000ooo000ooo000

"Tonight," Theodin called to all of those who had returned from Isenguard. Surprisingly there had been no battle, Gríma had killed Suraman, so we didn't really have a plan," we remember those who gave their blood to defend this country," Theodin held up a goblet,"Hail the victorious dead!"

I held up my own goblet and shouted,"Hail," with Ryan, who has returned with Jura just a few hours before the others. I took a swig of wine and it went down my throat easily. It was very hard to believe that just a few days ago I was trying to stop a Villan from blowing this dimensions to pieces. What was weirder is that no one seemed to notice that I had been gone for at least week. A WEEK! The silver box-like transporter was still heavy in my pocket.

Alpha stepped forward,"How are you Dusky? Ryan? Battle has not harden you yet I hope."

I shook my head,"While these battles are defiantly gruesome, if this is my destiny. I won't fight it. They trouble me none, but I truly wish not to draw my sword and arrows on a man. I pray that it may might change soon."

Ryan nodded and chugged his wine,"It was a bit hard at first," his eyes drifted over to Halley- who was laughing and talking with Éoywn," But I'm coping."

I rolled my eyes an hip-bumped him,"Go talk to her Ryan. Let her know how you feel before I do it for you,"Ryan rolled his eyes but he still walked towards Halley.

Alpha chuckled,"Dusky, you remind me much of my late wife. She was a spitfire much like you."

I chuckled,"I think it's the red hair. I heard that that's what it is anyway," I glanced around the room. Boy everyone looked so happy. Luna was dancing with Pine and Boulder had been talking with Shadow for about an hour. Many other people were pairing up too. The elves, Ancient Ones and humans were all meshing together. It was really... Beautiful to say the least.

Alpha's eyes glanced at Legolas- who was talking with Éomer and Gimli- they were tying to get him to do some drinking game,"I hear that a certain Elfling prince has stolen the Child of Magic's heart. I am happy for you Dusky."

I blushed an looked away,"I-It's complicated. He won't want me to fight side-by-side with him. I want to stand beside my... Uh... Partner in a fight. NOT behind them. He's still cross at me and I'm still cross at him."

Alpha patted my shoulder,"You and I both know you don't believe it."

I sighed and put down my goblet,"Alpha, I strongly dislike you right about now," I slowly made my way over to Legolas and the others catching their conversation," No pauses, no spills."

"And no regurgitation," chuckled as he lifted a glass of beer to his mouth. Crap. How many had he had already?

"So… it's a drinking game," Legolas asked. I've never seen him so unsure about something..

Choruses of Ayes came from those around the room. I chuckled and picked up some food and sat down to watch...

"But what is the point of it," Legolas questioned.

"Last one standing wins heh heh heh," Gimli was really drunk now. I had a hard time not laughing. He completely chugged his cup of beer- in one go! I watched silently like a she-wolf or lioness would watch her prey. Gimli was just downing the liquor, while Legolas on the other hand seemed to take a more conservative, steady pace.

"Heh heh heh heh," Gimli laughed dileriously- if only I had a camera,"Here, here," that tankard had no chance at all,"Raaar it's the dwarves that go swimming with little, hairy women haha *insert really nasty Blech*," He would have been cut off at any bar by now.

Luna sat next to me,"You waiting for the first one to fall."

I nodded, it had to have been at least an hour,"You know it's not that bad. It's entertaining."

"I feel something. A slight tingle in my fingers. I think it's affecting me."

I couldn't hold in the giggles, neither could Luna,"Like that! Oh my gosh! Is that real concern?"

"Heh heh heh," Gimli laughed- I was amazed that Gimli was still even thinking,"what did I say? He can't hold his liquor."

Luna's eyes barrowed,"Your dwarf friend is about to fall." Sure enough not one minute later Gimli's eyes cross and he sat quietly for a moment. Then he fell over backwards.

Legolas raised his eyebrows and looked over at Eomer,"Game over."

I turned my head when I heard Marry and Pippin singing,"Oh, you can search far and wide, You can drink the whole town dry," they started to dance! It was adorable,"But you'll never find a beer so brown, But you'll never find a beer so brown, As the one we drink in our hometown, As the one we drink in our hometown. You can drink your fancy ales, You can drink them by the flagon. But the only brew for the brave and true-"

Pippin hesitated and Merry chimed him,"Pippin! "

They countinued the song,"Comes from the Green Dragon!"

I applauded with the others when Éomer's voice called above the crowd,"Very good young Hobbits. But where is the Lady Dusky? I heard she could sing like a chorus of morning birds!"

Ryan walked up to me,"Come on Dusky. Sing em a song! I'll play the guitar for ya!"

I sent a glare at him but, I couldn't say no. Everyone was yelling at me to sing. Dang it. Ryan helped me up onto a table,"I don't think very many of you will know this one. But here goes-

"/Today I wanted to write a tune /Started strummin' this little grove/I could've wrote about love or money /Something sad or something funny/But hey, hey, hey whats so wrong /With one more drinkin' song/Hold up your cups and sing along/To one more drinkin' song/"

Everyone cheered and I continued, Ryan played his guitar- wherever he got it- well.

"/And if by chance this brings you cheer/Maybe someday you'll bring me a beer/Just because it's my favorite drink/* preferably someday soon on a nice sandy beach*/"

"/Hey, hey, hey whats so wrong/With one more drinkin' song/Hold up your cups and sing along/To one more drinkin' song/So here's to cheap whiskey and fine wine/ Buyin' shots and pick up lines/And here's to bartenders tryin' to get paid /When all of us are tryin' to get/Hey, hey, hey whats so wrong /With one more drinkin' song/Hold up your cups and sing along/To one more drinkin' song."

"/Uh, now you wanna sing along/" Ryan interjected for me by yelling it. By then the others caught on and started singing.

"/Hey, hey, hey whats so wrong /With one more drinkin' song/Hold up your cups and sing along/To one more drinkin' song-/"

Everyone cheered and hooted. I curtsied and Ryan helped me off stage. I simply took a goblet of wine that was held out to me and thanked anyone who have me a complement.

Legolas stood awkwardly off in a type of hallway. I smiled and set the goblet down before I walked over to him,"Do you feel alright? That was a lot of beer you had."

Legolas smiled,"I shall prefer a walk with you Dusky. We have things I would like to talk with you about."

So we walked.

yay! Next chapter is what happens on the walk! :D Also I made a The Girls reference!
