DISCLAIMER: This is a story that is written by numerous authors on the Mellon Chronicles list. It was written as a Christmas present for our mommies, Cassia and Siobhan. DO NOT FLAME! I have warned you what this is, so if you don't want to read it, don't.
Ch. 8
By Trin and Kar
Trin peered around the room, wiggling slightly. She was still, unfortunately, wrapped in tape. And there, a few feet in front of her, was a banana. Someone had knocked it from a counter in their haste to finish getting the party ready.
Trin wiggled, trying to get loose. Valar the tape was annoying! Sighing in exasperation (as much as possible around the gag), she tried calling for help.
"Mmmffffmmmmoooo!"
She paused. 'Moo?!' Oh gods she hoped nobody heard that...
"Moo?" A familiar voice said.
Trin whacked her head on the floor.
"Well, well, well..." Legolas' feet appeared in Trin's line of vision. "Look what the warg dragged in..."
"Mmmffoooooo!" Trin glared at his feet. Somehow, she thought the effect was lost on him.
She was suddenly airborne, yanked upwards and hung on a nearby meat hook. Legolas reached down, picking up the banana. He eyed it, then looked at Trin.
"I believe there is a phrase you are immensely fond of..." Legolas said.
Trin raised an eyebrow, (one that wasn't covered in tape), waiting for the reply.
Legolas leaned in and whispered in her ear with a menacing voice. "Payback's a bitch."
*****
A few rooms away, everyone was following the orders given by Elrond and Saber. The party was coming together quite well. (As long as they could keep Kaldur away from the rum, that is.)
Thil even dropped in to help. While several servants were off in the court yard distracting Cassia and Sio, a job of which they absolutely feared, everyone else scrambled to get the food, drink, and decorations done.
From a dark, foreboding corner, a phone rang. (How a phone came to be in Imladris is a question we will ponder for many a day. But then again, someone brought an eighteen wheeler and inflatable pool full of jello. Stranger things have been known to happen.)
Alex, Rhonda, Arquen, and Saber scrambled to answer it, clawing at each other's faces like rabid cats. Glorfindel stood a few feet away with a bow drawn, wondering which he should shoot; the evil device of Mordor, or the women?
Rhonda ended up the victorious winner, answering the phone with a breathless "Yeah?"
Her face was pinched when she hung up. "The strippers can't make it." A long drawn out sigh. "I'll just have to make do then."
Glorfindel did NOT like the look in Rhonda's eyes as she advanced on him.
*****
-Meanwhile-
Elladan strode into the room, carrying a large basket of fruits. (Void of bananas, for safety's sake.) His foot slipped as it landed on a wet spot on the floor. Brows raised, he followed the trail of what appeared to be water. The trail ended at Kar and Cor, who were currently looking up Kaldur's loose pants as he stood on a ladder, stringing up lights.
Elladan shifted the basket, waving a hand in front of their faces. No reaction. He sighed.
"Kaldur!"
Kaldur jumped, glaring down at Elladan. "Aye?"
"Would you please, for the love of Elbereth, GET DOWN FROM THERE?!"
A puzzled expression fluttered across the bandit's face, before he laid eyes on the two drooling, comatose women.
"Ah. Right then." He nodded and jumped from the ladder, landing lightly beside Elladan.
Elladan sighed again. It was going to be a long night.
*****
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN WE HAVE TO BE STRIP SEARCHED?!" Cassia's voice rang across the courtyard, making the two servants in front of her wince.
Eldian glared at Landorn, who had meekly ordered the strip search.
Sio's eyes were like ice. "No." The word was a knife, cutting through the air with lethal accuracy.
"But..but..but.." Eldian stuttered. They were ordered to stall Cassia and Sio until someone gave a signal the party was ready.
"I..have..a...PENCIL!" Cassia threatened. The two servants gulped. They did NOT want to be on the receiving end of Cassia, nor Sio's, torture. It wasn't worth it.
So, doing the only thing that two, brave, strong, loyal servants of Elrond could do in a situation like this...
...Both turned and fled.
Cassia grinned to Sio. "Now, lets see what they're up to, eh?" They walked into the main room, laughing to themselves.
*****
Their amusement was cut short when they set foot into the room. Most of what they were seeing could be described as hilarious, but right now they were downright confused.
Everyone looked up as Cassia and Sio walked in, surprise evident in all their faces.
"Uhm. Cassia! Sio! SURPRISE!" Elrond yelled, a false smile appearing on his features. "I'm going to kill those two servants as soon as I lay eyes on them..." He muttered around the smile.
Cassia looked around the room. Glorfindel was trussed and tied, clad in a very revealing bunny outfit, of which included nothing but a pink tutu, whiskery nose, floppy ears, and a
cotton tail. Rhonda held the rope attached to his waist, cackling evilly every so often.
**********Ten minutes before C&S arrival************
Kar was about to go after Kaldur when she realized that she hadn't seen Trin in a while. Where could she be, its not like she could have crawled that far away as taped as she was???
Kar, venturing a guess, headed for the kitchen, and saw her friend, in a dire position.
Legolas had unceremoniously hung Trin on a meat hook, and was advancing on her, with that dangerous look in his eyes usually reserved for the orcs, or Estel and the twins when they
played pranks on him.
Kar mentally skimmed over her "How to make a pissed elven prince go away 101" class and found the perfect solution.
"LEGOLAS, WATCH OUT, FAN GIRLS ARE COMING!"
Legolas forgot all about the hung girl and fled for his life, without waiting to see if it was true or not. The fact that the voice was coming from Kar completely went over his head and the cackle that she let out didn't reach his ears, despite his superior elven hearing. Trin let out a sigh of relief when Kar removed the tape she had over her mouth, only to yelp in pain when the rest of it was cut down and she met the ground, hard and fast.
Kar, not wanting to be on the receiving end of glares and curse words, immediately said,
"Trin, if you hurry to the main room, I *think* there is still one banana left."
There was nothing left to say, the word 'banana' and 'main room' were sufficient to send Trin in a mad dash for the main room, followed by Kar a little slower.
*****
When Kar set foot into the Main room, she noticed that Cor was hovering a little too close to *her* bandit, so she swiftly made her way to them.
Soon enough, Cor was in a far corner of the room, duct taped from head to toes, while Kar was comfortably sitting next to Kaldur.
*****
It was this time that Cassia and Sio had entered.
"Cassia, Sio, please. Have some punch!" Elrond ladled up two cups full of the strange, glowing blue punch.
Cassia blinked at it, then shrugged to herself, downing it in one gulp. Sio followed suit. Both refilled their cups three more times before they headed off towards the designated dance floor.
Coon, who had quickly left Aragorn's chambers after the sight of Elrohir in a thong, stepped over to Cassia, and paused. She sniffed the air, then looked at Sio, who was swaying on her feet.
"YOU TWO ARE DRUNK!"
Cassia hiccupped as Sio flopped bonelessly onto the floor. "We only *hiccup* had so-*hiccup* me punch. *hiccup*"
Coon glared around the room. "WHO SPIKED IT?!" She gave a pointed look to Kaldur, who currently had his arms full of a too-innocent looking Karine.
Everyone glared.
"What?" Kar said, adjusting her halo. Elrond's eye twitched slightly, taking in the wobbling form of Cassia, and Sio who was on the floor.
Kar looked at Kaldur, then at the angry mob. "I suggest we go elsewhere...like...NOW!"
"I have to agree." Kaldur said, and was swept up with Kar as the two rushed off down the hall.
