Don't own anything but the plot and my laptop
Chapter 9: Going Home and admitting ones love to a fictional character to their real-life face
As the night continued the girls made arrangements to get them back and in Middle Earth. They discussed plans on how to get there when Nix finally said "If we got them here by watching the movies why don't we play the FOTR with the TV screen off?"
"What and just have them up at this hour? No that would freak them out." Xana argued back
"But they do sleep in what they came here in? Don't they?" said Miki, it was known that if she could avoid boys and the troubles that went with them, her life would be easier.
"I say we just play the thing and hope for the best anyway Xana, don't those filling cabinets have locks on them? We could force them out of the cabinets." Said Crystal mischievously
"Fine let's do it" Xana finally gave in
As the girls woke up the next morning, Crystal with a slight hangover, they played the movie with a dark TV screen the fellowship didn't know that they were planning something, not even the bags behind the couch gave anything away.
It was close to lunch time, Haldir and Legolas were conversing in Sindar, Aragorn was reading Les Misérables and Frodo was reading The Lightning thief, Merry was reading the Last Sacrifice Sam had found the last cook book in the house, Pippin and Gimli had finished and swapped books and Boromir was in New Moon, when the TV pulled them into it.
As the girls came around, they noticed that their surroundings were vastly different from Xana's lounge room; they were on the floor of a forest. The fellowship were already up and walking around astounded at what had happened.
"Hey Nix," Xana croaked as she tried to crawl over to her friend's body "I think we made it."
"Ouch, my head hurts." Complained Nix as Xana shook her awake
"SICKNESS!" screamed Miki who startled Boromir had just helped her to her feet "Sorry Boromir."
"WHAT NOOOOOOOOO!" yelled Courtney as she looked up to see Xana's face look down at her feet
"I'M A HOBBIT!"Crystal yelled dancing around, dragging Frodo with her.
"OMG, Xana and Nix I suggest that you look at your ears." Said Courtney as Merry comforted her about her size; saying that she was only a little shorter than him and then saying that he is very tall for a hobbit.
"WTF! Nix your ears..." Xana started then reached up to feel her own.
"OMFG, Nix I think I'm an elf" she said as Legolas pulled her to her feet as Haldir did the same for Nix. They both reached the respective elf's jaw line, for both of them, some of the shortest in the year group had become very tall.
"OMG, Haldir I'm almost as tall as you." Said Nix as she walked over to see for herself
"Legolas, how, what. Oh I give up. WHAT I'm in a dress- who's smart idea was it?" she said looking down to find herself in a long, white dress then she saw that Nix and Mikeala were wearing pretty much the same thing. Crystal and Courtney had gotten off lightly and were wearing brown pants and a coloured top with a brown jacket to match. The noticeable thing about them was they were short, their hair had grown and their feet had gotten bigger and that they weren't wearing any shoes or footwear.
That, was odd. Thought Legolas as he helped Xana to her feet, who then proceeded to put her bag back on and discover that she was indeed an elf. After the initial shock passed Haldir instructed them to pick up their packs and continue to Lothlorien to meet Queen Galadriel and Lord Celebron.
God he's such a bossy boots thought Crystal as she walked Frodo beside her to help her.
And this is branch that I've snapped today number 31 still adjusting to my new height. Why do they have to stick out? Wondered Nix as she tried to dodge yet another branch which amused the rest of the fellowship.
When he finally called that this was where they would be stopping for the night, Nix walked over and said "Can you and I go for a walk? I want to ask you stuff." As they walked Haldir couldn't stand the silence any longer sitting down he asked "Nix, I have something to confess to you."
"What is it Haldir?" Nix asked confused at what was happening "I need an answer... how do you feel about me?" he asked cautiously this was unknown territory to him.
"Haldir, look at me. This is my answer." She said as she leaned closer, eventually they locked eyes, Nix took one look at him then kissed him on the lips, it wasn't long but it seemed to last an entire age. When they finally pulled apart she asked "Is that a good answer?"
"The best I could hope for Nix." As he embraced her.
As they walked back, Xana was continuing to learn how to use a bow. She was fairly good at it but still needed refining to gain maximum range and skill level. She was aiming at a tree that was 250 yards away, a close target, one she could hit. Nix and Haldir walked out of the trees hand in hand as she released her arrow, flying true to her aim and scared them out of their daydreaming. One does not simply walk away and not tell me where they are going she thought.
"Jeeze Xana, don't kill us will you." Yelled Nix from across the clearing as Haldir raced off to join his march.
"What happened... you left single and came back with a boyfriend"
"Yep, I kissed an elf and I liked it!" she sang
"Haldir and Nix, sitting in a tree..."Xana started to sing but was thrown a very serious glare that read-I WILL tell Legolas that you like him.
"Fine, let's go get something to eat. I like this new elven senses-I can see in the dark." Xana started as they walked to the fire together.
