Aragorn started bouncing in his spot.

Everyone stared. Or, almost everyone; Frodo seemed to become quite interested in a buttercup on the ground.

Kazi merely grumbled a bit, hugging Haldir.

"Wancomwus?" Aragorn's words ran together.

Arwen looked at him sternly, like a teacher trying to have three-year-olds very hard literacy. "Please – speak – so – that – I – can – un – der – stand – you," she broke up the syllables.

Aragorn slowed his voice mockingly, "Wan – na – come – with – usssssssss?" and he dragged the last word on.

"If you buy a token of AFRO LOVE," she pointed to the afro-wig.

"And how much is that?"

Arwen look at the sky thoughtfully. "Hmmm-hmmm... for... five kisses on the lips!" she bargained with a beam.

"DEAL!" the reply came mechanically.

"Right, heading to- Where're we going?" Boromir asked.

"Lothlórien."

"My granny lives there!" Arwen cheered.

"She's not an ugly bat though, is she?" Sam sounded a little frightened.

Arwen ignored him.

Then they headed for Lothlórien. However, they saw that Frodo remained on the spot where he had been, studying the buttercup. Gimli went back and brought him over.

"... and if that happens again, I swear to Aule that that I will take that Ring and I'd even give it to Pippin. At least HE'S such a coward he stays with the group..."

At this even Pippin was frightened.

Meanwhile Legolas was complaining about his again-lost make-up box to Merry, because no one else would listen to a single word of what the Prince of Mirkwood was saying. Merry looked simply bored, occasionally saying 'yeah' and 'sure'.

Frodo cried out.

"WHAT?"

"I don't know which of these is the One Ring!" Frodo whined miserably. He held three identical golden rings.

Aragorn poked him, "Poke."

"Frodo, you know, I am starting to think I am smarter than you," Pippin said. "Just put each of them on and whichever makes you invisible..."

Frodo frowned.

"Why are we going to Lothlórien again?" Merry enquired.

"There's an amusement park there I've been dying to visit," Aragorn replied simply.

"Is it better than Disneyland?" Sam was excited.

"I'm sure it is..." The ranger looked questioningly at Arwen.

"FAR better," she informed them, her eyes gleaming. They were all content.

They had walked about an hour when Arwen demanded her kisses.

So she concealed herself and Aragorn in a bush for a few minutes while the others played a few games of 'Rock, Paper, Scissors'.

Kazi was getting left behind, since she was bringing Haldir as well, you was barely conscious.

Aragorn's and Arwen's snogging gave her time to catch up and bring out her outrage on the fellowship.

"Will you PLEASE slow down, or help me carry poor Haldir? We're both getting left behind!" she was very annoyed.

"No one told you bring that blondie along," Gimli snapped.

"Do you suppose I should've just let him DIE there?"

"YES."

Kazi glared. Gimli glared. They glared more. They glared even more. Sam was bored, so he started glaring too. Sam glared at a tree, however.

Merry had a brilliant idea and whispered to Sam. Sam's eyes turned rounder and sparkled.

He jumped up. "I WILL MAKE MY PO – TA – TOES MEAL!" he cried out, sounding like the happiest living creature.

"Valar help us," Frodo muttered, and meanwhile, Legolas climbed on a branch. He wasn't going anywhere NEAR Sam's cooking.

Merry looked to the bush. "Will they ever stop?" he sighed.

What will happen next? Will the new couple stop snogging? Will Sam bring their doom upon them – his PO-TA-TOES meal?

You can find out soon... Or not O.O

Anywho... TBC
