Author's Note:

It seems as if I'm beginning every author's note with an apology as to the long time it took me to post. Sorry about that.

Anyway thanks to everyone who read and especially to everyone who left reviews. Samdum the Bouncing Hobbit (I love your stories! thanks for recommending me!), HannahCimsGwendolyn (glad you liked it! I loved your stories!), Just Me (thanks!), all-evil-grins (I'm really glad you're enjoying it!), Rana Ninque (thanks for reading and reviewing!), SpooksApprentice (I'm still not sure what I'll do with the Balrog yet.), and IloveOrlando08 (Don't worry I'm not giving up, I'm just slow!).

Oh and the Mary-Sue is still with them even though I don't mention her in this chapter. I'm just trying to come up with a funny ending for her. If anyone has any ideas they would be greatly appreciated.

Chapter #10:

Gimli hurled a chair at Legolas. Unfortunately the chair hit poor Glorfindel, knocking him to the ground. With the elf out of the way Gimli tackled Legolas and the two of them toppled to the floor.

It took several long minutes for Glorfindel to get the situation under control. When the dust had settled poor Gimli found himself tied to a chair with Glorfindel giving him a long lecture on manners.

Apparently it was in poor manners to try to rip your good friend apart.

Slowly the other seven members of the Fellowship came out from behind their cover and took their seats again. Legolas, with a brand new black eye, continued reading his story as dignified as he could.

While Gimli blubbered uncontrollably over the tomb of the dead dwarf-

"You pointy-eared self righteous-" Gimli burst out.

"Now Gimli don't make me gag you," warned Glorfindel. The irate dwarf grumbled as Legolas spent fifteen whole minutes detailing exactly how "pathetically" Gimli had acted. By the time he had finished Glorfindel had threatened to gag everyone.

And then Pippin began walking over towards a skeleton.

"Oh no," Pippin grumbled, "here we go again."

He reached out his hand-

"It was just a mistake!"

-and Legolas could tell that something bad would happen.

"A mistake that anyone could make," Pippin was saying looking sad.

Then the immature hobbit shoved the skeleton down the well.

"What!" Pippin all but screeched, "That's not what happened at all!"

Pippin laughed as it clanked loudly down the well alerting the enemy to their presence.

"I didn't do that," Pippin argued, "I accidentally knocked it down."

Then, before anyone could stop him, Pippin threw a bucket down after the skeleton.

"Okay the bucket wasn't my fault," Pippin was saying, "the skeleton knocked it off."

"Yeah sure," Merry said with a grin.

"I'm serious!"

"We know Pippin," Sam said consolingly.

"Why do people always pick on me?" Pippin asked in a sad voice.

"Well you do have to admit," Frodo said hesitantly, "you do seem to find yourself in those predicaments more then most people." Everyone else nodded thoughtfully murmuring agreement.

"You're not helping," Pippin said dryly.

Gandalf preceded to yell at Pippin in a very cruel way. He told him it would have been better if the hobbit had thrown himself down the well instead.

"Well," Pippin said to the wizard, "you kind of did."

"I'm sorry," Gandalf apologized, "I was caught up in the heat of the moment."

"I understand."

Soon they could all hear the sounds of the orc army approaching. Legolas of course knew that it was orcs just by hearing the way that they walked and the noises they made.

"Actually I believe it was Mr. Frodo's sword that let of know it was orcs." Legolas, however, ignored the accurate hobbit.

Boromir walked right out to see the army only to almost get himself shot by several arrows.

"They have a cave troll," he told them as if he was reporting something interesting. But he was late since Legolas already knew.

"How?" Boromir asked through gritted teeth, (that of course weren't really there), "How did you know it was a cave troll?"

"Oh you know," Legolas said vaguely, "I just sort of…" The rest of the elf's sentence was incomprehensible. Before anyone could ask him what he had said he continued on with the story.

Legolas went to show Aragorn and Boromir how to barricade the doors. But they still couldn't do it right. The foul orcs managed to get right through. They all would have been killed if it wasn't for Legolas and his bow and arrows.

"I'm sure he defeated the whole army with one arrow," Aragorn said sarcastically.

He was able to defeat over half of the army before they even got through the doors.

"It's impossible for even an elf to shoot that quickly," Glorfindel observed looking at Legolas with suspicion.

"See!" Gandalf cried to the elf, "See! We told you Legolas wasn't being truthful."

"Well he's at least embellishing the truth in this case," he answered.

But the really unlucky orcs were the ones who made it through the doors. Those ones had to face the wrath of Legolas up close.

There was a roar, this time of laughter, as everyone in the room except for Legolas burst out in uncontrollable laughter.

The rest of the Fellowship did absolutely nothing. All they could do was watch Legolas in awe.

The laughter quickly stopped as the whole Fellowship glared at Legolas.

Taking advantage of their distraction the cave troll speared Frodo. As the poor hobbit sunk to the ground Legolas felt a pierce of guilt.

"You mean Legolas is going to admit to messing up?" Sam asked in an awed voice.

"Maybe there's hope for him yet," Boromir muttered.

Of course the guilt was unfounded. But still Legolas felt he should have known that the other members of the Fellowship would be unable to protect the pitiable ring bearer.

"Preposterous!"

"It's ridicules!"

"I am not pitiable!"

"I would never let anything happen to Mr. Frodo!"

"An unbelievable accusation!"

"I can't keep my eyes on him and fight off an orc army."

"I would not cheat on Arwen!"

"That's not what we're talking about Aragorn," Boromir whispered to the other man.

"Sorry," Aragorn said, "gut reaction."

Then Legolas single handedly killed the Cave Troll.

"We helped," Pippin argued.

"Yeah," Merry said, "we risked our very lives!"

Legolas was saddened by the fact that no one made a move to help him fight the army or the cave troll.

"You know I'm having trouble remembering if Legolas was actually in this battle," Gimli commented.

"I would guess that," Boromir answered, "since he doesn't have a clue about what actually happened." The angry ghost stressed the last three words until he was almost yelling.
