Chapter #13:
"Legolas," Frodo asked, "what are you going to do?"
"I'm just telling the story how it was," he answered in an innocent voice still writing furiously.
"Nothing good can possibly come out of this," Boromir commented.
When Galadriel and Celeborn descended the stairs poor Legolas was in for a shock-
"Poor Legolas!" Gimli burst out, "what about poor us? We're the ones listening to this nonsense!"
- Galadriel and Celeborn were drunk!
The yelling from the room could be heard throughout the whole of Rivendell. Any elf there who had not yet heard of the event occurring in the library was now realizing what evil had entered Rivendell.
In fact Elrond, Arwen, Gandalf, and Glorfindel, (who had started a Survivor's Club), all shuddered in unison, commenting on how they despaired for those still trapped in the "library of horror".
"How could you?"
"Do you have no respect?"
"What's wrong with you?"
"Calm down everyone," Galadriel said serenely, "nothing young Legolas can say will upset us and I suggest you all follow our example."
"Wow Lady Galadriel," Pippin said in an admiring voice, "you are probably the toughest, most strongest person I have ever met. Even stronger then Frodo!"
"Pippin! That's a horrible thing to say about Mr. Frodo!"
"I destroyed the One Ring!" Frodo cried, "I saved the world! Is it too much to ask for a little respect? A little thanks?"
"However you couldn't take this kind of verbal abuse without getting upset," Gimli pointed out.
The leaders of Lothlorien spent hours talking to the Fellowship and yet they didn't make any sense.
"I thought our welcome to Lothlorien was one of the best experiences of our entire journey," Aragorn commented.
"Is that the truth or are you just saying that because of the Lady's relation to your wife?" Boromir whispered.
"Don't answer the question," Celeborn suggested, also whispering,.
Then Galadriel pulled out a "magic mirror" and pretended there were images in it.
"But it was!" Frodo protested, "I saw images in it!" Galadriel said nothing but her eyes had become icy and cold.
Frodo, being very very very gullible, believed her.
"I'm not that gullible!"
"Don't you remember the time Pip and I convinced you that there was a monster under your bed?" Merry asked with a chuckle, "We convinced you to buy that monster repellant potion that was actually tomato juice?"
"And told you that loud singing would paralyze it?" Pippin added suppressing wild laughter. The two hobbits collapsed in laughter as Frodo sulked avoiding everyone else's eyes.
"It's not that funny," he hissed at Sam who was having trouble keeping himself from laughing out loud. He was shaking and turning red from the effort.
Boromir complained the whole time.
"I did not," the ghost-man complained.
"Actually…" Aragorn said slowly.
"Do you want to be haunted forever?"
"I've never heard you complain before," the man finished quickly.
Gimli, who liked weird, developed a huge crush on Lady Galadriel.
Celeborn burst into laughing while Gimli turned a bright red.
"That's ridicules," the elf lord managed.
Then he noticed that Gimli was not laughing.
"Let's discuss this later," Galadriel said stiffly.
"But-"
"Later."
All the elves in Lothlorien were very depressed when-
"When they heard this story!"
"When they heard Legolas was coming for a visit!"
"When they heard Legolas sing!"
- when it came time for Legolas to leave.
Everyone in the room except for Legolas laughed. The elf glowered and yelled but it wasn't until he began reading again that their laughter subsided.
Galadriel gifted Legolas with nine gifts which he generously distributed to the less important members of the Fellowship.
"Yeah sure," Merry scoffed, "Galadriel gave Legolas a nice shiny dagger and he gave it to me."
And then with trumpet fanfare Legolas, and his group, left Lothlorien.
"They were playing their trumpets in joy," Celeborn muttered.
Lady Galadriel wept with sadness as Legolas disappeared over the horizon.
Galadriel stood up calmly and walked swiftly out of the room. As soon as she was outside they heard her yelling and hitting the walls in rage.
"I think Galadriel and I will be leaving now," Celeborn said quickly as he followed her out of the room.
For a few minutes after she had left the library was silent. Then Aragorn spoke up.
"I never thought anything could shake Lady Galadriel like that."
Legolas just smiled smugly as he fondly stroked his pile of papers.
