A/N: Another long chapter, so sorry again. This has the potential of being
a lovey-dovey chapter, but there you go. Things aren't always what they
seem.
I know the timing in this is all crapped up. They were in Lothlorien a lot longer than 3 days, but I can't be arsed to write that much. Ciao people! Luv Elf Crumpet xXx
Chapter 14
Michelle made her way back to the gardens, where she had bumped into her friends before lunch. She needed to relax. (It was very beautiful throughout the whole of Lothlorien, but you don't appreciate things as much when you're on). She wandered alone for a while; taking in the beauty, thinking about Legolas, but soon got bored. She turned round to go back and find someone to talk to, and she walked straight into something. Well, actually, it wasn't something, it was someone. Michelle was amazed to find Legolas standing in front of her. Had he followed her or was it just a coincidence? Well, either way, she didn't mind. She was alone with Legolas.
"Oh, h-hi." She managed to stutter out. "A-Are you looking for someone? Or are you just taking in the beauty?" 'Stupid! Like he's going to answer you. It's none of your business.' She thought to herself 'Well, it's too late now. Better just let the humiliation begin.'
"I was actually looking for you." Michelle's jaw must have hit the ground. 'Why the hell was he looking for me? Not that I mind.'
"You were? Why? No, I mean, yes, that is what I mean, why?" She could feel herself going very red. Legolas laughed.
"Well, I realised that the only people in the fellowship I haven't had a proper conversation with are you and Becky."
"And Mary-Jo." She added.
"No, actually Mary-Jo and myself had a rather… interesting conversation last night, when everyone was asleep. She was talking about something to do with a person called Raziel, a "good" dragon called Spyro and her playstation. But anyway, so I decided I'd talk to you. I didn't want try and talk to Becky because I find her quite scary, and because of what she did to me this morning." Legolas frowned at the memory. Michelle couldn't stop laughing.
"Well, that's a shame, because she fancies you like nobody's business." She said. "I suggest you just keep your distance. Hide when you see her coming, you should be safe then."
"I'm afraid I have to correct you there. It's Haldir she likes, not me."
"Nah, she likes you so much more."
"No she doesn't."
"Yes, she does."
"Doesn't."
"Does!"
"Does Not!"
"Does Too!!!" This went on for some time, until they were yelling at each other. Just then, Becky and Tracey showed up.
"Becky. Who do you fancy?" said Michelle, before they had a chance to greet her.
"Not Haldir! No, of course not! I don't, honest! Why do you say that?" she said, quickly.
"We didn't." said Legolas.
"Dammit!" said Becky.
"HA! Told you! It's Haldir she likes, not me." Said Legolas, smugly.
"Whatever." Said Michelle, angrily. Suddenly, Becky screamed, then broke down and was crying hysterically. It took 10 minutes to get an answer out of her.
"Becky, what is wrong?" said Tracey, annoyed. Becky lifted her hand.
"I broke a nail." She sobbed.
"Is that all?" said Legolas, but then he wished he hadn't.
"No, that's not all! I took me three hours to get that nail into shape, and then a month to grow it to the right length! My nails are the most treasured part of my body, and you say 'Is that all?' You are one sick, sick elf. You need help. You need to learn to prioritise!" said Becky. Tracey and Michelle had cautiously backed away; knowing what Becky was like about her nails. Becky and Legolas were just out of sight, but not out of hearing, when Legolas came running around the corner.
"I hate you! Leaving me like that! You have the unfair advantage of knowing what she is like, and then leave me to handle it. You are so annoying."
"And proud!" said Tracey, grinning like a maniac. But Michelle felt sorry for Legolas. She had been in that situation more than once, so she knew how he felt. She felt quite bad for leaving him alone with a distraught Becky.
"I'm sorry Legolas. We get scared too you know, that's why we ran." She did puppy dog eyes at Legolas. Hopefully they would work. They worked on Boromir that's why she always got her own way. It did. Legolas felt bad for shouting.
"It's all right. Just don't do it again. I'm more scared of her now than ever!" Tracey and Michelle laughed. A 3000-yr. old elf scared of a 15-yr. old girl? 'Well, there's a first for everything.' Michelle thought.
"I'm sorry, Legolas." Came a voice from behind them. They all turned around and Becky was standing there. "I didn't mean to scare you."
"I… um… it's, er, ok." He replied, nervously, even though he knew she really was sorry.
They walked back to the pavilion, where Pippin and Merry joined them. Tracey saw her fit elves again; Becky saw Haldir and Michelle was with Legolas. Pippin was gazing at Michelle. He'd become quite fond of her. She knew how to handle herself. She was positive, bubbly, confident, pretty and unattached. One word ran through his mind: 'WAHEY!'
"I need chocolate. Melted chocolate." Moaned Becky.
"To eat? Or did you having something, or someone else in mind?" said Mary-Jo, mischievously. She and Clare had just appeared behind her.
"Oi! Get your mind out of the gutter!" Said Clare.
"What?" Mary-Jo replied innocently. "It's a reasonable question?"
Aragorn walked reluctantly into the pavilion, knowing the five girls were there. Boromir, Gimli, Frodo and Sam followed him. He stood in the middle, trying to look important, but just not. Nobody was paying any attention to him, so he got Michelle to get their attention.
"Listen to Aragorn, NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" She yelled before settling herself back down in between Tracey and Mary-Jo.
"Thank you, Michelle." Said Aragorn, whilst rubbing his ear. "We will be leaving Lothlorien tomorrow." Becky began to cry, again.
"Oh, but, I don't want to go. I want to stay here, with Haldir." Said Becky. She wasn't going to keep it secret anymore. Most of them knew already.
"Well, you all knew anyway." Then she had an idea. "I know! Can Haldir come?" she asked excitedly. Mary-Jo burst out laughing.
"You tell us!" she said. Clare slapped her, trying not to laugh.
"Stop it!!!" she said, then she gave up and laughed with the rest of the fellowship. Except Becky. She hadn't understood what Mary-Jo had said. Legolas explained to her, and she went very red.
"Shut up!" she hissed at Mary-Jo. And with that, there were a lot more tears, hugs and jokes to make them feel better. Becky decided not to go with them. She would stay in Lothlorien with Clare and Haldir, and Tracey would take her place. Mary-Jo had basically become an unofficial member, and refused to be left behind. She still hadn't seen Legolas kick any serious orc-ass yet.
