Disclaimer : The Author would like to sum up this whole disclaimer in two words: Not Mine. Only Amy, Tim, Davis, James, Ashley, Becca, Lindsey, and Relomis belong to me everything else Pretty Much belongs to Tolkien.
"Pretty nifty." Tim said as they entered through the gates. He saw Eowen running through the crowd looking for Aragorn. Lindsey and Becca looked at each other and nodded.
"Eowen, hey, Eowen!" Becca practically tackled her to get her attention. "Come with us, someone told us you have to…"
"Secure places for the people to live in in the caves back there!" Ashley finished. Eowen looked back over into the line of horseman coming in. "Becca, go make sure the Legolas, Gimli and Aragorn got in all right."
Becca turned and stared at her "Why would I look for Legolas? Why in the name of Pete would I look for Legolas? I don't care what happens to him; that's absolutely ridiculous to send me!" She stared icily at Ashley and then said, "Fine."
Eowen looked suspiciously at Lindsey. "Why does she hate him so much?" Lindsey shrugged slightly, but Ashley grinned.
"They're having a torrid love affair!" She said in a gossipy tone. "They're both crazy about each other, but they don't want people to know because of the whole elf mortal thing. They pretend to hate each other so no one will catch on."
"Really?" Eowen gasped.
"Really!" Lindsey said joining in on the fun. "We weren't supposed to tell. She sneaks off at night and goes and meets him! Sometimes she doesn't come back for hours." She giggled slightly.
Eowen's eyes got as large as she stared off in the direction that Becca had taken. "You don't say?"
Ashley shook her head "Oh, it's awful how they have to pretend to hate each other. She cries sometimes at how incredibly mean she has to be to him to keep up appearances. It so sad. Especially because they've you know…done things. Oh I didn't say that! "
Eowen's mouth dropped and Lindsey looked shocked at how far Ashley had gone with the lie. Lindsey laughed nervously.
"Don't tell her we told you. You can talk to Legolas about it though, he's so distraught about the whole thing, poor dear, and has no one to talk to. He hasn't told Aragorn yet, you'll have to tell him for us honey if we talked to him it'd look awkward if we did it. But you must tell him not to tell Legolas he knows. But you didn't hear anything about any of this from us."
"Oh gosh, listen to us prattle on Eowen you'd better go over there and start bring people to where they need to be. I told James we'd hook up with him after we found you and told you." Lindsey practically dragged Ashley away from Eowen and frowned intensely at her. "That went a bit far don't you think?"
"No, I didn't say what they'd "done". She's just assuming. Besides nothing will come of it it'll just be funny. She'd be too embarrassed to tell anyone. "
"What about Tim?" Lindsey asked worriedly.
"He doesn't like her anymore." She said flatly. "Besides we'll let him in on it."
"Since when does he not like her?" She asked confusedly.
"Since 3 months ago, didn't you know about it? Gosh, they're just like brother and sister now."
Becca scowled as she searched for Legolas. She was muttering about how stupid a certain blonde elf was when she saw him slumped against his horse in a deserted corner, save for Gimli who was holding the horse.
"Legolas!" She gave out a angry breath when he didn't answer. "Hey Legolas!" He turned and looked at her with no anger or annoyance in his eyes as he usually did, but with eyes that were close to tears. "What happened?"
He gave a small frown and then said, "Aragorn." Becca looked around for a second confused at the implications before she remembered.
"Oh, I'm sorry." She moved closer to him and put a hand on his shoulder, leaning against the horse. "I… don't know what to say, Amy and Lindsey are much better at these sort of things then I am. I'm just so sorry, but don't worry, I'm sure he'll turn up, I'm sure he's just hurt and on his way back."
Legolas shook his head, "I probably couldn't even survive a fall like that." Gimli led the horse away and Becca stumbled. Legolas caught her as she was falling over. Therein passed a significantly awkward moment in which Becca was looking up at him while being held almost horizontal in his arms. For about ten seconds neither of them knew what to do so they just stayed like that staring and not breathing. Not romantically, no! Panicked? Probably. Embarrassed? Assuredly. Although, the usual look of disgust was gone; which was a significant improvement.
Unfortunately for them, Eowen couldn't see the look on their faces as she walked by. She just saw Legolas and Becca alone in a rather deserted place in each others arms, upon further inspection, breathless. Eowen's eye widened, her mouth gaped open and she scurried off so as not to 'disturb' them.
When they broke apart Becca blushed slightly and smiled nervously. "Uh, thanks." She smoothed the surface of her flat shirt. "Well um, I want you to know that…umm…. I really don't think you're all that bad."
Eowen peaked her head around the corner again as Becca gave him a swift and chaste kiss on the cheek and ran off in the other direction.
Finally another chapter up. This one comes to you due to the inspiration of the most stressful day ever, Jessica fainted backstage 3 times and then once agian 5 lines before she had to come on and i had to ad-lib an enitre story about her and her dog causing trouble in the Piggly Wiggly for 5 minutes. And the people backstage, well let's just say a couple of them were being seriouly jerky to my sister and my best friend (who were doing their jobs fast and correctly) and i was getting pissed because these same people who were being mean kept forgetting to clear off the stage in between scenes and never had the props where they needed to be and it was horrible. so yeah that's why. Gosh I don't mean to sound all mean and horrible about it but it keeps happening and I had to talk to my friend who was doing the lights but is technically backstage manager about it, so he's going to talk to them about it, cause if he doesn't I will and i will not be happy about it or Gentle i will seriously just go in and say... well lets just say it won't be nice.
Anyhow enough about my day Read and Review as always i want to hear about anything questions, comments, tragic bass fishing accidents, Bleeding Armadillo Cake... you know stuff like that
