Ok this is for anyone else who needs a quick recap or the relationship aspect of the story and it also explains a few things:
Tim and Becca: They liked each other while they were still in California, but Becca stopped liking him, so he was still getting over her when they came, he doesn't want to like her, but he still sort of does. Becca thinks he's over her, and has apparently moved on.
Lindsey and James: They're together, always have been.
Ashley: Single
Davis: Single
Amy and Eomer: Well they're married, but they still have a lot of issues to work though before she lets him anywhere near her.
Relomis: Liked Amy, but became very mean to her when he found out that she was married to Eomer, in hopes that she would be mean to him and give him a reason not to like her.
Ashley awoke to the sound of Amy coughing. "Exactly what time did you get in last night, missy?" when Ashley fell asleep, Amy had not been there.
"I don't know." Amy said, rolling over. "I don't even know how I got in here. Now go away, I'm tired."
"Eomer dropped you off here at about 2 in the morning, now it is 6, and we need to get a move on." Becca said cheerfully entering the tent.
"Drop dead." Amy said burying her face further into her arms.
"Come on, up!" Becca commanded, whacking Ashley in the head with the blanket she was folding.
Ashley groaned and Becca walked outside the tent, convinced that they would get up on their own now.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
Aragorn and Legolas stood side by side next to the horses, talking quietly. "And then what happened." Aragorn asked, raising his eyebrow.
"Nothing." Legolas said flatly. He patted his horse's neck. "We said goodnight, and parted company."
"Then I didn't miss anything." Aragorn said putting the bridle on his horse.
"No, nothing." Legolas said smilingly. He shook his head and looked off to where Becca was coming out of her tent. "And I'm not about to start anything right now either." He said, seeing the look on Aragorn's face.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
Just like the day before, the entire company found themselves paired up upon the horses, on their way to Isenguard. They're were a few difference, however. Becca was sitting in front of Legolas, his arms were around her holding the reins. Amy was sitting behind Eomer, apparently speaking softly with him. Ashley was asking Gandalf all sorts of questions about her family.
It was that way they met Merry and Pippen. They were sitting, smoking, and eating on the wall around the Tower.
"Hello!" Ashley said earnestly smiling at the hobbits.
Merry and Pippen exchanged small smiles with the new comers. Before suggesting that some of them stay behind and help clean out the loaded store room with them, to take back to Edoras.
"I think that's a fantastic idea!" Amy said slipping off from behind Eomer. "Come on Ashley, Lindsey, Becca, boys." The girls complied, but the boys refused.
"I'm not missing this." James said.
"How perfectly gruesome." Lindsey said shaking her head in disgust. "Come on, girls." She walked through the door further down the wall.
The other girls followed. Inside the storeroom was barrels of all sorts of goods. On the shelf they were all lined up in neat rows.
"Well let's see if we can't get these down." Amy said reaching up towards one of the barrels. "Becca come help me, I don't want to break this." They pulled it down from the shelf and rolled it across the floor. "I wonder what's in these." Amy said reaching for the next one.
"Some kind of liquid." Becca said putting her ear to the barrel on the floor.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
They made a strange train, rolling back to Edoras, they had found a cart at Isenguard to haul the barrels in, and had hooked it up to 2 of the horses. They put the hobbits, Lindsey, Becca, Amy and Ashley in the cart. Personally, Ashley thought the cart was much to heavy for 2 horses and suspected Gandalf of doing some kind of magic to make it lighter, but couldn't prove it.
When they reached the Golden Hall it was nearing night. Eowen slid off her horse and took the girls through the open doors of the hall. There was a throng of people waiting there for the arrival of their king and his party.
Eowen took the girls back to the room where they had stayed before. She loaned them some of her dresses and then took their filthy jeans and t-shirts.
"We will get those back, won't we?" Becca asked, eyeing her suspiciously.
"Of course." Eowen said with a laugh. "I wouldn't do anything to them. They're only to be washed." She shut the door behind her and left the 4 girls staring at each other.
"I hate dresses." Becca said looking down at herself. "I especially hate ones that are floor length." She added kicking out her foot from underneath the layers of long fabric.
"Nice shoes." Amy laughed pulling out her sandals from her purse, and slipping them on her feet.
"Well these are the only ones I have. I don't have the gigantic purse you have in which to store everything. Becca pulled her purse out from the nightstand drawer. "We left ours here last time."
"Well let's not stand here all night." Ashley said. "They're having a party out there or something."
"Well they did just win a battle." Lindsey said, shrugging. They walked down the hall towards the noise.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
A couple of hours later Tim, Davis, and James all sat at a table quietly sipping their drinks, watching the rest of the people talk loudly. Merry and Pippen seemed to be enjoying themselves quiet a bit, drinking, singing, and dancing all at the same time, atop one of the tables.
The girls were spread out around the room. Lindsey was talking with Eowen in the corner. Ashley was laughing at Merry and Pippen as they danced, and then began telling hobbit jokes.
Becca was watching Legolas down flagon after flagon of beer with Gimli, who was becoming increasingly more drunk, while Legolas appeared completely sober.
Amy was sitting at a table with Eomer, drinking wine from one of the barrels they recovered. She had never drank before, but thought it rude to refuse Eomer when he offered her a cup for the toast. She had not noticed her cup being refilled, and by now was feeling almost giddy. Eomer had watched her for sometime become more and more tipsy.
"Are you alright?" Eomer asked leaning over and looking her in the eyes.
"Fantastic." She said and then added, "I think we should all feel fan…hic! You have the hiccups."
Eomer smiled. "Oh excuse me."
"I've excused me." She said seriously. She looked at the pitcher containing wine on the table. "Is that wine?"
"Yes it is." Eomer said, holding back his laughter. "But, I think, you have had enough."
"Oh, I don't drink." She nodded seriously.
"Can't you see that you've had a few glasses tonight?" Eomer asked moving her goblet away from her.
"No, I can't you." She said sliding down in her seat, and then hiccupped. "You really ought to do something about those hiccups." She added. "You're probably…hic…drunk if you have…hic….hiccups."
Eomer smiled broadly and then asked. "Have you ever had any kind of liqueur before tonight?"
"No! Yes! Hic… New Years eve. I always have sparkling apple cider!" She looked over at Davis who had just sat down across from her.
"Apple Cider isn't alcoholic, Amy." Davis said with a bit of a frown. "How much has she had?"
"More than is good for her." Eomer whispered. "I was just about to go put her to bed, she's going to feel this in the morning."
"It's probably a good idea." Davis said looking amused at Amy reaching for Eomer's glass of wine.
Eomer grabbed his glass and nodded to Davis. "Come on, Amelia." He grabbed her hand and pulled her up.
"People only call me Amelia when I'm in trouble." Amy said stoutly. "I'm not in trouble right now."
"No, your not." Eomer agreed and the led her out of the hall. "Come on, your going to bed, now."
"But I'm not sleepy." She pouted, and then started falling down. Eomer picked her up and shook his head. She looked down at her feet. "My feet are made of clay" She said.
"I can see that." Eomer laughed and opened the door to his room with his elbow. He laid her down on the bed and tapped her nose. "Now, you stay right here. I'm going to go get you something to drink."
"I told you, I don't drink!" She said yawning.
"Not that kind of drink." Eomer said. "Just some water. Now you promise to try and sleep?" Amy nodded and got under the covers. "That's my girl." He said kissing her forehead. He turned and walked out the door, and when he turned to close it, he saw her sleeping soundly.
Ok... I know it's been a while... And this chapter was really boring, but it's a set up for the next chapter, which should be better. Thanks for being patient with me!
