1.1 Chapter 13: Lego's Bath
Marcie and Legolas walked through the backyard to a small pond with a little waterfall. When they got there, they realized that they had forgotten a towel. "Uh-oh, I guess you need a towel, huh?" Marcie asked. "Uh..heh, yah I guess that'd be good," Legolas said with a smile. "Well you go ahead and jump right in!" Marcie said, "and I'll go get you a towel." As she turned and made her way back, she looked over her shoulder and saw Legolas undressing. 'No, I shouldn't look,' Marcie thought, 'it would be rude.' She got a towel and walked back to the pond. She walked to a nearby branch and laid it over. "Here you go," she said. She could hardly move when she saw him in the water. He looked so gorgeous, she just wanted to jump right in with him! "Is something wrong?" he asked, bringing her back to reality. "Oh um, no, not at all," said Marcie, slightly embarrassed. "Um, I'll be going now," Marcie quickly said as she walked off. Once he wasn't looking, she ran and hid behind a bush. 'Hmm, he seems really nice…but how to get in there with him,' she thought. She suddenly gasped and said, "I've got it!" She took a peek and saw him slip underwater. She got up and pretended to walk towards him. Picking a good place to jump/fall, she said, "Oh Lego...AAAH!" and jumped (actually, pretended to fall) into the pond just as he came up. She came to the surface and cried, "Help me Legolas, help me!" and then went back under. She closed her eyes and suddenly felt him wrap his arms around her waist. 'Yes, it worked!' she thought as she felt him pull her to the surface. As she felt the air when they came up, she leaned her head on his shoulder, coughing and pretending to have "passed out". As he laid her on the shore, he said, "Don't move," to which he jumped out, wrapped the towel around his waist and ran back to her. "Amorfiwiel, are you ok?" he asked. "Amorfiwiel, wake up." He gently patted her cheek and shook her gently. As he gently stroked her forehead, she thought, 'Why is he calling me by my real name and not Marcie like everyone else? Hmmm…oh well, I'll just see what else he does.' Legolas was now holding her hand. Since the water was quite cold and she had a heavy dress on, she felt cold too. She unintentionally started to shiver. "Oh no, she's probably cold," Legolas said to himself out loud. "What to do to keep her warm….I know, body heat!" he said out loud. Legolas climbed on top of her (to which Marcie was silently praising the heavens) and was just about to remove his towel , when a voice said, "Whoa now, I can see I came at a bad time!" Marcie and Legolas both turned to look at Colby. "You know Legolas, it might work a little better if she was awake." Legolas looked down at Marcie so fast that she didn't even have time to close her eyes again. "Oh, um…cough cough cough," said Marcie, pretending her best to look like she had just woken up. "Amorfiwiel, you're alright!" Legolas said as he helped her sit up. "Yes, my dear Legolas, and you saved me!" she said as she stood. "Will you be alright? Can you make it back to the house?" he asked, his face full of concern. "Well, I'm not sure," she said as she took a step and pretended to stumble. Of course, Legolas was right there to catch her. "Whoa, I think you should carry her back," Colby said. "You're right," he said as he lifted her up. As she put her arms around his neck, she leaned her head onto his shoulder and thought, 'Man, he is strong! And ooo, he smells good too!' As she looked back, she saw Colby and made a face at her, in which Colby guessed that she had come at a bad time. At this, Colby just laughed.
