"No fucking way." said Risty, trailing off as she looked at the splendid house. "You have got to be kidding me."

"Kidding? I don't think so, Risty." Silver said, also in awe.

When they arrived in the house, Risty and Rhian smirked at Silver, who looked like she was about to faint when she saw Elrond. Elrond, however, didn't seem to notice the looks given to him and raised his hands in a welcoming gesture.

"Hello strangers from a distant land. Pray tell, what are you doing in Middle Earth?"

"We have no idea. We just appeared here." Billy said, shrugging.

"We were minding our own business, and *poof* we suddenly arrived here." Charlie added.

Elrond frowned. "News has come to me that seven strangers, and an animal of sorts were in the forest. Please tell me, what do you do?"

"What do you mean, what do we do? For an occupation or what?" Asked Risty. "By the way, is there a spare room around here where we can change into our leotards?" She asked, indicating her cousins and herself.

"Leotard? What is a leotard?" asked Frodo, innocently.

"A suit for dancing, shorty, don't you know anything?" Said Silver, looking completely irritated.

Elrond raised a hand and an elf maid led Risty, Rhian, Charlie and Col to a small room off to the side of the hall. They looked at her thankfully and slipped inside.

Meanwhile, Silver succeeded in cheering Jack up. Risty had left her bag with them, while she got changed into her dance clothes. She had a water bottle of juice in her school bag from lunch and a leftover peanut butter sandwich. Jack seemed happier, now that he had something in his stomach. The four came out of the small room, dressed in a full black leotards, ankle and wrist length, with shirts over it. Ristys shirt sported a wolf with green eyes, Rhian's shirt had a growling rotweiler with gold eyes on the front and on the back it stated: 'Back off, the bitch bites', Charlie had a shirt with the 'CATS' logo on the front and Col had a shirt with a running horse on it.

"Please tell me, what are these costumes used for?" asked Elrond, as the rest of the fellowship gawked at the teenagers thin frames.

"Dancing. We do ballet and tap and jazz ballet. They are types of dancing." Risty pirouetted and began to dance to an unknown beat. She finished in the splits, leaning back, with her back foot touching her head. Even Silver and Billy had to gawk. Charlie, Rhian and Col all sniggered.

Silver began to clap, followed by Billy, Frodo and the rest of the fellowship. Elrond looked impressed. "Lady, there is a splendid dinner tonight in honour of Lady Galadriel and Lord Celeborn who are arriving soon. Would you dance tonight? I think they will be impressed."

Risty grinned, getting up from her position. "Sure. I'd love to." Silver and Billy grinned, and Risty had an idea.

"If Silver and Billy have special talents, maybe they can do something as well. I feel very rude to be asked to do something and my friends are not."

"Why not?" smiled Elrond. "A wonderful idea. Lady Silver, can you do anything special for tonight's dinner?"

"I-I don't know. Billy? What do you think?"

"It'd be cool, I think. Let's do it."

A little later, Risty, Rhian and Silver were showed to a room, which they were sharing. Billy, Charlie and Col had been taken to another room. Risty and Rhian was stretching for tonight's performance. Risty was lying on her stomach, her feet either side of her head. She was reading a book, looking as though it wasn't painful, which, to her well trained body, it wasn't. RHian was using the stone window sill as a makeshift barre. Silver kept looking at them and wincing.

"How on earth can you do that without hurting yourself?"

"Practice." said Risty, turning a page in her book. She looked up and grinned. "If you want to see something even more gross, I can sit on my ass and put both ankles behind my head."

Silver winced again. Risty and Rhian laughed.

"What do you think of the fellowship?" Rhian asked, trying to change the subject.

"Frodo and Pippin cute."

"Why do I bother asking?" Rhian asked, rolling her eyes at Silver, who giggled.

"Ahem, Frodo and Pippin are cute.All the hobbits are cute. I mean, well you know. Aragorn and Legolas, well I'll leave them to Billy." Her eyes twinkled with amusement. Silver slapped her knee. "And as for Gandalf and Gimli.I think I've read ENOUGH of FF.net, namely Loony's chat room fic, to think 'Eww, bad mental image.' Elladan and Elrohir are cute. I dunno yet. as for Elrond, you'd kill me if I went after him."

"I claim Elladan and Elrohir!" Rhian said.

"You suck."

"No, I swallow and I spit. But I don't suck." Rhian's eyebrows waggled mischievously. Silver suddenly got the sick thought and burst into a fit of giggles.

"You are deranged in the head." She said, after calming down.

"But then again.isn't everybody these days?" Risty and Rhian continued stretching and Silver shook her head. This was going to be an amusing trip.
