Lokelani knew she may have looked a bit different, but she always thought
of herself as an average girl, until one day something happened to change
it all.
It was February, and a Monday, but Lokelani was staying home from school with the flu. She didn't really feel that awful, so after her parents left for work she got out of bed to go watch television. After a while of switching through morning infomercials, Lokelani decided to go read a book in her room. Lokelani picked up a Harry Potter book to read. She had just finished reading the Lord of the Rings trilogy for the tenth time, and now she was rereading her Harry Potter books over. Halfway through the chapter she had begun reading; Lokelani thought she heard a noise outside.
"It can't be Koa, because Mom brought him to the groomer this morning." Lokelani whispered to herself, thinking of her Golden Retriever.
She walked slowly into the den, and picked up the poker for their decorative fireplace and began creeping around the house like a cat. Lokelani surprised herself at how quietly she could creep. Despite the fact that she had on embarrassing Eeyore pajamas, she stepped outside in the warm sunlight. She walked around the yard, still carrying the poker for protection, when she saw the strangest person she'd ever seen in her life.
A man-a quite amazing man at that-was walking around her yard, looking extremely confused. His hair was long, but not as long as Lokelani's, and blonde. He had on strange forest green clothing and. "Uh oh, he's got weapons." Lokelani said under her breath. He had a bow and arrows and two strange looking knives. But his confused attitude made him seem harmless. She straightened up, as she was hiding crouched behind some bushes at a corner of her house.
"Excuse me, sir" Lokelani said clearly. He jumped and turned around. He had the most brilliant, beautiful blue eyes [A/N: excessive use of the letter 'b' ?? haha]. "Excuse me. Who are you and why my I ask, are you on my property?" Lokelani finished. The man had been startled both by Lokelani's beauty and strange clothing. He turned away, still looking around. "Who are you sir?" Lokelani said slowly, scared that she had a psycho on her hands.
"I have never seen a place of such strange and different beauty," he said slowly, his eyes grazing from the palm trees, to the tropical flowers, and then to the rocky shore in the distance. Lokelani got a vibe that this man wasn't harmful, so she approached him. "Sir..." she began.
"Oh!" he said suddenly, as if coming out of a trance. He turned back to Lokelani, stared at her for a minute, smiled, blushed, and looked away.
"Is there a problem?" Lokelani asked, getting agitated. When was this guy going to tell her who the hell he was and what planet he was from?!
"Please, forgive me my lady." He said smiling. He had an accent, English. "My name is Prince Legolas of Mirkwood." He bowed. "Though it does not seem I am in Middle Earth...so you will know nothing of Mirkwood." he said, more to himself. Lokelani swayed. Was this a dream, or did this guy just say Middle Earth and Mirkwood???.and Legolas, as in the warrior elf of the Fellowship? What was going on? "What is it my lady? You look pale. Is there something I can do??" Legolas said with a look of concern.
"Pinch me" Lokelani said thickly, and everything went black.
She woke up with a cool hand patting her face. She was awake, but kept her eyes closed. She felt herself on the ground, but who was that patting her face? Then she remembered what happened. "That was a dream," she said aloud.
"What was that?" an English voice said. Legolas. She opened her eyes to see a pair of beautiful blue ones staring back. She groaned. She felt slightly psychotic. Was this a side effect of the flu? Hallucinations of Lord of the Rings characters popping up in her yard???
"You are NOT real." She told Legolas, as she still lay on the ground.
"Would you rather me leave?" Legolas asked. "I'd rather not, I do not know my way about this place."
"No, it's alright, you can stay. You're nice to look at, I'll say." Lokelani said smiling weakly.
"I could say the same about you." Legolas said blushing. "You haven't told me your name yet, nor where I am."
Lokelani sighed and sat up. "My name is Lokelani. And you are in a place called the Hawaiian Islands. It is a completely different world than Middle Earth, which you'll be surprised to know that I know a lot about...Now, help me up, and we can go inside to get something to drink, They you can tell me how you got here." Lokelani said, as Legolas pulled her up. They went inside, and Lokelani poured two glasses of iced tea. Legolas looked strangely at it. "It's called 'iced tea', just drink it." Lokelani persisted. They sat down at the table, and began to talk.
