Forever in a Wish

Chapter Eight

She woke up suddenly. She did not know why. Then she blinked…when did she fall asleep? She thought for a minute and remembered what Gimli told her about mithril. It was some sort of rare metal that looked like silver, but stays shiny. Also it was very hard, like a dragon's scale. Mei pouted as she remembered how she begged to see a dragon and that she could not. Then she shivered. There was someone with some sort of power that was close by. She got up and stretched, keeping her guard up for the power source. She sighed as she felt the cramped muscles loosen and then she jogged towards the powerful chi she had just felt. She walked around, taking in the heavenly beauty. Her senses led her to a stairway, which lead her down to a small courtyard. Mei blinked as she saw that there was a female elf with platinum blond hair that flowed from her head. Her skin was so pale and white like snow. Her clothing was plain and yet elegant at the same time. Mei soon found herself admiring the elf. Then she shook her head…it seems like Yen's girl watching was rubbing on her. Why could not the guy do some guy watching instead? Then she shook her head again. Yen liked girls not guys. Mei noticed that she was alone. How odd for a beautiful woman…okay…elf to be alone with the full moon…okay make that three quarters of a moon…with romantic surroundings…it made no sense to her. The human sighed and approached the elf.

"Hey! Waiting on your lover?" she said smirking. The elf gave a gentle smile at her. Mei then stopped smirking and stood on her guard. Something was not right about this elf. It seemed like the elf read her mind for she gave a husky chuckle.

"Do not fear me, Priestess…I have no intentions in harming you."

Mei gave a snort…but then leaned against the wall of the courtyard. She felt a little bit uneasy that she did not have much to go against with this elf and the fact that the elf held a ton of power in her. Who was this elf?

"So…let me guess…you must be this Lady of the Woods, right?"

The elf gave smile.

"You are correct. Pray, tell me how did you know?"

"Easy…your chi is extremely powerful compare to the others. Also the fact that you looked like a "golden goddess" as my friend hobbit, Pippin, said. Anyway, I'm also getting the feeling that you were waiting on me."

"You are correct. You must be a powerful priestess to understand all of this."

"Nope! It's just logic. One, you never got to see me. Two, you radiate more power than anything I ever met. Three, you called to me." Mei said as she fingered off the reasons she could think of. The elf chuckled and sighed. "So how about telling me your name?"

"My name is known as Galadriel." Mei gave a nod to this. Then she glared at the ethereal figure.

"So…what do you want with me? I'm not part of the Fellowship. Also, I don't really care about this mission of destroying the ring."

"You do care about the Fellowship, do you not?" Galadriel asked smiling. Mei turned her nose up.

"No…I don't give a shit about the Fellowship." Mei said carelessly. Galadriel raised an eyebrow in amusement. "I just care about the guys. Is that all you want?"

"Do you know why you were sent to our world?"

"Hell no! If I did, I'd be telling everyone by now!" Mei said with a scowl on her face. Then she studied the elf beauty before her. "Wait a minute…do you know something about me?" The elf shook her head gently.

"I am afraid that I am just as vague about your appearance as you are. I do not know the reason you were sent here…however, I ask of you to protect the Ring Bearer." Mei rolled her eyes as she slid down to the floor with the wall on her back.

"That's what Gandalf said. Why is it that everyone keeps telling me to take care of him? He can take care of himself! Why am I the one that everyone asks?" Galadriel merely gave a nod at the question.

"It is rather odd that a human such as yourself is asked to do this. However, you will have no choice on the matter. You will need to decide if you will take the duty of caring the Ring Bearer or follow a path that would lead into destruction. Whichever path you choose is your own." The elf said. Mei glared at her.

"The future hasn't been decided yet. There are more than two paths to it and you have no right in ordering me to do something when you mean nothing to me. I'll decide what the hell I want to do and no one is going to change that. So do you got anything else to say?"

Galadriel gave a smile before she stared into the golden eyes. Mei blinked and found herself staring into a pair of deep blue eyes. She tried to look away, but could not take her eyes away from the piercing gaze of the elf. She felt like she was drowning in a pool of knowledge or a pool of time. What was this elf doing to her? Then Galadriel gave a small smile.

"Your heart will cause much conflict upon the Fellowship. Especially upon yourself. Why is it that the only happiness that you will find in life will be here? What will happen to you when you go back?"

Mei said nothing for a long time. Then she got up and began to walk away. She stopped and then gave her answer.

"I'll just bear it and grin. Like I always do."

**************************************************************************** **********

She gave a hiccup as she looked up at the night sky. After the talk with Galadriel, Mei could not go back to sleep. So she did the only thing she could think of …she got drunk. It was not easy to find any alcohol and she had to sneak around to find some wine. Once she found it, she took about three bottles of wine… not knowing how they are and proceed to drink herself silly. She had just finished her first bottle of wine and so far she only felt a slight buzz.

"Stupid old woman…just what the hell does she think she's doing? Going into my life like that…wait a minute…she read my mind…how did she do that?" she murmured as she opened the next bottle. The she began to chug the bottle down. She could only get about 1/8 of the bottle down. She winced as she felt the bitter taste of the wine. For some reason…the wine was getting her drunk a lot slower than a six pack of beer would.

"Why do elves have weak wine? Hey you!" Mei called out…her vision now a bit fuzzy. She pointed at flower that was near her. "Yea you! Don't turn your pretty pink head away! Don't ya know that it ain't nice to do that…" This was followed by another drink from the bottle before the drunken priestess began talking to the flower.

"You know how people tell us that live is unfair and that we have to deal with it? They sure as hell don't know me…or you. I mean look at you! You must be a pop star or something with that kinda hair…and me…I'm a punk rocker pop star…okay okay…I'm a fake punk rocker…jeez, you don't have to go all tech….tech…naaa,,,collll….whatever. You know what I mean…"

She leaned over to the flower and frowned. It looked like she was listening to it. If anyone had seen it, they would see that the girl did look very serious. However the flush on her face gave it away that she was drunk. As well as the strange gleam in her golden eyes.

"OH!! You just told me you like that what's her face…I can see. She's hot! I bet if I were a girl…I would jump her! Huh? That's right! I am a girl! Damn…why didn't I jump her…wait you're a boy! So I should be a boy to jump her, right? Oh…what's wrong with being a girl? Oh…you're just jealous that she might choose me over you! HA! Well, maybe you should dye your hair blue…that way she'll like you!"

She took another gulp of wine and gave out a loud laugh. She was now drunk enough to let go of her self-control. She then looked at the flower with a thoughtful look on her face.

"You need a nice drink! Here you go!" Mei dumped the bottle of wine onto the flower and grinned at the sight of it.

"Hey! You have to drink it! Don't let it just spill on you! Drink that!" She giggled at the sight of the pink blur being dripped with wine. Suddenly, her badly controlled senses felt something close and behind her and she turned. All she could see was a blurry face and long blond hair. "Hey! You're a blond!"

Legolas sighed as he saw the girl. She was sitting on the floor with a grin on her face. He frowned as he took a closer look at her. Her face looked flush and her eyes were a bit too bright to be normal for her.

"Mei…are you all right?" he asked frowning. She gave a giggle and then took a drink from a bottle. His eyes widen as he realized that she had been drinking. He looked to see one empty bottle and that there was another full bottle by her side. "I believe you need to rest now…"

She shook her head and gave him a sloppy smile.

"Ya know…you look like an elf...are you an elf? Wait…elves are blonds so that makes you an elf…" Legolas sighed and gave a nod at that. He really needed to put her to sleep.

"I am going to carry you to bed now. You will feel pain in the morning." He said as he began to carry the girl. However, he had a hard time in doing it, for Mei kept on wiggling away from him. There was also the problem with her claim on the bottles of wine.

"NO!! These are mine! I wanna drink them! See! Can't ya hear them? They're saying that they want me ta drink them all up! OH!! They also said you need a little drinkie as well!" Legolas sighed and managed to carry the girl in his arms. However, he did not expect for her to snuggle when she finally allowed him.

"Mei! What are you…"

"You're cute…you look like Legolas…only he's much more cuter…" Mei said as she took another sip of wine. Legolas felt his face turn pink but said nothing. "Hey Elffie, do you think that one elf…what's her name…uh…Gal…Gal…whatever! Don't you think she's hot?"

Legoals sighed and decided to ignore her. However, the drunken priestess refused the silence for an answer.

"Come on! I think she's a babe and I'm a girl! Of course…you elf guys are pretty hot as well…I hate you guys." Legolas blinked in surprise at that. Why would a child hate them?

"Why do you hate us?" he asked softly in her ear. Mei gave a giggle.

"You sound like Legolas too…I hate the fact that you guys are so damn pretty…I wish I had your beauty. That way, I could have a normal life. That way all of the guys would notice me and I would get married!" she said with glee. Legolas looked at her while she snuggled closer to him. Why was it that she had to be drunk to look so care free? Maybe someday she would be free on her own.

"You are pretty already." Legolas said kindly. Mei made a face at that.

"Yeah right…who would want a girl with eyes like a demon and hair that looks like a child's? No one…" suddenly her voice had grown sad and she finished off the bottle. "You know, after I showed the entire school about what I can do against demons…no guy wanted to lay a hand on me besides Yen…and he's a pervert."

"Then they are fools…you are pretty and no man should fear you." Legolas said as he held her closer. Mei looked at him in the eyes.

"Ya know…your eyes look like Legolas's…he has pretty eyes. I like him out of the elves I've seen."

Legolas blushed as he heard that.

"Why is that, priestess?"

"Because when I look at him in the eyes, I can tell what he's feeling. That and the fact that his face is like an open book ta me. I can tell if he's lyin' and so far he hasn't lied ta me yet! Ya know blondie…I hate this place…this heavn shit. Ya know why? This place is too damn perfect to live in. No one would be happy here. You damn elves live in the light, doncha? Well…it sucks! I bet you guys don't even noticed that the those orcs thingies were made to balance you…like how demons were created to destroy innocent wishes…" She whispered this although Legolas's ears easily picked it up. "Hey Elffie…want to know something about my world?"

"If you wish to."

"Really, buddie…you got to loosen it up! You sound like Legolas…always acting like he has a stick in is ass. Do you think he swings that way? I mean…I can see him with Aragorn except I like Aragorn with Arwen…don't you think so? Dark against light? Maybe he likes one of the Hobbits…although I don't see him with any of them. Hey…what was I going to say?" Mei asked but before Legolas could recover from what he had learned from the priestess's mouth, she went right on talking. "My world sucks with demons cause humans wanted their desires granted. Do you have any idea how greedy humans are? Women want children or men would want power, money, or sex. Life sucks for me. Always having to be perfect…to pray for my soul and the souls of others. Elffy, don't you know that if a guy is on the good side for so long that he becomes the very demon that he tries to destroy?" Legolas was silent as he placed the girl down on the bed.

"No…I have no idea of this."

"That's a load of shit, Elffy. I bet you know about why those orcs were created. To balance out the light of the elves. Hell…I bet my wine that elves were the first to become orcs…you know that. That's how holy people became demons. You know why I act the way I do…acting all bad and good. I need to balance myself or else I'll…turn…into…. those…monsters…" she fell asleep while hugging her wine bottle. Legolas sighed and brushed her blue hair. Then he placed a soft kiss on her forehead. She moved at the touch but did not wake up. He watched her for sometime when she sudden mumbled something. His ears picked it up and he flushed at her words.

"…Legolas…love…food…Frodo…sushi…sake…Legolas…Yen…pervert…Legolas is a guy…"

**************************************************************************** **********

Pain was the only thing that was in her mind. She groaned as the hangover grew worse. She wanted to look for a mirror but decided that it was too much work for her. She stayed in bed for sometime until she felt four bodies jump on top of her. Her hangover got worse when she heard Pippin and Merry shouting.

"Damn it! It's too early to be yelling at this time of day! Have some respect of the dead and let me sleep!" Mei grumbled as she grabbed the sheets and hid under them. However her wish for rest did not come when she felt someone powerful pull the sheets away from her. "SHIT!!! I got a fucken hangover you ass! What was that for?"

She looked up to see that it was Aragorn and Gimli who had grabbed her sheets. She tried to glare at them, but the light form the sun bothered her eyes. She did not need this now. Aragorn then noticed the wine bottle that was beside her and frowned with disproval. However the accused did not pay any attention for she was trying to calm the pain that was in her head.

"We need to leave now." He said calmly. Mei made a face and gave a nod but winced at the action.

"Shit! Just how much did I drink last night? I swear that I only had a sip of this stuff…wait a minute…how the hell did I get here? The last thing I remembered was sitting somewhere else talking to some pink haired guy…then there was this elf who…hm…what the hell did he do?" She muttered as she scratched her head and then shrugged. She would have time to think about the past evening. She looked at herself and made a face. Her clothes looked awful and she was glad that there were new robes for her. They looked exactly like the ones from Rivendell…(AN: DAMN!! Screw the spelling for now)

"Well…at least I'll look the same on this dumb quest."

**************************************************************************** **********

Legolas sighed as he looked over at the girl who was currently sleeping with her back leaned against Gimli's back. She still had a pain in her head and so she had to sleep it off. He sighed and wondered just how much did the human girl like him. It was odd to him that this girl was admitting feeling towards him…however how did he feel about her. All he knew was that he felted like that he need to protect her at all cost, and at the same time she made him mad to wonder if she was a hell spawn. His feeling towards the priestess was more than confusing; it left him feeling like he had no control over himself. For example, why is it that he felt like he wanted to kick the dwarf out of the boat? Aragorn had already looked over to them and he kept on shaking his head for some reason. Gimli, however, did not find his situation rather well. The first thing that was bothering him was the elf. Why was that elf giving such hard looks? The second thing that was bothering him was the priestess who was sleeping on his back. She was getting a bit too heavy.

However, Lady luck was on the dwarf's side as Mei opened her eyes and got off his back. She looked around and yawned. She blinked a couple of times as she noticed that they were on a river. She tilted her head to one side and began to ponder on what was going on. Then she remembered.

~FLASHBACK~

"Man…do I really have to visit her again? She's creepy as hell…I think she's some sort of she-devil." Mei moaned as Aragorn dragged her out to meet Galadriel. Aragorn sighed and shook his head at the girl.

"She is Arwen's kin and you should be more polite to her. She is going to give you a gift to help you." Mei gave a snort at that.

"Some morphine would help me with this damn headache! And you guys still want me walking with a handgover!"

Aragorn merely shrugged his shoulders at that. "You are the only one to blame for drinking in such manner. Take the consequences of it." Mei gave a grumble at that.

"What are you my dad? Even my uncle doesn't give a damn about me drinking. No one really cared about it. Even my sister knows about it and she doesn't do anything about it! So why the hell are you bothering me?" Mei whined. Aragorn looked at her and merely shrugged.

"I believe you want me to care." Mei blinked and allowed him to drag her away in silence. She soon found herself in front of Galadriel and some other elves that were with her. Probably her court and that one elf…Haldir. She still did not like him and have to keep herself from making a face at him. She saw that the others were there as well and she decided that now was a good time to space out. She nearly fell asleep when Aragorn gave her a nudge and she quickly woke up. She looked around to see that everyone was looking at her.

"What? I'm not feeling too good!" Aragorn whispered in her ear and she gave a sheepish look on her face. She walked over to Galadriel and bowed. Her eyebrow twitched as she saw the amused smile on the elf's face.

"Priestess Mei from the other world, we wish that…" Galadriel began. However, Mei's hangover got the better of her and she mostly concentrated on looking at the woman's eyes. Her daze episode was broken when she felt something in her hands. She blinked and looked down. Then she looked at the elf in disbelief and surprise as well.

"What the hell am I going to do with a ball of string?"

**************************************************************************** **********

Sorry…this would have to be the shortest chapter I have ever done in my life…I just wanted to get this posted to you all…Thank you for all of the wonderful review and I'm sorry to the person who told me that I spelled Rivendall or whatever it is wrong…I got the spelling from this LotR website that had a lot of stuff on the movie. You all are wonderful and the next chapter will be a lot more exciting…

Also…I'm starting on a new fic that continues on after the Trilogy…I'll give you a little summary on what I will do about it. Mei is returned back to her world, however, she still hasn't told Legolas how she feels. After a year, she continues on with her life with only four people who know about her adventure and only two who know about Legolas. In Middle Earth, the rest of the Fellowship meets up in a reunion only to find themselves in Mei's world…right now would be the perfect romance scene except for the fact that Legolas was forced to bring another elf and this little lady wants him as her own. This whole groups also includes Arwen who happens to have a little surprise of her own and a wonder ful scene where Mei beats the crap out of Aragorn for bring Arwen into her world…why is she doing that? Wait until I write it out!
