Disclaimer- I cry every night over the fact that I do not own these people. Seriously.

Woohoo!I got reviews! I was sooo happy! Thanks for the reviews they made me want to get this chapter out faster.
P I P P I N really? Whoops! -_- * If I spell anything else wrong, please alert me. I'll try to get it right this time.



Boromir stared at the deer that had interrupted their conversation. It was a young male, fawn colored deer with a small
pair of antlers on its head.

The deer tilted its head at them curiously while they in turn stared back.

'Let me guess,' Boromir stated. 'Legolas?'

'Who else would it be?' The deer replied.

The group unfroze, while Merry asked Legalos where he had been.

'Oh, I was over there.' Legolas replied vaguely. 'I heard you talking a while ago. You make an awful lot of noise, you
know. '

Merry looked puzzled at that. 'But why did you wait until now to reveal yourself?'

'You only just asked where I was right now.' Legolas stated simply, as if it were obvious.

Boromir impatiently interrupted the conversation, 'If you two don't mind, we really should be concentrating on a way
out this.

He was ignored, for the rest of the group had all been otherwise occupied.

The Hobbits were eating, mouths smeared in berry juice, Gimly was once again rolling gleefully in the mud, and
Legolas had begun to groom himself with his soft pink tongue.

It was then that Boromir noticed that Aragorn's silver eyes were entranced on one thing.

Legolas.

Without warning the wolf shot strait at the deer. Legolas had heard him approach however and leaped out of the way.
Aragorn growled in frusteration as he chased the deer out of the clearing.



Aragorn had only just managed to restrain the wild urge inside him when Legolas had appeared. Taken by surprise,
Aragorn had become entranced by him. Doe brown eyess, delicate hooves and soft coat. It all screamed one thing.

Prey.

Without stopping to think of the consequences, Aragorn had launched himself at the seemingly unsuspecting animal. . .
and found himself lying in a heap on the floor. Growling in frusteration he lunged again, following the deer out into
the forest.

The surge of adrenaline that rushed through him gave him the strength to keep the deer in sight. He was a shot of
silver among the trees, the forest's greatest hunter.

The prey was fast.

But he was faster.



Legolas had been grooming himself, when he had suddenly become aware of danger. A flash of fear struck through him,
when he realized Aragorns intent, and he bolted for safety.

He had attempted to escape, leading the wolf on a long chase in which he occasionly shouted to the man to regain his
senses. But he was tiring. He could feel it in his muscles and in the way that he couldn't seem to get enough air.

'Aragorn!' He shouted, 'Stop this right now!' When the wolf failed to relent, Legolas made up his mind. He was tired of
running, now he would fight.

He changed directions, startling his pursuer, and charged straight for him with his head lowered. His antlers came
in contact with the wolf. Hard.

With a yelp, Aragorn flew into a nearby tree, and lay there unmoving.

Cautiously, Legolas aproached the heap. He started when Aragorn moved and quickly inched backwards.

He watched as the wolf groaned and opened its eyes. Aragorn shook his head to ease the pain and looked up to see
Legalos staring at him anxiously.

'Ow. Did you have to hit me so hard.' Geting to his feet he thanked the former elf for knocking some sense into him.

'Glad to be of service.' Legolas replied wryly.

Together they headed back to the others. When they entered the clearing everyone sighed in relief to see that Aragorn
had not eaten Legolas.

'I think that we need to discuss how we are going to fix this. . .problem." Borimir interrupted.

Aragorn nodded before looking straight at Pippin.



Pippin didn't know what the problem was. There was plenty to eat, and a nice cool stream nearby. In spite of this,
however, the rest of his companions were worried.

Now they were making him walk a long way just to go see some " Lady of the woods".

Strider had said 'She is said to posses very great magical powers and she may know how to reverse this. " After casting
a stern glance in his direction Strider had gone on to explain that her forest lay off in the same direction as there original
destination.

They were moving at a pretty rapid pace, but there was a problem. Everyone kept on getting distracted. Gimly kept on
laying down to taking a nap; while Legolas often wandered off, leaving the rest of the group behind. Aragorn was
stopping every few minutes to go to the bathroom. Boromir had said it had something to do with . . .mar . . . marking. .his
territory . . .

Pippin lost his train of though at the sight of a cluster of acorns up in a tree. He was just about to go after them when
Boromir called them to a halt. Boromir seemed to be the only one that was not distracted every few minutes.

'Listen, it's going to take years to get there at this pace.' the man began. 'You have to stop getting distrac. . . ." Pippin
looked up when the the small skuk trailed off.'


Borimir was getting fed up with the pace of the group. After Legolas stopped to nibble on a blade of grass for the third time Borimir
had had enough.

Calling a halt to the expedition, he prooceeded to explain the need for urgency. In the middle of his speech, something caught his
eye. It was. . . .a cricket.

A big cricket, jucy one by the looks of it. Boromir slowly advanced on the defensless insect concentrating completely on its movement.

'Hey Boromir?'

Startled Boromir reacted instinctively. Raising his tail he he aimed at the target.

And fired. A foul odor filled that section of the forest and an incredulous voice was heard.

'You sprayed me!'


TO BE CONTINUED

Well of course I had to have Boromir spray someone! It was such a wonderful opportunity. HE HE.Please send me feedback on who he should
spray. I'll seriously consider it. Thanx again for all the great reviews. By the way, in case you think the characters are slightly out
of character it's because they have taken on their own animal's personality. I did choose an animal that I thought would best suit them,
though. I also noticed I've been spelling Boromir wrong. That is how you spell it. . . .right?
Please review.
