Hiya! I would have gotten the next chapter out yesterday, but I went to see LotR again
(my third time, and I seem to like it more and more! Only second to the book, of course)!
Well, from what I can tell, two or three people suggested something along the lines of
Gimli being an overprotective brother, and I was actually planning on him being one too!
A few people have already voted for the couple to be Usa/Legolas, which is way off from
the guy I had in mind. Hm, well, I'll think 'bout it... So, I'll start my story now, so let's
get it ON!!! ^-^
As Gimli, Mamatoba, and the rest of the group neared Rivendell, they got off of
their horses (much to the relief of everyone but Mamatoba), and continued on their way.
As they got a better look of the city, their eyes widened in wonder. How was it that Elves,
of all people, could make such a beautiful city?
A young Elven man was walking along the street, going to see if he could catch a
glimpse of any of those chosen to attend the Council. He looked up the path and saw a
group of Dwarves. One had red hair, another white, and two with dark brown. But the
Dwarf that caught his attention had long blond hair tied back into a think braid, bright
blue eyes, and was wearing a large shirt, loose pants stuffed into boots, a large helmet,
and carried a shiny axe at her belt.
Without noticing it, he had started to blush lightly, and a bit of drool escaped the
corner of his mouth. 'How can this be?' he questioned himself silently, 'How can she
posses a beauty to rival even the fairest Elven maiden?'
Gimli looked ahead, and seeing the Elf drooling over his baby sister, got an angry
gleam in his eye. It took a few seconds, but the Elf noticed the redhead rising up behind
the Dwarven beauty. He could feel his face drain of all color. The man seemed crazed
with that gleam in his eye, the foam escaping the corner of his lips, and the LARGE,
SHINY axe held as if to hit him.
The Elf made a strange strangling noise in his throat, and turned to run away. In
his haste, he failed to notice the cart behind him, and promptly fell flat on his face. He
scrambled up again, and raced off, praying that the Gods held mercy upon him.
Mamatoba had noticed this, and gave a strange look at the Elfs strange behavior.
'Not only are the Elves selfish, as big brother told me, but they are also just plain
strange.' She couldn't help but think. She turned her head over her shoulder, and saw her
brother absently wipe at the corners of his mouth, though she could have sworn she saw
foam.
"Big brother," she said, and continued when catching his attention, "When is the
Council to start?"
"Pretty soon, I suppose," he replied, and made his way to the House of Elrond.
Mamatoba shrugged, and followed, as did the other Dwarves, and they entered the
building.

Mamatoba stifled a yawn, serious discussions always made her tired. She started
to doze off, but was rudely awakened by the arguing of almost every member of the
Council. Almost every member, she noticed, but the young Hobbit sitting at the end.
"I'll go," he said, but the arguing was too loud for anyone to hear, but Mamatoba.
"I'll go," he said again, only slightly louder. Everyone turned to him, he seemed
almost to falter, and gave a quick look at everyone, and stopped at her. She smiled at him
encouragingly, and his resolve seemed to strengthen, "But I do not know the way," he
continued, the slightest of pink rising in his cheeks.
(A/N: From now on everything goes pretty much ONLY according to the movie, with
some slight changes courtesy of moi)
The wizard walked to him, "You will have my help on this quest, Frodo," he said.
After that, the Ranger from the other end stood up and walked to the young Hobbit as
well, "I will protect you with my life, you have my sword," Soon another Hobbit came
from the tall grass near the meeting place and babbled something about going with
'Frodo', as he was called, no matter what.
Then an Elf stood next to the Ranger, "You have my bow," he promised.
Mamatoba looked towards her brother with a grin, they stood up and walked to the young
Hobbit, "And you have our axes," they said in unison.
That's when two more Hobbits joined, "Ay!" the younger one called, "We're
going too!" They scampered to a place beside Frodo.
"Besides," the same one began again, "you need someone with intelligence on
this mission... quest... thing," The one that had run over with him mumbled to him,
"Then that rules you out, Pippin,"
The younger Hobbit, Pippin, gave a nod, before catching himself and giving him a
glare, "So," he started, looking back to Elrond, "where are we going?" Everyone looked
at him bewildered, to which he responded with a naïve look.
***
Mamatoba sighed as she tried to get the tangles out of her long hair, and gave a
growl of frustration as the brush got stuck in it, yet AGAIN. She fumbled to get the brush
out, and sighed, giving up.
"Would you like some help," an elegant and wise voice questioned. Mamatoba
turned to find a dark haired Elf standing in the inside of her doorframe. Mamatoba gave a
snarl, "I would sooner hike across Mordor, than let an Elf touch my hair,"
The Elf gave her a calming look, which caused Mamatoba to slowly relent.
Surprisingly, the Elf got the tangles out of her hair with ease, and they got to talking.
After a short period of time, the Elf excused herself, and left Mamatoba half asleep at the
vanity.
She yawned and dragged her feet across the floor, and slouching on her bed. As
she fell asleep, she found her dreams plagued with shining crystals, tall women in strange
outfits, and a world not at all like this one.
Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude... that turned out longer than
expected... Aw well, I hope this was enjoyable, and I hope you guys review (hint, hint).
