Don't go off at us and make us cry

All we want to do is play

You can have them back another day!

Summery: I'm not wasting my time…

"Oh it's that picture" I muttered as I saw what Jamie was looking at. Us dressed as hippies. I've never forgotten that day, simply because it was great. Just the three of us together.

"Hey Em" Jamie rolled over and looked up at me. "I'm just re-remembering the good times"

"Well, I've got a good photo for you" I told her, taking my diary out from my private drawer. "But its kind of…you know"

"No, let's see it" she said holding out her hand. I found it and held it out to her. She looked at it and gave a scream.

"Oh no!" she laughed. "Not Billee"

"Yeah, our dear friend Billee" I took it back and looked at it with a smile. It was a photo of Billee, taken during vacation. He was standing next to his beloved horse, my dog at his feet. The problem? He was wearing only his boxer shorts at the time.

"Does he know you've got it?" Jamie asked. "He hasn't got a bad body, I must say"

"Course he knows" I said with a smirk. "He gave it to me. He did it for a dare"

"Well, our Billee is known for being a daredevil" Jamie agreed. "But I never thought he would agree to something like that"

"He'll agree to anything," I told her with a sigh. "Do you remember that photo of us and Elrond?"

"I've got that one here" Jamie said. I sat on her bed while she went through the photo album. "Here it is," she said finally. I looked over her shoulder to see the photo.

It was a great photo. Me, Jaime, Elrond and Billee. Elrond was in the middle, while Jamie and I stood either side of him, his arms around our shoulders. Billee stood right on the end, his arm locked firmly around my waist. We all looked happy.

"So what do you think?" Jamie asked. "If Elrond had favourite students, it would be us wouldn't it?"

"Yeah, I think we are his favourite students" I confessed. "Although he can't admit it. I don't care, Elrond's all right"

"That's what makes him such a good principal" Jaime said quietly. "He cares about his students."

"That's right, he sure does" Billee came in, Legolas following him as usual. "Now, do you two want the bad news or the bad news?"

"What now?" I said with a sigh. "Let me guess, Gimli again?"

"Yeah, kind of" Legolas nodded. "You know Gimli still makes comments and stuff, but he won't come too near us?"

"Yeah, because he's scared of Billee and Jamie" I said. "So what?"

"Well" Billee looked around and lowered his voice. "He's only gone and made friends with Randy, hasn't he?"

"Oh crap" Jamie muttered. I could see her point. Randy is the class troublemaker and, before Gimli came along, he was also the school bully. He had it in for all of us, Baz and Billee because they won't let him get away with bullying people, me because he came on to me and I turned him down flat and Jaime and Jake because they're hobbits. If you put him and Gimli together, it's not good.

"You two had better take it easy for a while" Billee said slowly. "I'm all right, I can take care of myself. So can Legolas and Baz. It's just the pair of you and Jake I'm worried about"

"Maybe it doesn't mean anything," Legolas said quickly, probably in an attempt to reassure us. "After all, Randy is the only person who will have anything to do with Gimli now. Maybe Gimli just wants to make a friend"

"I hope you're right, Legolas" I got off Jamie's bed and went over to the window. "But I suppose we had better be careful. At least until we know for sure. We still don't know exactly what they are capable of…"
