Chapter Six: A surprising friend

It took a while for Buffy to adjust to the fact that Frodo had something that could destroy the world, and that there was an evil wizard and something called orcs after him. She had seen many strange things, but this toped them all. The next morning the company and Buffy got up early, before sunrise, and started out. They had been going on for about 20 minutes when they ran into a sleeping man, who was naked. They looked at each other and Aragorn went to wake him up. "Um.excuse me?" Aragorn said. The man woke up and jumped up. "Oh! I.I.Buffy?" the man said. Buffy just looked at him quizzically then her jaw dropped and opened and closed in disbelief "O-Oz?" she breathed "Buffy, .yeah, uh it's me.um.hi" "Yeah, hi.umm Ox.maybe you want to put your clothes back on." then she turned to the others "This is Oz, a friend from Sunnydale, he left a while ago though". She continued to talk to Oz but, was kind of cold towards him. When they got to camp she asked for a bunch of rope and started to tie Oz to a tree. "You know I have to do this, Oz, for precaution" "Right, but I am better now" Oz replied "Um.what is going on?" Asked Gimli "Well," Buffy said tartly "Oz is a werewolf," "A what?" asked Merry " A werewolf, kind of a wolf man" Buffy explained "Oh.oh.that's- wait, what?" Merry said "Yes, I am" Oz said "Well then, Legolas and I will keep the first watch, Aragorn and Gimli, the second.and so on" Buffy reasoned. "Sound good?" "Sure" Legolas said.

Buffy and Legolas sat near the tree after everyone had fallen asleep, not talking. "So," Legolas started "this.Oz, he.he, um.I mean, you and he were never, in love were you?" Buffy laughed "Oz and me? No way! He, and my best friend, Willow, were in love, but, um, he broke her heart" "Have you ever had your heart broken?" Legolas asked "Um, hmm.well, yeah.twice actually, well, twice by men" "You've had you're heart broken by women?" "Well, not broken, in the sense of boyfriend, girlfriend sense, but.my mom died, and that broke my heart" "Oh, I'm so sorry" Legolas sympathized "And now, I don't know where I am and before I left I know I was fighting this daemon, named Glory, who wanted to kill my sister, and I don't know what happened to her and, and I am just so confused" she started crying "I'm CRYING! Oh.I need Giles! Where is Giles!" she started sobbing, and Legolas, bewildered, put his arms around her till she stopped crying. "Oh, man!" look at me "I've cracked! Gone over the edge! Into mental town, and I'm crying and my face is probely all blotchy and.and" she put her hands up to her face, but Legolas pulled down her hands and held them.

"No" he insisted "you are beautiful" Buffy looked up, into his eyes. They leaned into each other about to kiss. Suddenly Buffy's digital watch beeped signaling the end of they're shift. They jumped apart and looked over at the werewolf Oz, who was sleeping soundly. Legolas started to say something, but Buffy got up and walked away.
