Chapter 33

Legolas felt fine when he woke up again. He could move easily and the headache was gone. He stretched luxuriously and sat up. He looked around, noting the sun was just rising.

Jaisia smiled at him. "Good morning," she said cheerfully. She offered him some bread and cheese. "You've slept a full day and night. I bet you're starved," she said.

Legolas accepted the food. "I am, thanks," he said. He glanced over at Gimli then his eyes widened. "Jaisia--" he began, but Gimli woke and sat up.

"So you're finally caught up on your beauty sleep, you need it, crazy elf," Gimli grumbled.

"You need it far more, stupid dwarf," Legolas retorted.

Gimli snorted and moved off. "I'm going to check around and make sure all is well," he said.

Legolas cracked up the minute the Dwarf was out of sight. "Jaisia--how could you? Gimli is going to be furious!!" he sniggered.

"I thought that it looked nice," Jaisia said. She looked rather puzzled.

Legolas just shook his head and laughed harder, wondering what Gimli would do when he realized his beard was braided and tied with a pink ribbon. "This will be amusing," he said. He just taken a bite out of the cheese when it happened.

"BY MY AXE!!!!!" Gimli bellowed. "Someone will suffer for this!!!!!"

Legolas choked and began coughing. Jaisia whacked him on the back. The shout also woke up Aragorn and Kai.

"What the hell is going on?!" Aragorn demanded. "What's wrong with Gimli?"

Legolas finally managed to regain his composure. "Nothing, he's just a bit upset with his new beard style," he said. He couldn't believe he got that out with a straight face.

Aragorn and Kai looked confused, but Gimli stormed back into camp before they could ask. Unfortunately in his haste Gimli hadn't removed the ribbon. Aragorn and Kai both burst out laughing which started Jaisia and Legolas laughing all over again.

"SHUT UP!!!!" Gimli roared.

"But Gimli, pink is definitely your color!!" Legolas choked out. "You look just adorable!!"

Gimli yanked the ribbon off then combed out the braid with his fingers. "Dwarves do NOT wear ribbons! And I do NOT want to look adorable!!!!!!" he yelled. He tossed the ribbon at Jaisia and stomped off. "No wonder the elf and centaur get along so well! They're both crazy!" he complained.

It took them an hour to coax Gimli to come have breakfast and another twenty minutes to get him to ride on Kai's back. Finally they were on their way towards Rildar once more…

I didn't want Gimli to miss out on the fun!! (Besides I've been serious to long!!!) R/R please!!!
