Chapter 16



The next morning, Arwen came to talk to us all. The night before, she had spent most of the time with Megan, then some time helping Frodo, Legolas, and I. The the rest with Strider.

I had put Shoni in the nursery that was in Rivendell because I knew I would be buisy today.

" Hello. I am here to tell you of Megan's condition. She should wake up sometime today, and then you can see her. She was so far along, she probably wouldn't have lasted another hour. Thanks to the bravery of Frodo, Legolas, and Aragorn, she is saved. And a big thanks to Jamie for her quick thinking, bravery, and friendship." she said, smiling.

" Thank you Lady Arwen, for helping us all." I said. A woman walked up to Lady Arwen, and she turned to us.

" Megan has woke up." she said.

" Frodo, you can go first." Legolas said, nodding towards Lady Arwen. He walked away with her, and I turned and looked at Legolas. He leaned over and kissed me on the lips.

" I forgot to thank you for saving us." I said. He smiled and I added, " Why did it take you so long?"

" Well, Kim covered up his trail, and went out of the way several times." Legolas answered me. I got up, and offered him my hand. He took it, and got up too.

" Would you like to take a walk?" I asked. He nodded. " Where would you like to go?"

" Anywhere you go." he said. As we walked on, I was silent. " So, Jamie, what was your childhood like?" Legolas said, breaking the silence.

My face darkened. " Well, I had a nice life up to the age of twelve. Mom and dad broke up because mom cheated. And he boyfriend was my worst enemy. I hated Kim. Most of the rest of my life, well, till the age of when I died, sucked. It was awful. Most of the time I was out at hte barn, in my room, or at Megans. Then Megan's mom met Billy, the ass, and got re-married. Then her mom annouced she was moving to Chicago. Megand and me ran away, but got caught, then Kim killed my horse, and then killed us. So Megan never had to move. That may be the good side. I had a little brother that couldn't be away from mom 3 minutes without freaking out. And he was 11!Kim always made fun of me, and he hit me once, when I was 14. But I hit him back, with a large branch. Oh, and when I was 15 I got hit by a truck." I finished.

" Wow...could you please tell me what a truck is?" he asked politely.

" A truck is a machine that runs on oil, and is relativily large. And they are metal, and people drive them. And they can go very fast. I got hit with the truck only going 35. I got hurt badly, but any faster, I would have been killed earlier in life." I replied.

" Where did you live?"

" I lived in a small town. Sullivan, IL." I said.

" How far was that from Chicago?" he asked.

" Um, Chicago IL was about 5 to 7 hours. What is up with the questions?" I asked. He smiled.

" I don't know...I just want to know more about you." he answered.

" Ok..." I said, as Lady Arwen walked up.

" You can see Megan now." she said, and turned so we followed her. When we walked into the brightly lit room, we saw Megan eating everything that was eadible on her plate. The widow was open, and Frodo was sitting on the window seat.

" Hungry?" I asked. She nodded, and I started to laugh.

" Lady Megan, how are you feeling?" Legolas asked, smiling. As soon as Megan swallowed all the food in her mouth she answered.

" Legolas, thank you for asking, I feel great, but Lady Arwen won't let me get out of bed to see this beautiful day. And Legolas, I would like to know how many times I have told you not to call me Lady Megan?" she asked, looking up. Legolas shrugged. " For pete's sake, I'm like your best friend, so call me Megan, M-E-G-A-N. Ok? Say it, I want to hear you say it." she said.

" Megan."

" Again."

" Megan." he said, smiling.

" Well, I see your back to normal." I said.

" I heard you kicked Kim's butt! Was it fun?" she asked, excitment on her face.

" Yes, it was fun, and yes, I kicked his butt, and yes again, I made it painful." I said.

" Good, but I wish I could have seen it. He deserved it. Anyway, thats the past now. We can move on. I want to thank you all for saving me. I heard, from Lady Arwen, if it wasn't for all of your bravery and Jamie's quick riding, I would be dead. So thank you." she said, looking at all of our faces.

" No problem. I'm your best friend, I would do it for you anytime." Legolas nodded. Frodo kissed her hand.

" Jamie....Are you wearing a dress?" Megan asked.

" Wow...you finally noticed. Yes, I'm wearing a dress, but this will be the only time any of you will ever see me in a dress." I said, smirking at them all. They started to laugh.

The dress was light blue, and was a v-neck. It had long, see through sleeves, and it went past my ankles, dragging the ground.

" And your wearing high hells with it. Like you need a heith boost." Megan said. I looked down at my heels. They were white, and the straps went to my ankles.

" Megan, quit eating!! We are having a feast tonight, and your not going to be able to eat the food!" Frodo laughed, taking her plate away. We all started to laugh at Megan's protests, and thats how Arwen found us.

" Frodo, Jamie, Legolas, Megan needs her dress." she said as she shooed us out.

" Megan, promise me you will wear a dress to the feast tonight." I said before I was pushed out.

" I will!! Just for you!" she laughed. Lady Arwen shut the door after me. I could hear her talking to Megan.

" Megan, you have some good friends there. Jamie seems quite the calm, nice girl." she said.

" Lady, I have some great friends there, but I would not lable Jamie as calm and nice. You have not seen her, temper or her craziness." Megan said. " She is just in an extremely good mood." she finished.

" Uhuh...Well, anyway, you need your rest. In about 2 hours, I will have the bath and clothes ready for you.

In the Meantime
------------
" What the hell do you mean, ' they beat you to Rivendell.'" the serously injured Kim screamed at the Orcs. " I always knew you were good for nothing. I want you to get them...I have got to heal from these injuries I have substained."

" But the river swallowed up alot of our men." the same large Orc that couldn't use his 'r's' right, was talking to Kim. They were in a cave, far away from Rivendell.

" Now that is the biggest load of crap I have heard in a long time. A river, swallowing you up! If you don't get them, you will pay dearly." he yelled at the Orcs.
------------


Legolas and I walked to the huge hall that the feast and festivities were going to be held. The feast would begin in about a half an hour. There were many cooks running around everywhere.

" I'm starved. I can't wait." I said.

" Jamie!!" I heard a voice behind me. It was Megan and Frodo walking towards us. She had ahold of Shoni. " Hi! You look great, both of you!" she said, giving Legolas and me a once over. She handed me Shoni. " I thought since on my way here I go by the nursery, I could pick him up for you." she said.

" Thank you. Frodo, Megan, you look good. Megan, I'm glad your wearing a dress. I would be so mad if you didn't." I said. She had on a white dress, v-neck, and it was long sleeved. It dragged the ground like mine. But around the neck and cuffs, it had little silve diamonds.

Legolas had on his best hunter green tunic, and Frodo had on his best suit. " Oh." Legolas said, diggin in his pocket. He pulled out a small carved out horse, that had the same eye and hair color of Evan.

" Now your family of horses is complete." I said, smiling.

We all sat down, and Elrond came up with Lady Arwen beside him, and beside her was Aragorn. Everyone stopped talking and turned their attention to Elrond.

He cleared his voice and started to talk. " We are here today on behalf of Megan Baggins, Frodo Baggins, Legolas Greanleaf, and Jamie Greanleaf. For Megan, on her good health, and bravery against Kim Abbott. Frodo Baggins for his calmness and his bravery on saving Jamie and his wife, Megan. Legolas for his bravery and courage in the process of saveing Megan, and his wife, Jamie. And Jamie Greanleaf for her bravery and quick thinking, not to add, her good riding. If it wasn't for her thinking and quick riding, Megan wouldn't be hear. So, I thank them all, for the friendship they showed." he finished looking at each of us. Everyone started to clap at once.

The Lord Elrond cleared his throat. " Now, lets eat!" he said.

After the food, Elrond tapped his glass with his fork. " Now, Megan, Jamie, would you please us with a song?" he asked. We both nodded, and I blushed.

" Now this is one that Frodo taught us like the fourth day we were here." Megan said.

There is an inn, a merry old inn
beneath an old grey hill,
And there they brew a beer so brown
that the man on the moon himself came down
one night to drink his fill.

The ostler has a tipsy cat
that plays a five-stringed fiddle;
And up and down he runs his bow,
Not squeaking high, now purring low,
now sawing in the middle.

The landlord keeps a little dog
that is mighty fond of jokes;
When there's a good cheer among the guests,
he cocks his ear at all the jests
and laughs untill he chokes.

They also keep a horned cow
as proud as any queen;
But music turnsher head like ale,
And makes her wave her tufted tail
and dance apon the green.

And O! the rows of silver dishes
and the store of silver spoons!
For Sunday there is a special pair,
and these they polish up with care
on Saterday afternoons.

The Man on the Moon was drinking deep,
and the cat began to wail;
A dish and a spoon on the table danced,
the cow in the garden madly pranced,
and the little dog chased his tail.

The Man on the Moon took another mug,
and then rolled beneath his chair;
And tehn dozed and dreamed of ale,
Till the sky and the stars were pale,
and dawn was in the air.

Then the ostler said to his tipsy cat:
'The white horses on the Moon,
They neigh and champ their silver bits;
but their master has been drowned in his wits,
And the Sun'll be rising soon!'

So the cat on his fiddle played hey-diddle-diddle,
a jig that would wake the dead:
He squeaked and sawed and quickened his tune,
While the landlord shook the Man on the Moon:
' Its after three!' he said.

They rolled the Man slowly up a hill
and bundled him into the Moon,
While his horses galloped up in rear,
And the cow came carpeting like a deer,
And the dish ran up with the spoon.

Now quicker the deedle-dum-diddle;
the dog began to roar,
The cows and horses stood on their heads;
The guests al bounded from their beds
and danced apon the floor.

With a ping and a pong the fiddle-strings broke!
the cow jumped over the Moon,
And the little dog laughed to see such fun,
And the Saterday dish went off at a run
with the silver Sunda spoon.

The round Moon rolled behind the hill
as the Sun raised up her head.
She could hardly believe her fiery eyes;
For though it was day, to her surprize
they all went back to bed!

Megan and I finished our duet, nad everyone clapped. " That was wonderful! Frodo, didn't Bilbo teach you that?" Lord Elrond asked. Frodo nodded. Then Elrond, and several other Elves told tales, some I have heard before, but I love them every time.
In the meatime
