Fellowship Of The Fangirls
by TigerBabe aka Syndarys The Elf.

Disclaimer: I own nothing, I am but a poor student, who lives off beans on toast. Suing me would be pointless... unless you want to deprive me of my beans on toast.
Authors Notes & Warnings: Shameless self insertion, along with some other people (e.g, my sister, Ivy). Rated PG for possible swearing, and rabid fangirls. Flame if you wish, but flames will just be used to cook my beans on toast. Also, it's *NOW* based on the book, due to the fact the Two Towers movie hasn't been released yet... but you already knew that.
Extra Notes: Ooohh, I've got a copy of the Silmarillion now *does a happy dance*... though that has absolutely no relevance to this story... it's nice to share, though.
I apologise for the last chapter, it... in a word, sucked. 'Twas terrible. And so, I hope to make up for it in this chapter. *smiles*
Zephyr; I'm considering doing spin off's for Ivy, Elanor, Frodo and Sam's journey, and also doing a little bit with Bramblerose, Ruby, Pippin and Merry. However, I'm gonna stick to Syndarys's experience for now (I don't wanna develop schizophrenia... uhm, rather, I don't wanna make my schizophrenia worse; two personalities is bad enough). However, if you're up for it... wanna write some of either Pip, Ruby, Bramblerose & Merry's journey, or Frodo, Sam, Ivy & Elanor's journey? You're a good author, and very funny... I think you'd do well with one of those... I think the first group would be more up your ally though :) It's your story if you want it :)

"Hmmm, water," I sighed as we first came into view of the Entwash. Unfortunately, as I went to rush toward it, strong arms wrapped around me and held me still. I turned and looked up, to find Aragorn holding me, stopping me from moving.
"If you rush across the bank, you may disturb any signs of our friends," he said as he released me from his grasp.
"I'm an Elf!" I said with slight annoyance, "I don't disturb things, I'm graceful, and light-footed; I wouldn't disturb the ground."
Aragorn sighed, and I noticed out the corner of my eye that Legolas smirked. Nalin & Gimli muttered about crazy Elves. I scowled at them.
"Of course you wouldn't, but all the same, I'd prefer it if I could check first, before anyone walks over the ground," Aragorn passed me by not waiting for a reply. I scowled at him. Stupid human.
I flopped down on the ground, waiting for a signal from the Ranger. I glanced up at Legolas, who just stood there. I raised my eyebrows with a questioning glance, and he sighed, and sat down beside me. I smirked. Cool, I can get Legolas to do stuff without even saying a word. Must be my Elvish charm.
I tilted my head to one side to look at Legolas. I smiled and gazed at him. It didn't take long for a smile to creep across his face slowly, though he didn't turn to look at me.
"What?" he asked, amusement in his voice.
"Hmmm? Nothing," I replied, my smile broadening.
Legolas turned to look at me, propping his head up with his hand as he smiled in return.
"There must be something," he said quietly as he scooted a bit closer to me, "What is it?"
I looked up at him, the smile fading, and my face becoming serious. I leaned forward, until we're so close our noses are almost touching. Legolas's eyes flutter, almost closing. Then I opened my mouth.
"You've got a bit of mud on your cheek."
Legolas started laughing, and shaking his head. I grinned, before lifting my hand to his face, and turning him back to face me. Then I dipped in and kissed him softly, gently, and quickly, before jumping to my feet and walking over to where Aragorn was. He'd just called us over. Apparently Legolas had been a bit too... distracted to notice.
I turned back in time to catch Legolas staring wide eyed at me, with his mouth open. I inwardly sniggered as he shook his head, and a smile passed across his face. He stood up and walked over to stand next to me.
Aragorn pointed to the ground, "Footprints, Hobbit ones," I glanced down and saw the footprints for myself.
Candra broke in, "So at least one Hobbit was here for a while, but he went into the forest, but there we cannot track, or shall have difficulties in doing so, as the ground is bare and dry, and does not reveal it's secrets easily."
Aragorn nodded, "Very true, but follow we must, as we cannot abandon them."
Gimli snorted, "I do not like the look of Fangorn, we were warned against it. I wish there were another way."
Legolas gazed up at the overhanging branches, "I do not think the wood feels evil," he stepped forward closer to the tree line, "No, it is not evil; or whatever evil is in it is far away. I catch only the faintest echoes of dark places where the hearts of the trees are black. There is no malice near us; but there is a watchfulness, and anger." I watched as Legolas peered into the forest, listening to the way it spoke to him.
"Well, it has no cause to be angry with me," said Gimli, "I have done it no harm."
"That's just as well my friend," he cast Gimli a smirk, before returning to his inspection of the forest, "But nonetheless it has suffered harm. There is something happening inside, or is going to happen. Do you not feel the tenseness? It takes my breath away."
I grinned and wrapped my arm around his waist, "I thought I did that?"
He grinned back at me, and placed his arm over my shoulders, "Very true," he said, turning back to the rest of the group. "This forest is old, very old, so old infact, that I almost feel young again," I looked up at him and muttered 'you are young'. He just smiled and continued, "I could have been happy here, if I had come in days of peace."
I shrugged, "I am happy here," I squeezed my grip on Legolas a little tighter, but affectionate, "As I am here with all of you, people who I am delighted and proud to call my friends."
Gimli smiled, one of the first times I'd seen him do so, might I add, and looked up at us, "Why thank you Lady Syndarys, but might I suggest getting underway now? Time is running short, and I wish to find our Hobbit friends sooner rather than later."
I nodded and gently untangled myself from Legolas.
"Well, lets go then!" I turned to Aragorn and gestured to the forest with a slight mock bow, "Lead the way, oh skilled and Kingly Ranger," I grinned.
He grinned back, "With pleasure, my Lady," he bowed in return, and turned toward the forest.
With one last look back at the river, we all plunged deep into the forest.
