Disclaimer: Thanks a ton to everyone who reviewed! I really appreciate
it. I own none of the
characters except Leela, George, and Roselyn. Hope you enjoy the chapter!
The next morning I awoke to yet more rain. My mom had apparantly gotten home because I
could here her talking in the kitchen. My mind was kind of foggy, so it took me until I saw Roz
sleeping on my floor to remember last night's weird events. I sat bolt upright, jumped out of bed, and
shook Roz.
" Wake up! Wake up!"
" Mmmmmm.......mushrooms...."
I laughed and whispered in her ear.
" Roz, it's Frodo. Wake up!"
She sat right up and I almost died of laughter. Roz, however, didn't think it was very funny, and pushing
her red hair out of her eyes, she smiled sarcastically. " Ha."
I then went about refreshing her memory of last night and we both got dressed. Attempting to
tiptoe up to the attic without my mom seeing us didn't work.
"Oh, good, you girls are up. Come down and eat."
Exchanging frusterated glances, Roz and I went downstairs. George was still asleep. My mom
smiled when we walked in. " Lee, I'd like you to meet Mr. Esiw. His car broke down in the
storm last night, so he stayed in the living room."
I looked over to see a tall man with long black hair and pointy ears. My eyes bugged out. He looked
just like-
" I-El-ummm-how?-wha-?"
I could do no more than stutter. Roz's mouth hung open in disbelief. My mom had an amused and
confused look on her face. " Girls? Why are you acting so strange?"
I stared blankly at her. " Ummmm...we.." I grabbed Roz and we ran back into my room.
"Lee? Why is Elrond in your kitchen?"
" I have no idea. And what's even stranger is that my mom is getting along with him and doesn't think
he's wierd."
" Yeah, he's probably wooing her with the history of Middle Earth."
I laughed. " Let's go see if the guys decided to stay."
We walked up to the attic and opened the door only to see--- George lying in the middle of the
floor.
" George? Why are you up here?"
He mumbled tiredly, " Couldn't get freaks out....out of ..my room...so I ...came up here."
At that moment, my mom decided to try and call George down for breakfast.
" George please don't tell Mom about last night?"
" Mmmm..kkk..."
Roz and I sprinted to George's room. I opened the door and immediately hads Gimli's axe aimed
at me. I'm sure he intended for it to be at my throat, but because of his stunted growth, it was
a little lower. I shoved his arm out of my way and walked in.
" Ummm...yeah anyways...Why did you guys come in here?"
I saw the hobbits talking in a corner, Aragorn and Borimir looking at my brother's baseball card
collection, Legolas looking out the window, and Gandalf playing GameBoy. No one answered me.
" Hello?"
Sam came over to me.
" We wanted him to explain things to us and we fell asleep because he kept going on and on about
a thing called a... PS2." He shrugged.
Roz grinned. "Well, you'll never guess who's down in the kitchen!"
Pippin looked up. " Kitchen?"
Gandalf kept his eyes on the game. " Who? Awwww.. crap! I died!"
Roz hopped up and down. " Elrond!"
The GameBoy fell to the floor with a crash. Or rather a thud since the ground was carpeted.
" Oh, drat! I tried to leave that ancient fortune cookie behind!"
Elrond's head popped into the room. " Oh, fine! I see how it is! Ditch the cool guy! You're just
jealous!" He ran a hand through his hair. Gandalf's eyes flashed and he looked at Elrond disdainfully.
" I assure you I am anything but jealous."
Roz leapt at Elrond and clung to him. Elrond struggled to revome Roz. You see, Roselyn has a
thing for Elrond and Frodo. Don't ask me why, cuz I'll never figure that out! Anywho, back to the
story. I closed the door so my mom wouldn't walk in on the odd scene.
" Gandalf? Really, why are you guys here?"
He sighed. "Well, since this house had been empty, we were going to use it as a vacation house.
That whole deal with the Rings was pretty tiring."
" Why didn't you invite Elrond here?"
" He's always on vacation! All he did was sit pretty in Rivendell!"
Elrond flung Roz across the room and she landed in Frodo's lap.
" You have no idea how hard it is-"
I held up a hand. " Look, we're on vacation,too, so you guys can stay in the attic and we'll be your
tour guides. No one knows Orlando, Florida like we do."
Aragorn nodded his agreement and went back to studying a Gary Sheffield card. The others
gave their consent as well. My mom called upstairs. " I'm going to the grocery store! Did Mr. Esiw
leave yet?"
A sappy grin lit Elrond's fac and he opened his mouth to reply. Instead I answered for him.
" Yes and he said thank you!"
" Okay, wake your brother up for me! There's food in the oven when you're hungry, bye!"
" Bye!"
The front door shut and I looked out the window to see that the rain was gone. The tell tale signs
of a sunny day showed through. The only bad thing was that Elrond seemed to have a thing for my
mom.
