Disclaimer: Sorry it took me so long ot get up this chapter! I've had a
lot to do lately. I also had a
small case of writer's block. Hehehe. I'm sure you've all experienced that before! Well, here goes!
Enjoy and please review! I need reviews!
Roz burst into tears and Frodo shoved her head off his lap. " Nobody loves me!" she cried.
Everyone stared as Roz proceeded to cry her eyes out. I sat down next to her.
" What do you mean. no one loves you?"
" Elrond likes your mom and-and Frodo hates me!" she sobbed.
" No one hates you, right guys?"
The Fellowship nodded fervantly and Roz's tears stopped immediately. " Really?" she smiled. "Okay,
let's go eat breakfast." With that she ran downstairs. Pippin looked at me expectantly.
" Okay, let's go."
We trooped down to the kitchen. While we were in there, my strange house guests proceeded to
stuff their faces with a variety of foods. These included crackers, Doritos, muffins, fruits, hot sauce,
choclate syrup, and mucj more. Pretty soon they all sat down and the phone rang.
" Is that a phone?" Pippin asked.
I nodded and picked up the reciever, but no one was there. I shrugged. Stupid people always
call and then hang up.
" So...what do you guys want to do today?"
Borimir shrugged and looked at Aragorn.
" Ask Gandalf, he's the vacation arranger."
Gandalf was busy playing Level 10 of Mario.
" Gandalf?" said Roz. " Gandalf?"
" What? Oh, crap! You made me die!"
" Sorry. What do you want to do today?"
" How about the beach? But wait, we've got two confounded Elves who might try to cross the sea."
Gandalf glared at Elrond and Elrond stared back.
" Legoals and I don't want to cross the sea, Gandalf. We're on vacation." he retorted.
I broke in before the two could kill each other.
" Ok., beach itis. Roz start packing a picnic and I'll go see if George wants to come."
As I went upstairs I could see the hobbits helping Roz pack most of the contents of the refrigerator
into a picnic basket and cooler.
I opened the door to the attic and found my brother still lying on the floor. I poked him.
" George?"
" Pizza..."
"George?" I said in a singsong voice.
" No mushrooms.....just pepperoni..."
" George, we're going to the beach. Wanna come?"
" And a coke......"
I rolled my eyes and went ot find a pen, paper, and some tape. Quickly scribbling a note of our
whereabouts, I taped it to my brother's forehead and went back downstairs. Roz already had the
Fellowship piled into her small car since my mom had our van. She beckoned for me to hop in
and we drove to her house to pick up her swimsuit ( mine was under my clothes already). We
were going a steady pace with Gandalf busy with GameBoy ( he'd discovered the wonders of
Kirby) and the Beach Boys blasting, when Roz slammed on the breaks. Aragorn rubbed his head
where it'd hit the roof and grumbled. " What was that for?"
Roz had a look of complete and utter horror on her face. I looked at her.
"What's wrong?"
" They don't have swimsuits! They can't go to the beach without swimsuits!"
I gasped. She was right. " K-Mart here we come!"
I grinned and Roz spun the car around.
* * * *
We arrived at K-Mart within a matter of minutes and convinced everyone but Legolas,
Elrond, and Merry to stay in the car. It took us awhile to actually get inside the store because
Merry kept running , facinated, in and out of the automatic doors at the entrance.
When we got in, I led the way to the Boys department and made for the swimsuits. Legolas,
Elrond, and Merry stared about in wonder at the hobbit-sized clothing around them. Roz and I
were soon busy showing Merry swimsuits and asking him to help us choose ones that he and his
fellow hobbits would like. Eventually, we had set aside a green one with soccer balls on it for Merry,
a yellow one with horses and cowboys on it for Sam, a red on with fruits on it for Pippin, and a blue
one with treasure chests and gold coins on it for Frodo.
"Whew!" Roz passed a hand over her forehead. " That took forever!"
Merry was holding four swimsuits, pround that he'd helped to pick them out. The grin on my face
faded as I realized something, and I gripped Roz's arm.
"Roz? Where're Legolas and Elrond?"
Roz looked around.
" I don't know.... but they couldn't have gone too far."
" You take Merry and go look in Toys and Electronics. I'll go check Sporting Goods and Books."
" Ready..... break!"
I ran towards the Sporting Goods section and went straight for the hunting section. If Legolas was
anywhere, he'd be here. But, to my great surprise, he wasn't there. Muttering to myself, I quickly
made my way to the Books section. I turned the corner and to my reilief, Elrond was harmlessly
chatting with someone. I walked a couple of aisles down to where he was and the woman he was
talking to spun around.
"Oh hi sweetie! Look who's here! Mr. Esiw! (A/N: Esiw is wise backwards!) What are you doing
here?"
My jaw dropped in disbelief. Of all the in K-Mart Elrond had to run into my mom. Over my mom's
shoulder, Elrond flashed me a triumphant smile and I wanted to knock his teeth out. Instead I glared
at him. My mom was still waiting for my answer.
" Oh, uh, Roz and I are on our way to the beach and stopped here for some, uh..."
I looked around and grabbed a rubber ducky that someone had left on a shelf.
" For a rubber ducky." I finished quickly. I know it was lame and apparantly even Elrond did,
because he started laughing with my mom.
" Oh.oh.okay, honey! Is George with you?"
" No, hewanted to stay home. But I have to go now." I looked pointedly at Elrond, hoping he'd
catch my drift, but he just stared back at me with an "Oh,yeah?" look in his eyes.
"Lee, hon, you should talk to Mr.Esiw. He seems to be quite the expert on that Lord of the Rings
stuff."
"I'm sure he is." I answered drily. " Now I really have to go."
Elrond looked at me again. (A/n: Pretend this convo's in Elvish. I don't know enough of the
language to actually write it all like that, so use your imagnations, k? I'll let ya know when it's in
English again.)
"Like I'm going to come! No one even wants me there, anyways. I like your mom better than
Gandalf."
" Are you kidding me? You're staying here just because you're mad at Gandlaf? You are the most
immature 5,000 year old Elf I've ever known! "
" I'm the only 5,000 year old Elf you've ever known!"
" Yeah, well Legolas is more mature than you."
He cocked an eyebrow and looked over my shoulder.
"Really?"
I turned around to see Roz standing there with Legolas who was playing with an action figure of
himself. Roz had convieniently hidden Merry behind he and Legolas.
(A/N: Back in English!)
"Wow, what language was that?" asked my mom.
" Elvish." Elrond and I said in unison. I glared at him.
" Hey Mrs. G." Roz looked nervously from me to Elrond to my mom to Legolas.
" Hi, Roselyn. Who's your friend?"
" This is uh..... Larry, yeah, we're friends from school."
Legolas perked up. Luckily he had enough sense to play along.
"Hello Mrs.G." He shook Mom's hand.
" Well, we'd better be going now." I said.
" Yes, I'd better get going,too." said Elrond.
I sighed in relief. Elrond looked at me and then dipped my mom and kissed her on the lips. Roz
dragged me to the Mens swimsuit section before I could throttle him. Elrond met us there.
All the swimsuits were picked out before long, including a pink Speedo for Gimli form Legolas
as payback from Gimli having threatened Legolas with scissors earlier.
As we walked up to the cashier, I noticed that Elrond had a red mark on his face, but
decided to yell at him in the car. We got out of K-Mart only having to pay $5 for all the swimsuits
because the cashier ahd been to busy staring at Legolas to ringus up right.
As soon as everyone was back in the car, I let loose.
" What were you DOING?!"
The car went silent.
" Don't EVER put the moves on my mom again! If you like her, that's one thing, but to spite me?
That's just rude! And you were very disrespectful to my mother!"
" I do like her, but you're right. I probably shouldn't have done that. She smacked me."
The whole car erupted with laughter and Roz started up the car. Finally, we were getting to the beach!
