After about 20 minutes of driving and listening to the Fellowship's off-key singing ( and several
exclamations of " Crap! I died again!" from Gandalf) Roz pulled into a parking space at the beach.
After Elrond was smacked by my mom, I knew he probably wouldn't try anything like that again, so I
wasn't as angry at him as before. As we all got out of the car and crowded around the trunk to dole
out swimsuits, I noticed lots of people staring at us and the Fellowship stared back. A woman wearing
a yellow bikini walked up to Legolas.
" Hey there." she said seductively.
Legolas looked at her like she was nuts.
" Hello." he answered uncertainly.
Roz nudged me. " If you don't go tell her off, I will."
" I want to see his reaction. If it gets bad, I'll do something about it."
The woman looked Legoals over. She twirled her hair. " So what brings you here, cutie?"
Legolas looked horrified as the woman began to move closer to Legolas. She had him cornered
against the car. I decided to intervene. I marched in between the two and faced the woman.
" Listen Barbie, back off okay?"
She looked disgruntled but laughed.
" Kid, he's way out of your league."
Now it was my turn to laugh.
" You- you- you think I like him?"
" Well, like, duh."
Roz decided to pipe up. " She thinks he's hot. Now back off or you'll get a kiss from caveman over
there." She jabbed a thumb in Gimli's direction. The woman screamed and ran off. Legolas looked
at me. " I am a bit hot." He removed his cloak. I looked at Roz and cracked up.
Soon enough everyone came out of the bathrooms with swimsuits on. Gimli wasn't too
thrilled with his Speedo and after scaring several people away with his appearance, Legolas finally
let him change into Gandalf's swimsuit since Gandalf wouldn't part with his robes ( or the GameBoy
for that matter).
" And now, we hit the waves!" I declared.
" So this is what the other side of the Sea looks like." Legolas murmmered.
" Not really." Elrond deadpanned. " Surf's up!"
He dove into the waves.
" Chicken Fight!" I called.
After explaining the game, I climbed aboard Legolas's shoulders. Roz hopped on Elrond's, Pip
jumped on Aragorn, and Borimir carried Merry. Frodo was busy teaching Sam how to swim,
Gandalf was playing GameBoy on the beach, and no one could carry Gimli. The Chicken Fights
went on for awhile. Pippin and Aragorn won three times, Merry and Borimir won twice, Roz and
Elrondwon once, and Legolas and I won once. See, Roz and I didn't have the heart to knock the
hobbits down. At least, I didn't. Roz may have just been in La-La-Land on Elrond's shoulders.
Eventually we were exhausted and decided to join Gandalf on the beach for lunch. Sam was
incredibly proud about learning how to swim and Gandalf told us of his Kirby adventures(he'd
reached level 8). Everyone ate happily. My mom, by the way, would be coming home to a pretty
much foodless house. Pippin stood up with a pained expression on his face.
"What's wrong Pippin?" asked Aragorn.
Pippin blushed and jumped up and down.
" Well?" prompted Borimir," What is it?"
" I-I have sand in my pants and it itches!'
" You mean to say I'm not the only one?" asked Sam.
I laughed. "Follow me, guys." I led them to the outdoor rinsing shower near the road and
bathrooms. By then it was well into the afternoon and we decided to go home.
" You know, Lee, it might be easier I take a few of them to my house. Less suspicious, you
know?" Roz said.
" Yeah, I guess you're right." I looked over my shoulder at the Fellowship. The hobbits were all
asleep.
" Hey guys?" I said.
" Huh?" replied Aragorn.
" Who wants to stay at Roz's house? You can't all stay at my house or my mom might get suspicious.
Elrond you definantly can't stay at my house."
" I know." he replied degectedly.
Aragorn, Borimir, and Gandalf all volunteered to go with Elrond.
" One more of you has to go." I said.
" Fine." grumbled Gimli, " I will."

About ten minutes later, we arrived at my house. I let out a sigh of relief when I saw that
Mom's van wasn't in the driveway. We'd be able to get in without any questions. Sam, Frodo,
Merry, Pippin, Legolas, and I got out of Roz's car and she drove off. George popped his head
out of his window as I turned the doorhandle of the house.
" Lee! No! Mom's-"
We stepped inside and the door clanged shut.
" Home." ended George.
It was too late. My mom was standing in front of us.
" Uh- hi......Mom. I thought you were still out? Where's the van?"
" In the garage."
My mom looked at my strange house guests in a bewildered and stern manner.
" Explain yourself and your guests, please."
I gulped. What could I say?
