Lee, Roz, Harry, and George?
A/N: Thanks a bunch to everyone who's been reviewing this! I have the next two chapters typed, it's all a matter of typing and posting!
Chapter 9: Truth or Dare
My mom tapped her foot impatiently. " Well?" " I-uh-um" I stammered nervously and looked at Legolas. " You remember Larry, right? Roz introduced you at K-Mart." " Yes..." she responded suspiciously, " Who are the other four?" " Um...." I thought fast. " Mark, Pip, Frank, and Sam." Then, noticing my mother staring at their odd appearances, I went on to explain that. " We're um... practicing for the school play." " School's over Leela." " Right... it's for the youth group I joined." I fibbed. I'd never been in a youth group, but my mom had been hounding me to " get involved in my community" for awhile now, so I figured it was worth a shot. " You actually joined?" she said happily. " Uh...yeah!" I glued a very fake smile to my face. " How wonderful!" my mom smiled and then her voice got serious again. " But Lee, next time let me know before you have your friends over! And I need to see you in the kitchen for a moment." " Okay." I said to my mom, relieved that she'd bought the whole thing. " Just a sec. George! " I called. My brother appeared at the top of the stairs. " Yeah?" He gave me an 'I tried to warn you' look. " George, can you show Larry, Pip, Mark, Frank, and Sam up to my room where we'll be working on the play? Mom wants to talk to me." I gave him a ' Do it or you're dead meat.' look and he smirked. The hobbits and Elf followed George upstairs while I met my mom in the kitchen. " What is it?" I asked, hoping that she hadn't figured out my lie. " Leela, I need you to be brutally honest with me and tell me what's going on." My mom folded her ams and looked at me expectantly. My knees went weak and my mind raced. " Holy crap!" I thought, " What can I tell her!?" " The truth about what. Mom?" I squeaked. " You know very well about what." "No, I don't!" " I'm talking about this." My mom took a piece of paper out of an envelope on the counter and held it in front of my face. I took the paper and looked it over, relieved that she hadn't figured out that my house guests weren't really from around here. " So what do you have to say for yourself?" my mom asked. I looked up at her and shook my head, bewildered by the extensive phone bill filled with numbers I didn't recognize. " I don't know." " Who are all these people you've been calling?" I was speechless. " Well?" my mom prompted. " I don't know! Did you try asking-" " George already said he deosn't know either! Until I find out , let George know that you're both grounded." " What?! Till when?!" I asked desperately. " Until I find out who made $80 worth of what looks like prank calls. Now go, your friends are waiting."
I marched upstairs angry and confused. "GEORGE!!!" George came out of his room. " What?" " We're grounded until you fess up to the prank calls!" I growled. " What makes you think that I did them?" he asked. " Well I didn't!" " Neither did I! I bet your weird friends did it!" " They're not-" I gasped. Wait a second. Hadn't Pippin asked about phones? Without another word, I raced to my room.
Opening the door revealed Legolas to be studying some arrows I'd made out of pipe cleaners, yarn, and feathers(A/N: Yes, I've done this!), Merry and Pippin looking at my LotR trading cards, Sam studying a cookbook, and Frodo looking at my replica of The One Ring on a chain. They all looked up at my arrival. " These are some very odd, yet well crafted arrows, Leela!" said Legolas. I grinned. He'd complimented ME! " Thanks!" I turned to Merry and Pippin and my expression turned to one of suspicion. " Did you guys use my phone the other night?" Pippin perked up. " Yes! People picked up and talked through it and me and Merry asked them where thier mushrooms were and then-" Merry clapped a hand over Pippin's mouth. " Pip!" " Great." I flopped onto my bed. " What's great?" asked Sam. " Now because Merry and Pippin made prank calls I'm in trouble." " Sorry." chorused the two guilty hobbits. " It's alright. It's worth it to have you guys here." I smiled. Just then, my brother burst into my room grinning. " Well, Lee, guess you're in trouble...but how about a game to cheer you up?" " Gee thanks, such as?" I asked sarcastically. George grinned wickedly. " Truth or Dare!" Since the hobbits and Elf seemed eager to learn how to play, I reluctantly agreed to do so. We all sat down in a circle on my bedroom floor. George glanced around my room and his eyes landed on the wall next to my bed that was partially covered with LotR pictures. Near the wall was my Legolas action figure. " Lee, Truth or Dare?" George asked me. " Truth." I replied cautiously. He smiled. " What do you think of Legolas?" My eyes grew wide. How could he ask me this with Legolas himself sitting across from me?! " Well...I uh....I..." I stammered. My heart was pounding and then gave a flutter when Legolas flashed me a nervous grin as though he was afraid of what my opinion would be. I smiled back and took a deep breath. " I think that Legolas is very smart...and...and talented in archery....and VERY good looking." I finished. I snuck a glance at Legolas and noticed that his cheeks were tinged with pink. " Ah, the truth at last!" George smiled smugly. " George, Truth or Dare!" I asked somewhat vengefully. " Dare." " Call Rhonda ( a girl he'd liked for a long time) and tell her you like her." All color drained from George's face, but he quickly recovered, grabbed the phone, and dialed Rhonda's number. When she picked up, he quickly muttered, " Hi, Rhonda, I like you." and hung up. " Pippin Truth or Dare." " Dare." " Sing a drinking song and dance around." We all stared. " What? I can't think of a good one for him!" George explained. Pippin did his dare, making us all laugh. " Legolas Truth or Dare?" " Dare." " Kiss Leela!" Pip grinned. The room went silent. " I can't." Legolas muttered and blushed furiously. " You have to, it's the Dare." said Sam knowingly. " Fine." He leaned over towards me and my heart quickened. I didn't want him to kiss me! Not unless he wanted to, which he obviously didn't, so I stood up. My eyes to the ground, I muttered " I gotta go tell my mom about the prank calls." and waked away. I found my mom in the kitchen and told her I'd made the calls, the result being my allowance being taken away until the bill was paid off. " Leela why are your cheeks pink? Are you feeling okay? Did something happen?" my mom asked, concerned. " No, Mom, the guys went home. I'm going to bed, good-night." I hugged my mom and went upstairs. I opened the door to my room. No one was in there. I figured George'd probably taken them up to the attic or something. I floped onto my bed. Wait till Roz hears I turned down a kiss form Legolas! I thought and laughed inwardly, a little sorry that I'd turned it down. I sat up and saw Legolas standing a bit uncomfortably in my doorway. " Hi," I said, " Look, I didin't mean to hurt your feelings or anything. I just-" Legolas strode over to my bed and promptly kissed me softly on the lips. I was taken aback and must've turned about three shades of red. Legolas just smiled. " I believe I owed you that kiss." he said quietly and walked out of my room. I closed the door, got into my pajamas, hopped into bed, and rejoiced silently, my face breaking into a grin.
