Chapter 10: Identity Crisis
I woke up the next morning with a grin still plastered to my face. I hopped out of bed, did a little jig, and went to the bathroom to shower. Half an hour later ( hey, it takes a long time to wrestle with curly hair!) I walked downstairs, dressed in jeans and a T-shirt, to find a note from my mom saying that she'd left for work and would be back later that night.
Just then the phone rang. I picked it up. "Hello?" "Lee? It's Roz. We have a problem and have to come over now. Is your mom gone?" she said panicky. "Yeah, what's wrong?" I asked. "I'm leaving now, I'll tell you when we get there, bye." She hung up.
I paced the kitchen worriedly. What could possibly have gone wrong over night? George, Legolas, and the Hobbits came down the stairs. I glanced at Legolas and smiled slightly. His cheeks tinged pink and he did the same. Then my face turned serious. " Roz and the others are coming over. She said there's a problem." I began pacing again until Legolas reached out and grabbed my shoulders. " Whatever may be wrong, I'm sure we can handle it. Relax." He looked into my eyes and my heart melted. " Okay." I said. "Good." He smiled and kissed me lightly on the cheek causing me to blush yet again. George, Pippin, and Merry started to laugh while Frodo and Sam just smiled as though they'd expected this to happen all along.
The doorbell rang and worry returned to my face. I raced to get the door, but Roz burst in before I could open it. She was followed by Gandalf ( playing GameBoy as usual), Aragorn looking somewhat upset, Elrond ( his eyebrows drawn together worriedly), Gimli ( looking..well...like Gimli), and Harry who looked amused. Roz had taken over my pacing job and was muttering to herself. "Roz...where's Borimir?" I asked cautiously. "I don't know! That's the problem! I went to get breakfast this morning and he wasn't on the couch!" " Wait. You made him sleep on the couch." " Well where else was he supposed to sleep? My bed was taken by Elrond, me and Aragorn had either side of the floor, and the others were in Harry's room!" "Oh boy. Do you have any idea where he might have gone?" We made our way into the kitchen. "He left this." said Roz pulling out a piece of paper from her pocket. I grabbed it and read:
Dear Roselyn who loves Elves, Dwarves, dirty humans, and wizrds, but not me, I'm not a wizard or a Dwarf so I'm not welcome in Harry's room and I'm not a dirty human or an ancient Elf, so apparantly I'm not welcome in your room either. Obviously since I'm not wanted anywhere, I am leaving. I need to fond somewhere to become dirty, a Dwarf, a wizard, or an Elf so that you'll all want me around and I think I know just the place. If you ever want to see me again, then you'll come and find me.
- Borimir the Unwanted
I stared at the letter in disbelief. " I don't believe this! He's having an identity crisis!" I turned to the Fellowship. " Okay guys, we need your help." "Aragorn, how did you get dirty?" asked Roz. " By travelling!" he answered digruntled. "I can't help on an empty stomach!" moaned Pippin. I rushed around handing out fruit while questioning the Fellowship as to where they thought Borimir was likely to go. No one seemed to be able to figure out where to get dirty, or become and Elf, wizard, or Dwarf. "Leela, dear, you're pacing again." I stopped and looked quizzically at Legolas. Did he just cal me 'dear'? He smiled at me and I saw Roz's jaw drop out of the corner of my eye. "Have you kissed her?" she asked Legolas. " Twice!" chorused Pippin and George. Both me and Legolas turned red. " How do you guys know he kissed me last night?" I asked. George grinned. " We have our ways!" Roz crossed her arms. " Hey! How come Lee's guy likes her but you don't like me?"She turned to Elrond who just shrugged and said, " I think you're nice." "Apparantly not nice enough to do this!" Roz walked over to Elrond and kissed him hard on the lips. It was my turn for my jaw to be affected by the forces of gravity. I started laughing along with Harry and George. "Wow, I bet that hasn't happened to you in about 3,000 years, Elly!" Gandalf said, actually looking up from the GameBoy. Elrond blushed and Roz sat back down smiling defiantly. "Aren't we forgetting about Borimir?" asked Harry. " Oh. Right. Him." I racked my brain. Where could we find wizards and Dwarfs? My eyes wandered to the refrigerator and landed on a magnet, a particular magnet. "That's it!" I jumped up. "What's it?" asked Roz. " Where can we find Dwarfs and wizards?" I asked excitedly. " Isn't that what we've been trying to figure out ever since we got here?"said Roz. "We're going to Disney World!" I announced.
