The Two Survivors

A/N to Anyone but Mary Sue:- I'm so glad you think that my friend and I are Mary Sues, it really makes me happy to learn that we busted our arses off writing this so that people could call us typical, what would you do when confronted with a king? What would you do/say/think if a fit knight saved you, especially if you LIKED him. Thank you for giving me those site addresses and we had a look at them, but I'm not changing the story. I have only one thing to say : Fuck. You

PS that test at http://alswaiter.codedaemon.com/LOTR/lotrlt.htm, we only got 18 marks i.e- Borderline Mary Sue.

Outside , Anna and Rhys broke the kiss.

"Aren't you supposed to court me first?" Anna grinned

"Oops, too late" answered Rhys "You want me to court you anyway?" Anna smiled,

"I've never been courted before" She admitted thoughtfully, "Sounds cool, all medieval and stuff"

"Prepare for courtship then my lady" Rhys said, standing up and offering her his hand. Anna laughed "I start tomorrow, for we need rest, it has been an interesting day" Said Rhys. And with that, he lead Anna towards the house.

Inside, Anna looked in awe at her surroundings, the hall was of black and white marble, large oak doors leading off everywhere. White marble stairs swept off in a spiral to her left, that was where Rhys was standing now

"All the rooms are up here my lady" he smiled, gesturing in a vaguely game show host-ish manner towards the hall way above them. Anna laughed and began the climb up the stairs, suddenly exhausted.

At the top of the stairs, she heard laughter coming from one of the rooms, looking in curiously, she saw Louise cross-legged on the bed, looking down at Legolas, who was sprawled out on his stomach on the floor, propped up on his arms.

"So he said 'I see plenty of acne, but no warts'" this was followed by another laugh and a comment

"I bet she hated that, it's a wonder she managed to keep her mouth shut"

"It's a wonder whenever Anna manages to keep her mouth shut" Louise replied, followed by more laughter. Closing the door, Anna laughed silently. She supposed the king wasn't too bad. Seeing him sprawled out on the floor, it was hard to remember that he WAS king. He looked too young, he only appeared to be 23 years old. Making a mental note to ask him later, she took the room next door and fell asleep on the huge, four post bed in there.

"And then she-" the sentence was broken when Louise gave a tremendous yawn and blinked sleepily, causing Legolas to laugh again "And.. she.. I forgot, sorry king Legolas, I'm a little sleepy" Legolas smiled warmly

"Sleep then, I'll leave you, until tomorrow Louise, good night and happy dreaming."

"Guh" said Louise, and fell heavily asleep fully clothed on top of the covers. Smiling again, Legolas walked silently out of the room. Standing at the top of the stairs, he looked around to check that nobody was watching, before using the curving banister to slide down to the ground floor. He met with Rhys in the kitchen.

"Hi" He said

"Hello King Legolas, by your dialect, it would seem that the two minxes are beginning to wear off on you" Legolas laughed "I haven't heard you laugh since you became king Legolas, is it so terrible?"

"Yes" answered Legolas "It is at times terrible and at times terribly boring. All I am required to do is sit on my throne all day and pass judgement on poor rascals who merely try and feed their families. Never have I so craved adventure." Rhys looked at him sympathetically

"I suppose time alone means that you can reflect on things though, have you not always preferred your own thoughts for company?"

"But what do I have to reflect on, Rhys, but sadness and death. All day long I remember the deaths of those dearest to me, my father, my mother, Borromir, all my trusted friends, family and followers, it is horrible. And what time do I have to see friends? I haven't seen you in over a year, Gandalf is always with the Hobbits, the Hobbits never leave the Shire, Gimli would take a millennium for his little legs to carry him to me, Aragorn is busy with kingly duties in Gondor. I have no one." Rhys could see that this subject was causing his king some aggravation, so he changed it

"What of the girls, Legolas? How do you think they came by Middle Earth? I assume you have heard their story?"

"Yes" Legolas replied thoughtfully "Louise told me they just woke up and were here, Anna told me she was poked awake by, and I quote, ' A SPEAR!!!!' but it seems neither knows how they got here at all. Did either tell you where they were from in the first place?"

"I asked, Anna told me; "Maidstone, Kent, England, Great Britain, Europe, Earth, The Solar System, The Milky Way, The Universe." Legolas looked confused and laughed again, shaking his head as he wondered if the girl ever said anything that made sense. The two elves talked way into the night before each retired to their own room for a few hours of sleep.

Next morning at around 7 A.M Louise's peaceful slumber was interrupted by a lump jumping on her bed. Opening her eyes groggily she saw Anna staring at her with wide eyes.

"So what happened last night?" She asked expectantly. Louise blushed

"Nothing" She denied "we talked, we laughed, the end" Anna raised her eyebrows "I SWEAR we did nothing! I didn't even want to, I doubt he did either!" Anna grinned and rolled her eyes.

Legolas and Rhys were in the huge, oak panelled dining room chatting when they heard the two girls mock fighting over something, peals of laughter echoing through the house. Sneaking upstairs they heard

"Alright, I admit he's fit, but he's KING! Hello? Wake up, he can have anyone he wants, I'm not interested anyway, besides, what about you and that Rice guy? Huh? You were looking pretty cosy"

"It's Rhys actually R. E. E. S. E if you want it phonetically" corrected Anna. Not admitting or denying anything.

"Talking about us, ladies?" asked Legolas, striding confidently into the room followed by Rhys.

"Yup" beamed Anna as Louise went red. Noticing her friends discomfort she reluctantly changed the subject. "So how are we gonna get home?" There was silence in the room, the subject of going home was a touchy one. They had only been there for a day and already they had made two friends.

Legolas looked over at the two girls, barely believing that they wanted to go home already. He was happy when they were around, always laughing, they made him forget his duties of king, which could have been a bad thing, he supposed, but he felt light and free. They were already brilliant friends after just one day. Taking a deep breath he uttered the sentence he was sure he would regret saying someday

"Maybe you should go back to the strange house you appeared in"

"It was hardly a house, Legolas, it was just my room. But yeah, that's a good idea" Anna said regretfully. And so they walked together through the woods until they came to the room. Walking through the door, Anna sighed and lay on the bed, Louise lay down on the floor and they both closed their eyes, "Here goes nothing, God, do your stuff" Anna whispered as they waited.
