A/N: I apologize for all of the little typos that seem to slip through. My computer's spell-check doesn't wan tot pick them up; and to top it off I can't spell or type, so bear with me. Eventually I'll write a chapter without typos, but until that day comes forth I must plow on. Oh! And thank you to all of my reviewers, I really appreciate the feed back.
The walk up to the pass of Caradhras was difficult for the hobbits and Gimili; as the snow was about chest deep for them. The rest of the Fellowship had little to no problems. Legolas simply walked across the top of the snow. Boromir, Aragorn, and Gandalf just plowed right through the snow and Aallieah followed.
Since the Fellowship had reached the snow line no one had spoken, and that was at least a couple of hours before. Everyone was concentrating on not sliding down the side of the mountain. Feeling it was her duty to lighten the mood a little, Aallieah flew up behind Legolas. She then fluttered above the snow mimicking his walk, gestures, and other body language foolishly. When the hobbits saw this the burst into laughter. When all Legolas did was look at them, Pippin decided he should enlighten him to what was going on.
"Look behind you!" he sputtered.
At this Legolas whirled around and saw what Aallieah was doing he too burst into laughter. This caused Aallieah to start giggling herself, but unfortunately she also lost her concentration and plummeted onto the snow. All that was sticking out was her head; this got the entire Fellowship howling.
"Help, I think I'm stuck!"
When no one made a move to help her, she started struggling. All this accomplished was making her sink in farther.
"This is no longer funny. Get me out of here!"
Finally Aragorn helped her pull herself out of the snow, which was no easy task as she was stuck in there quite tightly. At last with both Aragorn's and Boromir's help she was freed form her icy confinement. But she then had to spend the next ten minutes digging snow out of her clothing. This caused for more laughing for all it accomplished was packing more down.
"Fine! I give up, it will melt anyway."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
As it grew later everyone began to feel to toll that the day was taking on them, even Legolas was feeling tired. Pippin decided he had had enough; he sat down right in front of Merry. Merry then ran into Pippin.
"Pip, what was that for? You have to be more consid—"
While he was stopped Sam then ran into Merry's back.
"Why did we stop? That wasn't very nice of you there Mer—"
Frodo then promptly fell into Sam's back; it would have been quite funny if Frodo then wouldn't have started to slid down the hill. Luckily Aragorn was standing below him and stopped his fall. It was then that Frodo noticed he was missing the ring.
"Such a little thing, yet it causes so much trouble."
Frodo looked up and saw that Boromir was holding the ring and starting at it in almost a trance.
"Boromir! Give the ring to Fordo," Aragorn commanded.
Boromir just looked at him blankly, then his eyes came back into focus. He walked over to Fordo and gave him the ring. "Here Fordo, it is no care to me." He then ruffled his hair, gave him a stiff smile and started back up the mountain.
Aragorn released his grip on his sword, "Frodo, be careful," he warned.

As the Fellowship continued they all noticed that the wind had started to pick up. And before they knew it they were in a full-fledged blizzard.
"Gandalf," Aallieah called. When she finally caught up to him she said, "I shall try to make it above the blizzard, maybe there is a way out we do not know." She then took off her cloak and gave it to Gandalf.
"But you shall need this," he argued.
"Nay, I cannot use it up there. It will hinder me more than not. Keep it until my return," she replied.
With that she gave him a small smile, walked over to the edge of the cliff and leapt into thin air. Just as Gandlaf thought she might have fallen to her death, he saw her flying off into the distance; and it looked like she was struggling mightily.
"We shall await her return form here," Gandalf announced. "And let us pray she is alright."
A/N: Sorry about the short chapter there. But I got tired of typing, so until next time!
