Crime Scene Three: Sleeping Beauty Syndrome.
Act One: True Love's Kiss.
"Go on, it is the only way." Gandalf urged the reluctant Dwarf forward.
Behind them, the other members of the fellowship were biting their knuckles to stop the laughter. Each knew what was going on, but thought that it would be best for their less-worldly friend to learn this on his own. When the snickers started to get vocal again, Gandalf turned on them with a quelling glare. This only served to make them burst out laughing.
At the disruption, Gimli turned back, only to be pushed forward again by the wizard. "Are you sure this will work?"
"Yes, now go!"
Shrugging, Gimli moved the rest of the way to settle beside the sleeping beautiful Human maiden. Wiping his lips to remove the facial hair, he bent down and planted a big wet one on her lips. She awoke and started to struggle, but he held her tight to him. When he released her lips, he looked her in the eyes. "You are now mine, sweet one!"
Her screams of terror were silenced as she stuck her own dagger in her heart, repeatedly.
With a sigh of disgust, he tossed the body aside and turned on the rolling fellowship. "You knew!"
They could only laugh as tears of laughter ran down their cheeks. Huffing his anger, he walked away further down the path muttering to himself about the kiss of true love. "One kiss, he says. One kiss to awaken her, and the moment she lays eyes upon you she is in love. Bah, love indeed!"
End Act One.
