Sorry for the delay! Now you may find out what happens to Ditto, Tiny and
Bill.
Magic Spells and Elf Kisses
The fellowship and the cowgirls found themselves walking along the bank of a very ugly looking river. I knew I would have to say goodbye to Tiny soon and was just getting choked up when Gimli began to squawk about the walls. Cindil made funny faces and noises to copy him and I couldn't control my laughter. We finally stopped and Gandalf found the doors we were looking for. Cindil and I dismounted and hugged our horses. Ditto nuzzled Cindil's neck and Tiny whickered softly in me ear. The tears came quickly, sobs wracking our bodies in great waves. Sam came over and hugged us and Cindil and I latched onto him for support. Legolas watched the scene; sadness welled up in him. A tear appeared and trickled down his cheek as he turned to Gandalf to speak but his words were taken from him. " You wish not to see them like this and want to know how to help them?" asked the wizard, turning toward the elf. Legolas nodded," Their sorrow is great and I feel every measure of it." " You're sensitive to their feelings, Legolas, but do not despair. I have a plan." Gandalf whispered into the elf's ear and Legolas' eyes lit up as the wizard cast his spell over the three horses. Then, he walked forward and spoke to Ditto, who listened politely. Aragorn grabbed me and Legolas held Cindil as Gandalf tied Tiny's reins and Bill's lead to Ditto's saddle. With a toss of his head and a snort, Ditto turned the three of them around and plunged away into the darkness. I could hear Cindil and myself screaming and crying, fighting to get free of our captors. When we could no longer hear the hoof beats of our beloved pets, Cindil and I slowed our fussing. Aragorn dumped me onto the muddy ground next to Legolas and I felt a strong arm wrap around my waist. I was pulled into a sitting position and found myself nuzzling Legolas' neck. He smelled of forest and wild flowers, leaving a calming feeling in the air around us. He kissed Cindil and I each on the forehead and began to sing softly in Elvish. I whimpered and cuddled closer to the warm elf holding me in an affectionate embrace. In the distance, I could hear Gandalf trying to figure out the password, and finally gave up. I looked over at Cindil and spoke softly," You remember what happened in the movie at this point?" Her eyes grew big and she nodded. We struggled forward and got out of Legolas' iron grip. We ran forward and shouted " Mellon!" at the same time, cutting off Frodo. The large, stone doors swung open and everyone rushed inside. " I didn't know you knew Elvish!" came Frodo's voice from behind us. " Just a little," said Cindil. All of a sudden, Gimli began squawking about his cousin Balin. I watched as Cindil, who had had enough, turned towards the dwarf and shout," Listen, NO ONE CARES! YOUR COUSIN, HE'S DEAD!! GOT that? DEAD!! Now, SHUT UP!!" With a sigh, she finished. Everyone looked around and gaped at the horrendous sight. Dead dwarfs everywhere. "Goblins!" was all Legolas said, pulling an arrow. Suddenly from behind, Frodo was grabbed around the ankle and hoisted into the air. I looked at Cindil and she nodded. We both whipped out our ropes and made to lasso Frodo. We both tossed, mine landed around his waist; Cindil's around his wrist. We pulled hard and, with help from Legolas and Aragorn, got Frodo free. Everyone rushed inside the mines as the creatures destroyed our exit. The last thing I saw was Legolas' hand grabbing at my waist and then there was only darkness and the feel of the elf's breath on my nape. (R&R Pleaz!)
