Chapter Title: Sam Jealous
Original Chapter Title: Sam Jealous
After stories had been exchanged and explanations given, Frodo, Samwise, and Gollum settled in for a good day's rest. Lauri and Elle were wide awake so they offered to take the entire watch because they really need their rest.
"Don't you worry Sam. We'll keep awake." Lauri assured him.
"Thank you Ms. Laurëaelen." Sam replied putting his head down. "Gollum swaggered off somewhere, you don't have worry about him too much."
"We will anyway. Good night Sam." Lauri said urging him to sleep.
"Good night miss." Sam said and in an instant, he was asleep.
"They must really be tired." Elanor said stroking Frodo's head because he was sleeping on her lap.
"You shouldn't do that Elle, you'll wake him up."
"I won't wake him up, he's fast asleep."
"Oh really?"
"Of course." Elanor replied. She bent down and whispered several things in his ear. Slowly his lips curled into a smile and he let out a sigh. "He's already somewhat awake."
"You are bad."
"And don't you know it." Elanor chuckled.

As the sun began to set, the ring bear awoke and began to start packing up their camp.
"Are you sure you want to come with us for awhile?" he asked anxiously.
"Of course. We can travel all night to get us used to your cycle. It won't be that bad." Elanor assured him. At that statement Sam sighed heavily and sulked off towards the water.
"Is he alright?" Lauri asked Frodo.
"Of course, he's Sam. He always hates collecting water."
"I had better get some too." Elanor said and she rushed down to the water. As she came closer she heard Sam muttering to himself. Deciding not to be seen of heard she rushed to find a hiding place to hear what he was saying.
"Why does Ms. Elanor get all of the attention? Why does Mr. Frodo like her so? I'm Mr. Frodo's friend and he picked me to travel with him to Mordor, not her. And yet she still pursues him and he drops everything for her. He's risking all of Middle Earth just to be with her. Mr. Frodo should be paying attention to me, not Elanor. I bet she's an agent of the Dark Lord. She was sent here to thwart our mission. But if I warn Mr. Frodo , he won't believe me. He'd rather see Samwise Gamgee be hurt than Elanor Took. What is wrong with him? It must be the ring. Elanor must be after the ring." he ranted. After that statement Elanor stepped out of her hiding place.
"I am not after the ring, Sam." She whispered coming up from behind him.
"Uh, Ms. Elanor, would you like me to fill those canteens for you?" Sam tried to cover.
"Sam. I heard everything. How could you think I would ever hurt Frodo?" She said with tears starting to fall from her face.
"I'm sorry, it's just that he give you all of his attention and he forgets his friends." Sam said lowering his head.
"Sam, it's called love." She whispered again to keep from screaming it out. "I'm not an agent from the Dark Lord, I don't want the ring, and I don't mean to make you feel left out. I've never met anyone like Frodo. He can take the time to love all of us, still carry that ring, and remain unaffected to its power. Sam, I missed him, I wanted to see if he was all right. I love Frodo, I love him with all of my heart. I wouldn't want to see him get hurt anymore than you do." She said grabbing his shoulders gently.
"I'm sorry." Sam began. "I guess I just didn't understand."
"It's alright, misunderstandings happen. Frodo is your best friend just like Lauri is mine. I'm glad you're going with him to Mordor. He needs a friend like you with him." After she said that they hugged.
"I'm so sorry." He said, as a tear began to form.
"It's alright Sam. We know what we must do know. We have to help him."
"I promised never to leave his side."
"And you must, for I cannot."
"Let us get back, Elanor. They will be expecting us." Samwise said.
"Naturally." She retorted following right next to him.
A.N.: ELLE: I 'd like to say a little something to all thoes who stopped reading the fic because they thought it was a Mary-Sue. (yes I know they'll never read this message) "HA! In ur face!" I would never take Sam's place. I believe their relationship is the sweetest and most important thing in the entire series!
LAURI: :D Hey all! Yay! Fanfiction.net is working again! We can all quit freaking out over it now! AND my Internet is fixed, up and running! I also made a my audition tape for DODDS Europe Honor Choir! Wish me luck all! Well, I'll try to start posting again regularly, but between school, homework, rehearsals for the musical, and everything else It's kinda hard! Please R/R!!!!
