Epilogue:

"Legolas, what are you doing? Are you writing something?"

Legolas looked up guiltily at Gimli, who had just returned from hunting game.

"No, no, I wasn't." Legolas quickly put the sheet of paper behind his back.

Gimli laughed and grabbed for the paper. "Legolas, I have never seen you embarrassed about anything in your life. Come now, what have you written?"

Gimli snatched the paper away from Legolas, who covered his eyes. After skimming a few lines, Gimli looked confusedly at Legolas.

"Legolas, what does any of this mean? A half-mermaid girl that you marry? You give her the One Ring? Her parents are ELROND and GALADRIEL? Have you lost your senses?"

Legolas refused to look up at Gimli. "I just wanted to try out writing a story. You see there was this book I read where I imagined the most beautiful girl. I though maybe I could write a story with both of us in it and. Never mind, it's a bad story."

Gimli was trying hard not to laugh at his elvish friend. "Ah, there, there, Legolas. It wasn't too bad...for a first try. But I don't think a half-mermaid girl would act like that. And I didn't know your spelling was quite that bad."

As Gimli continued his list of story improvements, Legolas just sighed in relief that he didn't know about the 450 other stories he had written about himself and a girl named Mary Sue. She was just so...HOT!

The end.
