V. Dinner and More Introductions
Elrond urgently called for an elf maid to take the visitors to their rooms, and the Hobbits to see their friend Frodo Baggins. They went down many corridors, getting strange stares from just about everyone who saw them. It made them feel awkward, but the she-elf said she would bring them new clothes and they would fit right in. She led them down another corridor, with doors along the left side, and on the right beautifully carved wooden columns which were open and led to gardens and breathtaking waterfalls.
She led them each into seperate rooms, first Jenny, then Jackie, then Andrea's room, and last Vince's. She informed them that a celebration feast would take place that night for the recovery of Frodo Baggins, who had just woken up from his deep sleep. She asked them to be there sharply at six o'clock, and they had two hours until that time. The she-elf said she would fill their baths, and give them new outfits as soon as she attended to a couple more rooms first.
"This is just like a fairytale, it's so beautiful here!" Jackie exclaimed walking around in the hallway, all of their rooms had balconys off the other side that went over a crystal clear lake, that looked like a brochure for the Bahammas. The other two girls agreed with Jackie, but Vince of course did not. For on the way to their rooms he kept pestering the she-elf if there were any basketball courts or when the Superbowl would re-air and asking other stupid things thinking he was still back in Ohio.
They explored the premisses for fifteen minutes until the elven servant came running up the hallway carrying dresses, tunics, some boots, and slippers for the teenagers. She took each one of them into their bedrooms seperately, filling their baths with hot water and oils, and laying their dresses and slippers on the girls beds, and the tunics, leggings and boots on Vince's bed. She told them that they would all fit perfectly and that she would send some more elven servents in to fix their hair and groom them to their liking.

At twenty minutes before six, the four met outside in the hallway to go to dinner together, so it would be a group getting lost on the way to the dinner hall instead of four individuals. They all figured it would just be better to stick together, for they had no idea where they were going, because they weren't even given a tour.
They finally managed to make it, with five minutes to spare, they saw Aragorn waiting for them outside the hall with some strangers beside him talking among each other. He smiled, and waved them over.
"I would like you all to meet some of my friends, this is Gimli the dwarf son of Gloin, Boromir Steward of Gondor and son of Denethor the Second, Legolas Greenleaf son of Thranduil and Prince to the Northern Mirkwood Elves, Gandalf the Grey, one of the wisest and most powerful wizards, and Frodo Baggins, whom you have heard of I am sure." They smiled at his friends, and were delighted to see that Frodo had recovered.
"And I would like you all to meet Ladies Jenny Wood, Jackie Uditis, Andrea Evans, and Master Vince McGuire from the land of Ohio, which is not on Middle-Earth, and I am sure you have heard their story from Lord Elrond." Aragorn said, recieving nods from his friends. The three girls were plastered with the guys kissing their hands and bows towards Vince, who now felt he had just gotten called the "Next Michael Jordan."

The large group entered the dining hall. Andrea and Vince decided to sit next to each other, they felt like this time together would help them sort out their relationship problems and try to be a couple once again. Jenny found herself sitting between Jackie and Frodo, with the other three Hobbits across from them, and on the other side of her Jackie sat next Legolas.
They saw that Aragorn was not at their table, but up on a higher table with Elrond, Gandalf, a beautiful she-elf, and two twins. These they later found out were Arwen Undomiel, and her twin brothers Elladan and Elrohir.
"Mmm, this food is so good, I could eat this everyday!" Jenny said, helping herself to her second plate. Her and Jackie were busy during the meal talking about Chinese food, shopping at a place called Easton, CDs, and how much AOL sucks. Which arose many questions from little Pippin who was so curious about their world, and wanted to know every little detail. Once they would explain, he was fascinated, hoping one of them brought something from their world so they could show him.
"Jenny, didn't you bring your cell phone with you to Andi's house?" Jackie asked. Pippin once again looked confused, finding a new subject he started to ask what cell phones were.
Jenny's eyes lit up, "Oh my gosh! I did! I took it out of my pocket and put it on the table next to my bed not even thinking anything about it! I wonder if we can call my parents from here."
"Let's try tomorrow, and we can show Pippin it too!" Jackie said, this got Pippin even more excited.
The celebration was full of merriment, and Vince was very happy because he was served wine without being carded for identification because he was under the age of twenty one.
They partied and danced until everyone started leaving and going off to bed around one thirty in the morning. The teenagers would have stayed longer but they had had a very long day filled with traveling, partying, and a lot of confusion in the early part. They left Vince in the hall though, he was way too drunk to mess with, and was busy trying to flirt with many of the elven maidens but did not succeed. Some of the servents had to show him to his room a couple hours later, and had to sit with him talking about some guy named Michael Jordan, claiming he was the greatest person ever, this led to much confusion to the elves, who were about to hit him over the head with a pan from the kitchens. The elves threw him into his room exhausted, it was like taking care of a little child that never listened, and they all wished they could somehow lock him in there forever and never let him out.
It was such a long day for the teenagers, and the next day would be even longer, for they would soon find out they were to be summoned to a secret meeting tomorrow afternoon.
