(**) (**) (**) KIRBY DANCE!!! = Different universe

Disclaimer: Let's see...is Lord of the Rings mine...that's a toughie...I'm going to guess...no. Same goes for Kirby.

Authors note: Loads of hugs to all my reviewers. I realize full well that I haven't updated in somewhere along the lines of forever, just please forgive me and read on.

...Arwen turned onto her side and curled up into the classic fetal position, shielding her eyes from the early morning light with her blanket. She knew perfectly well that she had another long day ahead of her and would rather not face it until she had to. Unfortunately, Fate a.k.a. Waterfall has decided that if she is awake, everyone gets to be awake. Because at that moment six voices disturbed the early morning calm with a loud

"ARWEEEEEN!"

Thinking fast, Arwen decided that feigning sleep would be the best approached, 'As long as I'm quiet and still, they'll think I'm asleep and go away.'

Boy was she wrong.

(**) (**) (**) KIRBY DANCE!!!

Leggy-Chan: Huh? What happened?

Waterfall: We went to a different universe.

Leggy-Chan: What's it called?

Waterfall: Nothing, yet. I haven't picked a name.

Leggy-Chan: Can this be Kirby Dance Universe?

Waterfall: Why?

Leggy-Chan: Well, it only makes sense because the Kirby Dance happens when we come here.

Waterfall: Fine then.

Leggy-Chan: What's Chan mean?

Waterfall: Oh that. It's a little thing that you plunk on the end of names to show affection. It's Japanese. I.e., neko-chan means cat-dear. Neat, huh?

Leggy-Chan: I thought you were learning French.

Waterfall: Yeah, I am, but I thought it'd be fun to have a wide variety of languages in this fic.

Leggy-Chan: Ah. Anyway, why'd you take the fic to Kirby Dance Universe?

Waterfall: I've a question. Why do people say 'Oh boy?' and 'Boy was she wrong'? Why don't they say 'Oh girl' and 'Girl was she wrong'?

Leggy-Chan: This is important how?

Waterfall: T_T It just is.

Leggy-Chan: I have no idea, then, but why don't we go back? I miss my soft feathery bed.

Waterfall: Oh fine.

"Why won't she wake up?" Frodo said, looking annoyed. He picked up a random stick and began poking Arwen with it.

"She's probably just really tired." Aragorn commented.

"Yeah." Sam said.

"But what if she isn't just asleep or tired?" Boromir said with wide eyes, "What if she is...dead?"

Everyone, including Waterfall, who had no idea that Boromir was about to say that, blinked. Aragorn then whacked Boromir upside the head.

"Ow! What was that for?"

"For being stupid." Aragorn said, "She can't be dead, she'll never be dead, she's an Elf! Elves are immortal!"

"Actually, you're wrong, Aragorn." Sam said, "She gave up her immortality for you, remember?"

"Oh." Aragorn said, "Yeah. But she's too young, anyway."

Frodo glanced over his shoulder and wrinkled his nose, "I know that whole 'I love you sooooo much that I'm going to give my immortality and never see my people in the Grey Havens' thing is supposed to be all sweet and sentimental and stuff, but it seems more along the lines of a Soap Opera to me."

"I thought it was wonderfully touching and- Wait a minute, what's a Soap Opera?" Sam asked.

"...I dunno." Frodo said.

"But you're the one who said it." Sam countered.

"I know." Frodo said, "Waterfall, what's a Soap Opera?"

~...~

"Waterfall?"

~Yeeeees?~

"We are waiting to hear your words of wisdom."

~Quiet. You are too loud.~

Frodo stuck his tongue out, "Am not."

~Be quiet and respect your elders.~

"Waterfall," Sam said, intervening, "We can't seem to get Arwen to wake up. What do you think we should do about it?"

~...I dunno. Throw water on her.~

"Like that's going to work." Sam muttered.

~I bet it would.~

"Waterfall?" Sam asked.

Silence.

"Oh just duckily great." Boromir said. "She left."

They all turned back to Arwen, who through all of this had been lying on the ground, apparently sleeping.

"What are we going to do with her?"

Aragorn seemed deep in thought. "Well," He said at last, tentatively, "Waterfall's probably right." With that he left for a moment.

"Since when?" Sam asked.

~Shut up, Sam.~

Sam looked surprised, "I thought you left!"

~Sam, Sam, Sam, I did leave. This voice is just a figment of your imagination.~

"What?! It is?! Oh wait." He looked relieved, "You must be lying."

~Me? Lie? *sniff* What a horrible thing to say. You hurt my feelings. *sob*~

"No! No! I didn't mean it like that!" Sam said hurriedly, "I meant that you were kidding! I-Oh great." Sam stopped as Waterfall began crying hysterically.

Let's have a re-cap. Sam is trying to comfort a hysterically crying disembodied voice, Aragorn is momentarily gone, Merry and Pippin still have stomach aches, Arwen is feigning sleep, Frodo is poking Arwen with a random stick, and Boromir is just standing there, looking bored.

And on with the story!

Just then, Aragorn came stomping back through the trees. In one hand was a water canteen which had just been filled at a nearby creek. Or as we in Greene County say, crek. But I don't think you really care about us. Anyway, Aragorn walked over to Arwen and poured the entire contents of the canteen on her face. Sputtering, Arwen jumped up madder than a hornet.

"See?" Aragorn proudly stated, "I got her to wake up."

His joy was cut short upon turning around and coming face-to-face with the canteen. The next thing anyone knew, Aragorn was lying on the ground, unconscious, with a red mark on his forehead. Arwen stood over him, the canteen in one fist and a look of murder etched on her face.

"You're awake!" Gimli shouted in relief.

Legolas smiled, "Yes, I believe so"

"How do you feel?" Gimli inquired.

"Ready to kill a certain ranger, an elf princess, and the son of a steward." Legolas responded.

Gimli nodded his head, "I agree with you on that one, but you can't do anything until you eat something." He gestured to the tray of food the servant Celólith had brought about half an hour ago, at what time she also removed the tray of untouched food from the night before. Legolas sighed and lifted the lid off the tray.

"Very well," He said, handing Gimli one of the plates and getting one for himself, "I want to get up and about as soon as possible."

Anon: Like I said, I could never kill Leggy-Chan. ~smirk~ As soon as he gets to feeling better, we'll get to see what he thinks of The Stupid Tall People's treatment of him. Thank you for reviewing!

Lilly Blackstar: Thanks you so much! I'll keep writing if you keep reading! (and reviewing!)

A Special Thanks to Ashley who gave me the idea for the Kirby Dance. Even though I just kinda sorta used it and she doesn't know...~cough~ Thanks Ashley!
