                   Chapter 4: Tricks in the Dark
                          By babmidnight



Gimli and Legolas continue to walk in the darkness, signs of
Legolas' laughter from the last outburst still evident.
They continued walking though the cave, going room to room in the
darkness. At one point they get separated.
Gimli, trying to leave his embarrassment from running into a wall
sings a song in his head thinking Legolas was still behind him.
He turned around to ask Legolas something when he realized he was
gone. Looking around, thinking, he didn't realize he starting singing.

"Until the break of dawn
Life, Life, and I quote by the letter
Time, Time, Prozac can make it better
Noise, Noise, any kind will do
Can you feel it slip away, well it's all on you"

He walks back in the direction he came from trying to find Legolas
still singing.

"Crime, crime, rockin like Janet Reno
Time Time, 18 and life in Chino
Void Void, all along its true
Well you see the coming day catches up to you yeah"

Not being able to see Legolas in the darkness he hears Legolas'
sudden laughter.

"Jeez Gimli didn't know you had it in you to sing" laughs Legolas

Gimli stops dead in his tracks going pale and nearly peeing in his
pants from embarrassment while all in his mind
wondering how he managed to do two embarrassing things in one day
first starting with running into a wall.

"Come Gimli, I think the way out is this way" smiles Legolas trying
to not laugh too hard at Gimli's out of tone singing.

"Oh look, stairs! See I don't miss all stairs" points out Gimli

They head up the steep uneven stairs, broken stone laying here and
there.

"Well at least were heading up, maybe we'll make it out." says Legolas

"Yeah well is it just me or is it just getting darker?"

"It's you" says Legolas as he runs in a rock the size of his head
falling onto Gimli hitting his head on Gimli's helmet.

"oww"

Gimli leans onto the wall next to the stairs laughing. "oh an elf
tripping…..*breathe*……that's something new…."

Gimli laughs so hard that he scares the sleeping bats. The bats fly
everywhere causing Legolas and Gimli to
jump and run into each other rolling down the stairs.

"Gimli why do you have to laugh so hard……."

"You're the one who tripped and right after saying I was the only one
thinking it was getting darker" comments Gimli.
