Kristen woke with a start breathing heavily. "It was just a dream. A really, really bad dream," she told herself and looked around. It was still dark and it looked like everyone was asleep. She tried to go back to sleep, but every time she did the terrible dream came back to her. After a while she decided to pray. She prayed that God would guide and protect her and her friends through whatever happens on this trip. She sat there for a while doing nothing. Finally she decided to watch a movie seeing as no one else was awake. She got her laptop and, not wanting disturb anyone, climbed into a tree. She loved climbing trees. The natural beauty of seeing as far as the eye could see. She understood why the elves enjoyed being in trees, such peacefulness and wonder, especially in these trees she found. There was some kind of magic in it. Back home whenever she had a bad day she would climb into a tree with her CD player and sit there for hours hoping that the next day would come and everything could be forgotten. Kristen decided to watch Star Wars Episode II. Along with The Lord of the Rings and The Matrix it was her favorite movie. She was almost to the part when Obi-Wan, Anakin, and Padme were to be executed when someone came up to sit beside her. She was sitting on a very large branch so she knew that it could hold at least three people, but she was still surprised and was even more surprised when she saw who was sitting next to her. She was so surprised she jumped and took the headphones she had been wearing off. "Legolas!" she yelled. He looked at the expression on her face and chuckled. "I 'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. I saw you come up here a little over an hour ago and was curious to see what you were doing. What are you doing?" Legolas asked. "I was watching a movie on my laptop," she replied. "What movie is that?" he asked. He had been the first to actually grasp the fact that the girls were from a different world and the things in that world were different from stuff here. He understood a lot of the things they were explaining to him in an hour while it took everyone else about two hours to actually grasp the concept of everything. He just thought it was because he was so much older than everyone else. "It's called Star Wars Episode II Attack of the Clones." "Star Wars?" he asked confused. "What is that?" "It's about these other planets and the things there that lead to the destruction of the Republic. It's hard to explain, but maybe we'll have time during this whole journey and I'll be able to let you watch this movie and some of the others." "Others, as in more?" "Yes, there are six movies total. There are actually nine books in the series, but the director and writer of them said that he wasn't going to make the last three books into movies for reasons I will not explain because it will just add more questions," she said with a smile. "I understand," he replied and smiled back at her. "You want to see something from my planet? That is something that doesn't have anything to do with technology," she asked. "How can you do that?" he asked becoming confused. "We have these things called cameras. They're like an instant portrait, only more lifelike. I can save the pictures onto my computer." "I think it would be nice to see something like that," he said. "There are a lot of them. You may see some pictures of you and the rest of the Fellowship, but don't mind that," she said and started showing him the pictures she had collected over the years. He was amazed at how much different they all looked like as humans. There were so many pictures they sat there for almost two hours looking at all of them with a simple explanation of what was going on the picture. They were so caught up in the pictures and sometimes even laughing at something Kristen had said or at the picture that they didn't even notice that the others had woken up and were frantic wondering what had happened to them. They were so high up in the tree that the rest couldn't hear them laughing. All of a sudden they heard some shouting from further out in the forest. "Kristen! Legolas! Where are you?!" they heard from various members of the group all from a different location. "Sounds like the others are awake. I think they think we were captured during the night," Legolas said. He started to climb down and Kristen followed. When she reached the ground she felt short next to him, but didn't let that faze her since she was getting used to the feeling. When she looked around she saw that everyone had left except for Pippin. "Where have you been!? Everyone thought the Dark Lord had come back and captured you!" he said when he saw them. He called for the others to come back and told them not to explain anything until everyone was back. "Alright, where were you?" Sara asked after everyone was back. "Let me see. Sara! You of all people should know!" Kristen practically yelled. "Why should I know?" "I climb into them whenever I've had a bad day and elves love them!" "Why would you be in a tree?" she asked after a few minutes. "Because I had a bad dream so I went up there to watch a movie and I guess Legolas followed me up," Kristen said. "I showed him some pictures of home," she said after a minute and suddenly became sad. "You know what's funny." "What?" Emma asked curiously. "I didn't think I'd really miss Caleb," Kristen said laughing a little. "I know what you mean. It seems I miss Ellie," Emma replied. "Whose Caleb and Ellie?" Merry asked. "Caleb is Kristen's younger brother and Ellie is Emma's younger sister," Legolas said and everyone, except Kristen, looked at him in surprise. "How did you know that?" Emma asked. "I showed him pictures from home," Kristen replied. "Oh, pictures! Of course, I see," Emma said. "How stupid of me not to put two and two together!" "Speaking of pictures I forgot my laptop in the tree! I'll be back down in a minute," Kristen said and began climbing up to where she had been sitting. When she was half way to the ground she heard a noise come from the tree beside the one she was in. When she looked over she saw the most horrific looking creature she had ever seen, an orc. She screamed as it jumped at her, but she easily jumped to the next branch to safety. When she reached the ground everyone was looking at her waiting for an explanation of the scream. She simply pointed to the tree as the orc jumped out and the Fellowship immediately took out their weapons. "Quickly now! There could still be danger!" Gandalf said after Legolas shot the orc with an arrow. Everyone began to run with Gandalf in the lead.
