Sorry for a long delay, but school can be enough to drive one insane!! Hope this won't be overly confusing!

"I look like Britney Spears."

Legolas was not in the least bit pleased at having to wear a dress. Gimli had suggested that he braid his hair overnight to give it that wavy quality that Galadriel had, and, unfortunately, he'd woken up looking like the teenage pop singer of doom.

"Looks kinda nice," said Arwen, dressed in complete Legolas garb, much to his dismay.

It was the first day of total in-character-ness, which included costumes. Legolas didn't know who had broken into his wardrobe, but he was not happy. Elrond's daughter was wearing his best clothes- he'd only bought them the week before, and hadn't even asked Aragorn (the real one) if it was good.

Gimli had had a little bit of trouble getting into Celeborn's robes, as was evident from the large amount of thumping about coming from his room, but how he turned up that morning shocked everyone, including a furry footed Elrond.

The Dwarf had shaved.

The real Galadriel fainted. Arwen screamed in horror, and, much to Legolas' surprise, so did Glorfindel. The Anti-Arwen Elf, now decked out in her clothes, seemed to have taken it into his head that he really was Arwen. It was rather scary. Just last night, he had knocked out four random elves and stolen the real Arwen's necklace from Aragorn.

"Gim- er- Celeborn!" exclaimed Pippin, waving his staff around like a lunatic. It was much too big for him, and to avoid tripping over it, he would tie it to his huge, fake and very messy beard.

"Gandalf, there you are!" said Gimli, in a surprisingly un- gruff voice. "Eight there were there yet nine there were set out from Rivendell. Tell me, where were you Gandalf, for I much desired to speak with you! Where do you buy your robes? Mine keep catching fire because of all the glowing!"

Pippin was about to answer, when he gestured suddenly and produced Merry from behind a nearby table.

"Confound you Samwise Gamgee!" he shrieked, before falling over in the effort of holding Merry up.

"Help me Mr. Frodo!" squealed Merry, waving his saucepan and shears about.

"What's wrong, Sam?" asked Aragorn wildly, wearing Frodo's garments, which looked like biker shorts on him.

"I'm stuck in Gandalf's beard! Help!!!"

"Look Pip!" shouted Elrond suddenly.

Gandalf (the real one) turned to watch Elrond. The Wizard hadn't shaven, but had tied his beard into a bun. He looked slightly revolting. Especially since he too was wearing clothes that fit him like biker shorts.

Elrond had acquired a large firecracker, and had lighted it too. Both he and Gandalf were thrown to the ground when it went off.

"Nooo!!!" yelled Pippin and Merry as the firework collided into them. They were sent three feet into the air and fell to the ground onto Galadriel (who was unhurt because she was wearing bulky armour and a large fake beard, which was actually the contents of her pillow, all dyed a bright, bright, bright red)

Aragorn hurried to them, looking concerned. "Oh Sam," he said, "Don't you remember Gandalf saying 'Don't you burn, Samwise Gamgee!' and you said you didn't mean to?" he stamped a few times on Pippin's beard as he spoke, to put out a small flame on it.

Merry got to his feet, looking full of Sam- like things to say, but Pippin ran straight to Gandalf and Elrond, twisting their ears. "Meriadoc Brandybuck, and Peregrin Took, I should have known!" He actually smiled in pleasure when they howled. The smile was short lived though, when the Wizard and the Elven King both stood up, lifting the Hobbit into the air. Considering that he was still holding onto their ears, this was very stupid of them, and they howled even louder.

Arwen interrupted Pippin's admonition. The daughter of Elrond, who was now pretending to be the Prince of Mirkwood, had an electric guitar, and began jamming as she sang, very off key, (to the tune of 'Wild Thing')

"WILD KING!

HE MAKES MY HEART SING!

HE DOES EV'RYTHING COOLLY!

WILD KING!!"

Sam emerged at that moment, unsteady because of a large plastic sword at his waist. "Nice song there, Ar- I mean Legolas!" Arwen smiled smugly at Glorfindel.

"Hey!" said Glorfindel, pushing Arwen away. "That's MY Aragorn!" He smiled at Sam and gave him the necklace he'd stolen. "This is for you, Aragorn dear!" he said, "I choose a mortal life! Oh yeah, and don't you dare give it to Mary- Sue!"

Sam looked slightly confused, but put on the necklace anyway. The real Arwen glared at Glorfindel. "You can't make him wear a NECKLACE!" she yelled. "He is Aragorn, son of Arathorn, and heir to the throne-"

Legolas was very annoyed by Arwen's display of Aragorn fandom, not because she was off key, but because he was afraid the real Aragorn might decide he liked the song. He liked Arwen enough anyway to begin with. The Elven prince needed a plan, and for it to work, he had to put off being Galadriel for a while. Getting into his normal clothes, he got his own guitar, put on a pair of sunglasses he'd found in Elrond's room, and sang a song he'd been saving for Aragorn's birthday. (He'd stolen the tune from the 'Lion King', of course)

"He's gonna be a mighty king,

So all of you beware,

Aragorn's so cool, you know,

And he's Isildur's Heir!

He's gonna marry an Elven maid,

Like no King has before,

And Gondor will be his kingdom,

Who cares 'bout Denethor!

His reign will be a super awesome thing!

Oh he just can't wait to be King!!"

Boromir began making his way towards him, he obviously cared about Denethor, but Elrond reached Legolas first.

"Mister Greenleaf." he said ominously, switching into Agent Smith mode, taking his sunglasses back and putting them on. "Do you remember what I told you, Mister Greenleaf? Stay in character. NO OBJECTIONS!!!!!!"

He then bounded over to Gandalf and began plotting something with him.

Meanwhile, Glorfindel and Celeborn were having a father- daughter argument as they walked down the hall.

"No, you cannot have the shards of Narsil!"

"They're still sharp!" bellowed Boromir randomly.

"But dad," whined Glorfindel breathily, much like Arwen, "I wanna give them to Aragorn!"

"Aragorn doesn't want them!" snapped Celeborn. He was about to continue when he tripped over something on the ground. Frodo.

"Never mind me, I'm just Glorfindel!" the Hobbit said cheerfully.

As if on impulse, Glorfindel grabbed a large vase and broke it over Frodo's head, then bounded off, yelling that he was going to steal Asfaloth.

As the morning wore on, Pippin kept pulling Merry out from random places, each time saying the same line- 'Confound you, Samwise Gamgee!' When he wasn't doing that, he was bonking Gandalf on the head with his staff, screaming 'Fool of a Took'. When he felt like it, he bonked Elrond with a 'Fool of a Brandybuck' as well.

As Galadriel, Legolas had no choice but to roam about with Gimli asking people about Gandalf. It would have been all right if the real Galadriel, still bearded, didn't follow him around telling him how beautiful he was and asking for strands of his hair.

When Merry wasn't busy being pulled out of places by Pippin, he was following Aragorn around, and a very bored Boromir was stalking both.

When evening fell, most of the inhabitants of the Last Homely House were exhausted. The only exceptions were Frodo, who had nothing to do but be knocked out, and Celeborn, who, being Elrond, had the life.

When the sun set beyond the horizon, all the lanterns went out, and the company was plunged into darkness.

There was a strangled yell and a loud thump, and then silence.

When the Elves switched to full power glowing, they saw what the thump had been.

One of them had been killed.

Boromir, son of Denethor, was dead.

"Darn".

Poor, poor Boromir. I guess he's just fated to die. I hope this chapter wasn't too confusing! Try making a list or something- it really helps!

Alright, readers- this is very important- tell me who you think the culprit is AND who you want to be the one to solve the mystery at the end. It might be of help to them. Your characters are depending on you!
