Chapter 19

A/N: Ow! Alex hurt me! (My friend Alex, not my crush). I wanted you to tell me why I was sick cuz I don't know. This will be the last chappie; all good things must come to an end. But don't worry, we already have another fic in the works of being typed. Christy's POV.

A/N2: Yeah, well, this is the last chapter for this story. Our next fic was supposed to be a stand alone fic but our friend was all 'You have to write a sequel!' so we wrote that, its sequel, and we're currently writing the sequel's sequel. Anyway, here's the frickin' disclaimer.

Disclaimer: We only own what you do not recognize from Tolkien's beautiful books.

Legolas: So…*steps closer to me* what are you doing Friday night?

Me: No, I will not give you the cookie if you go out with me.

Legolas: Doah! (Think Homer Simpson)

Haldir: Ha ha. Let me show you how it's done. Vanessa, you look nice today.

Me: F*** off. Leggo-boi already tried.

Haldir: What if I said 'I love you'?

Me: Hmm…close, but not quite.

Haldir: Fine. You leave me no choice. Please! Please! Pleeeeaassssseeeee!!!

Me: Nope.

Legolas: *Grins* I told you it wouldn't work.

Me: It would have if he had taken his shirt off for me.

Legolas and Haldir: *Run up and tear their shirts off.

Me: I can see we're going to need more cookies! *Hands them each a half*

I awoke the next morning still feeling kinda woozy. I didn't want to tell anyone or make a big deal about it, but Merry could tell.

"What's wrong, love?" he asked me. "Are you still feeling bad?"

"Naw, I'm fine. It's probably Frodo's cooking," I told him, struggling to sit up.

"No, no lay down!" he demanded, gently pushing me back down. "You're getting breakfast in bed (or should I say bedroll?) today!" Then he left without giving me time to argue.

"Uh," I groaned and fell asleep again.

"Where's Christy?" Vanessa demanded to know when she saw merry fixing 2 plates and preparing to walk off.

"She's getting breakfast in bed today," he answered shortly and walked off.

"How come you never do that for me?" Vanessa pouted to Pippin.

All she got in response was Pippin glaring daggers at Merry's back.

"Wake up, gorgeous," Merry whispered in my ear.

"Umm…I'm up! I'm up!" I said trying not only to convince Merry, but myself. "Oh, no I'm not!" I gave up, burying my head in my pillow.

"Oh no you don't! If I have to be up, you have to be up!" he argued, put down the food and tried to get me to sit up.

"But you don't have to be up!" I argued back and tickled him.

"Stop! Stop! OK! I give up! You win!" he laughed. He lay back down and wrapped his arms around me. "I'm sorry you don't feel well." All he received was snoring and he soon joined me in la-la-land.

♫♫♫

"Hey! Wake up!" Vanessa and Pippin yelled.

"Huh?" I asked blearily. As the 2 came into focus, I realized they were mad. "Uh…Merry, you might want to wake up." That didn't work so I tickled him.

"Ahh!! What?" I pointed. "Oh, what do y'all want?"

"Eat your breakfast and get ready to go! We've been waiting for over an hour. No one wanted to come right away because we figured you were being naughty. But then you didn't show up, so Pippin and I came looking. Lo and behold, we found you! Now get your last bums up!" Vanessa lectured us, and they left.

"Well, the good news is, I feel better!" I smiled at Merry.

"Long have I desired to look upon the kings of old," Strider was telling us and pointing at the Argonath. Apparently, they were related (duh!).

Soon it was the general consensus that we should rest at Amon Hen, which we were soon approaching.

(A/N [Christy]: I don't know what to write! Ahhh! I'm also supposed to be in bad, but that is beside the point! I also need to work on my solo fic, but that's irrelevant at the moment. "Come hell or high blood pressure, I'll finish it!" to quote Sherman Potter (from M*A*S*H). "Come what may, I will love you till my dying day!" Oh, wait, now's not a good time to daydream about Dom! Gotta write! But I don't want to leave Merry again! I do in every single fic! It's getting annoying! Well, back to the story. We now return you to your regularly scheduled fanfic!)

(A/N2 [Vanessa]: Jesus, Christy! You made me type all of that! You are so mean to me. Anyway, I just wanted to say how hard it was for me to type all of that. Every time Merry said 'Love' I wanted to chunk the computer out the window! Sheesh, it's gross! Anyway, onwards we go!)

"Do you think we have enough wood yet?" I asked Merry. Strider had, innocently, sent us to fetch some wood. Big mistake!

"Yep!" he said, putting his bundle down and I did the same to mine. We sat down. "I love you," he whispered in my ear before kissing me.

*Want to vanish inside your kiss* I thought/sang to myself. "I love you too," I whispered back, losing myself inside his kisses. Soon we heard some rustling.

"We better head back now," Merry told me.

"I don't wanna!" I protested, acting like a spoiled brat. Then it occurred to me that the rustling might have been an Uruk-hai. "Alright, I give up. I guess we should."

We got back in time to hear Gimli grumbling about dwarves not needing to recover strength. "We're deadly killing machines!" he complained loudly.

"Yeah, one whiff of his breath and everyone keels over dead!" I whispered, only loud enough for Merry, Pippin, and Vanessa to hear.

"Where's Frodo?" asked Merry.

"Uh-oh!" I said to Vanessa. "The fun begins now!" we were being torn. We didn't know if we should warn them about what was going to happen; we decided not to. I kissed Merry again, Vanessa doing the same to Pippin. I hoped it wouldn't be the last time I kissed him!

We followed Merry and pippin to the little bush that they hid in. Soon we saw Frodo hide behind the tree. Next thing I knew Pippin had dragged Vanessa out into the path in attempts to try and get Frodo to stay. Merry and I followed. Merry told Frodo to run and we led the Uruk-hai away.

We reached a clearing and the Uruk-hai surrounded us. Boromir rushed in and fought bravely. About half of them paid attention to him. The other half were more concerned with Vanessa and me.

"Women-folk," said a particularly ugly one. "I wants them!" he yelled, making a grab for me. Another tried to catch Vanessa. We backed away and fell, finding not forest, but carpet under our hands.

"We're back!" I muttered unhappily.

"Hey! We may not be with our men, but we also don't have those Uruk-hai after us anymore!"

"True," I answered melancholy.

"Hey, by the way, happy birthday."

"Thanks," I smiled.

Epilog thingamabob

Boromir was still killed by Lurtz and Lurtz still got his butt kicked by Aragorn. Frodo and Sam started on their way to Mordor and Merry and Pippin were still captured. It didn't seem like much had changed, but the hobbits had. They knew Christy and Vanessa might come and help them in their dire need; which did happen. But that's another story.

A/N: Sorry the ending sux, but I haven't had any caffeine in my system yet. Our next fanfic is not about the aforementioned foreshadowing; that will come later. Don't worry we won't leave you hanging, we're not THAT evil! Well, maybe I am…Eheheh.

A/N2: Well, what did you think? I dunno, I think out best story is the one after the next one. But you guys will have to wait a bit before that comes! Anyway, look for our next crazy thing around Monday or even this weekend if my dad lets me. Anyway, please review because we enjoy receiving them!

Thank you to everyone who has reviewed and kept up with our stories this far. We love you!!
