Getting the Tickets

*Ring*

"Ugh!" I mumble, reaching around in the dark for my phone. I finally grab it and pick it up. "Hello?" I grumble, my voice low and throaty.

"Emma! Wake everyone up!" says Aragorn.

"Why the hell would I wake everyone up? Why the hell did you wake ME up?" I groan. "It's one o' clock in the morning, troll!"

"Chill out, Emma. Me, Boromir, Faramir, and Arwen are all at the Rivendell coliseum. We're staying the night, waiting in line for Greenwings tickets. It seems that we aren't the only ones that traveled a long way to see them. The line goes forever!"

"Yea, so tell me again why you woke me up?"

"Oh, I see...so us four have to sit in the freak'n cold weather waiting for the tickets while the rest of you sleep in your warm beds. Does that seem fair?"

"Oh, okay," I gripe, stumbling out of bed. "I'll wake them all up."



I run outside with Legolas and Eowyn stumbling behind me. "Wait up, where's Eomer and Talim?" Legolas asks. I can see this amused glint in his eyes.

"Sh!" I hush him and we stand on my front porch in silence. "...And that's what matters," I hear Eomer's faint voice.

"They're somewhere by the barn!" I whisper as we start walking. This will be fun, sneaking up on them. I wonder what they're talking about. 'crunch!!!' goes leaves under Eowyn's feet.

I cringe at every footstep she makes.

"Here, get on my back," Legolas whispers. Humans...they're just too loud. Once we get to the barn ladder, set up against the barn, Legolas signals me to climb it. So I climb the ladder as lightly as I can and when I reach the top, Talim and Eomer are staring at the stars, cuddled up. Part of me doesn't want to ruin this moment for them...but then again there is this urge to...

"BOO!" I jump and Talim screams, grabbing onto Eomer. Eomer even lets out a yelp! I can hear Legolas and Eowyn laughing their asses off from below.

Talim looks at me and crosses her arms. "That was so uncalled for! You guys came all the way out here just to spoil this, didn't you?"

"No, actually, Aragorn just called. He wants us to meet him at Rivendell Coliseum," I answer.

Talim sighs and grabs Eomer's hand. "I guess. If we must."



"Hey guys! We finally found you!" Legolas says, as we come up to the rest of the group.

"Yea, it's about time," says Aragorn. "We got plenty of blankets and all we have to do is wait for the ticket counter to open."

We all sit down. I sit down against the fence with Arwen on one side and Legolas on the other. I snuggle up in-between them and get ready to sleep.

"Faramir will do the first watch, and then he'll get someone else to do an hour of watching, and so forth. We have to be awake at six o' clock. That's when the ticket dude will give us tickets," says Aragorn.

Before I know it, I'm falling asleep again. A cuddle up to Legolas, wrapped up in the blanket, and then saw no more.



"But sir, we NEED these tickets! We've been waiting all night!" Aragorn cries to the guy at the ticket counter.

"I'm sorry, but we have no more!" he hollers back.

That jerks me awake. I gasp, taking into my surroundings. It's bright outside and all of those people waiting for the tickets are already gone.

Talim checks her watch. "Ten o' clock," she says.

I look to see Faramir sprawled on the ground in a very unusual way. "Faramir!!" I scream.

He jumps up immediately. "What? What?!"

"You fell asleep," I say.

"Now we can't get our tickets, because we were asleep when he ticket guy came!" Arwen says, crossing her arms over her chest. He glances over at Eowyn who looks very disappointed.

"I'm...I'm sorry, guys," he says.

I shrug, trying to get over it. This was just one of my favorite bands and everything! "I only have front row tickets, and those can't be for any of you! They are for important, rich families who are willing to pay big bucks."

"Oh, we're not rich enough?" says Aragorn calmly. "Right here, before you, we have prince Legolas, princess Arwen, and Eowyn and Eomer here are the king of Rohan's niece and nephew."

The man looks a bit skeptical at Legolas, Arwen, and the rest of us. "May I see your license, please? And may I also see your royalty papers?"

Everyone shows their license except for me and Talim [yea, we need to get ours] and Arwen pulls out her royalty papers. She's always prepared for these kinds of things. Legolas...well, he never brings his around.

The man stares at Arwen's papers and smiles. "Wow," he says plainly for a moment. "I can hardly believe that here I am, in front of the princess of Rivendell and all."

"Does this mean, sir, we can get in?" I ask, hopefully.

He takes a moment and calls his 'boss' or whatever. Finally, he returns. "You can come! Front row tickets!"

He hands each of us two tickets. "What are the extra ones for...?" I pause and read it. My eyes must be bad, because what I'm seeing couldn't be real!

Eowyn screams. "BACKSTAGE PASSES!!!!"

I scream with her and all the guys are staring at their passes. "Oh my god! We are going backstage to the best punk band ever!!" says Boromir.

I sigh. "And we have Faramir to thank for it!" I finally say, remembering how bumbed he had looked before when he had let us down. He smiles at me and I give him a giant hug. Everyone else gives him a hug.

"I hate to burst the bubble so soon," says the man. "But it'll cost you nine gold coins." Aragorn flinches at the price. "I'm sure we can pull together that money," Aragorn says.

"I sure hope so," says the man. "I'd hate to see you all leave empty- handed."

"I'll help!" Legolas says, pulling out a little leather bag from his pant pocket. He pulls out gold coins one by one and gives them to the man.

"Legolas, THANK YOU!" Eowyn and me say together.

Legolas shrugs. "What did you think I spend my money on? Clothes isn't as important as seeing this concert with my lovely lady," he says, grabbing me, "and my friends."

We all smile.

"Let's get some sleep and get ready! We want to look our BEST for tonight!" says Talim. We all agree. And since Arwen's house is the closest, we all decide to crash on her xxking sized bed, the bed that's like the size of my room.



We all stare at Arwen's big bed. It's not really hers, it's her father's extra 'family' bed.

"I don't want to be like sleeping next to a guy," Faramir says. "It's just...weird."

"Yea," agrees Eomer. "If you try to make me, I'll sleep on the floor."

"I'll tell you where you're going to sleep!" Arwen says. "And it wont be next to a guy." We finally get settled in the bed. From left to right we have Aragorn, Arwen, Legolas, me, Faramir, Eowyn, Eomer, Talim, and Boromir. The bed is so big, I have plenty of room to sleep and toss around. "This is great," I whisper.

Faramir turns to face me. "Yea...you wanna make out?"

I slap Faramir on the arm and Legolas reaches over me to slap him on the head.

"I was JUST kidding," he tells me.

"I know," I say. "Now go turn next to Eowyn. Try to make out with her and let me get some sleep," I say, turning over to cuddle up with Legolas.

"I love you," Legolas says, cuddling more up to me so that we're in a ball. I kiss him softly on the lips. "I love you too," I say, drifting to sleep.



"Wakeup little lovebirds!!" Talim says, jumping on the bed right by my head.

"Ugh," I mumble. "What is it?"

"Concert!!" she cries. We have to hurry to your house to get ready! The concert is in two hours. We have to stop by to get some food too."

"Oh no!" I cry, jumping out of bed. I want to look my best for tonight and about an hour to get ready wont make me look my BEST! "Get up, babe," I say, pulling Legolas out of the empty bed. "Everyone else is doing stuff to get ready!"

"Wait!" Talim looks at her watch. "No, no, we have three hours...but we still need to hurry up! It'll take us a few minutes to get out of here and to Emma's. It'll take us half an hour to get to the Rivendell Coliseum and..."

"We know, already!" I squeal. "So let's get going!"



I glance at my reflection in the mirror. I look really nice. My hair is all brushed straight and I'm wearing this crisp, white shirt with a long black fleecy sweater. It kind of looks like a robe that goes to my thighs, but it's really cute. And then I have my new black jeans and some clunky black shoes.

Talim burst into the room. She looks nice too. She makes me scoot over to that she has some room by the mirror. She's in this white dress with a small red coat. Actually, I wouldn't call it a coat. It only covers up her arms and it has this fluffy collar around her neck. She's even got this cute red bracelet and cute red shoes to go with it. Her jet black hair is brushed just perfectly.

"Let's get going!" I hear Legolas from outside my door.

I have to drag Talim away from the mirror and then I open the door. Eomer and Legolas both look handsome. Everyone is quiet for a moment. The boys are smiling at us.

"You guys look great!" Legolas says finally, grabbing my hand. We all head out of the house, running.

"You look gorgeous," says Eomer to Talim.

"Hey, wait for me!!!" Eowyn says, running out the door behind us. 'Oops! Almost forgot about her!'
