A/N And heeeeeeeere's chapter three! Again, I have no clue when this fic is going to end. Probably within the next one or two chapters.

Cookies Awards: Ok, the people who get cookies are as follows:

Aramis and CrimsonElf get cookies because they figured out what look Gimli was talking about. Artemis get a cookie, too. She didn't get the Cabaret reference right, but she was the ONLY ONE who tried, so here's your cookie.

The Cabaret reference was when Charisma asked Legolas if her body drives him wild with desire.

Another thing: Yes, some of you observant readers have noticed that a few times, Charisma is for some reason called Ashley. The reason for that is, when I was first writing the fic, her name was going to be Ashley, but then I realized that my friend named Ashley would kill me for that. So I went through what I had written already, and changed the name wherever it came up. I guess I missed a few spots. *blushes* I'm working on fixing it, but if you spot any more, PUH-LEESE tell me! Thanks!

Disclaimer: I own Charisma, but not anything else. *sighs sadly*

-----------------------

Charisma decided it was time to try a different tactic to win her way into Leggy-kun's heart. She knew that Elves loved music (that much was apparent from the sound track to the LOTR movies), and she KNEW she had a wonderful singing voice, so the solution was simple: She's serenade Legolas with a beautiful Elvish ballad, and he would instantly love her!

Of course, there was the fact that Elvish ballads are usually in Sindarin or a similar dialect, and Charisma spoke not a word of these languages, but she was not beholden to such trivial details. Besides, Elvish was just a bunch of gibberish. She could make anything sound like that!

Charisma quickly composed a melody and lyrics in her head based on what she'd hear on the LOTR soundtracks. 'This is like, easy!' she thought to herself. Maybe when she got home she could become a famouse composer like that Beet-oven dude...

Charisma turned her head to see where her beloved was now. Legolas was deep in conversation with Aragon, Borimer, Gimly, and Gandlof. The poor Elfie-boy looks worried. 'He's like, stressed out, the poor thing,' Charisma thought. 'Music always like, helps me when I'm stressed, though!'

She wiggled over to where Legolas was, and tried to get his attention before she began to sing her beautiful song. After all, she didn't want to startle him.

"Leggy-kun!" she said softly. No reply. "Leggy-kun! It's me!" she said, a little louder. Well, ok. Alot louder. Legolas seemingly ignored her, unless he really didn't know she was there? But no, that couldn't be! He had Elf ears! Those sexy, pointed Elf ears...

So, not knowing was else to do, Charisma began to sing.

"Ooh la di da, quenri hamna ho, looby la di doe, taranvetsden kra!"

*****

"Legolas," Gimli said observantly. "That thing is behind you."

"I know."

"And it appears to be trying to sing."

"Yes, my friend. My ears are sharp."

Boromir looked beyond Legolas to where the girl lay, passionately spewing out her la di das and lo di dos. "Gandalf," he asked. "What do you make of this?"

"Nothing good, I'll warrant," growled Gimli, staring at the girl with disgust. She was still "singing" away, oblivious to the world around her.

"Hush, Gimli," Aragorn said.

"You're telling me?" cried the dwarf indignantly. "It's that thing you should be silencing, Aragorn! She'll bring all the dark creatures in these parts down upon us with her screeching!"

"Gimli-"

"In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if this is really a signal to the servants of the Dark Lord who are even now bearing down up us!" The hobbits, huddled in a group nearby, looked at the surrounding hills nervously.

"Gimli!" said Gandalf sharply. The dwarf fell silent, looking at his feet and muttering something. The rest of the Fellowship turned to look at Gandalf.

"Gandalf?" Boromir asked, repeating his previous qustion. "What do you make of this?"

"The language she speaks is unlike any I have ever heard," Gandalf said. It was clear that this was troubling the wizard. "Slightly similar to the tongue of Rohan, perhaps, yet I can understand nothing."

And when Gandalf can't figure something out, that is NOT a good sign. Usually. In the case of Charisma, it didn't really matter anyway, but they didn't know that.

*****

Charisma had stopped singing by now, because it didn't appear to be working. Legolas was still ignoring her! Why didn't he swoon over her beautiful song? That was no way to treat a woman!

"Leggy!" snapped Charisma. "Like, you know nothing about girls!"

Legolas continued to ignore.

Defeated (for the moment), Charisma wiggled back to "her spot" and lay on her back staring at the stars. After a little while, she began to feel hungry.

Ah! Yet another way to win Leggy's heart! For he would surely fall in love with a poor, distressed, starving maiden!

"Ooh, Leggy!" moaned Charisma pitiously. "I am like, sooo hungry! Give me FOOOOD!!!" Perfect! He was sure to notice her now!

Except he didn't. Charisma tried again.

"Oooh, Leggy!" Charisma cried. "Oooh, woe is me, for I am like, distresses or whatever! Oooh, I am so hungry and starving!" If she even noticed it, Charisma chose to ignore the redundancy of her last sentence.

And Legolas was still busy talking to Gandlof and those other dudes!

Charisma began to wonder what the rope that bound her hands and feet tasted like. If it was edible, then that would be killing two birds with one stone: She'd satisfy her hunger, and be free! But eating rope? Charisma cringed at the thought. It was unhygenic!

*****

"Well, we set out in the morning, and we must decide what to do with this girl!" Aragorn said.

"We should bring her back to Rivendell," Borimir said. "My heart would not rest peacefully if we left her out here."

"It would be a burden to go back to Imladris," Aragorn argued, "and an even greater burden to take her on the Quest with us!"

"Then there is no other choice!" Gimli cried triumphantly. "We leave in the morning, and the girl stays here! If she is indeed a servant of the Enemy, he will undoubtedly send his henchmen to fetch her."

"So be it," said Gandalf.

*****

Charisma listened to that Dwarf, Gimly, laughing, and a shiver ran down her spine. It gave her a very bad feeling...

A/N ARRGH!!! I had a beautiful chanpter all typed up, and them my computer went all Matrix on me and I lost half the chapter!!! *glares at the screen*

Oh well. I guess I remembered most of it...

Anyway, I think the next one will be the last chapter. Don't worry! I'm not exactly going to kill Charisma, per se. Unfortunately. :)
