From Bottom to Top

Kristy flew into Legolas's room out of breath.

"Pissing Amy off again?" Legolas asked nonchalantly from his comfortable position on his bed where he was cleaning his favorite bow.

"What? Never." Kristy tried to play cool.

"What is it this time? Do I have to deal with you? Where's Gimli?" Legolas asked right in a row.

"I didn't do anything, no, I don't know." Kristy answered looking as innocent as she could.

"All lies, aren't they?" Legolas looked up from his bow.

"Yea." Kristy finally answered truthfully.

"I got an 'attitude, you have to deal with me, and Gimli is on his way." Kristy sighed and sat on the end of the bed, facing Legolas.

"Oh, dear." Legolas just shook his head. "Well, I owe you for this morning, you mad her so mad she couldn't think of a punishment. Now what am I suppose to do with you?" Legolas asked, pretending to be annoyed but really loving the moment

"I don't know, you could-" just as Kristy was about to finish her sentence Gimli came plodding in the room.

"Caught you." Gimli said unenthusiastically.

"Oh no." Kristy said in reply.

Surprisingly enough as much as Gimli appeared to hate Kristy and Kristy appeared to hate Gimli, the two got along rather well.

"Well then, that's all solved, Gimli, you deal with Kristy!" Legolas smiled at the two and got up to leave, closing the door behind him.

"Great." Kristy mumbled.

"What am I going to do with you?" Gimli asked with a smile grin.

"I have three bags of jellybeans I stole from Amy, that good enough?" Kristy said automatically.

"Good work soldier!" Gimli smiled and the two retreated into their shared bedroom so that Gimli could "deal" with Kristy. The two just split the jellybeans and chowed down with an occasional "No, I don't wanna!", "Do it now!", "Munchkin man!", or a "CinderKristy". And no one was wiser for the better.
