Laura: I own all of them! *hugs the Fellowship, and ghost of Tolkien appears*

Lauren: Uh, Laura?

Laura: What? Oooh, crap.

Tolkien: Let them go. *Laura lets all of them go except Legolas, who tries to run away, but Laura grabs his braid before he can get away*

Legolas: Yeek! Ouch.

Laura: Okay, I only own my Leggy poo.

Legolas: Leggy poo??? YOURS??? Hey!

Tolkien: Ahem?

Laura: Pwease? *puppy face*

Tolkien: NO.

Lauren and Laura: Damn. *lets Legolas go*

Legolas: I'M FREE!!! WOOHOO!!! *runs away happily*

Laura and Lauren: *wail* We don't. own. ANY OF THEM!!! *fall on each other bawling*

~Random COMMENT: Y'know, I think Galadriel is reeeally ugly (in the movie). I mean, look at her! Her face is all pointy and stuff!! Although I love her hair.. but she should brush it once in a while. ~Random QUESTION: Okay, why, in the movie, is Leggy-poo walking around with a silver pitcher?? I mean, yeah, its cool, but still, what's the point??? ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Chapter 7: And off we go down the big happy river...

~Lauren POV~

A few days later, we left Lothlorien. I was pretty sad, actually, because it was really pretty there. But before we could go, Galadriel made us sit around for several hours listening to her yak away...

~Galadriel POV~

What a rude child! Anyways, I asked them to stay, for I wanted to give them gifts to aid them.

To Aragorn, I gave a sheath for his sword. "The sword that is kept in this sheath shall never break," I told him. I also gave him a brooch with a green stone. "You shall now, and forever more, be known as Elessar, the Elfstone."

He bowed. "Thank you, my lady." I just nodded my head.

To Boromir, Peregrin, and Meriadoc, I gave belts. Boromir's was made out of gold, while the hobbits' were made out of silver.

I gave a new quiver and bow to Legolas. The string was made from elf-hair, one of the strongest fibers there are. "The bows of the Galadrim are the best there are. Use it well, son of Thranduil."

"Thank you my lady, and namaarie." He bowed low.

Next, I asked Gimli to come forward. "And what would a dwarf ask for from the elves?"

"To look upon the lady of the wood," he answered softly.

I smiled gently. "Is there anything else-?"

~Laura POV~

Okay, y'know what? This is getting BORING!!! *ahem* Anywho, Gimli got Galadriel's hair, Sam got dirt (woohoo *rolls eyes*), Frodo got Earendil, yadda yadda yadda...

Next she told Lauren to go forward. She gave her a small sword with a sheath and a book. "This book contains all known remedies and cures. All of you are bound to get injured, and this is a valuable treasure. Use it well."

"Thank you, Galadriel," Lauren whispered. I knew she was excited, because she REALLY wants to be a doctor when she graduates from college. Galadriel looked deep into her eyes for a second. I waited for her to call me, but she didn't.

"Oh well guess I don't get anything... LET'S GO!" I said. Legolas pulled me back down. "Jerk," I muttered. He pointed to Galadriel, who was beckoning me to come forward. I sighed and walked slowly up to the little throne platform thingy that she was sitting on.

First she handed me a small sword with Elvish writing on it, along with a matching sheath. Then she reached down next to her chair. "Young Laura, to you I give the gem of Hyarmené." She held out a silver chain with a clear stone (which looked like a diamond) embedded in a pendant. It was one of the most beautiful things I'd ever seen! "This is also very valuable, and useful. The gem is clear when all is well, and glows blue when danger is near."

"Oh my- thank you, my lady!" I breathed. I started to walk back to where I had been sitting, but I heard her speak. "Wait, child."

I turned around, and realized that she was inside my head. Erg, this was getting annoying...

"Do I still frighten you?" she asked quietly.

"No, my lady. I see now that I was stupid and rude. Forgive me." For some reason, I started to cry.

"Dear child, it is nothing to be ashamed of. Many are afraid of me. I take no offense from you being afraid, too." She put her hand on my cheek, then kissed the top of my head. "Namaarie," she said out loud.

"Namaarie," I answered quietly. I finally went back to my seat, still clutching the necklace.

~Legolas POV~

I was amazed that Galadriel would trust Laura, of all people, to have the stone of Hyarmené. It's one of the most valuable things that belonged to her.

Laura sat back down next to me, staring at the necklace. "You're lucky," I said. "That is very valuable. That silver is mithril. Take good care of it." She nodded slowly, still staring at it.

"It's so..." she struggled for a word. "SHINY!!!" she cried, completely breaking the tranquil mood. I groaned and put my face in my hands as she and Lauren started laughing.

"Farewell, my friends," Galadriel said, motioning for us to stand up.

We went down to the small dock and got into the boats. I groaned again as Laura hopped into the one that Gimli and I would be riding in.

"Ahoy, fellow seamen!" she cried enthusiastically. Gimli grumbled and climbed into the boat. I just sighed and prayed to Eru that I wouldn't get the sudden urge to purposely drown myself.

~Lauren POV~

I hopped into the boat with Aragorn and Frodo, because I didn't want to get stuck with Boromir. He creeps me out. So we went on our merry way, paddling happily down the river.

After a few minutes, I looked to one shore and saw many, many, MANY elves lined up. They were all watching us, and some were waving. I couldn't resist the opportunity.

"GOOD-BYE, MY BELOVED FANS!" I cried, jumping up and waving enthusiastically. "I LOVE YOU ALL!!!" Then I buried my face in my hands and pretended to sob. I grinned as I heard Laura: "BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!!"

"Sit DOWN!" Aragorn whispered pleadingly.

"Oh, jealous that you can't be in the limelight, eh, Stinky?" Laura called from across the river. Legolas whapped her on the back of the head. "OW!!! YOU JERK!!!"

The elves just stared at us, completely confused, giving Aragorn and Legolas apologetic looks that said: I'm so sorry you have to be stuck with such retards.

We made our way down the river for most of the rest of the day. Finally, right about dusk (which was approximately 7:00 by my watch), we pulled off onto the shore.

"We will rest here for tonight," Aragorn announced importantly.

"Oooh, I LIKE this spot!" Laura said enthusiastically. "I mean, this is some quality rocky ground!! I can't WAIT to lay down on it and get permanent back damage!!"

Legolas groaned for about the trillionth time that day. "Aragorn, can I PLEASE trade you passengers?" he begged.

Aragorn looked over at me. I grinned and waved. "Hmm... no, I like my passenger. She's quiet, and not quite as annoying as yours."

"I RESENT THAT!" Laura called from somewhere in the woods, where Legolas had sent her to get firewood. Suddenly-

"YEEEEEEEEEEEE-AAAAAAAAHHH!!!!!!!!" Laura came tearing back through the camp without any firewood.

"What in the Valar's name is wrong?!" Legolas cried.

"There- there was a-" Laura panted, her eyes huge.

"WHAT?!" all of us yelled. Aragorn and Boromir pulled out their swords, and Legolas fit an arrow to the string.

"A spider!" she squeaked.

"Oh my god..." I smacked my head against the nearest tree. Everyone else groaned and rolled their eyes, putting away their weapons. "Laura, there's spiders EVERYWHERE! I mean... oh, god, there's one on your shoulder."

"YEEEEEEK!!!!" Laura started prancing around wildly, smacking her shoulders, trying to get the non-existing spider off her. She stopped when she realized that we were laughing our asses off at her. "LAUREN!!!" she roared, and tackled me, stuffing leaves, twigs, and mud in my hair.

"Eek!!! Gerroff me, you bia!" I started tickling her armpits, where she's most ticklish.

"Ahahaaha, stop it!!! Hahahahaa!!! Don't!!!!" She was part mad, part happy. Very odd, and yet very normal for such a freak like her. (Laura: I RESENT THAT, TOO!!!)

~Laura POV~

Meany-heads. Why is everyone so cruel? *sob* Oh well, I'll get them back... I have my ways... MWAHAHAHAAHAA *cough cough* HAHAA!!!

Once I got the evil brunette from hell to stop tickling me, I stood up. "Dammit all, Lauren! You got me all muddy!" I made my lower lip tremble.

Legolas got a terrified look on his face. "Oh, no! Please don't wail-!"

"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!" I plopped to the ground and threw my head back, whining as loud as possible.

~Lauren POV (again)~

"OKAY, THAT'S IT!!! I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS!!" Legolas yelled, still covering his ears with his hands. He grabbed some rope and a random piece of cloth.

"This should do it!" he said to himself. Quicker than I thought possible, he had thrown Laura to the ground and tied her up. "Hey, what the-?" Laura yelped.

Then he took the cloth and tied it around her head to be used as a gag. He stood back and admired his handiwork. Laura sat on the ground with a look like this: O.o?

"Oooh, bah-URN baby!" I cried happily, shoving a finger in her face. Then I turned around and looked at Legolas. "High five, buddy!" I raised my hand.

Legolas stopped and looked at me, then cowered. "Don't hit me! I didn't do anything!" he whined.

I blinked and turned around to look at Laura, who had tears running down her face from her silent laughter.

"No, darling grasshopper," I said soothingly, walking towards him. "When I hold my hand like this, it means 'high five', which is a congratulatory gesture. You're supposed to hit my hand now." I spoke as though talking to a four-year-old.

"Oooh," he said, with a look of revelation on his face. "I get it." He slapped my hand, a little harder than necessary.

"Ouch! Not that hard, Princess Puff!" I scolded, pulling my hand away. "No doggy treats for you tonight!"

Legolas blinked and shook his head, then went into the woods. "I'm going to go find some firewood," he announced.

"We'll alert the press," I muttered. I looked down, and Laura kicked my shoe.

"Grr fiss ggggrggg fffaff eeef!" she said angrily.

"What was that, Blondie?" I asked sweetly.

"GRR FISS GGGGRGGG FFFAFF EEEF!!!" she roared, although it wasn't that loud, considering she was gagged.

"What?" I said, yanking the gag off harshly.

"OW!!! Bitch," she muttered. I smacked her.

"Bad girl!! No using potty language around Prometheus!" I scolded, using a motherly tone. I looked over to where the rest of the Fellowship was sitting. All of them were staring at us with extremely disturbed looks on their faces.

"WHAT?" Laura and I complained at the exact same time.
