Beware the Little People

"ARRGH!!!!"I yelled backing away from the little men with pointy swords,"GET AWAY!GET AWAY!"

"SHH! Be quiet!"commanded one.

"Who are you?"I gasped.

"We're hobbits! These are Sam, Merry, Frodo and I'm Pippin." said another little dude, pointing out the other said hobbits.

"Great,"I muttered,"forget 'I see dead people'...I see non-existant people!"

"She sees dead people?"gasped Pippin.

"I don't think so Pip,"replied the oh so short one named Frodo.

Suddenly a tall, blond and might I add very cute elf leapt into the clearing.

"What was all the yelling for?"he demanded.

"Save me!" I cried,"I've wandered into munchkin land!"

Upon hearing this, Sam tripped me. I suppose hobbits don't take too kindly to being called munchkins. Go figure. However upon his tripping me I tumbled into "pretty boys" arms.

"Ouch!" I cried cradling my twisted ankle and glaring at the guilty hobbit.

"Oh you're injured!"the elf stated worriedly.

"Wow, so observant."I snapped. But then I looked up into those pretty whatever color they may be eyes, and grinned. "Hello,"I purred,"I'm Leanne."

"Well...Leanne, I should carry you back to our camp,"he said, easily lifting me up.

"Excellent!"I grinned,"so elf-boy, you got a name?"

"I'm Legolas,"he replied pulling my hand away from where I was petting his hair.

"Hm...you single?"

"Yes."

"Perfect!"I smiled.

Now he started back to camp with all of the little people following him. When we got back to where they were staying, two men and one dwarf greeted us.

"Hey dwarfey, what's new with snow white?"I quipped, but I simply received a blank stare in response.

"Who is this and where did she come from?"demanded one of the men.

"This is Leanne and,"Legolas paused,"where DID you come from?

"Beats me,"I shrugged,"I fell out of a tree and landed on a short dude."

The company shrugged, however the other man drew his sword.

"How do we know she's telling the truth? She may work for Sauron or Saruman!"he snarled.

"Um no need for violence,"I stammered ducking behind Legolas,"I don't even know who you're talking about!"
"I'm sure she tells the truth Boromir,"Legolas spoke up.

"That's right,you tell him!"I grinned.

Legolas sighed and moved to the other side of the fire. The hobbits amused themselves with cooking and the two men sat to the side talking. The dwarf, who I made sure to stay away from, was sharpening his ax.

I strode over to the other side of the fire and pretended to trip, falling right into the elf boys lap.

"Oops,"I giggled,"I seem to have fallen and I can't get up!"

"Let me help you,"Legolas snapped.

"Oh don't bother,I'm perfectly comfortable right here!"I stated innocently.

"I'm sure,"he muttered, rolling his eyes.

"How come it's always the elf that the women fall for?"Boromir whined.

"Literally,"added Aragorn.

"So,what's to eat?"I asked a while later.

"YOU, can have bread,"stated Sam, smiling at my glare.

"Goody,"I glowered, "I just love a well balanced meal."

"Well then you'll enjoy this,"Sam replied tossing me a chunk of bread, which I somehow caught.

"If you'll just..."Legolas started.

"I'm not moving."

He sighed,"Sam would you mind passing my food?"

****

A while later everyone was settling down to sleep and by then I had figured out a way to get close to Legolas.

"Such beautiful stars,"I said wandering over to where he was laying down,ignoring me."I wish I knew all of their names...."I trailed off.

His eyes lit up and I lay down next to him, pretending to be enraptured by what he was saying

"And that is Earendil our most beloved star..."he continued.

I sighed contentedly and curled up next to elf-boy. Over all...a very productive day!
