Responses to Reviewers: Gabriella: lol! Thanx, I hope that this chapter is as good! Soldat: Short? Oh, well. *sighs* Hey, your name seems to remind me of someone's MSN name... hehehe. Lol. ~_* Thanks for reading it! -MEGA-: Thanks for saying it was a great story! As for his personality- well, yes, I have read the books so I see what you mean, but this story wouldn't have been much fun to write if his personality was like it was in the books, so yes, I do mean to distort his personality some. Kazle: Sorry it wasn't very soon! lol. I love my reviewers. TokyoGal89: My most faithful reviewer! I love that line too! Unfortunately, neither me or the real Tiffany owns a room full of Legolas posters. *sobs* Hey, I can dream though. You have a poster of Anakin? I have a framed movie poster for the Fellowship of the Ring... Elven Platapus: Interesting name! I like it! Here's another chapter! Calm! And as this is a humor fic I don't think I'll kill him off, but you never know... BWA HAHA!!! Maureen: Certainly my dream! Lol. Thanks for the review! Jubei-Chan: You REVIEWED!!!!! *starts bouncing off the walls, shrieking and clapping hands* I feel so SPECIAL!! Hehehehe... And I love your review! Thankyou! Keep writing poetry! The three girls who are a tad insane... are actually based on me and my two best friends. Hehehehe... and this story is based on things that actually happened... except for Legolas... WAHHHHH!!! Thankyou for reviewing! ~_*

At the sound of the gigantic wail from the tiny elf in her pocket, Elise pulled him out and set him on the bed. "You wanna come with us or stay here until we get back?"

Dakota, Tiffany's dog, jumped up and began sniffing Legolas.

"That would be a 'come with us', I'm guessing," commented Shannon as Legolas leaped back into 'his' pocket.

Tiffany eyed the cookies, still muttering something about cilantro, oregano and cookies. She finally got up after Elise waved her hand in front of Tiffany's eyes a few dozen times. "Well... *gulp* we might as well... head over to Mr. Mansel's house...or we could not..." She made to sit back down.

Five minutes of struggling, cursing, and generally disagreeing later she found herself facing her WONDERFUL next-door neighbour's door, Elise holding both her arms and Shannon armed with the cookies.

"Well, here goes!" Shannon rang the doorbell. Tiffany moaned, but relaxed, apparently not wanting to appear too odd in front of Mr. Mansel.

The door opened, and there stood a man with thinning gray hair and wearing a lab coat. "Yes?" he queried.

"Ummm... HiI'mTiffanyyourneighbour'sdaughterandyouknowhowyougavemymomsomecilantroando reganowellsheaskedmetobringoversomeofthecookiestoyousoheretheyareenjoy!"

"What????"

Elise rolled her eyes. "She pretty much said that her mom sent over some of the cookies she made with the recipe you gave her." Elise edged away when she saw him staring hard at her pocket.

"Yes, come in, come in!" he accepted the cookies from Shannon, and at feeling their weight, looked up again. "Did she not keep any?"

Shannon cut off Tiffany, who had been about to blurt out 'No!' "She made a double batch, so she gave you half, and thanks you very kindly." She stepped in front of Elise and Tiffany, who were trying to hide behind eachother, Elise to hide her pocket, Tiffany for reasons unknown, just generally trying to hide. "If I may be so bold," asked Shannon, pretty sure Elise and Tiffany were busy running in circles, "we heard an explosion earlier..."

"Oh, yes, I'm a-a chemist, and I was... experimenting."

Unbeknownst (A/N: What a cool word!) to the three friends, Legolas had lightly hopped out of Elise's pocket, having gotten a little dizzy from the running in circles. Curious as to what this 'experiment' might have been.

Legolas, half way down the hallway, suddenly looked up to find himself staring at a cat. "Why me..." he groaned. "I'm always the one that stuff happens to. Always ME. I get shrunk, I get mysteriously beamed to this 'Earth', I get discovered by three insane teenagers, I find myself face to face with this huge beast..." he continued this way for a few minutes.

Finally the cat, which had first been interested in a possible meal, was finding itself rather scared. This thing wouldn't stop talking. And talking. And talking. And talking. And talking. And talking. And talking. And talking. And talking.

When Legolas FINALLY shut up, (he may have been learning from our friendly teenagers) he looked up, expecting the cat to be about to eat him. It was actually... asleep. Hmmmm. How could that possibly have happened? Oh, well. Cool. He smacked himself. He had to get back to Middle Earth before any more of their weird ways of talking rubbed off on him.

Completely oblivious to Legolas's near-death situation, Elise and Tiffany continued to run in circles, trying to hide behind each other, Shannon continued to stutter and attempt to make pleasant conversation, completely not helped by the other two, and Mr. Mansel continued to hedge about exactly what he was experimenting with.

Anyway, Legolas's part is more exciting, so back to him.

Having 'defeated' the cat, Legolas victoriously made his way to the shed, very curious as to what a 'chemist' did.

Legolas crept under a door, and out into the garden, which the shed was on the other side of. "Ahhhhh..." sighed Legolas. "Feels like home." Indeed, all the strange looking herbs reminded him amazingly of a forest. He took a brief break from his long journey to sit down in the shade of a cilantro plant before trekking out once again. The lack of flowers certainly added to the foresty feel, as well, there aren't any ten foot flowers in a forest.

Brief check on our other characters: Elise and Tiffany, running in circles, Shannon stuttering, Mr. Mansel hedging. Back to Legolas.

Slipping under the door of the shed, he gazed around in awe. Everything was so... so big! (A/N: Um... yeah. That would be because you're, like, three inches tall, in case you hadn't noticed that yet.) Legolas glared at the author who winced and let Legolas continue with the story.

Legolas hopped up onto a table with a large stone on it. (Author restrains self, staring at small stone.) He reached out to touch it and-

Back to other characters.

Shannon, still stuttering, is suddenly interrupted by a shriek from Elise, who is immediately crashed into by a still-running Tiffany. "He's GONE!"

A/N: Hehehe... Now, if you want more, you must REVIEW!!! MUA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I WILL TAKE OVER THE WORLD WITH MY CLIFFHANGERS!!!! Wait... I already have three other world domination plans with three other people. Oh, well. Now I have four. REVIEW!!!
